'ROM TttE Lt),%. (L\ tiAZE AARCH 15. 11-Qpice, -Larch p,18,1.4. Admiral Lord 'Keith has transmi t ted to John Mm Croker, Esq. aletter'fromilear-Adniiral Penrose, dated hn board his Majesty's ship Pin.- cunine, off the Bar' of the Adour, the 2 5 th of February, stating that the.boats,and small vessels *1 tined 'to assist the operations of, the army under the Marquess of Wellington, succeeded in crossing the Bar of the above river on the pre ceding day. A breeze, which sprung up in the night of the 23d, was the first that had offered itself, since the necessary preparations had been in forwardness, to enable the vessels to reach the •mouth of the Adour ; and early on the following morning; the Rear-Admiral was off the Bar with the vessels and boats collected for the service. . The boats of the vessels of war, with two flat boats, were sent directly to the liar to endeavour to find a passage through the surf,, the British , troops being at that time seen from the ships crossing over to•the north side of the river, 'but greatly in want of' the boats intended for their assistance. _ Cantain in a Spanish-built boat, se lected as the most safe for the service, and hav ing with him the principal pilot, was °verses in his attempt to enter, but escaped on shore. Lieu : tenant Debenham, in a six-oared cutter, succeed ed in reaching the beach ; the other boats re . - turned to wait the result of the next tide, it being scarcely possible that one in fifty could then have crossed. • A pilot was sent to land to the south-west of theriver, and walk from thence to the Adour, in order to make a concerted signal from within the Bar, to guide the vessels through the safest parts. Without the Bar there appeared no interval'; long and heavy line of surf alone prventing itself. Rewards were offered to the leading -vessel, the second, third, &c. Lieutenant Collins, Flag-Lieutenant to Bear- Admiral Penrose, was dispatched also to endea vour to land, and walk -to the army and the Rear-Admiral was informed, about that. time, - by Sir John Hope, of the progress made by the troops; and the great "utility . •whiclif the boats would prove, if they could join. The tide being at length at a proper height, and all the vessels well up for the attempt, several drew near the' Bar,' but hauled off again, till at last Lieutenant Cheyne (of the Woodlark sloop),• in a Spanish -boat,with five British seamen, cross ed the surf and ran up.the river. • The next was a prize boat, •Manned from a transport, closely followed by a gun-boat, commanded by Lieute..- cant Chesshyre,who was the first that haS hoist ed the British colours in the Adour. The rest of the boats and vessels followed in rapid succession, and with extraordinary success : the- zeal and science of the officers triumphing over all the difficulties of the navigation. The Rear-Admiral.w:as not yet enabled to trans 7 mit a return of the casualties : it was honed front the nearness of the shore; that they would fall mostly on the vessels. -_- - - BANKRUPTS.

DUTCH I'APtIIB. ROS7SDAAL i MARC ft 10. , ---(in Tuesday morn ing, at 10 o'clock j , about 3000 English troops broke up- from bende and the places adjac'ent, fur ,nished, it was understood, with storming ladders, and other preparations for an attack ; but the ob ject of their destination was kept a secret. We have since learned, that on the above - day they marched to Halteren, between Steeuhergen and Bergen-op-Zoom, and on the 'following night executed a well-planned, bat in its result, a very unfortunate atrack . upon Bergen-4-ZoOm. . About eleven at night a thousand of the troops approached the fortress with the greatest 'still ness, and having, it appears, successfully crossed the ditches, they climbed the walls,. and pene trated into the town. In the mean time the rest approached the gate, and seeing it open, they thought they could enter in safety. The enemy, however, who had probably made use of the same spies who 'had 'served the English, .were previously aware of the whole, and had taken their :measures in consequence . . Their garrison was in - readiness to attack on all sides the Eng liqh troops- who had got over the walls, while, at 'the same time, with cannon • placed in the 'cross streets, they opened a fire of grape-shot on the ' troops that bad entered . the gate. The contest . was continued for a considerable within the town , , with • desperate valour, but with unequal tneans and at last both the troops which had scaled the walls, and those which entered by the gate, were compelled. to retreat,- with very consi derable loss in killed, wounded,' and prisoners.— With real sorrow,, we have seen return here a part of the English troops, who by their excel lent conduel had gained all hearts, and lament se verely the horrible treachery of which they have been the victims. BREDA, 14Ann 10.—The day before yesterday the English made .an unsuccessful :attack upon Bergen 7 op-Zuom, which cost them about 1,500 men in killed and wounded ;' among the killed is a General, and among the wounded another Ge,- neral and several Colonels. It is said, that a plan of the French has been discovered, to . form a junc tion out 'of -Walcheren and Batz, with the gar rison of Bergen-op-Zoom, and afterwards, at the same time with the garrison from Antwerp, to make an attack on the English lines, which stretch from Breskaat to the Scheldt. The Dutch are now Footed at Zandvlict and Ossendrecbt. DORT, MARCH 11.—The day before yesterday entered .here 400 Germans of the regiment of Orange Nassau, which came over from the French at Bayonne, and landed in transports fiom Eng land. They have been marched to Bois•le-duc. The Dutch papers contain three Official Reports, dated fro►u the head-quarters of the Grand Allied Army. The first report is dated Troyes, Feb. 22. — After mentioning the various affairs in, which Marshal Blucher's army was engaged from the 10th _ - - InJ eaas,ifig far, was attained ; and not to endanger Himself farther by separate battles with a great superio rity of force, he retired towards his old position at Chalons, where he again formed a junction with the corps of Yorck and Sacken. " In the mean time, the Grand Army, which by its position at Troyes was • in , possession of the Upper Seine, by means of two ad vanced corps, made it itself master of all the points for crossing the Seine, from Mery to 'Montereau, and even posted some. detachments on the right bank of the Seine, to observe the enemy, and, on their advance, retire upon the main army at Troyes. These corps spread them selves be.tween Fontainbleatt and Melon. Ne mours was taken by Count Platoff, after an ob stinate fight,. in which about 1,000 prisoners were taken. ",These movements had their effect. The ene my, who, with his main force, was pushing the Silesian army, became alarmed for his right wing, and his communication with the capital .; and this compelled him quickly .to leave the banks of the Marne, ant'. approach in all haste the Seine." The report then details the affairs at Nangis and Montereau, in consequence of which the Grand Army retired, and proceeds thus : ." With the view . of frustrating the object pt the enemy, which was to fall upon separate corps with an overwhelming force, Prince Schwan zenberg-ordered Marshal BlOcher, who bad unit ed his corps at Chalons, again , to come into ac-.- tion, and with hi s army to move back upon Ar cis-sur-Aube, and thence upon Mery ; while at tie same time the Grand Army was assembled at Troyes, there to cross over t.o the right bank of the Seine." MILITARY REPORT. " Head-quarters, Bar-stir-Aube, Feb.ls, 1814. " The movement to the right back of the Seine was effected on the 23d, in the presence of the enemy. - Troyes alone remained occupied on that day ; and in the direction of Sens was.the light division of Prince Lichtenstein, supported by the 3d army corps Under Count Criulay. " On the 24th, , the enemy's whole force co vered the heights of Troyes • our advanced posts retired into, th e suburbs; at - don the road of Sens an action took place with our cavalry merely, which supported its old renown, and repulsed all the enemy's attacks. "At night-fall the enemy occupied the suburbs of Troyes, which we had evacuated. He ventur ed three attacks upon the city, which were re pelled by the valour of General Volkmann and his brigade. "The enemy at last proposed a convention for evacuating the city, which - was no longer - of im portane to us,. as the army had already taken up its position on the other bank ; thus, Was Troyes delivered up to the enemy next day, at six in the Morning. Count Ginlay, and the division Lichtenstein, retired towards Bar-sur-Seine, in which direction they were followed by some cavalry regiments of the enemy, which durst not, however, attempt hny derided attack on the united masses of the corps. In the mean time, Marshal Blucher, by a rapid movement towards the Marne, executed a part of the grand ,plan, according to which of fentive operations were t( be carried on with ac tivity, and in great masses. Ile crossed the Aube at Baudemont, with three pantonns, to attack Marshal Marmont,.who, on the 24th, was still at Sezanne. " Generals Billow, Winzingerode, Woronzow, and the Duke of Weymar, are in communication With the corps of Marshal Blucher, who has taken the.command of this numerous army, and has begun his operations in the rear aid on the left wing of the enemy." • " Head-quarters, Colombey, March 2. " The assembled corps or Marshals Oudinot, Victor, and Macdonald, united with the cavalry division of Generals-Milhaud and Nansouty, at tacked on the 27th ult. our position on the Aube, Which was defended by the 6th army-corps, under Count Wittgenstein, and the sth under General Wrcde. " The attacks of the, enemy who had received - peremptory orders to force this position', were very severe ; Bar-snr-Aube was taken by him ; he had occupied the heights of Arconval and the wood of Levigny, with the apparent .viewof 'carrying the heights .of Vernonfait, which was the centre of our position: As soon as our columns were fornied and in teadineSs to march, the Commander-in-Chief, who was with them at the very commencement of the action, 'ordered a general attack on all the 'points occupied by the enemy. The advanced' posts of Count Wittgenstein were withdrawn upon the reserves of Prince Gortschakoff..; while Gen. Pahlen, with his cavalry, supported by the infan try of Prince Eugene of Wurtemberg, penetrated over the heights of Arentiere and Levigny, in the rear of the enemy. ".At the same time the reserve infantry and the .division of Russian cuirassiers drove the enemy from the heights of Verboufait, which . he had mastered by a warm attack. " The enemy's cavalry thrice charged, to cover 'their flying infantry ; but a well-timed tire of grape-shot from the Russian artillery posted there 4 drove them bilek in disorder. The enemy still occupied the heights of Arcouval with strong masses ; but a .veil ordered flank-march of Gen. Volktnarin's, in concert with another, under the direction of the Bavarian Colbnel Herding, ex pelled him from this position also. At the same • time Gen. Wrede stormed and took possession of Bar,sur-Atibe. The' victory was decided ; and the enemy fled in disorder towards Vandoeuvres; which is already occupied by our troops. ! • " The field of battle was covered with the ene my's dead ; more than 800 pi isoners, whose num bers are every. hour encreasing, and among whtnn is Colonel Moncey, the brother of the Marshal, two pieces of cannon, and some hundreds of mus kets, are,the jruiti of this brilliant day. All the troops maintained their old renown. The Com mander in Chief and Count Wittgenstein were both slightly wounded. " While the,Main army of the enemy has thus been kept - employed, Marshal Blucher, in con- Curutign 'oenoue Lu Inrerhat posts of Marshal Marmon't, and thrown a bridge - over the Macrae. " The enemy, in consequence of the manceuvres of the Allied Armies, has been compelled to se parate his force, and has gone in person against Marshal Blucher, the direction of whose march must give rise to great events." • VIENNA', Fee. 22.—His Royal Highness the Archduke Francis arrived here on the,2oth, with his august spouse. According to accounts froth Constantinople, the Divan.is to propose the ,ad mission of an Envoy from the Sublime Porte in the Congreis for a General Pacification, either to maintain the rank of Turkey as a power of the first order, or to defend her interests in such ne gociations as shall have for their object commerce and navigation in the Mediterranean' and Black Seas.. HAGUE, MARCH I 1 —Preparations are making at Amsterdam for the assembling of the Notables on the 28th, and the siege of Naarden is carried on with additional vigour. On Saturday last 250 Dutch soldiers were turneds-out of the garrison. It is supposed the place will be bombarded in a day or two; twelve mortars destined for that purpose passed through Amsterdam on Sunday last. The jiere.dilary Prince has returned from his tour of inspection. General Daendels, formerly, Commander-in- Chief of the Dutch force, and afterwards Gover nor of Batavia, is now here, and has daily au diences of the Royal Family and great Constituted Authorities. Last night the whole of the Royal Family vi sited the Dutch -Theatre ; the house was crowded with the first people of the country, and the Royal Personages , experienced a mo s t en th us i ast i c re ception. MILAN, FEB. 16.--We understand that our army will quit, to-morrow or the ,day after, the line of the Nincio, and will occupy a position ou the Po. A column of 5000 Austrians entered Parma on the Ilth of this mouth. • FEB. 23.—According to accounts received from the right bank of the Mincio, Marshal Bellegarde has removed his head-quarters to Verona. Lieu tenant-General Count Neuperg took, two dayi since, the command of the .Austrian troops of the first line. • According to the reports of several deserters, arrived at our outposts, the army of the enemy suffers much from the scarcity of forage. In nil the country between the Adige and the Mincio, no more has been found than twenty bottles of hay and one sack of oats. • Since the battle of the Bth the army of the enemy has been reinfOreed by the regiment of ca valry of Hohenzollern, and by the regiment of cuirassiers of Sommariva. The Lords of the Council met at the Council Chamber, Whitehall, yesterday, at ten o'clock, and continued sitting until two, bearing bite Appeals, &c. • MALTA MALL.
