The latter by a strong redoubt. At the latter place the enemy approached with bayonets charged, and guns without flints , irarly. siirrounded the piquet, and pursued them so closely as to enter through the abattis with diem, and got in the rear,of the re doubt (where an 18-pounder, two sixes, and five one-half inch howitzer, were placed), befOre a complete discharge could be made from them, which our men were compelled to do, without paying any attention to the.pignet. • Their scaling ladders were too short, and de struction was dealt on every side :nuong them.

Their negotiating will not continue more than eight days, then the Congre - ss will be opened.

The English Commissioners give to-day, inetheir turn, an entertaiument to the American Ministers.. The negociations are still continued. GHENT, SEPT. IB.—Never was • there a more active correspondence than that between the Ho tel of Lovindishem and the Charteaux. During the last week couriers in the English. and Ameri can livery were incessantly going, -coming, and c.x.changing . notes. Last Thursday, the, public curiosity, already on tip-toe, - Was .raised to the highest pitch, when about five in the afternion,• two 'strangers, seemingiy of very high rank, a they were conducted by the Intendant, were seen to enter . the Hotel of the American Ministers ;, 8.1-74 most at the same moment the Members of the. Englishh - Legation arrived with- their Secretaries.

The English Legation gives to-day a d arner to the American Ithnisters. Nothing is more indifferent than a dinner, bet it ceases to be so when every body tries to guess, front the external relations between the Engl;sli and American Minister S, whether they continue to agree, or not to agree. It. is probable' that, they will agree to-day precisely as they agreed on their first conference but how did they agree then ? That is their secret, which they well.knunr how to keep. DRESDEN, SEPT. IG. -!- 'the report in many public papers, ti4it the King of Saxony has, by a formal act, renounced all flaints to Saxony, is wholly groundless.

At the Diet, they II he the.first who Avill declare for Sweden. They have invited Count' Wedel Jarlsberg to-: join them, :and there is no doubt that Norway will obtain an advantageous constitution. The enthusiasm of all ranks of the Swedes fOr the Crown Prince is now lq the highest pitch they attribute the speedy and happy termination of the war with' Norway equally to his military talents and his wise . policy.
