Independent of the motives which have influenced t! present French expedition, to come to take the citadel of Antwerp, which is to insure the peace of Europe, by the fulfilment of a treaty signed and ratified by the great Powers who have their•all at stake, their is something chivalrous in their mode of attack. They are debarred by various circumstances, from attacking more than one-thiul of the fortress, and that is the most strongly fortified. The neutrality of the town protects it from the Esplanade, which is the weakest side, and the want of a flotilla, as well as the presence of the Dutch gun-boats in the Scheldt, • and the forts at Burcht, at the Tete de Flandre, and at Austroweel, and the inundation of the polders, prevent all movement on the part of General Sehastiani's division to assail the citadel from the left bank. The citadel is there fore secure on the side of the river, for Fort du Kid is strongly supported by the gunboats, and this fort is besides unattackable except on that side. In my letter of this afternoon I mentioned that the French had fired considerably at the sluice which sepa rates the ditch of the citadel from the Scheldt, and which, oa being closed, keeps the ditch full, even during low wa ter. There is another sluice at the point where the forti , ficatione of the city join those of the citadel, which is destined to prevent the water from flowing around the ci tadel into the ditch that surrounds the city, and from passing into the Scheldt at the embouchure near the docks, which is the point most distant from the citadel. The ditches of the town having been empty during some flays, the French have endeavoured to break open, and this day effected their purpose of opening this sluice, which has forced much water from the ditch of the citadel inr•' that round the city. It will be exceedingly difficult for the garrison to repair this sluice. The water in the ditch of Fort St. Laurent is supplied from the ditch of the citadel, through an aqueduct lead,. ing near the covered passage, which I described as so for midable as to prevent an attack there. It is considered by well-informed persons that the garrison has a means of preventing the water from flowing back through this aqueduct, which of course will not reduce the quantity round St. Laurent. However, I have been assured that it was a good deal diminished at low water this evening. By opening the sluices leading to the river at high water, the garrison can fill for a time the ditches of the citadel and at St. Laurent also. The only advantage, therefore, which the bursting of the sluice can produce is, that the water round must at certain times be considerably diminished. (No. 12,562.)

THE HAGUE, DEc. 9.—Yesterday, at noon, a courier arrived here from Berlin, with news that her Royal High. nes Princess Marianna, Consort of his Royal Highness Prince Albert of Prussia, had been delivered of a still born child. The Princess herself was doing well. The accounts received yesterday from the citadel of Antwerp, are to seven o'clock in the evening of the 6th, and we are happy to say that they were favourable, though the enemy had for two whole days kept up a continued fire from their cannons, &c., which, accord ing to well-informed persons, are more numerous than were ever before employed in such a siege. Much less damage had been done than might have been expected. Some buildings which were evacuated at the beginning of the siege when the garrison went into quarters that are bomb prof had been set on fire by the besiegers. On the other band, it was observed from the citadel that the continued and well-directed fire of our guns and musketry did much damage to the works and batteries of the be siegers, and also killed and wounded a considerable num ber of men. No officer had been killed in the citadel. (Signed) W. G DEDEL. r Half by the 20th Pp I January next, ~A SE DA , 500 9uarters . and the remain- MEAL 4O Tons I der by the 15th of February fol l TO M.

" My Dearest beloved Clara,—l am sorry you should have Disopinted me so as I came hereby to see you, but as you was not at home I could not see you, but if something perticular bad not been the reason I should sartinly have had the pleasure I corn for and that you know is a pleasure to me, but if it was the pleasure to you as it is to me, you would not disopinte me, as you I would not serve you so my Dr). My love you ask me if I still earnestly deserve our anion. My Dr how can you ask me such A Question, when you know, or ought to know before now ; but if you are so pictions about things, I am not; and the more you know of me the more you ought to love me, as I Dowe, if you was afraid as you say about me, you would let me see you oftner than you dou my loveliest Deare. lam so unhappy to think you are gone out, and knowin I was coming, I assure you I am very un comfortable About you—you distress me beyond measure, to think I could not see the only Com fort I have ; but if I can possible see I will on tuesday next, so then I shall expect the Pleasure of seeing the dar ling of my hart; pray Dont let any body see this but yourself. The firing this eveuiag has, when compared with that of yesterday, been very slack on both sides. I went at four o'clock, as the weather was clear and dry, to see the proceedings. The citadel looked shattered ;of its largest buildings, the shells alone were standing. The French guns continued to throw projectiles into it ; yet some of the Dutch used occasionally to exhibit their heads to peep round, like rabbits in a warren, which they soon with drew when danger approached. Mr. CURWOOD, in opening the pleadings, said, that this was an action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The damages were laid at 5001. Mr. Sergeant JONES stated the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff followed the business of a working jeweller, and wasabout thirty years of age at the time of his marriage, his wife being then about twenty six. Clara Thomas, whom he then married, namely in November, 1830, had been a governess in a gen tleman's family. From that time till the occurrence which formed the subject of the present action, they lived very happily together, and probably would have continued in the full enjoyment of domestic comfort to the present hour, had it not been for the conduct of the defendant. The plaintiff and his wife lodged in the house of Mr. Roberts, in Co penhagen-street,and their landlord, who did not him self reside in the house, became a frequent visiter of theirs, and finally a visiter of Mrs. Haller exclu sively, whom he was in the habit of coming to see in her husband's absence, his business frequently requiring him to be absent from home. He could not but call the attention of the Jury to one or two facts, especially important in a case like that, of which the most satisfactory evidence would be given. The parties were of an age perfectly suit able to each other—so was their station in life—so likewise were their habits and general conduct. It was also worthy of observation that the defendant, who was a man far advanced in years, had done all in his power to seduce the affections of the plain tiff's wife, and had even endeavoured to cost an appearance of religion over their unworthy and criminal intercourse, as would appear from some of the compositions which, before he sat down, he should read to the Jury. The Learned Counsel then went through the facts of the case as after wards detailed in evidence. Joseph Perry and Thomas Clay proved the mar riage of the parties; and the latter bore testimony to the happy terms en which they lived together. Joseph Bruce—l am a jeweller. I know the plaintiff, and have known him above eight years. He is a working jeweller, and has lived in Copen hagen-street, Clerkenwell. His business took him out occasionally. I have vsited him and his wife sometimes. I thought they lived happily together. Haller had a complaint in his throat, but it did not prevent his going about his business. In April last I received a note from him, in con sequence of which I went to his house. He Yesterday, during the whole day, and until this morn ing at nine, there was a repetition of what took place the day before. We still heard the sound of the cannon of the citadel. Last night a chaloup with two seamen and a servant arrived in the midst of a shower of balls, with intelligence to the Rear-Admiral that Lieut. -Colonel de Hoer had been badly wounded in the arm by the bursting of a grenade in the ckinaber of General Chasse. He bad been obliged to submit to amputation. Gen. Chasse and also Colonel Koopman were present. It is said that we have as yet only thirty wounded; the French, on the other hand, have already several thousands. The enemies' balls fall in the Scheldt. The vessels slowly descend the river. the Charge d'Affaires of his Britannic Majesty at the Hague, of Nov. 2, having contained a complete answer to the note of Mr. Jerningham of the 29th October, there has been no further communication as to the motive of the embargo which the English Government has put upon Netherland vessels. In this state of affairs the undersigned has received or ders to protest, in the most formal manner, as he does by these pre.ents, against this measure, as incompatible, ac cording to the rights of nations, kith the security and re spect due to the navigation of friendly Powers, and to claim from the justice of the British Government, and its respect for the law of nations, the immediate removal of the embargo that has been laid upon Netherland vessels which, under the faith of treaties, were in the ports of England, as well as the revocation of the orders issued for stopping on the sea those navigating under the flag of the Netherlands. WEDNESDAY MORNING:. There has been a sort of rumour current among the partisans of the Dutch that the French troops had made an attack on Fort St. Laurent during the night of Mon day last, which was repulsed with considerable loos. I have made inquiries in well-informed quarters, and find it denied that the formal attack was made. The Dutch, it is stated, made a sortia at six o'clock that evening, from the gorge leading between Fort St. Laurent and the cita del, and upset some quantity of gabions ; after which they retired, without having caused any obstructio❑ to the works directed against the citadel itself. In my letter of yesterday, I mentioned that a miner had been pushed off the scarp of St. Laurent, who was afterwards withdrawn. This may have been considered as the attack, as it occa sioned great firing. There is great stress laid by some persons on what they call " this failure of the French attack," but the French profess that Fort St. Laurent is not of such great value, as being partly abandoned ; and affirm positively, that no real attack has been as yet made on the fort, but do not deny their intention to make one within 4S hours. (From the Stoats Courant.) The following message was, o❑ the 6th instant, com municated to the States General by his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who spoke as follows : In the note which I, o❑ the 2d of last month, laid before the English and French! Ambassadors, and the fol lowing day also laid before your High Mightinesses, his Majesty spoke of continual inclination to follow the nego tiations in the best and most probable manner, to annul the difficulties which have hitherto taken place, and at the same time the written document, which to that purpose was sent to our Minister Plenipotentiary at London, was forwarded. The following three letters from the Baron Van Zuylen Van Nyevelt, addressed to Lord Grey last November, give a full detailed account of the consequences of the said document. These, besides others, show that the British Government, by answer of the 13th of November, stated that the English Government could not, without alteration, agree to the proposals or treaty which was sent from Berlin, and that the evacuation of the citadel of Ant werp must be considered as a needful and necessary preli • minary to any negotiation being further undertaken. These letters were afterwards, by the Netherlands Mi ❑ister, communicated to the representatives of Austria, Prussia, and Russia in London.—(These five letters are not given in the Stoats Courant.)—O❑ the 6th of No vember the English Government issued orders for the de tention and embargo of all Netherland merchant ships; a similar measure was adopted i❑ France. This violation of our navigation gave occasion to four notes, on the ith and Stb November, between the Netherlands Pleni potentiary in London and Lord Palmerston, and to the following yet-unanswered note addressed, by the King's order, by M. Dedel, to Lord Palmerston, on the 18th November : The Netherland Government reserves to itself its rights to an equitable indemnity for the losses which this em bargo and these orders have occasioned to its subjects. Obliged on its side to use reprisals, it has limited them to the sending back from its ports within a specified time English vessels, and the non-admission of those which in tended to proceed thither. It is ready to revoke these measures as soon as Great Britai❑ shall have restored the habitual communications between the two countries. The undersigned seizes this occasion of reiterating to hi• Excellency Viscount Palmerston the assurances of his highest consideration.

With this short detail your High Mightinesses may permit me to say that at no period have circumstances taken place of so extraordinary a character, and the simple perusal of the documents shows them in their true colours. But when once force is thrown into the scale the best rea soning is useles.l, and prudence demands our silence. But a feeling which fills the bosom of every true Netherlander is responded to throughout Europe. The Minister then stated that a similar ❑ote bad been delivered to the French Minister for Foreign Affairs at Paris. He notices the blockade by the combined fleets, the entrance of the French army into Belgium, and the siege of the citadel of Antwerp. He then also communi cated the correspondence relative to M. Thorn. 11 O'CLOCK. The firing was rather brisk from 12 to 3 o'clock, during the night. The French, whose works still advance, lust 30 men, killed and wounded, in a boy an d'approcke. The reason of the withdrawal of the miner on the night before last is stated to be the hardness of the wall, on which his tools did not make an impression. 12 O'CLOCK. The firing has continued during the morning occa sionally brisk. The weather is dry and crisp, from a slight frost. Nothing important seems to be expected to-day. 1 O'CLOCK, 1".31. I have been to the post, in order to know what hos taken place on the river. The French sent down the river this morning two lighters, one laden with powder and shot, the other with four I S-pounders. The tide is run ning out—it is nearly low water; there has, withi❑ two hours, been beard booming along the river the frequent sound of cannon, which, as the mist prevents the cause being seen, is said to come from the Dutch ships firing on the battery at Kruys Schaus (La Croix). It is thought, that the French also fire from the battery placed in the old tort La Perla, hut it is at a great distance from the shipping, The Dutch are said to have landed some sailors from the gun-boats, who, from St. Laurent, catch the newly thrown-up earth with grappling irons, and when they drag it, another set fire into the trenches.

The defendant lives in Yardley street, Clerkenwell ; I saw him at the plaintiff's lodgings, in Copenhagen -street, a week after he had left them. The defendant said to me, " Here is a very strange thing; Mr. Haller is gone away with out paying his rent, and if it were not for Mrs. Haller's sake, I would not let the goods go." I told hint Mrs. Haller was living in Margaret-street, and he then requested me to desire her not to send any more letters to him, as it made a difference be tween him and his wife. George Silvester—l am a law stationer. I know Mr. and Mrs. Haller. In the early part of 1832 they lived in Copenhagen -street, Pentonville. My wife is dead. I lived in the same house with Mr. and Mrs. Haller; they appeared to me to live happily. I understood the defendant to be the landlord of the house in which we all lodged. I remember that on the sth of April, Mr. Haller was in my apartment. Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Haller were on the first floor. We took off our shoes, and %vent down and listened at the door of the room in which they were. In consequence of what we heard, Haller opened the door, rushed in, and I followed him. Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Haller were on the bed together. She sprung off the bed. He got up also, and appeared much confused, and did not recover himself for a few moments. He said," What need there be such a piece of work? There is no harm done." Mr. Haller upbraided bitterly, and he then made the best of his way out of the house. Mr. Haller seemed to feel the injury he had sustained very severely, and abused the defendant for his treachery. Ido not know that Roberts follows any business. I understand that he is an independent man. Anne E. Simpson proved that the plaintiff and his wife lived happily together. The following documents were then put in and read in evidence:— `' Meet me by turnbritch house ; corn soon, and will be there pray don't stop to keep me waiting." This note is written on a small piece of paper, supposed to be part of a letter addressed to the de fendant; inasmuch as will be found at the back thereof, in ink, and a good hand-writing, the follow ing words, viz., " Muel Roberts, Esq." There can be little doubt entertained who wrote the above note thereon in pencil. s The plaintiff then took from his pocket another slip of paper, whereon was pencil-writing, and re quested Mrs. Silvester to read it, which she did, and which last-mentioned note appears to contain the following words:— " My Deare,—You drink tea soon, and we sh ill have the more time togather, and I will be with you after seven o'clock, if nothing happens to prevent me." The following are copies of letters from the de feadant to the plaintiff's wife, and by him f oun d i n her writing-desk, as are in the case alluded to : " My Derest Love and Life,—With waht Pleasure do I write this to a person whom I so adore, and sory I am to be so disapiuted from seeing the darling of my hart. I am sure yould not neglect me if you could help it, but I hope it will not be long before I shall have the pleasure of meeting again. 1 asure you it is too much for me to en counter. But must wait with patience. I should like to have seen you, and then I could have told you more than I can write, but please God 1 will see you on thuraday next if all is well, and then all will be rite I boFe in our harts, once again, if 1 can com 1 will be with you by half-past eleven o'clock, when I shall have comfort of my Detest " Pray toy love Burn th;s when you have Peruse but tell me if you from the hart that you think you shall like our union and he happy if so than ray sweet life we shall be bouth happy and comfortable to gather my ever adorable Clara amen " Directed Mrs. Haller." George Silvester was recalled by the Learned Judge, and stated that he did not observe that the dress of either the defendant or Mrs. Haller was discomposed at the time they were discovered on the bed together. Mr. Sergeant TADDY for the defendant, agreed with his client on one point, that the world was round, and had no end, but for all that, there were many odd things in the world, and many odd ways of making money too, and bringing the present ac tion was one of the odd ways in which money was to be made. The fact was, that the plaintiff in the present action came to the house of Mr. Roberts, arid determined to pay him no rent. Had the slightest attempt been made by his Learned Friend to show that any rent had been paid ? Not a farthing, and how did the husband and wife set about that goodly undertaking ? They got Roberts to stand god father for their child, and in process of time he be-' came very fond of the child, and, no doubt, acted like a very foolish old man both to mother and child ; but the question at present was not about his folly, but whether or not, to use his own expression, he had " done any harm." It was not a question whether he had behaved like an old fool, but whe ther he had been criminally connected with the plaintiff's wife. There was also another question was the husband a pander to his own dishonour ? The Jury, he was satisfied, could not entertain the slightest doubt that he was himself the cause of that dishonour. The Jury, he trusted, would not lose sight of the conduct all along pursued by the hus band. When found in the room with Mrs. Haller, what did Roberts say, but that there was no need for so much disturbance—there was no harm done. He might well say so, for he was past the age of doing any harm. The Jury, after consulting for about half an hour, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001.

Butler, painter, Little St. Thomas Apostle EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—At the Middle sex Sessions, yesterday, a young man named HALL, and MARIA Ft9RDE, a female of much persona/ beauty, were indicted for an assault on FREDERICK FORDE, the husband of the female. The prosecutor said, that on the 25th of September, HALL, who had been his lodger, was return ing with him and his wife from a festive party, when he stopped for a moment, and as the prisoners went on some thing passed between them as to arouse his jealousy, and he left them in a passion. When his passion cooled, he made his way home, but what was his surprise to find the two prisoners in bed together in HALL'S room. He aroused them from their sleep, upon which HALL as saulted him with a stick, and his wife attempted to stab him with a clasp knife."—The wife here exclaimed, " FREDERICK, you have not got the knife."—The Court was shocked at her sang froid, and the prosecutor, as if inspired by phrenzy, tore open his waistcoat pocket, and drawing forth the knife, said, with an agitated tone, " Yes, here it is."—HALL said that Mrs. FORDE came i n t o hi s roo m when he was asleep, and Mr. FORDE vio lently assaulted him while he was in the arms of Mor pheus.—The unblushing wife made no defence.—The Jury found them both guilty, and the Court sentenced them to four months' imprisonment.

The French still continue their works, but the firing is rather slack. BRUSSELS, WEDNESDAY NooN. I am heartily tired of writing " The last accounts from Antwerp state that the operations of attack and defence were continued with equal determination on both sides." I wish I could change my tone, and am as anxiou s for any event that would enable me to do so as the most in terested quidnunc in London. But, being chained down to a narrative of facts as I find them, I am sorry that I am still obliged to say that things are going on as before, and at the citadel as usual. The firing can be heard at a little distance from this town, though not so well as a few days since. The cannonade on and front the citadel was going on briskly to a late hour last night, and, as we can hear, was resumed early this morning. With what effect, ,s far as to day is concerned, we cannot yet tell. The Lunette St. Laurent had not been taken at the date of the last accounts, as you were no doubt led to expect from the letter of yesterday, and it is probable that it is still in the possession of the Dutch. You will have observed, as no doubt it must have reached you through the French papers nearly as salon as it could reach us here, that Marshal Gerard, in his letter of the 7th, to the Minister of War, explains the causes of the protracted state of the operations of the besiegers. It is quite certain that the moonlight has retarded the works by exposing the workmen to a most destructive fire, by which many of them have suffered. The moonlight, however, will give way in a few days. Whether the second cause of the delay—the obstinate defence of the Dutchmen—will give way at the same time, remains to be seen. It is one cause of satisfaction at least, that if the siege does not make the progress on which many had calcu lated, it does not go back—no step or position gained has been lost, and every day the works are becoming more and more advanced—so as new to have nearly reached their closest point in front of the enemy. That it must fall nobody ventures to doubt, though of course opinions now vary as to the probable time that may intervene. The besiegers, as you will see in the accounts below, have gained one point in blowing up the sluice which kept the waters to a considerable depth in the fosse of the cita del. Some military men here state that this was a pre mature step, as in all probability Chasse will have time to fill his fosse again before the French are ready to attempt to cross it. • ui sbjiemore of h on r preciouscon You will perceive that the two young Prin ces o f F rance are every day becoming more and mo re popu l ar i n the il a ni a r o t r u: c . o . onbvj e T e cr h ts a e y at iso m nb i r, x vo ti u ht h p e r y7 t sh i oe t l h ind i e t or h ns e . men,theTenhs, visit sc t them or e their posts and in the hospitals, an d enter i nto the most faini than gold in the estimation of a French soldier. But the young Dukes have not evinced the interest they take in the comfort of the soldiers to words only. They left 500 francs to the wounded in the hospital at Antwerp.

HALF-PAST 5 O'CLOCK, C. M. The accounts which left Antwerp at half - pdst I, and those which left Berchem at 2, describe the contest a s going on rather mor e briskl y at both sides.
