The sot. !rs of the line have not suffered so much, although they have had often to contend against the musketry of the enemy. The last day the Duke of Orleans was in the ttenches will give proof of this. In the morning, the b ills coming from the citadel whistled so close to the ears of the soldiers, that one of them, by an involuntary move ment, stooped his head, on which the Duke advance.l in the midst of them, saying, " Make yourselves easy,, my friends, the Dutch fire too high. You see I am taller than you, and their balls touch me not." in speaking thus he kept his head erect, although several balls fell near him during the half hour he remained with the soldiers in conversation with them, and giving them an example of his great coolness. This morning there is no smoke from the citadel, and we see distinctly the remains of the barrack, which still burns. ARMY CONTRACTS. COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT, TREASURY CHAMBERS, DEC. 1, 1832.

FERRY'S UNIVERSAL FAMILY PlLLS.—These Stomachic Pills, known formerly by the name of Counting-house Pills, have long been cele brated for the following diseases, in which they are un equalled—viz., head-ache, giddiness, lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, flatulency, acidity, costiveness, derange iments of the liver, stomach, or bowels, indigestion, bile, fulness and weight after meals; they strengthen the sto ma* and give fresh life and vigour to the whole system. Sold in boxes at Is., by Butler, Chymist, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's; Savory and Co., 136, New Bond street ;• Sanger, 150, Oxford-street; Willoughby, 61, il ishomate-street, and the principal Dealers in Patent Medicines. Of-whom may be had PERRY'S SNUFF. The virtues of this Snuff are invaluable in relieving head ache, arising from close application, weak nerves, or any other cause ; also in watery, inflamed, or weak eyes, dim -1"8, giddiness, drowsiness, stupor, and stoppages in the ' , cad. Persons who visit sick rooms, unwholesome or i nfectious places, will find the use extremely valuable. In boxes at Is. IMPORTANT TO ALL. AN eminent Medical Writer has remarked, and experience has proved the fact beyond dispute, that those who are attentive to keeping the Stomach and bowels in proper order, preserve health, prevent disease, and generally attain cheerful and healthy old age; for that truly desirable purpose, these pills are particularly adapted, being Prepared with the sulphate of quinine, and the most choice St omachic„, and aperient drugs of the materia medica.— T hey have for many years proved superior to every other 10edicine in the cure of stomach and liver complaints, in digestion, sensation of fulness and oppression after meals, val)itual costiveness, flatulence, shortness of breath, stomach toughs, spasms, worms in children and grown persons, and ell disorders incident to the stomach and bowels. They are also truly efficacious in the cure of colds, :ours, rheu -I.3satistn, gout, jaundice, dropsy, and gravel, and ' an excel lent restorative after any excess or too free indulgence at the table, as they gently purge and cleanse the bowels, strengthen the stomach, improve digestion, exhilarate tae spirits, induce a he Ithy action of the liver, and invi gorate the whole constitution. Females who value good he alth should never be without them, as they purify the bl ood, remove obstructions, and give the skin a clear , h ealthy, and blooming appearance. Persons of a plethoric habit who are subject to giddiness, dimness of sight, drow tess, or have too great a flow of blood to the head , l uuld take th e m f requen tly. They are so mild and gentle iKil their actio n th a t c hild ren an d persons of all ages may t ake them at any time, as they do not contain mercury or 4 71 ingredient that requires confinement or restriction of °f climate. nor can their virtues be impaired 'by time or change climate. They should be k e pt in every family as a re edy yin c ase o f su dd en ill ness , f or b y t h e i r prompt admi stration cholera morbus, cram ps, s p as ms, fevers, and Other alarming complaints may be speedily cured or pie veated. To descrihe all their excellent properties and the urea they have performed would fill volumes, and exceed cr edibility ; suffice it to say, there is scarcely any disease v n er svill nut either prevent or cure, and none in which they can possibly do harm. 4prepar e d and so ld by J.

Yesterday evening an inquest was held before Mr. STIRLING, at the Weaver's Arms, Newington-green, on the body of the above unfortunate gentleman, who was found drowned in the New River on Friday last. He was the nephew of William Allen, Esq., of Plough-court, Lombard-street, and highly connected with the Society of Fr iends. Francis Denyer, servant to Mr. Allen, of Stoke New ington, the uncle of the deceased, saw Mr. H inbury alive on Thursday evening I.st, about half-past 6 o'clock, at which time he rang at the door of h►s master's house, when he asked if Mr. Allen was at home. The witness opened the gate, but he said, " I am not coming in—not coming in." He then said something about the nephew of Mr. Allen's throwing himself into the river. Witness said " Who?" " William Allen's nephew, but you need not take any notice, you will hear all about it in the morn ing." He went away immediately. By a Juror—Did Mr. Allen desire you to deny him, and did you ever take any letter from him ?—Yes ; but he would not receive it; he said lie was a madman. Mr. Michael Hooke, of No. 2, Alpha-road, Regent's Park, said the deceased had lodged at his house for the last 12 months. He was decidedly insane. Bythe CORONER—What was he, a military man ?—Yes. He wrote to me some months since, and sent some keys, when he said he intended to shoot himself. The witness went on to state, among other inc.insistencies, that he caused his own death to he inserted in the news papers. He left his home with only his slippers on about a week since and he had not heard of him until lie found he was drowned. By a Juror—Did the deceased ever go into St. Giles's and change his clothes with a poor man whom he met with at that place ? No ; that was another branch of the family, a nephew. George Tait, of the Sluice-house, deposed4o finding the body of the deceased on Friday last, about 100 yards from the bridge, near the Green•lane. There was a rope round his neck, but no marks of violence on his body. A gentleman here observed that a few years since the deceased was spending 14,0001. or 15,000/. a year, and that he had been separated from his wife, with whom he had had differences, which had led to this fatal catastrophe. Verdict—" Insanity." THE HAND-LOOM WEAVERS.—We an nounced a meeting of this body in our last, for the purpose of resisting a charge of 6d. per week per loom, made by the masters. The meeting took place on Tuesday evening, when a series sf resolutions were adopted expressive of de termined opposition to the demand, and declaring that any weaver acceding to it will be considered an enemy to the trade.—Manchester .Advertiser. INGENIOUS CONTRIVANCE.—Mr. COUL SON, decorative painter, No. 5, James's-square, has managed to convert his house into a town and country residence, by an ingenious and tasteful contrivance, in which art and nature are set to work, as it were, for the mere purpose of mutually adorning each other. A small plot of earth behind the house, which was formerly a place of deposit for coals and lumber, has been converted into a beautiful little parterre, full of trees, shrubs, flowers, and singing birds, and enriched with the busts and sta tues of nearly all the great men who have lived, and not a few of the deities of the Pantheon. There is also a hot-house filled with rare plants —a large wired dove house, with some lovely specimens of the common and turtle-dove—also pheasants, and other feathered bipeds, with a jolly old eagle overlooking the whole, whose eyerie is surmounted by a fine bead of Jupiter. The latest ornament added to this fairy spot, is a large mo• nument, eighteen feet six inches high, to the memory of the late Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart., with a full-length figure of that illustrious man in a niche, on the upper part of a pyramid, supported by the Muses. SHAKSPEARE, BYRON, BONAPARTE, &c., stand in front of Sir WALTER, on pedestals of COADE'S patent rich or namental composition stone, which has a fine effect, si milar to those monuments in Westminster Abbey. The garden is surrounded by walls built in the form of an ancient time-worn cathedral, with ruined carvings and di lapidated windows, and covered at intervals with fog and ivy, which give it the appearance of a venerable old ruin, in the area of which the garden with its busts and monu ments are placed. The space containing all these curiosi ties does not exceed 20 yards square, and shows how much improvement can be made upon small spots of ground in crowded cities, by those who prefer the beauties of nature before their parlour windows, to the ungainly sight of parched mould, or weeds and lurnber,..Scolsman.

The publication of the bills of entry, and other documents connected with the de partment, had long been a source of such Brea' emolument to the patentee, that the Directors of the Customs' Annuity Society agreed to take the publication into their own hands, and to pay the patentee an annuity of 2,000/. for his privilege. Nearly at the same time the Directors also entered into an agreement with Mr. C. Ogilvie, who was their Secretary, to commit to him all the manage ment of these publications. A deed was accordingly executed between them, in which Mr. Ogilvie entered into an agreement to pay, first, to Mr. Frankland Lewis his annuity of 2,0001. a year out of theirofits, and afterwards to hand over one moiety of the produce remaining for the use of the Di rectors, and to retain the other moiety to himself a , compensation for the management, with this condi tion, that if the moiety remaining to him did exceed 2,0001. a year, he was to pay over all sur plus to the Directors, with the exception of 10 pet cent., to which he would be entitled on the sur plusage thus given up. Subsequently, however, the Directors entered into another arrangement with Mr. Ogilvie, by which they agreed he was to commence paying them an annual sum of 1,200/ a year, which was to be increased in three years to 1,500/. a year, and was then to continue at that amount, Mr. Ogilvie retaining ail that the office might produce beyond it, with the exception of the 2,0004 a year to be paid over to the patentee. In August Mr. Ogilvie died, and his executors ap pointed by the will having declined to take probate under it, Mr. Coe, one of the present defendants, was appointed to adnsinister the effects. From the time of the execution of the deed, Mr. Ogilvie had, it seemed, kept two distinct accounts at the esta blishment of his bankers, the defendants—one his private account, the other the account of the pay ment and receipts on account of the patent office, of which he was the manager; arid it was stated by one of the clerks that this latter account was called Mr. Ogilvie's official account, and that it was composed exclusively of moneys received on account of the publication of the bills of entry. At the time of his death there was a balance of 1,000/. and upwards in his favour on this account, and the , plaintiffs now prayed that the bankers might be re strained from parting with it till the accounts were fairly taken, and it was proved to be due to them as the Directors of the Society.—lnjunction granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 1 1 . METALLIC HONES-BLOWFIELD V. PAYNE AND KELL. Mr ARCHBOLD stated, that the plaintiff, a cuttler in Middle-row, Holborn, had in February last in vented a metallic hone for giving a smooth, sharp edge to razors, penknives, and surgical instruments; and that the defendants had, to the great disadvan tage of the plaintiff, sold a spurious article of the kind as and for that of the plaintiff; and that this action was brought to recover compensation in da mages for this injury. The plaintiff sold several of these hones to clerks in the Bank of England, among others, and the hones were wrapped up in papers, with directions. The price was three shil lings and sixpence each. The defendant Kell was a clerk in the Bank of England, and was also in partnership with his mother-in-law, the defendant, Mrs. Payne, who carried on the business of an iron monger somewhere• about Stamford -street, Black friars-road, and he made a spurious article, which he sold to some clerks in the bank and others at Is. 6d. These hones were sold as Blewfield's hones, and wrapped up in papers of the same description as those in which the genuine articles were wrapped. Mr. BARSTOW, for the defendant Kell, said, the object of the action was puffery, for which the de fendant ought not to be made to pay. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing. BANKRUPTCY COURT, DEC. 11. BANKRUPTCY OF MR. ESCUDIER, PULTENEY HOTEL. Mr. Escudier, of the Pulteney Hotel, underwent his first examination this day on the fiat of bank ruptcy which has been issued against him. It was stated that the bankrupt, about three years ago, was placed in possession of the Pulteney Hotel by the father of the young lady with whom he at that time formed a matrimonial connection, and the hotel and the furniture, stock, it contained, were settled upon Mr. Escudier by a deed, which the bankrupt executed at that time. Some of the creditors complained that this fact was not known ; but Mr. Escudier, on the other hand, said that it was notorious that the hotel was not his property. The messenger reported, that when he went to take possession of the premises as the bankrupt's property, the trustees of Mrs. Escudier made a claim under the deed executed by the bankrupt on his marriage, and that he found only a few articles belonging to the bankrupt of the value of 6,51, It appeared that the bankrupt's debts amount to up wards of .5,0004, principally upon bills of exchange. Mr. Claridge was appointed assignee, and the meet ing adjourned. A SOLVENT BANKRUPT. A miller of the name of Godfrey, residing at Stoney Stratford, was a few months since declared a bankrupt, but it appeared from his balance sheet, which was exhibited to Mr. Commissioner Williams by Mr. Perkins, the accountant, that the bankrupt had more than sufficient to pay every creditor the full amount of his demands. When the fiat was issued against him, his debts amounted to 3,0101., and to meet which he had good debts due to him to the amount of 1,882/., and freehold and other pro perty to the value of 1,840/., leaving a balance in his favour of upwards of 7001. The creditors were so satisfied with his honourable conduct, that they consented he should keep possession of his furniture instead of selling it by auction. MR. LEECH ' S BANKRUPTCY. Thirty-four shares in the Rock Reversionary and Loan Society which belonged to Mr. Leech, the late proprietor of the London Coffee-house, were sold before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. The shares cost 510/., as the whole amount on them had been paid. They were put up for 1001., and after some competition knocked down for 4001. It appeared that they had been mortgaged by Mr. Leech for their full value. The Lord of the isles steamer, with a rein. forcement of 300 French recruits for Don PEDRO, and which we lately stated bad been obliged to put into Brest for coals, sailed from thence for Oporto on the 4th inst. DISTURBANCES IN YORK. —Some disturb ances took place in this city on Tuesday evening, in the course of which the windows of Mr. LOWTHER'S Com mittee-room were broken, and a " Conservative" or two openly insulted in the street. We are sorry that anything of this kind should have taken place, because we decidedly deprecate everything beyond the violence of words in ),oli tical or electioneering contests.-- York Herald. ANTWERP, Mownav Nowt, DEC. 10. During the afternoon of yesterday, the night and the whole of this morning, a thick fog has prevented the cu rious from observing what takes place outside the walls. The fog has been also very useful to the besiegers, as it enabled them to carry on their works without so much danger as on the preceding nights. The number of casual ties has not equalled that of Saturday night. Among them are to be numbered two French soldiers who are seriously wounded by the bursting of a shell immediately on quitting the mortar. The most extravagant exaggerations are circulated by the correspondents of some Tory papers in London. One of those individuals, who last week ventured into the trenches, when he was arrested by the sentinels and de tained some time (6 hours) in Borgerhout, until liberated on the intervention of the British authorities, being re solved to kill the French on paper, boldly states that 1,600 have been killed or disabled. The tenth of the number is nearer the fact. The French Generals, fearing nothing to demand their army elsewhere, are as economical as possible of the lives of their soldiers. They do not apprehend that the Dutch army, under the Prince of Orange, will come to raise the siege, or to succour the besieged; they therefore take their time, and make such arrangements as will effect their pur pose with the least loss of life. Time is therefore no ob ject ; 'besides, their soldiers are new all housed, which relieves them from much anxie►y on the score of health. The firing of the Dutch has been very sharp during the night, not so much from the certainty of doing injury to the besiegers, as to prevent them from continuing th eir works. There was a rumour circulated this morning, thdt an attempt was made during the night to assault the I Fort St. Laurent, and that the attackers were repulsed ; but this report, I understand from good sources, is not correct, as no assault is to be made until the whole works are well arranged. The Dutch had in all 12 guns yesterday alive, which are said to include three or four opened fresh by embra sures freshly cut in the face of one of the bastions. 1 O'CLOCK. The number of non-military British visitors, who come to see nothing, and who as such expose themselves to ridicule, is on the increase. The firing is now sharp enough. Colonel Caradoc, who went yesterday to Brussels, is ex pected to return to his post this evening. BRUSSELS, MONDAY MORNING. Accounts have reached here which left the headquarters of the besieging army at an advanced hour last night. They bring down the proceedings to a later period, but beyond that they do not differ in character from those which reached yesterday and the day before,—still de scribing the most daring bravery of attack on the one band, and the most determined boldness of defence on the other. The Dutch seem to have made up their minds to obey the sanguinary mandate of their cold •hearted Sovereign to the letter, and to hold out to the last. The fault is not theirs, but a dreadful responsibility will rest on the head of him through whose selfish obstinacy, in holding for a few days' longer a place which his General must eventually eive up, thousands of brave men must be sacrificed at both sides. We now hear no further talk of any bombardment of the city, but still there are many whose fears on the sub ject have not been set at rest, and who think that Chasse, irritated at the prospect of defeat, may signalize the fall of the citadel by the contemporaneous ruin of the city. True, he niay do so, but at present I think it extremely improbable. The firing at and from the citadel yesterday continued without intermission ; but the chief, at least the most de- structive part of the contest, lay in the vicinity of Fort St. Laurent, which the enemy were disputing almost man to man, and foot to foot. This close firing was, of course, productive of corresponding loss on both sides. That Of the French was, I understand, more on yesterday and Saturday than on all the previous days of the siege put together. The engineers and artillery engaged in the advanced works of the besiegers have suffered most. One party of sappers advanced, - I understand, without due caution, so as to bring themselves directly under the fire of one of the batteries of the citadel. The moment they were observed, a discharge of grape came amongst them, 'lad not a man escaped. In a few moments their places were supplied by another party, who advanced with more prudence, but began their work as coolly as if they were employed in digging a pleasure ground. The alacrity and even gayety with which fresh parties of workmen go on to the very bead of the works to take the places of their comrades, whose mangled limbs strew their paths, are, I understand, the astonishment even of those officers who have seen many campaigns, and who have had much ex perience in such thing. The same sang froid is displayed in the trenches ; but there, as yet, the fire has been very slightly injurious. It was expected, when the last accounts came away, that every thing would be ready to carry the Lunette St. Lau rent by about noon this day. The contest on that point will be of a most murderous kind. The following are extracts from the papers of this morning : The King has conferred the first decoration of the Order of Leopold, under the following circumstance In going round the trenches in front of the citadel, his Majesty met a sapper carried on a litter. "My Gene ral," said the brave and unfortunate soldier, with a firm voice, " I have lost a leg and an arm. It was at the head of the sap, where I was at my post." On returning to the Palace the King sent to General Gerard the first decora tion of the Order of Leopold for this brave fellow, accost panied by a sum of money. ANTWERP, DEC., 9, Nom The new batteries in advance of the first parallel have opened their fire, in the night of the Bth, to destroy the masked batteries which shelter the guns of the besieged, and which they saved in the bastions 1 and 2 to oppose the works of the sap and its approaches. Two new batteries were constructed last night to re ceive the 24-pounders, which are 200 metres from the works of the place, and to protect more effectually the beads of the sap, which are in advance to the right of the covered way of bastion No. 2. The beads of the sap are armed with cohorn mortars, with the view of repelling similar mortars of the besieged on our approaches. The fog which was commenced promises a propitious night for our works of approach, and our preparations for the descent on the fosse of the Ludette St. Laurent, and to attack the mine and scarp, and to make a breach. We have placed four mortars on the Lunette Monte bello to counteract those of the besieged, which are esta blished in the bastion No. 2, and which are directed against the Lunette. The cannonade has been very brisk during the night. FRENCH ARMY. BERCHEM, DEC. 9. AFTERNOON. Yesterday, about 5 o'clock, King Leopold visited all the batteries. He was accompanied by General Desprez and several officers of his staff. The fire was on both sides very animated. His Majesty visited the whole of the line, and every where gave proofs, by his judicious obser vations, of his good sense, joined to undaunted courage. He conferred the Order of Leopold on one of our wounded, which decoration, given so apropos, made a lively impres- sion on the soldiers. During the night the fire of the citadel did not diminish, but it has not done much mischief, because the clouded moon did not permit the besieged to direct their fire with the same exactness as on the two nights preced ing. The engineers profiting by this obscurity, acce- lerated their works, and at the same time the artil- lery armed the new batteries, the construction of which I before announced on the second parallel 200 metres from the citadel. These batteries will com mence in the course of the day, and, placed at so short a distance, will produce a grand effect. On the other side we have placed at the heads of our sap four mortars of cohorn to reply to those of the Dutch, who, during the last few days have caused great mischief among our sappers. It was one of those brave fellows, who lost a leg and an arm, to whom King Leopold gave yesterday the decoration of his order. This distinction inspired a lively sensation of ambition among several of our officers. The fire revived furiously this morning, with a very animated discharge of musketry from the Lunette St. Laurent. The defence of the garrison is most obstinate, and although the Dutch lose as many as we do, they dispute every inch. The little fort of St. Laurent is disputed by both par- QUARTER.PAST 4. The King has gone to visit the trenches, accompanied by General Desprez. He dismounted and went to the parallel. At 6, his Majesty returned to the city by the Fort Montebello. The fire of each battery was redooled as the King passed. Soon after, the fire along the whole !i nc ., and in the citadel, became less brisk. S O'CLOCX. The fire of musketry from the ramparts and - from the lunette is very galling to our workmen, who are employed in making a lodging for seventy metres (about seventysix yards English) from the Toledo bastion. The bombs from the enemy do us much mischief. They are gene rally well thrown. An artilleryman of battery No. :3, commanded by the brave Captain Artaud, has had his acne blown off, and the four nen who were serving the same gun were wounded. The name of the brave Montebello, from whom that fort is so called, is a sort of talisman for it. It is perfectly riddled (crible) with bombs. The whole of the demi bastion is torn away. Yesterday two cannon frame and stind were blown to pieces by a shell, but not one of the men were wounded. On another occasion a carriage belonging to the train, brought a large mortar to this bat tery, and while the men were taking it from the carriage, a bomb burst in the midst of them, without wounding either man or horse. Last night passed off like the preceeding, without any particular occurrence. The sappers and miners are con tinually engaged, notwithstanding the sharp fire of the enemy to interrupt them. They have been sometimes obliged to suspend their labours for a few moments, but they resumed after a few moments. The water has been nearly all drawn off from the fosses of the city, and it is hoped that the fosses of the citadel will be drained off at the neap tides. They continue to bring in the wounded to Antwerp. It is only those who are severely wounded that are brought in here; the others are sent to some of the hospitals in the rear. Dkcznumit 9, 10 IN THE MORNING. The fire of the Dutch is increased, and is directed chiefly against the workmen; many of them, particularly the foremost at the sap, have been wounded. II O'CLOCK. The 52d regiment, which has just entered the trenches, has been saluted with a discharge of bombs and bullets, but they happily fell without any effect this time. Noox. The King and his suite have gone out by the gates of Alalines, notwithstanding the danger from shot and shell, which are constantly falling in that direction. 2 O'CLOCK. The fire of the Dutch becomes snore and more destruc tive ; they have re-mounted the 24-pounders in the To ledo bastion, and fire on the road leading to Malines. The Dutch made during the night a small sortie, in which the► were wholly unsuccessful. The French are organizi n g a rifle company in each battalion. 4 O'CLOCK. The discharge of cannon his become relaxed. Some i►nportant event is expected in the course of the night. The defence becomes every hour more and more obstinate. The Dutch defend the approaches to their citadel with great skill and bravery. Another order of the day has been published to the army, in which it again notices the bravery and discipline of the troops in every part of the service. (I do not trans late this, because it is only an officially-condensed repetition of events which have been forwarded to you in detail many days ago.) The following accountt of the operations at the left side of the Scheldt I give on the authority of a private corre spondent in the Independent, a paper whose sources of in formation are very good : BOOM, DFC. 9. You know that the Lunette St. Laurent is turned. The miners have arrived at the breast of the lunette and bastion of Toledo. Last night they commenced the battery destined to batter in breach the bastion of Toledo. They ought to take possession of the place where this battery is to-night, in order to be unmasked to-morrow morning. Immediately before commencing the battery in breach the last summons will be sent by the Marshal to Gencril Chasse. Five regiments (a French regiment of four b ittalions is about 3,750 men) are destined to make the assault, which will probably take place in eight days. DIVISION OF GENERAL SEBASTIANI. BEVEREN, DEC. 8. The head-quarters of the first division is at Calloo these six days. The General, on his arrival, made the necessary dispositions to man and arm Fort St. Marie. The frigate stationed before this fort for the last two years did not op pose us, but, on the contrary, sailed down the river. Thursday, the 6th, at nine o'clock in the morning, the armament of St. Marie, and Fort Perle, in the neighbour. hood, were nearly completed, when a steamboat, a fri gate, and five gun-boats, presented themselves. A Dutch officer landed and summoned the French General to quit the forts within the space of half an hour. A suitable answer was returned, and was followed by a discharge from our artillery, which forced the enemy to retire under the cannon of Liefkenshock. We have not to deplore any loss on our aide, a man only having been wounded. The Dutch vessels were the Eurydice, the Proserpine, and the Comet, with the steam-boat Surinam. The chief fire was from the latter, and was repulsed with vi gour by the Belgian artillery. A bomb tell near the Eurydice, and another fell on the Comet, whose com mander, they say, has been killed. The Dutch have filed on the village of Doel, and we are apprehensive they will burn it. The French soldiers bivouac on the dikes of the Pipe de Tabac, where they have several pieces of cannon to prevent fresh attempts to cut the dikes. They support their fatigues with unaltered gayety; but these fatigues ate increased threefold by the season of the year, encamped in a humid soil, where fire-wood is difficult to be pro cured. The discipline is perfect, and the French army proves that order can be maintained without despotism. ANTWERP, DEc. 9, 3 IN THE AFTERNOON. The great barracks in the citadel no longer exists, even its ruins have ceased to smoke. The following are the details of this event. I was not aware of the facts yester day, for one cannot learn everything at once. The writer here details the particulars, which is given in another place, adding that the shell which took effect in the left wing of the building was fired by Captain Portier, who, finding that the shot took effect, sent se veral others in the same direction, and the whole building was soon in a blaze. This happy-accident was not, however, of any serious consequence to the besieged. Tne barracks not being bomb-proof, was abandoned by the enemy on the coin., inencement, who have been since confined to their c ase , mates. Chasse ought to be satisfied that this fire broke out by day.light, for bad it happened in the night, the consequences might have been dreadful. Nearly the whole of the population of Antwerp went out on tbelines road to see the fire of the barracks ; and although come persona were wounded by bombs falling in that direction , it did not prevent their gratifying their curiosity. NUMBER OF SHOT, Ikc., FIRED IN THE LAST FOUR DAYS. A paper here (the Union) has given some account of the number of shot and shell fired in the last four days. I give it, with a few additional calculations, which may not be without interest. The following calculation of balltts, bombs, and howit.
