Whether we are to attribute it to any relaxation in the thing, or to a change of wind, which prevents the sound coming in this direction, we cannot yet tell, but very little of it has been heard since morning. It is known, how ever, that up to a late hour of the night it was going on with unabated vigour at both sides. Chasse had not yet fired on the city, notwithstanding the threat contained in his note of the sth, and it is more than probable that, as the firing on him from the fort Montebello has not relaxed since, and he has borne it without hurting the city, he has thought better of it. Some of the Orangeists here are very angry with him for not having donik so, because that would increare the chances of a war, from which they hope for some lucky turn in favour of the ancien regime. That, however, is now past hoping for; yet nevertheless there is not an hour of the day passes in which some ab surd rumour of the coming in of the Dutch is not cir culated, and believed. It is very probable that they will come, when the Greek calends have arrived, but not sooner. Only the substance of the correspondence between Chasse . and Gerard of the sth instant has yet transpired here. If they were known, it is probable that we should have many here in the greatest alarm, lest Chasse should get angry at the tone of defiance in which he is addressed by the Marshal, and make the city feel the consequence of his anger. It is more than probable, that as he has kept his temper so well hitherto, he will continue to do so,—at least for his own sake, and that of his garrison. The following are extracts from the accounts of this morning. I give them as I find them, without in any degree vouching for them. The papers from which they are taken are generally well-informed.

The estafette from Antwerp is not yet arrived ; but ac counts have reached here, which say, that up to an ad vanced hour this morning, the Lunette St. Laurent was not yet in the occupation of the French troops % and it was said that it probably would not be in 24 hours. Such a resistance from this point was not anticipated, and it has been a delay in the progress ; but the works are going on en regle, and the place will be battered for a breach ; after which, if the resistance should continue, it must be taken by assault. But that will advance only one step ; for. having got the Fort St. Laurent, they must make their approaches in regular order to the fosse and glacis of the citadel, where, of course, a start - nay determinid resistance. must be expected—where, in fact, Chasse will muster all his strength and all his courage, and he has already shown that they are of no ordinary character. No attempt had been made to fire on the city this day, and I repeat the pro bability that none will now be made. The King was to have left Antwerp to-day, and is ex pected to arrive here by 6 o'clock this evening or a little after.—Colonel Caradoc has arrived from Antwerp. The object of his journey hither has not yet transpired.—W. ANTWERP, DEC. 8, SATURDAY EVENING. Independent of the siege and bombardment of the ci tadel, this city now forms an object of great political interest. There are here four remarkable authorities:— Leopold at the head of his army ; Marshal Gerard, the Ge neral-in-Chief of 80,000 French troops, engaged in the assault of the citadel ; the Dutch garrison, under Baron Chasse, who yet resist all tl-eir efforts : and Colonel Ca radoc, who acts in behalf of the British Government. Affairs are necessarily complicated, and might produce some misunderstanding, if the goodwill of the French, British, and Belgian authorities were not sincere. Reports are circulated by the friends of the Dutch Monarch to pro duce, if possible, a disunion amongst them; yet it required hut a fair explanation on all sides to baffle the manoeuvres of these inimical intriguers. The length of the siege, now in the fifth day since the firing of the first cannon on the part of the French, is highly dissatisfactory to them. With the impetuosity of their character, they would, if they could, storm the cita. del at once ; but the Duke of Alba, 250 years ago, and his successor, the King of Holland, have, as far as possible, made arrangements so as to demand time. The season is also unfavourable; yet their efforts are most strenuous to bring this affair to a conclusion. The Belgians are accused of not having done much prior to the arrival of the French ; yet, when their means and the Dutch intrigues to neutralize them are considered, it will be found that they have done a great deal. The King is now in Antwerp, where his presence not only calms the agitation of the inhabitants, but inspires them with the best wishes towards the French. " day was published, in 2 vols.

He says the Dutch made a little sortie of from 12 to 15 men, who began to fire as riflemen. Three of them were killed. It appears that the objects of these trifling sorties is to engage the French in pursuit, so as to bring them within the range of the masked batteries, which, as soon as they approach, would serve them with discharges of grape. Fort Montebello is discharging bombs. This brave battery at length answers to the Dutch, who yesterday nearly covered it with shells. FOURTH DIVISION.

The barracks are now completely a prey to the flames, the besieged having found it impossible to bring the fire under. There is reason to think it has extended to other buildings. BERCHEM, DEC. 8, EVENING. The attack and defense are carried on with a vigour which will render this siege memorable. The night brought with it no relaxation to the besiegers or besieged. The firing continues at both sides without intermission. We have begun to throw up new batteries on the second parallel. The cannon will soon be placed there, and we shall then fire on the citadel from a nearer point. The two teles de sage are urged on in the covered way of the Lunette St. Laurent with a degree of boldness of which the imagination can form no correct notion unless the thing itself is seen. Early this morning we began the descent to the fosse. It will be masked. To-morrow we 4 O'CLOCK (From the Morning Herald.) The French redouble their fire with shells and shot, to prevent the enemy from extinguishing the conflagration. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT UP TO THE STH. (From the Moniteur Beige.) BERCHEM, Head-quarters of Marshal Gerard, SATURDAY NIGHT, 12 O'CLOCK, DEC. 8. Another day has gone by, and the citadel of Antwerp is in the hands of the Dutch. It is of no use blinking the question. The French find it a tougher job than they expected, and the obstinate and headstrong King William is not so easily frightened as my Lord Palmerston was pleased to anticipate. It is now six days since the French opened their batteries against the citadel, and, up to the present hour, they have not gained a single advan cage, with the exception of the taking two sergeant s prisoners. You must be very cautious in believing the various reports afloat; the writers are biassed by party spirit. If you were to credit some of these stories, they would tell you that the loss of the French has not been more than 200 killed and wounded. They forget to men tion the numbers that are buried in the trenches ; for as the men fall a pit is dug, and, sans cere,nonie, they are pepped in and covered over. I cannot safely state the exact loss of the French ; but, if the reports at the head•quar. ters are to be believed, the number of men, hors de combat, is the other side of 1,000. In the hos pital at Antwerp alone there was this morning 44 cases f amputation. Ido not include in the 1,000 the sick ; 'heir number is more considerable. The Dutch must also have lost several men ; but the following paragraph in an Evening Paper caused me to believe the loss of Chasse must be very insignificant, when one boat was able to hold all that were sent out of the citadel :—" Yesterday m , ruing (says the Liberal) a large boat with a black flag •ailed out of the gates of the citadel, and entered the polders, where it disembarked on board a barge several wounded soldiers." Had there been more than one large bred with a black flag, our journals would not have missed mentioning it, particularly the Independent ci-devant Memorial, who has this morning a very curious leading article about the difficulties of taking the citadel, and the impossibility of the Belgian army to have done that which the French find no very easy task. I know not whether the article is . an apology for the entry of the French into Belgium ; but if it is, it is very lame. I think the organ of the defunct Ministry would enlighten the public a great deal more if it would point out to thew the benefits they would derive from the possession of thc citadel; and the next step that will be taken to bring about an equitable peace with Holland. The Fort St. Laurent is not yet taken, nor likely to be taken yet awhile. The Dutch have mounted on it a new battery of mortars, and apparently are only waiting to be attacked from the rear, to give the besiegers a warm recep tion. A handful of men from the fort made a sortie last night, and killed two, and wounded two more of the 58th. The French are changing the direction of their batteries, for the purpose of cutting off the communication between St. Laurent and the citadel. SIEGE OF THE CITADEL OF ANTWERP. DECEMBER 8, 1 1 A.M. The works of the sap, and the approaches to it which are made round the Lunette St. Laurent, were continued during the night, notwithstanding the brightness of the moon-light and the re-mounting of some pieces of cannon, which had much effect on the nearest part of the works. The batteries of the besiegers have kept up a brisk fire during the whole night, to protect the works of the sap. Two new batteries, in the advance of the first parallel, have been raised and armed. The Dutch fired on the workmen from howitzers and grenades, with their little mortars at the cohorn. His Majesty's troop-ship, Atholl, Mr. Harley, master, R.N., having been detained at Spithead by strong contrary winds, sailed on Tuesday, with the Ist West India Regiment for Jamaica. His Majesty's steam-vessel, Carron, Lieut. Duffil, came in on Thursday from Milford Haven, and remains ready for sea. His Majesty's ship Malabar, 76, Capt. Hon. J. Percy, arrived from the Downs on Thursday, and in consequence of the den sity of the fog, and foul wind and tide, was obliged to anchor at St. Helens, whence she came up to Spithead on the following morning. Rumour says she is destined for Lisbon, shall be in a condition to carry this by assault. People have no correct notion of what sort of work sapping is, which is thus carried on quite close to the enemy ; and it is impossible to speak in terms of too great praise of the courage and devotedness of the soldiers of the engineers in the midst of a fire, which, though not so loud as in other parts of the works, is not less sure in its aim. The work of the sap is thus carried on :—Four work men work in a line, one after the other, within sight of the besieged, who can hear the strokes of Preparations are going on for the descent into the fosse of the Lunette St. Laurent. His Majesty's ship Hyacinth, 20, Commodore Oldrey (which arrived last week from the West India station), came into harbour on Sunday, and is ordered to be paid off into ordinary. The Orestes, transport, Lieut. Garratt, agent, sailed on Tuesday for Woolwich and Deptford, with sundry detachments and Government stores. The works of the approaches on the right are pushed near the covered way of the bastion of Toledo. Up to the present hour the loss to the besiegers has been very inconsiderable. After eight days from the opening of the trenches, scarcely 100 men have been put hors de combat. There are besides but very few sick in the French army. (From the Independant, lately the " Memorial Beige.") An order of the day bas been published by General Neigre, General-in-Chief of Artillery, thanking the officers and men of that department of the French army for their extraordinary zeal and unwearied exertions to combat the frightful obstacles which opposed them in the first days of the operations against the citadel; awl expresses the ut most confidence in the resources which he sees he has in operations so well commenced. The order itself is in all the papers, but I have not time to give more than its substance. their pickaxes. The man in advance is protected by a huge gabion, or basket, filled with wool, hay, or cotton. He has another at one side of him, which he is employed in filling with the earth which be throws up. The three others follow the first, who has already cleared the way, and are protected only by the gabions which they are filling with earth. Behind them immediately is a sentinel, who watches for them, his musket to his shoul der, and his eye fixed on the parapet, ready to fire the moment he sees any of the enemy make their appearance. The men, who work. this way in parties of four, with a soldier to each, are relieved every half hour; but this half hour never passes without a shower of balls lodging in the gabions. When a bomb is seen approaching, the cry is raised, " A bomb," on which the workmen throw them selves flat on the earth. When it bursts, such of them as are not hurt rise, and silently go o❑ with their work, against which the citadel fires in vain. I regret that I have not time to give you a less imperfect account of these works, and of the courage and sang froid with which the men look death in the face. They are every instant under the bombs of the cohorn, from which shells are constantly thrown at a very short distance, I may al most say with the hand, from small portable mortars. Besides the work so much advanced against the Lunette St. Laurent, they have begun an opening from the right of the second parallel towards the bastion d'Alba. The progress of this work is very rapid, and we are already very near the covered way of the bastion. There is on this bastion a mortar directed against the workmen, but immediately after its erection a battery of four mortars was raised in the Fort Montebello to silence those of the besieged. I mention these details to give you an idea of the ardour with which the attack is pressed on, and of the bravely and perseverance of the Dutch in their defence. This morning seven Dutch soldiers made a little sortie from the citadel to exchange shots with some of our troops. The whole seven fell by our muskets in a few moments: six of them were killed on the spot, and their bodies re. mained for two hours on the place. The seventh showing signs of life, some of our soldiers advanced under a heavy fire from the ramparts to remove him and send him to the hospital, but lie died on the way. He was decorated with a bronze cross, which the soldiers took from him, and transmitted to the Marshal. The Amphitrite, transport, Lieut. Cooley, agent, arrived on Wednesday from Gravesend, with a detachment of the Ist Royals, under the command of Major Wetherall, which were disembarked on the same day, to wait for conveyance to the West Indies. There has existed, as it is said, within two or three days, a coolness between Marshal Gerard and Colonel Caradoc. The Marshal, who is a brave old soldier, is supposed still to entertain a tinge of the pr.judices of the Imperial army, which could not fail to be embittered by the excessive virulence of the French factious journals, which, without any regard to truth, have represented the British Commissioner in a light the most insulting to the French army. To obviate this feeling, which was en couraged amongst his soldiers, Marshal Gerard, who alone was authorized to attack the citadel, kept the open ing of the trqdthes and the transtnissi9n of the summons as his own secret. A copy of the summons was obtained by some contrivance, and sent on the day of the trans mission for publication to some of the subordinate papers in Paris and elsewhere, even before the Marshal bad sent The Prince Regent, transport, Lieut. Binstead, agent (which has been incorrectly reported to have been at Plymouth last week), sailed on Thursday from the Downs to this port, to receive detachments of the 7th Fusiloers and 94th Regiments for the ➢Mediterranean. After which she will proceed to Ply. mouth, where she will take on board other detachments for the same destination. IPATENT BRANDY.—DECLARATION.

BERCHEM, DEC. 8, HALF PAST 3, AFTERNOON, The attack and defence are still going on with the same fieremess. The Lunette St. Laurent is still in the hands of the Dutch, who have established a battery of mortars there. It appears that Marshal Gerard, fearing this battery was mined, had sprung a counter-mine. This work will not be attacked until all the works on the right are completed to the counterscarp of the city, and when the besiegers shall have an opportunity of driving the enemy from the covered way of the Toledo bastion. The fire of the Dutch this afternoon has been chiefly di rected against Fort Montebello. Although a vast number of bombe have fallen on it, no person up to the present hour has been wounded. it to his Government. Its rapid publication in Brussels on the following day by the same contrivance was looked upon by the Belgian diplomatists who had not received it as a breach of etiquette. Yet, such was the Marshal's anxiety on that score, he actually sent, as it is positively stated, a courier to prevent its first appearance in Paris, except in the Moniteur. The delays in the siege are also painful to him, for they throw, as it were, some doubt on the invincibility of the French army. If, therefore, the decision of the Marshal to respect the city of Antwerp were not fully known, one might be tempted to believe that the wish would in the present case arise of encroaching on Belgian neutrality, or other mea sures might be adopted for insuring success which might lead to awkward results. The Marshal is much beloved by his soldiers ; he almost every day visits every part of the trenches and batteries. Colonel Caradoc is always in them, and has had several very narrow escapes. The Duke of Orleans has pined much popularity fur his cool courage. A brisk and well-supported fire is going on between the enemy and the workmen. The gun-boats, at the first fire from the fort of Burght, changed their positions; one is gone to reinforce the sta tion in the polders, and the unarmed vessels have also joined it, as well as the steam-boat Chasse, which bears the flag of the commandant. N HENRY BRETT, 109, Drury-lane.—N.B. 109. "ov 30 1832 —____ , . The French have erected a new battery of 24—poundera on the road to Wilryck, and placed four mortars before the Fort Montebello. The shots from the fort do little or no mischief. At first the bombs went over the into the Scheldt, now they fall into the fosse before the citadel. The French appear to point well, but they cal culate badly the time the bombs ought to burst; the greater part explode in the air. They continue pushing their works, and it would appear that their great aim is to, attack the bastion Toledo, and there effect their breach. The bastion Toledo is on a live with Fort Montebello, and the nearest to the works on the esplanade. If Chasse in compelled to defend himself vigorously at this point, Liere is no question but the town must suffer, and that consi derably. The French have already advanced in this posi tion to within 80 metres of the bastion Toledo. The men have been in the trenches the whole of the night, and complain much of the cold. A bomb and a howitzer fell on a house in the suburb St. Laurent, but without setting it on fire. The pumps and fire-engines are all ready, and casks of water are placed in different stations in case of necessity. Precau tions are taken to break the ice as it is formed. The amateurs who came to witness the taking of the citadel are beginning to quit us. They think it too long to wait. The greater part of them thought the affair would be finished in two or three days. These gentlemen went first to the theatre, from the top of which they could have a view for the sum of is. 3d. British. This price will be doubled when they batter in breach ; and when the assault commences it will be raised to five francs,-or 4s. English. The contrast between the King of Holland and General Chasse, who now defends the citadel, is as disparaging to the former as advantageous to the latter. The former, who has so evidently shown his ignorance of governing the Belgians, and whose personal obstinacy is notorious, is and has been jealous of his own son. Some of the Belgians, before the election of Leopold, would have been pleased to have the latter, but his father refused. Now, rather than allow that son to make peace, or to move his army forward, the old King wishes to sacrifice Chasse and the garrison, as he has deceived the Dutch people for his own private ends. But it is expected that the Dutch will soon see their mistake. The damage done to the citadel is very great; this evening the large barrack has been burnt to the ground. I saw it blazing after dusk, when it presented a grand spectacle. The cannons and ROYAL MARINES.—First Lieutenant E. Nepean is ap pointed to his Majesty's ship San Josef, at Plymouth.—First Lieutenant E. Bathurst is appointed to his Majesty's ship Druid, at this port.—Lieutenant and Quartermaster G. B.

In about half an hour an immense cloud of black smoke which rose from it showed that this time the efforis of the besieged to extinguish the flames had not been successful. Soon after, the fire raged with such violence that, notwithstanding the brightness of the day, the flames could he seen at a considerable distance. 4 O'CLOCK. This afternoon the barracks of the citadel caught fire, and the fl sores were seen to issue from most of the win dows. Notwithstanding the spreading of this destructive element the Dutch stood to their guns, and continued firing on the besiegers. The barrack is a very light build ing, and a conspicuous mark for the French artillerymen. I have not heard that any serious damage was done, al ti,ough some of our Papers talk of explosions and blow ings up. Now that we are much nearer the glacis, the fire becomes more destructive. In the course of yesterday we had 34 wounded, who were brought here, three of whom are since dead. Last night there were 35 killed and wounded. Amongst the latter there are 15 severely. As there has arrived at the head-quarters a battery of siege, not mounted, orders have been given to erect during the night two new batteries—one of mortars, and the other 0f24-pounders. The last are to be much nearer the citadel than the others. Between the Bth and 9th the command of the trenches will be under General Zoeppel, the Colonel of the 18th of the Line, and two Majors of the same regiment. Tte citadel is altogether enveloped in smoke, which is increased by the discharges of cannon and mortars and musketry of the besieged, which are not at all slackened by this new plague of war. The fire is redoubled from our batteries, in order to increase the disorder which the con flagration must create amongst the enemy. In the midst lif this terrific uproar, the sappers, of whom I have spoken above, coolly continue their labours, not at all anxious about the citadel, except for the burning of its buildings. Things are in that state, that on the one hand I expect almost every moment to be able to announce to you our occupation of the Lunette St. Laurent, and on the other, that our engineers and artillery have made such progress in their respective works, that we shall soon urge our at tack on the body of the place. All this of course cannot have been done without loss and much fatigue. The skill and prudence of the attack, and the resolute character of the defence, cannot fail to render this siege a memorable one. placed on the reserve half-pay list. We hear that it is in contemplation to embark a Field- Officer of Royal Marines with every Commander-in-C hief on certain foreign stations for the future, and we believe the ar rangement will commence with the new Commanders-in-Chief about to proceed on the West India and South American stations. mortars on both sides - have not been idle; and in particu• lar the small cohorn mortars on the Dutch side. There have been several of the heavy Dutch cannon dismounted; they are not, therefore, much used now. Thomas Triphook, Esq., late Secretary to Sir C. Paget, and previously to Admiral Sir G. Martin, is named in the Naval circles as likely to hold the same responsible situation under Sir T. Williams, at Plymouth, in May next. In former papers we have made mention of some interesting experiments on the comparative durability of Riga fir and Scotch larch. As a practical test of their qualities, Govern ment ordered the Niemen to be built of Riga, and the Atholl of larch. The Niemen has been broken up several years since, on account of her decayed state; but the Atholl was thought fit to go for another three years' station. On her return, how ever, she was surveyed by the Dock-yard authorities here, and was reported to be unfit for service. This report did not satisfy the admirers of larch, and the Atholl was accordingly ordered round to the eastward to be there re-surveyed. The result of this second survey was that she was pronounced fit for another repair. We find some are still sceptical, notwith standing this experiment, of the durability of larch over Riga. Be this as it may, larch, we should suppose, is altogether inap plicable to general purposes in ship-building, on account of its small scantling. It is said that the French have undermined Fort Laurent, which they are ready to blow up when orders are given. Some delay was caused last night and to-day by the sappers, who have worked for some hours in a wrong direction. The garrison continues to annoy the workmen by rampart guns, hand grenades, and howitzer shells. The want of wine or spirits for the French troops has been remedied. In this cold weather the soldiers who labour in the earth require some stimulant, which has been amply provided. BEVEREN, DEC. 7. The Dutch having attempted a descent yesterday on the side of Calloo, General Sebastiani took measures to prevent them. The fleet has descended towards Lillo. The courage and patience of the French soldiers are truly admirable. Encamped on the dikes between Beveren and Calloo, they passed the last night without fire, or straw to lie upon. This morning they made requisitions of straw and of wood at the several small villages of the neigh bourhood. Since the date of Chasse's third letter of the sth instant, no vessel is allowed to come up the Scheldt towards the citadel, and Chasse can communicate with his Govern ment only by signals transmitted to the frigates and gun-. boats. The character of the siege is thus drawn by the French staff. It must be allowed that the adversaries of the ANTWERP, DEC. 7, 2 O'CLOCK, AFTERNOON. The fire of the batteries increases ; that of the Dutch is chiefly directed against Fort Montebello. On the other hand, the batteries 1,3, and 4, do not relax their fire against the citadel. At this moment we perceive the cita del on fire at three places in the large barracks. The flag -taff has caught fire, and it appears the Dutch take no pains to extinguish it. We are assured the French have cut off the communications between the citadel and Fort St. Laurent. It is expected the latter will be taken this evening. Bombs and bullets are constantly falling on the road leading from Antwerp to Brussels, and many persons have been wounded. ACCOUNT OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE French soldiers defend themselves V courageously ; their artillery is certainly not so badly served as was first stated ; the soldiers are brave, and the officers instructed. The taking of the citadel at this season most unfdvour- able to operations and on the strongest side of the gar rison, and on a side which rests on two advanced works, one of which (that of Kiel) can only be attacked on the left, will, on the whole, form a magnificent feat of arms.

( i a ** Old Furniture taken in exchange' The experiment of hauling up the Grampus, at Deptford, has entirely failed, after four trials. The ship is now stranded on her beam ends, and remains a complete wreck, having started the butts and opened the seams of the bottom plank added to which, the sternposts separated from the body of the vessel. She is advertised for sale. We understand, if the experiment had succeeded, it was in contemplation to have hauled up the whole of the ships in ordinary at the different ports, and to have stowed them away in tiers, to be launched as occasion might require—a project, in our opinion, easier said than done. . By a recent regulation, the crews of Dock.yard vessels will in future receive fourpence.halfpenny a day in lieu of cocoa, tea, and spirits.

INVISIBILITY.—The expression "I wish I were invisible" has escaped the lips of probably more than half the human race, under a vast variety of circum stances. All have prefigured the advantages of a state of invisibility but none have ever calculated on its adverse casualties. This is the novel and extraordinary theme which has just occupied the ingenious author of " Chartley the Fatalist," in bin new novel, called " The Invisible Gen ie man.' We are continually hearing cannon from the other side of the Scheldt. It is from the division of Sebastiani. The fosses of the town are almost dry to-day. To guard against exaggeration with respect to the loss suffered by the besiegers, I must say, that up to the pre sent day, thanks to the prudence of the superior officers, the total does not exceed 200. SIEGE OF THE CITADEL. ANTWERP, DEC. 7, AFTERNOON. The fire has broken out for the seventh time in the left wing of the large barracks. An explosion has taken place, which appears to proceed from a waggon contain ing shells. The Fort Montebello received orders to establish plat forms for six mortars. Belgians are employed in this service. A ‘vell-supported fire from muskets and grenades from the ramparts have forced the workmen of the counter garde to cease from their labours for the moment. 6 o'cLocK. The bombs, we p erce i ve , are, f or t h e greater part , di rected towards Fort Montebello. 11 O'CLOCK, IshonT.. The Dutch hav e commence d play i ng on the batteries of the centre p ara ll e l , f rom a battery of mortars which they have established on the Lunette St. Laurent. 2 O'CLOCK IN TIIE MORNING. A strong firing of muskets is engaged between the sol diers placed in the trench of the counter-garde and the Dutch in the curtain of the bastion of Toledo. The night ha, paused without any event of importance. The di- NIGHT OF THE 6TH AND 7TH. In the night of the 6th and 7th a new battery of mor tars, E, was erected near the second parallel, in advance of and between the batteries No. 2 and 3. The guns of this battery will be brought from the battery A, which has been considered too distant to be effective for the proposed object—that of throwing shells into the battery of the citadel called the Toledo, being a principal point of attack as well as the crescents 2 and 5. The battery E was finished this evening, and armed with four mortars of 28 centimetres. These will begin to fire to-day. During the night a great many embrasures of batteries, of which the first fire had silenced those opposed to them, were directed against the bastion of Toledo. During the 7th a new battery of mortars was erected in the Lunette Montebello, and four mortars have been carried thither, in tended to act with the battery E, and to throw projectiles into the bastions 1 and 2. These works have been com pleted to-day. The firing from both sides ie kept up as before, except It is stated that the besiegers have opened a sluice, which at low water will empty the ditch of the citade', and thereby facilitate the attack. The Dutch are in the journals said to have made yes terday evening some sorties to blow up the dike near Alelkhuyse. I have been assured that this statement is incorrect ; they did not leave the citadel. SUNDAY 111mtNiNu. The siege now assumes the appearance of an ordinary one. The firing continued during the night with some little intermission. The weather has again turned to haz and small rain. The firing has been rather sharp since day-break. The number of killed and wounded last night does not amount to that of yesterday. The King, Leopold, has visited all parts of the city, and went yesterday to the French head quarters. He ascended the spire of one of the churches, and examined the plan of :the operations. Meeting one of the wounded, his Majesty stopped and inquired what happened. " I am," said the soldier, with a firm voice, " a sapper ; I was in my place at the bead of the sap. 1 have lost my leg, and my arm has followed it—God knows where." This morn- •V • A. 1.41 , 10 • •• ing the King sent him the Cross of the Order of Leopold, and 100 francs as a present. 12 o'cLocx. The Kin ia about to tike hie departure for Brussels. - There has been a great deal said about the want of en thusiasm among the soldiers in the citadel—l believe the greatest sceptics must now change their opinion. The Dutch are defending themselves with cool and determined resolution. A second Dutch sergeant has been taken pri soner, and was interrogated by a French officer. He says Chasse is not dead, that he is not the least in low spirits ; he feels certain of success, and prophecies that he shall pass many days of the year 1833 in the citadel ; that the veteran in the morning inspected the ramparts, and re mained for some time at the centre-guard uncovered with a telescope in his hand, watching the operations of the French. He describes the means of defence as far beyond any conception. Being questioned as to the disposition at the men, he said they were determined, officers and men, to stand by their commander to the last, and to fall with him, if necessary. The poor remaining inhabitants of Antwerp arc curs ing and fuming at the unskilfulness of the French artillery men. No less than 30 shots were carried this afternoon to the Regency, and deposited, I suppose, among the ar chives of the city. I have now more reason than ever for supposing that Chasse will not fire on the city. Th e French have become more complaisant. The neutral te legraph, on the top of Antwerp Cathedral, has been taken down, it being offensive in the eyes of Chasse. About 4 o'clock the firing nearly ceased on both sid e s ; at 9 o'clock only a shot now and then was to be heard from the ramparts of the citadel. The latest accounts from Sebastiani are dated Stint Ni cholas, December 8. It would appear that since the day tiefore yesterday there had been no more fighting between the Dutch flotilla and the French troops which occupy the dikes and forts of Calloo. The last cannonading did little mischief to Fort St. Marie, the Dutch frigate and sloop be. ing at too great a distance. The following accaunts have been received from Doel, dated the ith bombard e d t h e illage of Duel. principally th e ~s Y e e v s e t r e a r day the lhou ses, Dte a u nd li church, were much damaged." All the Dutch men of war have sailed for the lower pat t of the river. The Eurydice and a few gun-boats ate the only vessels that remain in the roadstead of Lillu. All the remainder, namely—the Zeenoo, Cotnetes Prosetpinc, Meduse, and Dolphyn are all out of sight. Head-quarter s of Marshal Gerard, SUNDAY, 2 O'CLOCK, DeC. 9. About 4 o'clock this morning the firing became very brisk, but relaxed about 9. At half past 10 the D itch at tacked the battery Na. 3, and dismounted the greater part of the guns.
