Dispatches, of which the following are copies, were received last
night from General Sir I'—Graham, K. B.
Head-quarters, Calmnitont, March 10,1814,
M LORD—Tt becomes my painfill task to your Lordship, that
in attack on Bergen-op-Zoom, which seemed at first to promise
complete success, ended its failure, and occasioned a severe loss to
the Ist division, and to B. i!..f.-Gen. Gore's brigade.
It is unnecessary for me to state the reasons which determined me
to make the attempt to carry such a place by storm, sitace the suc-
cess of two of time columns, in establishing themselves on the ram-
parts, with very trifling loss, must justify my having incurred the
risk for the attainment of so important an object, as tke capture of
such a fortress.

The troops employed were formed is four columns as per margin.*
No. 1, the left column, attacked hoween the Antwerp and Water
Pert Gates. No, Cl attacked to the right el the New Gate. No. :;
was destined only to draw the attention by a false attack near the
Steenbergen Gate, and to be afterwards applicable according to cir-
cumstances. No. 4, right column, attacked at the entrance of the
harbour, which tumid be forded at low water, and the hour was fixed
accordingly at half past ten p. in. of the Bth instant.
Major-Gen. Cooke neco:opanied the left column. Major-Gen.
Skerrett and llrig.-Gen. Gore both accompanied the right column
this was the first which furred its way into the hody of the place.
These two entuntsis were dlreeted t,) move ~longst lie rampart so as to
form a junction iv: sou!' as possible, and then 141 proceed to clear the.
rampart and assist the centre column or to force open the Antwerp
Gate.

An unexpected difficulty about passing the ditch nn the ire
baying obliged Major-Gen. Co:ike to change the point of attack, n
considerable delay ensiled, and that colunni did not gain the rainpiti
till half-past eleven.

Meanwhile the lamented fall of Wig.-Gem Gore, and
the Hon. George Carleton, and the dangerous wound of Major-Gen.
Skerrett, depriving the right column of their able direction, it Ml
into disorder, and suffered great loss in killed, wounded, and pri-
soners. The centre column having been forced back with consider-
ab:c loss by the heavy fire of the place (Lietit.-Col. A!orrice, its
commander, and Lieut.-Col. tlphinstone, commanding the 3:31
gimerit, being both wounded), was re-formed under Major Myttle-
tolry, marched round and joined Major-Gen. coke, lea% ing the left
ing of the 351 h, to remove the wounded from the glacis. However,
the guards too had suffizred very severely during the night, by the
galling fire from the houses on their position, amyl by the loss of the
detachment of the Ist guards, which, having been sent to endeavour
to assist Lieut.-Col. Carleton, and to secure the Antwerp Gate, was
cut off, after the most gallant resistanee, which cost the lives of many
most valuable Officers.

At daybreak the enemy having tnrneil the mans of the plare,
opened their fire against the troops on the unprotected rampart, anti
