DUTCH I'APtIIB.

ROS7SDAALi MARC ft 10.,---(in Tuesday morn-
ing, at 10 o'clockj, about 3000 English troops
broke up- from bende and the places adjac'ent, fur-
,nished, it was understood, with storming ladders,
and other preparations for an attack ; but the ob-
ject of their destination was kept a secret. We
have since learned, that on the above -day they
marched to Halteren, between Steeuhergen and
Bergen-op-Zoom, and on the 'following night
executed a well-planned, bat in its result, a very
unfortunate atrack. upon Bergen-4-ZoOm.

. About eleven at night a thousand of the troops
approached the fortress with the greatest 'still-
ness, and having, it appears, successfully crossed
the ditches, they climbed the walls,. and pene-
trated into the town. In the mean time the rest
approached the gate, and seeing it open, they
thought they could enter in safety. The enemy,
however, who had probably made use of the
same spies who 'had 'served the English,
.were
previously aware of the whole, and had taken
their :measures in consequence.. Their garrison
was in -readiness to attack on all sides the Eng-
liqh troops- who had got over the walls, while, at
'the same time, with cannon • placed in the 'cross
streets, they opened a fire of grape-shot on the
'
troops that bad entered. the gate. The contest.
was continued for a considerable within the
town,, with • desperate valour, but with unequal
tneans and at last both the troops which had
scaled the walls, and those which entered by the
gate, were compelled. to retreat,- with very consi-
derable loss in killed, wounded,' and prisoners.—
With real sorrow,, we have seen return here a
part of the English troops, who by their excel-
lent conduel had gained all hearts, and lament se-
verely the horrible treachery of which they have
been the victims.

BREDA, 14Ann 10.—The day before yesterday
the English made .an unsuccessful :attack upon
Bergen7op-Zuom, which cost them about 1,500
men in killed and wounded ;' among the killed is
a General, and among the wounded another Ge,-
neral and several Colonels. It is said, that a plan
of the French has been discovered, to. form a junc-
tion out 'of -Walcheren and Batz, with the gar-
rison of Bergen-op-Zoom, and afterwards, at the
same time with the garrison from Antwerp, to make
an attack on the English lines, which stretch from
Breskaat to the Scheldt. The Dutch are now
Footed at Zandvlict and Ossendrecbt.
DORT, MARCH 11.—The day before yesterday
entered .here 400 Germans of the regiment of
Orange Nassau, which came over from the French
at Bayonne, and landed in transports fiom Eng-
land. They have been marched to Bois•le-duc.

The Dutch papers contain three Official Reports,
dated fro►u the head-quarters of the Grand Allied

Army.
The first report is dated Troyes, Feb. 22.—
After mentioning the various affairs in, which
Marshal Blucher's army was engaged from the 10th
_ - -InJ eaas,ifig
far, was attained ; and not to endanger Himself
farther by separate battles with a great superio-
rity of force, he retired towards his old position
at Chalons, where he again formed a junction with
the corps of Yorck and Sacken.

" In the mean time, the Grand Army, which
by its position at Troyes was • in, possession
of the Upper Seine, by means of two ad-
vanced corps, made it itself master of all the
points for crossing the Seine, from Mery to
'Montereau, and even posted some. detachments
on the right bank of the Seine, to observe the
enemy, and, on their advance, retire upon the
main army at Troyes. These corps spread them-
selves be.tween Fontainbleatt and Melon. Ne-
mours was taken by Count Platoff, after an ob-
stinate fight,. in which about 1,000 prisoners were
taken.

",These movements had their effect. The ene-
my, who, with his main force, was pushing the
Silesian army, became alarmed for his right wing,
and his communication with the capital .; and this
compelled him quickly .to leave the banks of the
Marne, ant'. approach in all haste the Seine."
The report then details the affairs at Nangis and
Montereau, in consequence of which the Grand
Army retired, and proceeds thus :
." With the view .of frustrating the object pt
the enemy, which was to fall upon separate corps
with an overwhelming force, Prince Schwan-
zenberg-ordered Marshal BlOcher, who bad unit-
ed his corps at Chalons, again, to come into ac-.-
tion, and with his army to move back upon Ar-
cis-sur-Aube, and thence upon Mery ; while at
tie same time the Grand Army was assembled at
Troyes, there to cross over t.o the right bank of
the Seine."
