wider Busnaparle, although cuitmlimliug the second divi•
sion in this district, is always walking the streets in plait
clothes, nor has he ever been in military clothing since th,
commencement of hostilities. He applied some days sing
for a command—it was promised ; bttt the order ha
rot yet arrived. There tut.ts htt soiiie reason.
In the nrY.hlinktrhouti of the left kink of the Scheldt
and Ghent the armies are almost in a state of arm'stice—
slight skirmishes, but of no moment. Attention is turned
only to the armies of the Scheldt &ild

BRUSSELS, Auc. 9.

The following I believe to be the exact position of the
two coils or the Dutch army. They occupy the left hank
of the river Getty, and the villages and tee:ns cf Gott.,
Deett, Selk, yelper, Bet, I,ean, and Duras.
The BelOana -,-:,tr.:essi,n of the oppo,ite bank of tilt
rivet, t.srid -Waelen and Werk, with an open communication
with Tirlemont, St. Trend, and Tongre..
There are several Prussians among the prisoners taken
by the Belgians.
According to a report of General Yanderlileer, Com-
mander of the o.d diti,loh, and OnVeyndr of Liege, there
has 17en wine Sharp fighting hear ilechteren. Tl!e Bel
giana say they have taken thrt.e cannon's, a nag, a Colonel,
and several p'risoners'. the General concludeeby stating
that, accord cg to 'private letters, the number of prisoners
are upwards of 3,000. This requires confirmation, and is
not credited. .

Antwerp is, as I informed you this morning,. perfectly
tranquil, and Commissioners are occupied in tracing the
limits to be observed bet.Wreen the citadel and the city.
Thus r.re 'Lay conclude the armistice is likely to be per-
manent, and this fine city saved.
The people here are not astonished at. the insurrection
in Java. They say they had long expected it ; and that
emissaries were sent over for the purpose of exciting the
troops to revolt, three fifths of whop► are 13elgians. Al-
ready streral young men have vo'unteered to go to the
colonies. _ .

The Moniteur Beige, in en article of this evening,
says that a junction has been formed between the armies
of the Scheldt and the Meuse. I attach little credit to
this information. I only left the army of the Scheldt my-
self yesterthy evening at eight o'clock, and then it was not
even positively known where the army of the Meuse was;
besides, from the position in the engagement with General
Georges it is almost impossible they could have, even by
famed marches, obtained this desirable object.
Sir Robert Adair arrived at half-past two o'clock.
Tuesday, half-past Seven.
It is just stated that• General Chasse has declared the re-
newal of hostilities at Antwerp this night at eleven o'ch,ek.
Tuesday, Ten o'c'ock.
DEFEAT OF THE ARMY OF THE MEUSE,
COMMANDED BY GENERAL DAINE.

We are in great consternation. It is official that Chaps,
has received orders from the Hague to renew hostilities,
the King I f Holland declining to sanction the armistice as
hid down by General Belliad. Yet the General declares.
so long as Antwerp does not molest the citadel, he will
not bombard it.—This, 1 am afraid, is only a ruse, and
that the next account we shall have will be his possession of
the city by a coup dc main. This would have been bad
news enough, but, to add to the misfortune, General
Wire, with the army of the Meuse, has been beaten, it is
said only slightly, but I am informed it is almost a
total defeat The French have entered Belgium, and
are on this side of Mons. The conduct of Sir
C'. Bagot is freely canvassed, and great blame is im•
puted to him for keeping the British Government igno-
rant of the Dutch movements. I have seen a letter from
Aix-la-Chapelle. The Prussians are there in considerable
numbers. The accounts from Berlin are also of a warlike
nature. The conduct of General Daine has been for some
time a subject of discussion, and serious hints have been
thrown out as to his attachment to Leopold. lam afraid
this defeat will not lessen the suspicion. Several officers
of high rank have been arrested.
I shall go to-morrow harming to the head-quarters of
the King.
Six waggons of wounded soldiers have just entered the
city. There were aLout 150 of the most miserable crea-
tures in them.
