O: FILIAL BULLETIN.

" GRONINGE'O7, DEC. 18.—Last Friday
,the
French made a sortie froin Coeverden, and march-
ed upon-Dalin. The Mayor, on this alarni, or-
dered the bells to be rung, and in a nionient every
volunteer was under arms, and a corps was form-
ed. Those who could not procure arms, pro •
vidcd themselves with,fork§ and other agricultural
weapons. The inhabitants were supported by
about 50 Cossacks, who slew two Frenchmen and

took many prisoners, among whom is a Lieute-
nant. The French sought refuge in flight, but
returned the following day. On this occasion we
were assisted by the Mayor of Sachelo, wit° sent
some people to augment our numbers, and then
returned to the charge with the Cossacks, and the
conflict was more severe than the former, the
French having concealed themselves•between the

houses and behind the walls.' By several discharges
from the high situations, some Cossacks and.pea-
santry were wounded ; but at mid-day the French,
with great loss, were compelled to abandon their
ground. A third attempt was made on Sunday,
hut the enemy was defeated, and many of the
French deserted. After these disappointments,
he was not discouraged, and on the morning of
the 13th, 300 Frenchmen approached us with two
pieces of artillery. This fourth enterprise was to 6
successful. By the Cossacks and citizens they
were kept off until three o'clock, but in the se-
quel,they advanced, and some corn-mills of Da-
lin, with several farm-houpes, were burnt to the,.
ground."

FRANKFORT, DEC. 7.—On the 3d instant .the
allied troops passed the Rhine at the same mb-
ment, at Oppenheini, ilianbeim, and another pOint
further up the river. Half the army must be al-
ready to the opposite bank. - The , troops here
began to march off yesterday ; fresh troops, how-
ever, arrive daily ; and it is reported-that an Au-
strian army of reserve, consisting of 130,000-men,
is in march for the Rhine. The Prince of
Schwartzenberg left this place with his suite at
nine o'clock this morning. His Majesty the Em-
peror of Russia transfers his head-quarters, in the
first instance, to Manheini. General Blacher,
whOse head-quarters are at HOcht, remains in our
neighbourhood. -From 20 to 25,0Q0 Hessians and
and Hanoverians are to join him. , A deputation
front Switzerland has been here these . four clays.
It is looked upon as certain, that the Swiss have
joined the allies, and that•they will attack Prance
' on their side, at the same time that it is invaded
4 from other quarters.
BREMEN, DEC. 12.—8 y the commencement of
the new year, five Gernian armies, of 80,000 men
each, will have taken the field. The Duchy of
Brunswick alone furnishes a quota. of 8000. The
counties of Teklenburgh and Lingen, have been
occupied in the name of his Prussian Majesty, and
the former Prussian fimetionaries have been rein-
stated. On the other hand, the Principality of
Osnaburgh, and the county of Rentaim have been
, taken possession of by Commissioners from the
Hanoverian Regency, who have appointed a Pro-
visional Board of Government. •
UTRECHT,- Dac. 27.—The defence of- Breda
cost us about 40 men, killed and wounded.- ',The.
loss of the enemy must have been very, consider-
able, from the number of waggons which they
. put in requisition to carry ,off their killed, as well
as their wounded.. Our Prince Sovereign has, is-
'filled a Decree, by virtue of which the. inhabitants
of the United Netherlands are entNed,, as in old
times, to pass and repass through-all parts of our
territory without passports, or being subject to_
detention by a civil or military power, with two
exceptions only, viz.. where they have occasion to
approach the Southern frontier, or any place oc'•
cupied by the enemy, and blockaded by the Allies.
GRokTINGEN, DEC. 20.--The garrison of Delf-
zyl made several sallies in the course of last week,
which occasioned some skirmishes between 'them
and' the ' besiegers, in which a - number were
wounded on both sides. The operations against
the place are much impeded by the Muddy nature
of the soil ; but
,as soon as a further supply of
artillery and ammunition arrives, we may expect
to see the Orange flag wave upon Delfzyl. It is
reported that the English vessels
.in the Ems arc
to attack it with Con,greve rockets.
ARNHEIM, DEC. 25.—1 t is rumoured that a
corps of from 12 to 14,000 .men, of the army,
under the immediate command of the Crown
-ri;,,......., brulraa up c.n the lat h cm -their march for
Holland. It is
.positively stated, that -a very con-
siderable body of Cossacks have marched in the
direction of Emmerik, with the intention of pass-
ing the Rhine at that point.
ROTTERDAM, DEC. 21.—0 n Saturday, at noon,
Sir Godfrey Webster arrived here from England,
in his pleasure boat,.,and saluted the town: with
21 guns. This joyous cannonade attracted a mul-
titude of men towards the side of the Maeze; who
then with unbounded transports of joy saw the
first English flag entwined with the Orange enter
our harbour, and who followed the Baronet %vith
unceasing huzzas, as be'proceeded in his barge to
the Hotel of the Marshal de -Turegne. -
