GROOT'ZUNDERT, NEAR BREDA, JAN. )4.,--We
are now able to give a more accurate account of
the hattle which took place on the Ilth, It be-
pan at eight in the morning at Woest Wezel,
Imenhout, and Hoogitraten, while the English
'with' 5000 infantry; and 500 cavalry, provided
with artillery, advanced early in the morning from
Itozendaal, where they had arrived the morning
before, taking the great road of Antwerp. 'The
Prussians drove the enemy from all his positions.
The battle v.as particularlsexcrc at Hoogstraten.
The ernmy matte a stand :that evening at Oost
and West \Vale.

BREDA, JAN. 15.---The; day, before yesterday
were brought in here, 100 French f)risoners of
'war, among whom were 42 wounded, and fifty-
four men and seventy-two horses of the regiment
of cavalry of the King of Westphalia, taken at
near-Vento; by Major Colomb, commander
of a Prussian volunteer corps ; they belong. to
the corps of the Duke of Tarentum.
The troops of the Allies are still cantoned at
West Wezel, Loenhout, Hoogstraten, Tilburg,
and Turnhout, with the light Prussian cavalry of
Sydon, and two Regiments of Cossacks, who daily
disturb the enemy up to the gates of Antwerp.—
The English are with their corps at Rosendaal ;
their advanced posts are at lalmhout.
The Prussians, in the hefOre-mentioned battle,
took 450 prisoners, officers and soldiers ; and the
English, who fought With much bravery, took
200 prisoners. It is expected. that operations will
very shortly recommence.
Intelligence has been received here that.ls,ooo
Danish troops, and 8,000 Saxons, are on their
march hither, peace having been concluded with
penmark.

ROTTERDAM, JAN. 20.—The Preliminaries of
Peace have not as yet been made public. although
it is confidently asserted that Norway be en •
tirely ceded to Sweden ; but, on the other hand,
it is.said, the conquered provinces of Holstein and
Sleswick will be restored'lo Denmark.
The late King of Holland is gone froM So-
lothurn to Lausanne, and from thence to France.
BASLE, JAN. B.—There-is mach bustle in our
town, it being continuallyfull of troops. The Prince
of Schwartzenburg and Platow, Gen. Barclay de
Folly,, and a number'of others were at this place,
but have this day left us, and we are now ex-
_
King of Prussia, With their guards, and a great
number of attendants. Our city, as well as the
country, is consequently heavily burthened with
finding them quarters.
We have, indeed, strong reports of Peace, hut
as yet there is no mention made of any place-be-
ing appointed for a Congress.
The Allies are already in Dijon, Langres, Nan-
cy, and Vesoul, and they cannot now be far from
Lyons where they will meet no hindrances to op-
pose them, and above all, the great mass of the.
Allied troops which have already passed, and still
continue to pass through here, is in ninnbers. al-
most incredible.
The head-quarters of Field Marshal Blucher
were, on the 9th inst. at Saarbruck, and the Prus-
sian Brigadier Count liinekel Von DOnnersmarek
had taken possession of Treves with his cavalry.
The intelligence from Italy brings very different
reports, especially concerning the Kin of Naples;
one says that he was to join the Allies with 10,000
men, whilst another states that he is gone to drive
away the Austrian troops which.have advanced to
the right bank of the I'o, as far as Ravenna, and
Forli, as be 117.3 S to march on the 29th to Rimini
and Forli, meanwhile 'the letters front Inspruck
and Bautzen, of the Ist January, in mentioning
the Austrian troops, state that several fine corps
bad marched through the first-mentioned place to
strengthen the:Austrian army in Italy, and that
14 battalions were shortly expected at Botzen.
Some Cossacks had already arrived, but had march-
ed onwards, after having refreshed themselves.

BRIMA, JAN. jr.—We have at present a great
mitnTwr of sick and wounded Tying in the hospi-
tal, among which the greater part are Fi'ench.

Kraft, with several thousand men, has his he'i,d-
quarters at Gennekin, and Ifaaggei, Or.,;terhont,
and Dougna are full of troops.
AMSTERDAM, J. Russian General
Bennicaen, who at present rommantls the siege•of

Hamburg-Ir, on the, 24;h December issued two
Proclainations. By the first of them the Dutch

t.,oops, Who, to the nninher of 2000 men, form a
.part of the garrigan of llamburgh;which consists

iu the whole 414,000 men, are called upon to join

the defenders of the good cause, and which

has'been productive of such good effect that a

considcrable nttrulaer, especially of artillerymen,

j►ave deserted to us.

By the other the General

calls on all the exiled lishilfurghers who, are able
to hear arms to repaie-tolilizi, with a promise that

the punishment of-tbeir tormenters shall be left to

them.

KIEL, JAN. S.---,The hostilities against Den-
mark have commenced, and the troops of 11, It. H.
the Crown Prince of Sweden have taken posses-
sion Of Sleswick and Flinsburg, and are occupied
'in moving forwards the hussars of Weimar from
the vanguard of the Swedish army, awl it is ex-
pected, that the head-quarters, which follow it,
will be removed to Sleswick.
HADERSLEBEN,-JAN. 9.—The whole Duchy of
Sleswick has been ,taken posses-sion of in the
coarse of three days, and in all•directions, by the
light troops under General Tettenborn, after hav-
ing, in conjunction with General Dornberg, so
completely invested the fortress of zZendsburg,
that neither the garrison, nor even the cavalry
belonging to it, could find an opportunity of
making a-sally, for which-orders had been given,
orn account of the scarcity reigning in the town,
and in which case, our neighbourhood would
have been theseene,of a bloody engagement.
BREVIA, 16.—1 t is stated in a private let-
ter from bdare Antwerp, that the city has been
bombarded by c:ongreve's rockets. The Prussians
are towards Brussels., ‘Ve licat' that this morn-
ing, and the following days, about 30,000 Swedes
are to pass through our city.
Dec. 31.—The NVIIOIC division of
Vellum- has received orders to march to-morrow
morning.' The beautiful new cavalry which has
been raised' by the nobility and by the Royal and
Free -States oflitingaaryi •on the mere expression
of the wish of the Sovereign, • has already been
four weeks prepared, and forms 'a very considera-
ble reinforcement to the. Austrian armies.
'HADERSLEREN (DANISH), JAN.'. 9:—Since we
have been left by the Danish troops, and have
been so long in a state oncertainty and anxiety,
we have received the advanced-guard of General
Tettenborn, which marched ',in yesterday ; and
this day. the General himself-has arrived, aid es-
tablished his head-quarters here. These troops
are shortly to march t;) Folding, where severe skir-
mishes had taken place between the Danes and the
Cossaeks. General I)orenberg and Tettenborn
have strictly blockaded Rendsbourg, so that the
garrison can derive no assi?tance from the neigh-
bouring conntry.
,General Tettenhonr -having arranged this
in-
vestment, proceeded by marches northward, to
the fortress of Jutland, detaehing, however adi-
vision of his forces. in the.direction of Rypen and
Tondern. In the space of three days, the whole
of the Dukedom of Schleswig, will be 'in the occu-
pation of the Allies.
In the mean while, in other respects; the course
of affairs have taken a favourable turn.. The
King has dispatched M. Burke, one of his Minis-
ters, who this day passed through here to Schles-
wig to the CrOwn Prince of Sweden, with full
powers to accelerate, as much as possible, the at-
tainment of peace. We have, therefore, the hope
that Denmark alsO, for • the sake of every party,
will join her troops to tbo4e of the Allies, to ter-
minate the present conflict by ;Thiel) Europe is dis-
turbed. •
P. S. We 'just now receive the agreeable news,
that a stop - has been put to the operations of the
tianfeld. vi'e'eXnLt, _therefore, every ~rnoineiit to
receive intelligence of propositions for peace.
BURG, DRC. 29.—This day 30 pieces of heavy
Swedish artillery, with the. caissons belonging to
them, passed through here, •on their way to Ham-
burgh, and is extending itself bySchoneek, It
was joined by 10,000 irregular, and 8000 regular
troops. This day we heals the cannonading from
Magdeburg renewed. We this mollient find- that
10,000 Russians have crossed the Elbe to rein-
force the ranks of Alexander.
BaEmEN,.TAN. 13.—An Adjutant 'of the Crown
Prince of Sweden this afternoon passed through
here, with dispatches to Baron Witmingerode,
General of Cavalry, which say that it was pro-
bable peace with Denmark would be signed- on
the Ilth.
In various papers the following plan of opera-
tion? of the Allies has been published
Under the command of the Crown Prince of
Sweden, 130,000 men are to enter 'Holland in a
line from Kenn!) to the sea. •
General Blucher conammds 115,000 Men near
Coblentz, on the left side of the- Rhine, and he
having established acommunication with the forces
of the Crown Prince, is to proceed in a -direction
-southward. •
.The grand army under Field-Marshal Prince
Schwartzenberg, composed of 250,000 men, hay-
ing, entered France by Switzerland, is to advance
North-west. A great part of this force has al-
ready conformed to this arrangement.
An army of 70,000 .men, under General Belle-
garde, is to maintain the war in Italy. It can-
not long continue, -as. the Italians are impatient
to be freed from the-Conscription and as the
disagreement between Napoleon and the King of
'Naples will soon obstruct any assistance from the
latter to the former. The Viceroys of Italy has
scarcely under his orders 30,000 Mel', Which, by
the junction of Bavaria to the Allies, will be,
hardly pressed on the left wing. •
Another army of 60,000 men is destined to
enter France by Piedmont, with a view to CO-
operate ~with LorA Wellington, who, it is alleged,
has' with him 120,000-men. .To these, adding
125,000 men to be employed in the siege of the
fortresses, the total co-operating force will amount
to 715'„000 men, supposing 125,000 besiegers to
be subtracted from
.the several armies, and not to

constitute separate and independent bodies.
