Weidevard froin Delfzyl 'with 200 infantry. The
Prussian troops laying at Bonseveer, Oster!own,
• and 4-Evakcs, hearing the intelligenEe, marched
out under the command of Captain of cavalry Van

Prussians ,in think. The Prussians were rein-
forced by 40 Dnt"h volunteers,' and amounted in

enemy was to plunder the neighbouring villages.
HARDENBURG, DEc.2B.—The day hefore yes-
terday for 'lbis and the neighbouring place's was
very melancholy and .destructiVe. The 'French
garrison from Koevender, nine miles from hence,
made 'a sally with a considerable force to the
neighbourhood of, our city,' which produced the
greatest cemluaion,. all persons endeavoining to
pack wp their goods and put them on hoard boats
and in waggons. The enemy was detained about
two miles off by the Cossacks, the burghers and
the 'peasants, but he overcame them, and proceed-
rt.—
( c d'-Oriv eiy thing, as well as 'this place, when
they rifled our chests, our drawers, and stole
our clocks, and all'the household•goods that were
valuable.
DORDRECHT, JAN. 3.—Accounts from Gorcum
state, that the French have taken away froM the
Burghers all their arms; and have removed from
their ranks all the Dutch, Germans, and'Brabari-
cons, • The enemy are not yet iu.want of provl-
sions. Foiirteen of our gun-boats lay near Got-
cum, and have taken howitzers on board; and on
'J.lmrsday night threW two shells into the town,
to shew them what they might expect, and .as. a
warning to the'garrison. On the :30th December
some artillery arrived here, in its way from the
Hague to,Bteda.
BREDA, JAN. 4.—Yesterday morning, news was
received here that the French army, by a move-
tn;ilt in advance, had overpowered and dOven
in our advanced posts, which had been corn-
pelled to leave Meersel, Meerlo, and Meer. Ac-
cording to report, we learn, that his infantry was
very strong, that it was.detained again at' Breda,
and that he meant tot attack us in our strong 0-
lm an affray with the enemy, at Meer,
six Cossacks were taken and: one wounded. The
enemy has, however, -again retired to his posi-
tion at West Wesel and Haass-trade. Zundert
was yesterday taken possesSion of by 900 Prussian
Chasslnrs:

The corps 'of General Krefft is 5000 men, with
a position at Aysterhaut, and about 1000 men at
Tetteringen. Our garrison itself is more th-an
5000 strong, consisting of English, French, and
Prussians, and all'preparations are made to receive
the enemy properly should he make another .at-
tempt.
PAPENDRECHT, JAN. 4.—We are nu longer. in
any fear of sallies from the garrison of Gorcum,
as the enemy is so'completely surrounded, and` for
a long while he has bad no communication with
the neighbouring country. The inundation oC-..
casioned b'y' the enemy is to a small extent, and all
accessible points are provided with Troops. :Wood
and forage are daily sent to the army.
BREMEN, JAN. I.—lt is imagined that peace
will-soon be concluded with Denmark, and that
the Prince Royal, with from 25 to 30,000 Swedes,
and from 15 to 20,000 other troops,' will then
proceed' to Holland. •
For the siege of Ilamburgli, General Bennig-
sen will remain on the right bank of. the 'Elbe
with 45_ or 50,000 men, and General Tinelman,
with 20;01)0 Saxons, on the left bank. The last
is posted. neat, Harburg, and the former has-ar-
rived at Bille, but the artillery is not yet cosine
up. It shoidd seem that the plan of the Allies, is
to stortu'llambargh.
'GOES, DEC. 30.—We have here now a garri-
son of about 1000 English troops. The. French
