softie way or Other, have been disposed of so a 7, to
afford an accession of Strength to, BuoNarAnTE,
but in. the former the toils of a long siege. are
Amply 'compensated by the itnportance und valise
Of the acquisition.. ' And the importance andvalue
of these cOtignests art 'hardly bp over-rated in the
evisting,- state of affairs. Should negociations take
• .
place, every capture takes from the enemy
a portion 'ot those exchangeable commcdj»
tie; wherewith • peace is purchased ; and in
the more probable event of the continuance;
of. the war for another campaign, the powerful
bodies released frOni the blockades and sieges of
these fortresses inuSt be of ess'eutial service in re-
inforcing the armies in the field. By the fall of
Dantzig alOne, a cOrps of nearly 30,-000.4fective
soldiers will be added to the allied forces upOn
the indite ; and it appears that already had
forage, &c. been ordered to be. provided front
Berlin for the supply of these troops, whose.
march across the fmwer Elbe towards the Nether-
lands, where their osec must be decisive,
we trust we shall have very speedily to describe.

All the remainder of the news froni Holland is
of the .saute character with that we have an-
nounced above, and since the breaking Out of the
glorious Revolution been in the habit of receiv-
ing. At Middleburgh, the National Guard haVe
resisted' an attempt' to drag them to the defence
of Flushing, and we entertain no doubt but the
patriotism of the people will soon rescue the
whole island of Wolcheren from the pollution' of
Frenchmen. The enemy have begun ietiring from
Nimmegen across the Meuse to Grave, and though
it is stated that MacnoNaLn had arrived at Cleves
(Kleef), it is evident, from the preceding move-
ment, that be could 'not' have brought with
him any. thing like an overwhelming force.—
Antwerp has certainlybeen approached, if not in-
vested, by the Allies, and we hear of nothing
but the passage of troops in.every direction to-
wards Brabant. The British troops march from
lieivoetsluys to IVilliatnitadt the Aiiies in large
bodies, through Dort and rappcnarechr, upon
Ifardingfehts, whole these aktin are followed by
divisions, to the number of p or 80(h) men, crossing
the Leek at Werkenda, • eitlenherg, and Viaven.
On the other hand, the enemy are pressed by dan-
ger from without, and paralysed by want of con-
fidence within. The interesting account of the'
taking of Breda is a fine illustration of their panic'
and irresolution; From the Scheldt fleet ail that
are Dutch are deserting to tight under the Orange
Standard.' Seventy men and - a Lientennnt Came'
'over at one sweep—the next brought the CreNV of

In 'consequence of ►►. laudable tenderness' on the
part of the Prince of ORANGE, and his desire to
spare his people in Naarden the horrors of a bom-
bardment, that place, is still in.the hands of the
French. The merciful conduct of its Sovereign,
however, proves at once his security, and the cer-
tainty of its speedy fall. A corpi of from 30 to
40,000 Prussians are said to be on their route
through Bamberg.

The letters from Lord WELLINGTON'S army by

they, state, °that the arnty,retaius its fprtuer posi:
-tinn. General Mo'au.r.o's division rests it; right
on the Pyrenees ; General Sir Rowl.Amn HILL's
head-quarters are at lispilette, he commands the

in trout of S.t . eau -de Luz ; the Nieve iteli in
front of the right ; the left of course rests oh the

sea ; the position is a good one, and nobody seems
to. h4zard an opinion oon the subject of present
advance.

Itis said, that Lord WriLLINGTOZI Wrote Mar-
• SOULT letter, on his entering St: lean 'de
Luz, in which he requested
.the French Marshal
to allow the inhabitants to return to their houses
iii St. Jt:au de 412, and thi villages occupied by
• SOULT sent fur the Civil Authority at
BayOnne, and calmly showing him Lord IV.7s Let.
ter, desired him to matte a return of such. families
as wished to return. A long list was soon handed
to the Marshal,. who ordered all the females to be
marched to the British lines, and the glides tt.), be
incorporated with his battalions.

The Dublin Papers wientioned a report; that n
Bill for the relief of the Catholics of Ireland will
be introduced into Parliament, by a prineipal Mi
nister of the Crown, nuclogged with what are
f‘ falsely called securities." This repOrt, we pre-
seiwe, must be a Catholic fabrication, as it is by
no means likely that the Constitution of the Bri-
tish Empire will be thrown open to Papists, with-
out such Wedges on their part as are essetktial to
its preservation.

dent that it can be attended with no substantial
injury to him, at he can transfer his property to
