cannon, came as far as t-tia Brugge on the Lieve, from
which our E.-ttr!iers, who were few in number, retired ;
butch did not cross the river—intimidated pro-
tidily by the tocsin of Maldeghem, which called together
the *Civic Guards with the troops, anel tub t'herei retreat
to their own territory, which is close by. Another attack
was Assenedc.

EICatT A.'a'r.—Last night news Was received
that the Datch had taken Watervliet. A!..sened is eccupicd

An &Tress announces the recovery of Watervliet ; that
one troops had pursued the Dnteh *lth the loss of 200
killed and wounded, tc the Capiralen Dam, which they
abandoned an' re-embarked. _ _ _

Ti'! ;:aking of Aardenburg is announced, but I do not
believe it.
ANTWERP, AUG. 4, HALr-tAFT tr\ 'i..l4.—The King
arrived at Antwerp at litff-Mast five o'clock with his suite.
The Death Piave nut gained an inch of ground to-day
at aty point. The women and children are leating Ant-
werp. The presence of the Kirl I.tt,s produced the
greatest effect.
ANTwEivr. Aut. 4, ELEVEN AT NIGLIT.-The King
passes Me night at Antwerp. The suspension of arms
expired two hours ego, and every thing is petfrttty calm.
At nine all the troops and civic gtal-,ds took their posi-

arrived with tlre. rn'Asin playing ; a crowd of inh,bitants
actorir.k.i'A ft, and at the very moment wher:s. Fhe armis
titc eXpired, patriotic airs were eyes`-.ted by the band, and
accompanied in chorus !!..7 a vast multitude. The enthu-
siasm was extrernt. The General Officers have visited all
the ports% Order, discipline, and courage are remelted. •
Ine accounts from the army continnt Yo be good.
GHENT, AUG• gn.htvrEas•—According to
the report of that flothrnandant of West Flanders, klal-
deglutat rem attacked about ten in the rnornit. 'i'wo
entripanies of the 6th Regiment, 70 ',SlWillows, and 400
men of the neighbouring repulsed the enemy, who
had advanced a 'tlt'Lller of a league from Maldeghem to a
quarter tf a league into his own territory. Baron Van-
thrlinden d'Hoogvorst, Commander-in-Chief of the Civic
Guard, set out to-day, sth August, with h s staff, to fix
his head-quarters fur the Preteht at ',Vannes.
The accounts R-ott". all parts of Belgium announce that
the inhabit:al-Its raise an unanimous cry of " Death to the
Outtill." All Belgium seems to be electrified, as in the
glorious days of September. It has re,..-tnitted that mighty
energy which made it trim-n.O so gloriously, and assures it

a still greater triuriph. -
General nelliardand Mr. Abercrombie have come to
Antterp and opened a correspondence with the citadel,
the result of which we do not know,
As the Chief Powers of the Carman Confederation,
Prussia, Austria, and England (for Hanover), have en-
gaged to keep Luxembourg in Oulu quo, our Government
has been able without danger to recal part of the troops
stationed at that province. The 7th Regiment; hen already
arrived. The Dutch, by breaking tht! nt-inistice agreed to
at the desire of the five Po' ens, have in some measure se-
parated front them. We may therefore depend on the
protection of France and England.
! Vie every moment expect news front London, not that
England will interfere in a war which tv alt far from
dreading, but only desiring that It VIAAy protect our fami-
lies, our property! cur cf,`,Mmercial establishments our tem-
ples, and the master-pieces of art, from conflagration and
destruction. We do not ask assistance against an enemy

whom we can combat, but against those who. st:ttire flom
our attacks, may crush us without Ask—this is the only
intervention that we as!: car, and that is worthy of us.
rwegr, AtjOusT 4, THREE, r.m.—Never did
hordes of banditti commit such horrors as the Dutch
troops. All the villages that can be seen from this port '
on the right hink of the Scheldt are in flames; the fleet
continues to fire balls and bombs. Indignation is painted
on every countenance. S-seral Inflate of the line have
been attacked, but the barbarians have been tepulstd.
Every thing is preparing fur a just and terrible vengeance.
"Death to the Dutch!" is the general cry.
Everybody here is animated with the best spirit. The
gunners are at the 48-pounders in Fort du Nord, prepared
to crush the Dutch fleet, should it approach. All the
avenues towards the Scheldt and the citadel are being
barricaded.
I have just been looking at the fire; one cannot help
shedding tears. In this dry weather whole villages Were
consumed in a quarter of an hoar. May Providence give
strength and union to Ilelgiutn, and may our armies be
victorious
P. S. It is reported that 20,000 Prussians at least have
been incorporated in the Dutch army. Antwerp presents
a most striking and animated spectacle ; almost all the
streets are unpaved, barricadra as high as a man, de-
fended by deep ditches, are raised by the inhabitants,
whose enthusiasm is boundless. They are excited by what
they hear of the atrocities of the enemy, and by the sight of
a dreadful conflagration, which consumes all the farms and
villages on the banks of the Scheldt ; eight hundred sick
have been removed from the hospitals, and sent to Louvain.
The Dutch men of war have been exchanging signals all
the morning ; the fl'et looks like an immense forest ; at
five o'clock a frigate seemed preparing to sail up the river,
but did not execute this design. Officers of the Navy say,
that the ships cannot ascend the river before three o'clock
in the morning.
P.S.—Six Prussians, wearing the Dutch uniform,
have just deserted, and entered Antwerp. They declare
that a great number of their countrymen are enlisted in
the Dutch regiments.

ANTWERP, AUG. s.—Five. r.m.—The night passed
quietly till about four in the morning) *hen pretty fre-
quent cannon-shot were htard. It is said they came from
the four gun- boats anchored in the Scheldt, and that the
object was to destroy our port or the village of Burcht, on
the bank of the river. The King was one of the first who
heard the firing. He imtnediately left his Palace on foot,
and, quite alone, repaired to the port to ascertain whence
the firing proceeded, and ascendtel the toWer, whence the
positions of the-o,tet and army were pointed out to him.
General Chasse has enjoined all neutral vessels to quit
the basin of Antwerp, not choosing to incur the responsi-
bility of the damage which the bombardment might oc-
casion.—Brussels Papers, August Li.
