In our preceding columns will be found a Gazelle
Extraordinary, detailing an unfortunate attempt to
take Bergen-op-Zoom by storm. The f..ilure of this
bold and perhaps too hazardous enterprize, is only to
be lamented in proportion as it has deprived the
country of the services of many brave and valuable
soldiers. The loss of Officers was great beyond pre.
cedent.—a convincing proof that every man did his
duty. This partial check to the efforts of the Allies
in liberating Holland, can have no effect whatever
upon the grand features of the campaign.
• Bergen-op-Zoom was always considered to be one
of the strongest fortifications in Europe—it has under-
gone various sieges. In the years 1586 and 1622, it
was besieged by the Spattiards, but they made scarcely
any impression upon it. About the commencement of
the last century, the fortifications were rebuilt by the
celebrated Dutch Engineer COIJORN, and it has been
justly regarded by all Engineers as kis mister-piecr.
In 17,1.7, to the astonishment of all Europe, it was
taken by the French by storm, after a gallant de-
fence of three months. It was restored at the Pesce
of 171 S, and the works were dismantled. '

In 1791• it was seized by the French : treachery ?rt
the part of the garrison, or rather the revoluticnary
mania which was rapidly spreading among the Dutch,
facilitated its surrender; it has since been occupied•
by a French garrison.
We have likewise to mention, on the authority of
a Wrning Paper, another piece of intelligence which,
though less distressing than the preceding, is also of
an unfavourable nature : Bruges, which was lately
occupied by the Allies, has, it is said, again fallen
into the hands of the enemy, who brought against it
a force of 7000 men.

Since our last Mnniteurs to dic 10th, and minor'
Paris Papers to the 9th, have been received.. They
are silent respecting BONAPARTE'S operations ; and,
indeed, contain no news from the principal theatre
of the war. We may of course conclude, that no
event favourable to the Ustirrr had occurred, or
they would have been blazoned forth in the usual
stile. But from another circumstance we infer that
unfavourable reports were in circulation in Paris.
On. the 7th the funds had not recovered from their
previous fall to 53 franks ; and on the Bth there was
a further depression to 51. General SAINT PRIEST,
mentioned to have been taken in a sortie by 61( gar-
' rison Of Landrecies, is not a Russian, but a Pi
Officer—we suspect a typographical error. Nti it t y
possibly have to announce soon, that there is r::
truth in this than in the reported deaths of Ger.crals
D'Yonx and WREDE.

The following Letter appeared yesterday in a
Sunday Paper :

" FULKSTONE, SATURDAY EVENING.
" The following intelligence has just been received from Bou-
logne, and may be relied upon as authertic
'6 Marshal BLUCHER, being attacked by BONAP.%RTLwithsu.
perlor forces, fell back until the sth ; when, being reinforced
(it is conjecturod by some part of the CROWN PRINCE'S force),
he moved forward, and on the Bth defeated an advanced corps of
the French army, made u...,°0 prisoners, and took eight pieces of

cannon.

" It was stated at Boulogne, that BoNAraira had been re-
called eastward by the advance of Prince SCOWARTZLNERRO.
" The Cossacks had again penetrated to Fontainbleau; and
some hundreds of them had been seen within fifteen miles of
Paris, where the greatest alarm prevailed.
" The Police is so strict—the spies so numerous—that no one
dares express publicly his apprehensions. The arrests are fre-
quent. Persons attempting to leave Paris without passports are
apprehended and imprisoned.
" The rupture of the discussions for an armistice, occasioned
by the refusal of the Allies to retire to the frontiers, or at least
200 milts front Paris, had put an end to the hopes of immediate
Peace.

" PLATO?? was harassing the rear of the enemy at Montmirail.
" Tl:e bourbon standard was currently reported at Boulogne,
to be flying hi three departments, and that thousands had flock-
ed to it."

The general features of the preceding letter havei
an nir of probability, but we know nothing of the de-
gree of credit to which it may be entitled, any more
than we do that which may be due to a report of a
directly opposite nature given in a Paper of this mor-
ning, which states—that a battle took place on the
,7th between BONAPARTE and BLUCHER, in which the
hitter was defeated with the loss of 10,000 men and
100 pieces of cannon. This intelligence, it is said,
appears in a French paper of the 10th with derails of
forced marches—desperate resistance by a Prussian
corps c, lied the go Death's Heads," &c. &c.
On the face of this statement some things appear
which people versant in the appreciation of probabi-
lities as to the truth of intelligence will not easily cte-

Round numbers of 10,600 men and 100 pieces
of cannon, are not konsistent with the character of a
commanication pretending to give minutia respecting
an individual 'corps—the " Death's Heads." To be
plain—we smell a Bear—it is very rank.

The reported defeat of BLuatttt proves, as we
suspected, a fabrication. Since writing the above,
Paris Papers to the 12th have been received. They
claim a victory gained over the Allies on the 7th
instant at Craone, a place situated between Rheims
and Laon, but the details are given in such a confused
manner, that no impoitance can be attached to them.
We have not seen the papers alluded to, but we are
informed that they announce a farther fall in the
French funds to 30. This looks very different from
any thing like victories on the part of the Tyrant.

Our Own funds, which experienced a depression in
the morning, in consequence of the false report, have
again recovered. Omnium in the morning was as
low as 25, but at the moment we are writing has
got to 27.

Letters from the French toast represent Paris to be
in a most alarming situation—the inhabitants expect-
ing every day a most unwelcome visit from the Cos-
sacks; parties of whom were now and then seen at
no great distance from the city.
