• A letter from the environs of Dantzic, dated the
23d inst. communicates the following intelligence:
44 The remainder of the suburb of Alt Schottland
was entirely burnt on the 21st, 41, well as the Jesuits'
church. This once beautiful suburb is now only a
heap of ashes. The cannonade continues so violent,
that on that side alone we often hear from ten to
twenty discharges every minute. Eighteen or twenty
cleserters,daily arrive from-the place, among whom
are many Vrench artillerymen."

. The night before last we took from the enemy the,
entrenchments known by the names of the Jesuits and,
Jews entrenchments ; and they are now occupied by
the allied troops. The latter took fourteen pieces of
cannon, without losing a man. These entrenchments
had been so much damaged by our batteries, that
the enemy were obliged. ,to abandon them on the first
assault.

PRIVATE LETTER.

4, BANKS OF THE MAESE, DEC,I4.
" We are upon the eve of receiving intelligence re-
specting two important events, 'wither oat which has
yet happened s the surrender of Antwerp, and the
capture of Gorcum. It is not impossible, that before
this letter is closed„ it may announce the possession
of oneor of both of these places by the allied troops.
" Very extensive means have been directed against
both these fortresses, but particttlarly against the for-
user. About 3000 Cossacks are already before the
walls of Antwerp, and yesterday 5000 Prussian troops
under General Bulow, who will conduct the ope-
rations, arrived at Breda, and' by this time have, in
all probability, either commenced operations against
the city, or are masters of it, and the immense stores
and magazines that are in the arsenals. Three regi-
ments of Russia* infantry on Saturday also marched
from Rotterdam against Antwerp, under the orders
of a Brigadier-General.
" Should the Governor of Antwerp refuse to sur-
render the place when it is summoned, it is under-
stood among the officers of the allied troops, that the
fortress will not be regularly besieged, the season
being too far advanced for such an undertaking, but
that it will be surrounded, and a strict blockade es-
tablished and maintained. Nearly all the Cossacks
in Rotterdam have taken their departure for A nt-
werp. Some persons of good information affirm, that
it is in the contemplation of the Commarhier in Chief
of these operations, to storm Antwerp, in case the
garrison should refuse to lay down their arms on the
first summons, and it is certain that the garrison
could make little or no resistance.

" All military men know, that in consequence of
the extent of the works at Antwerp, it would require
at least a garrison of 30,000 men to defend it, when
the fact is (as we know from three Dutch officertwho
last night reached Rotterdam from Antwerp, having
quitted the French standard during the night), that
or regular troops in the city there are not 900, the
whole garrison not consisting of more than 2000 men,
made up of raw recruits, who have been compelled
to enter the service of the enemy, and a few marines
And sailors that have been supplied from the fleet.
64 The crews of the ships in the Scheldt desert en
masse, as was the case with the Chatham, and join
4 the good cause,' so that the fleet is now actually
scarcely manned at all.
.The inhabitants of Antwerp
are alledged, indeed are known to be, in a state little
short of insurrection ; and under all the circum-
stances, it seems impassible that ;kny thing like a re-
sistance can be made. •
44 Besides the preparations made on land, noticed
above, we have intelligence from a gentleman who'
quitted Walcheren only twenty-four hours since, that'
there were then lying off Flushing a fleet of 16 sail
of the line, with pilots on board, otily waiting for a
westerly wind to carry them up the Scheldt, to assist
in the important undertakings against Bergen-op.
Zoom and other fortresses on that river. For the last
three years the French have been busily engaged in
repairing the fortifications of Flushing, in the hope
that the same blunder of which the English were
guilty in the former expedition to Walcheren, would
again be committed by them, hut they will find them-
saves deceived. The westerly wind for which this
fleet was detained has blown for the last twelve hours,
and the fleet has doubtless long since sailed up the
Scheldt. • -

It was on the day before yesterday, at about
seven o'clock in the evening, that the Sub-Prefect of
the arrondissement of Breda, had received informa-
tion from the Mayor of Oozlerhout, of some Cossacks
having appeared on Werkendam, and at nine o'clock
he received a second express, with intelligence that
80 Cessackshad already arrived at Werkendam, and
carried off the picquet of marines antigens d'armes.
At three o'clock in thy afternoon 25 Cossacks
appeared before the Bosse gate of this city to make a
reconnoisance, and came so near, that several mus-
ket and pistol shots were exchanged,
The whole garrison of this place, consisting of
SOO men, both coast artillery and marines, and other
troops, were immediately in motion, and a field-piece
was planted over the gate.
When it began io grow dark, the Cossacks
made a movement towards the Gemick-gate, which
threw the garrison into such dread and confusion,
that General Ambert, who had some days before been
appointed Qovernor of Breda, fearing that his retreat
might he cut off, determined on quitting the city, and
actually commenced doing so ai about three o'clock
in the morning.
The Sub-Prefect having given notice so the
acting Mayor of this evacuation, the latter immedi-
ately considered on giving the necessaty orders for
preserving the tranquillity of the city during the eva-
cuation ; and at half-past seven o'clock yesterday
evening, summoned all the principal inhabitants to
assemble at the town-house. In a small space e.f time
upwaids of 200 gentlemen had ass.mbled, who im,
ruedivrely formed paroles, to gp through the city.
At nine o'clock eight Cossacks, with an Offlcer,
appeared before the Bush-gate, who remained waiting
there unlit the Mayor came to fetch them in, The
- Officer then wrote a letter to General Staal, cum,
maudialg the Imperial Russian van-guard, in which'

44 With respect to Gorcum (or Gorinchem), we
learn, that a tew days since, the garrison was sums
moned to surrender, and twenty-four hours were al-
lowed for the reply to the terms of capitulation offer-
ed. That time expired yesterday at noon, and as
we.have not yet heard of the possession of the for-
tress by the Allies, it is presumed that the bombard-
ment has been commenced. If an attempt be made
by storm, many lives must bg unavoidably lost; and
as the ultimate cession of the place is certain, it seems
a useless waste of blood.
44 is certain that Gorcum cannot make a long
resistance, if for no other reason, from a want of pro-
visions. A few days since, the co:,sacks, who. are
posted all round it, intercepted ano;lier very large
convoy of corn, foiage, and other necessaries, when
they took about 200 French prisoners. The Russian
forges in this vicinity, amounting to 6000 men, are
under General S id, This officer has also under his
orders a small body of Dutch levies that have been
recently disciplined ; the latter have rex proceeded
no further than Breda.
" Intelligence is likewise hourly expected of the
surrender of the Helder ; the last accounts obtained
from thence represent the garrison to be in a state of

not been finished, and several wells

passed through Rotterdam.
44 An unpleasant suspicion prevails among many
individuals at the Hague, who have good means of
information, that the British troops that were landed
on the first breaking ont of the Revolution, will soon
be re-embarked for England. The people of Hol-
land do not repose that sort of unlimited confidence
on any troops, that they feel for the English, and
such a measure, at such a time, when the indepen-
dence of the Netherlands is so unconfirmed, would
be,highly impolitic. We cannot believe that such a
measure is possible, much less probable ; for as yet,
for particular reasons assigned -in my last, besides
those natural causes that must unavoidably operate,
the Dutch have no troops of their own, and until
very lately, no arms. It is true that a considerable
supply, 601000 stand, has within a few days been
banded at Schevening, and deposited in the maga. HOUSE OF LORDS, DECE:.I2I:R

A considerab:e sensation was produced in the Me-,

thing like a revolution had taken place at Paris ;
that, BONAPARTE had fled no one knew where ; that
ae people had mounted the white cockade ; and that
every thing indicated the speedy restoration of the
Bourbpns. The report, being founded on a letter,
knowtk to have been received, by Mr. CotNAcytt, the.
PriAtseller in Cockspur-strcet, from his son at Rotter-
dam, and copies of the letter having got into circu-
Wien, received very general credit ; blit,we are sorry
to add, is not confirmed by any later, arrival from

REDUCTION OF PRICE IN ALE AND Amaca.--In

therefore, in a day or two, be enabled to congratulate,
the Public on a further reduction in the price of roll:

use of in the Breweries, are ascertained to be much
more expensive than those of malt and hops. This is

The Ned British and Spas;ieli Atinig uti L
South of France have gained anodic,. victory. On
the 9th instant, SOULT was once more driven film
his entrenched positions in front• of Bayonne, and the
head-quarters of Lprd WELLIWGTON have been estab-
lished at St. Pierre. The official details have not yet
been received, but there is no doubt of the fact.
The attack was commenced by the left difision under
General Sir JOHN HOPE. In two hours the whole of
the lines Apposed to him were carried, with the loss
of about 300 men, and Sir JOHN established himself
nt Angle, within a league of Bayonne. Lord WEL-
I INGTON, with the right and centre, nearly at the
same moment, crossed the Nive, and drove all before
him, establishing himself at St. Pierre, as above
mentioned. Souvr, with his Staff, are said to have
retired within the walls of Bayonne—he has a camp
still in front of it, and close under the guns of the
fortress ; but the above splendid achievements of Sir
JOHN HOPE and Marquis WELLINGTON have put them
in possession of the whole of the surrounding country.
The situation of the French troops outside of the walls
of Bayonne is therefore precarious in the extreme.
