... BANKS OF THE LOWER RHINE, DEC. t 7.
So many, and such contradictory statements, have
been published respecting the Fortress of Gorcum,
that the following account, from an eye-witness,
whose object was merely to ascertain its real situawl
tion, will be acceptable: i
a Gorcuxu is placed Oa the northern bank of the,
Masse, which runs nearly dUe east and west. The
river is about one-eighth of a mile broad, or rather
more. The town stands, like all others in that part
I' of the country, on an extenOre plain, and is couse-
-1 silently commanded by no adjacent height. I went
I rotind the fortress by crossing the rieer ; the f.rtif-
cations are on all sides low, and, towards the land,
are composed of sand and clay, upon which are
plated some heavy pieces of artillery. At the stern
"tatremiey of the town, the French bave.raisek a cir-
cular bastion, which projects a little into the Meese,
Upon. which six guns of twenty-four pentads calibre
are Mounted. Nearly opposite to this work, on the
southern side of the river, is the Fort of Worcarn or
Worinchem. of which the enemy has likewise posses-
sion; and a communication between the town and
this fort is kept•up by means of boats that unobstrue-
te.dly ply backwards and forwards.
41 Just out of range of the artillery of the French,
higher up the river to the eastward. are stationed
three Dutch gue-hoats ; but, although prepared for
service, they cannot be emiloyed effectually, as the
metal they carry consists only of six-pounders. We
approached within h ilt rriu.ket.sbist ot the walls, but
the sentries, whom we saw changed, and .the guard,
afthom we saw mounted, did not bffer to molest us,
44 Gorcum is completely surrounded by an army
of about fiie thousaiti Prussi.in infantry, and with
`litany of the officers I had an opportunity of conver-
1, sing. They'intormed me that thecommunication of
the enemy with the adjacent territory was entirely
cot off by their troops and by . the Cossacks, who
were scouring the country in that neighbourhood, to
the number of ahout seven hundred men. The French
I garrison of Gorcum consis ed, according to the best
I calculation, of seventeen hundred men, and in the
'Tort of Worcum they had about -three hundred.
They had provotions, it was supposed, tor two months,
but no salt. Their ammunition, from the sparing
manner in which they had used it, was presunr d -to
be short. There was no immediate eapectation that
the place would capitulate, though terms had several
times been offered, and been the subject ot negocia.
tion. Three batteries, calculated to bear eight thirty-
! two pounders each, had been raised to intin-lidate the
enemy, but the artillery had not yet arrived from the
army of the Crown Prince of Sweden. When it was
obtain. d, howe%er, it was understood not, to be the
intention of the besiegers to fire upon the town, which
would thus be destroyed, but to starve out the enc.-
py, if indeed he should remain so long obstinate.—
The works of the French would be soonest practical.
ble on the opposite side of the river, they, among
other disadvantages, being formed of stone • and as
the rdad which runs to the south of the Meese is
raised, it could. very easily be converted into a bat-
tery. The communication between tiorcum and
Worcum might be obstructed with facility by a few
large gun-boats. In short, all the military men agree,.
that it no merciful consideration were had of the
sewn and ot its inhabitants, with the necessary artil.
kry the place could be carried, without much diffia
culty, in a few hours. The Prussians are bivouacked
in the open plains, but are always prepared, expect.
fog sorties from the enemy.
66 The mills from which the Cossacks were driven
in a late affairs, and which were burnt by the enemy,
stood about a quarter of a mile to the west of Gor-
cum. In the sane direction, the french have de-
stroyed a number of houses forming the suburbtt
which interfered with the discharge ot their artillery.
It is supposed that there is a considerable quantity of
treasure in Gorcum.
" On Tuesday last there was a slight skirmish be.
tween a small body of Cossacks and a party of
French infantry foraging near Bois le Duc, which
terminated in tea of the latter being taken prisoners,
and three killed.
"6 Before the French fled from Nimeguen, they
plundered the town of every article of value that was
portable, with which, we are sorry to say, they sue..
ceeded in making off. This is the general prii,ciplee
-(If principle it may be called) on which they proceed
when they evacuate any place.
" To-day dispatches were received from the neigh.
bourhood of Antwerp,• but they do not contain any
news of consequence respecting that city. It does not
seem that the Allies have commenced any regular
operations against that place. The British troops
that have proceeded from hence to the vicinity of the
Scheldt. have been divided; part have taken the road
to Antwerp, and part to Bergen.op-Zoorn, as it is
said that mutual and simultaneous operations are to
be conducted against those placei. Middleburgh es
already in the hands of the English, and we have
reason to believe that -Berl:fn.:op-Zoom will' not long
, resist. Afl . trews had been sent into the place,
and there appea a disposition on the part of the

every breath puts in motion to blind us.

SCHWERIN, NOVEMBER IL.
On the day before yesterday the corps d'armee of
Eckinuhl quitted its strong position on the Stecknitz,
and evacuated Ratzeburg, Mollen, and Lubeck,
which places are taken possession of by the Allies.
The cause of Eckmulll's retreat is said to be the
banes having left him and retired into the territory
of Holstein. Eckmuhl will now most probably de-
fend himself to the utmost in Hamburgh, as consi-
derable works have been constructed there, and means
of inundation fully prepared, in case of need, but

Once more we repeat, we see no chance for a pesul
manent or secure Peace while BONAPARTE and • his;
creatures conduct the Government of France. Let
the Allies, therefore, advance boldly and vigorously
against the foe, having the example of the Great Wm.-
unCtoss before their eyes, paying the unfortunate
•inhabitants every where for their provisions and other
necessaries, leaving the Civil Authorities every where
M the full exercise of their functions, and " making
w be felt as a scourge," as the Archduke CHARLES
said of the great and good General MOREAU, " only

crew who stirrotrnd his person, will be best extirpated'
—they will receive their punishment frost those who
are perhaps best entitled to inflict it, and the Al-
lies will be saved from the charge of assassination.

The character of these dunghill fowls is most isk
mirably drawn by the pen of the immortal IlunKE-11
it was at an early period of the French Revolution
that this great luminary of the. human race foresaw'
'the mischievous durability of this cold'-blooded fac-
'tion, and he thus denouncedZern to posterity :
" Such men can serve no cause, for this plain rea-
son—they have no cause at heart. They can at best
work only as mere mercenaries. They have not been
guilty of great crimes ; but it is only because they
have not energy of mind to rise to any height of
wickedness. They are not hawks or kites ; they are
only miserable fowls whose flight is not above their
dunghill or henroost.• But they tremble before the
authors of these horrors. They admire them at a
safe and respectful distance. There never was a
mean and abject mind that did not admire an intre-
pid and dexterous villain. In the bottom of their
hearts they believe such hardy miscreants to be the
only men qualified for great affairs if you set them
to transact with such persons, they are instantly sub-1
deed. They dare not so much as look their antago-
nist in the face. They are made to be their subjects,
not to be their arbiters or controllers. These men
to be sure can look at atrocious acts without indigna-
tion, and can behold suffering virtue without sym-
pathy. Therefore they are considered as sober dis-
passionate men. But they have their passions, though
of another kind, and which are infinitely more likely
to carry them out of the path of their duty. They are
of a tame, timid, languid, inert temper wherejer the
welfare of other: is concerned. In such causes, as they
have no motives to action, they never possess any real
ability, and are totally destitute of all resource."

MS. MILLS and Mr. YEWICAS, two King's Messen-
gers, arrivid in Downing-street this morning from the
Hague, which place they left an the 20th. They
bring dispatches from Lord CLANCAIITY) but they
contain no news.

It is reported in the City that amounts have been
received from the Marquis of Wa.t.tNovorr, stating,
that he had driven Sow.? from his entrenched camp,
compelling him to abandon Bayonne to its fate,
the French army taking the road to Bourdeaux ; and
that a number of foreign troops in his army had de-
serted to our army.

It is also-reported in the City, that Lord CASTLE-
Rzacu sets off this evening for the Head-quarters of
the Allied Army, and to proceed from thence to
Switzerland, where a Congress is to be held for a
General Peace.

Among the absurd reports at the Stock Exchange
this morning, it was said. that Preliminaries of Peace
had been signed at Frankfort!
These reports, however, bad a great influence
upon the Funds, as Omnifim was done in the early
part of the day as high as 14 per cent. premium,
and at noon was at 1%.

" CADIZ, NovEMßEitst.
4, Yesterday the Supreme Board of Health reported
to the Cortes, that the daily deaths in Cadiz do not
exceed the usual number in ordinary times : and that

there can be no inconvenience in declaring at the
end of the month, that city to be free from contagion.
—By the weekly statement, there app.: iri to be
at present 81 cases of the prevailing fever, 9 of which
are serious ones.

" GIBRALTAR, DEC. 2.
" The fever now has so much decreases' that not
above two persons on an average are taken ill daily,
and we are in hopes that in a fortnight's time the
Garrison will be declared healthy. Ensign Clu&be,
of the 26th Regiment, died this morning of the fever.
" All the artificers and labourers, with their fami-
lies, have entirely escaped the disease, to the number
of SOO, by living in the dock-yard, and keeping
themselves in strict quarantine, though it ha's attacked
every house in the street inside of the walls, within
thirty yards of the dock-yard. This singular fact has
been a fatal blow to the Bancroft theory of the yellow
fever, and which is now ridiculed by every person
here. In ten days time the Churches and Courts of
Justice are to be opened.

,“ All the housis in town are fumigating and white
washing, to extirpate the remains of the contagion.
All who had the fever in 1804, hive compleatly es-
caped this time, to the number of 3200, with one
doubtful exception—of the remaining 5000 inhabi-
tants who have remaiced, not above forty have es-
caped an attack."

convoy of three frigates.
" The Express packet, alcove-mentioned, is from
Cadiz and Coronas, two days from the latter.
" The Duke of Montrose packet, also above men

by two French frigates, and given up to the crew."
There is no credit attached to the report of the
above captures, at the Admiralty.

Tuesday, the 2d battalion of that distinguished old
regiment the 36th, under tbe command of Captain
CROSS, marched from Blachington to Lewes Barracks.
The 241 battalion, 63d Regiment, commanded by
Lieutenant-Colonel Lord BtJRGHERSH, now stationed
at Ipswich, has received orders to hold itself in readi-
ness to march to Harwich, there to embark on board
transports for Holland.

at Mr. Wilson's, a linen-draper, is King-street, Mino-

either from the neighbours or the engines, which were
'on the spot within a few minutes after it begun, the
whole of the extensive building, and the valuable
stock of drapery, were entirely consumed.
