FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, MARCH 15.

Admiral Lord Keith has transmitted to John Wil-
son Croker, Esq. a letter from Rear-Admiral Pen.
rose, dated on board his Majesty's ship Porcupine,
off the Jru of the Adnur, the 25th of February,
stating that the boats and small vessels destined to
assist the operations of the army under the Marquess
of Wellington, 'succeeded in crossing the Bar of the
above river on the preceding day.
• A breeze, which sprung up in the ni,ght of the 23d,
/was the first that had offered itself, since the neces-
sary preparations had been ia forwardness, to enable
the *Vessels to reach the mouth of the Adour • and
early on the following morning the Rear-Admiral
was off the .Bar with the vessels and boats collected
for the service.
The boats of the vessels of war, with two flat
boats, were sent directly to the Bar to endeavour to
find a passage through the surf, the British troops
being at that time seen from the ships crossing over
to the north side of the river, but greatly in want of
the boats intended for their assistance.

Captain O'Reilly, in a Spanish-built boat, selected
as the most safe for the service, and having with him
the principal pilot, was overset itrhis.attempt to enter,
but escaped on shore. Lieutenant Debenham, in a
six-oared cutter, succeeded in reaching the beach ;
the other boats returned to wait the result of the next
tide, it king scarcely possible that one in fifty could
then have crossed.

• A pilot was sent to land to the south-west of the
river, and walk from thence .to the Adour, in or-
der to make a concerted signal from within the
Bar, to guide the vessels through the safest parts.—
Without the Bar there appeared no interval ; a long
and heavy line of surf alone presenting itself. Re-
wards were offered to the leading vessel, the second,
third, &c.

Lieutenant Collins, Flag-Lieutenant to Rear-
Admiral Penrose, was dispatched also to endeavour
to 'mid, and walk to the army ; and the Rear-Ad-
miral was informed, about that time, by Sir Juhn
Hope, of the progress made by the troops, and the
great utility of which the boats would prove, if they
could join.
The tide being at length at a proper height, and
all the vessels well up for the attempt, several drew
near the Bar, but hauled off again, till at last Lieu-
tenant Cheyne (of the Woodlark sloop), in a Spa-
nish bolt, with five British seamem, crossed the surf
and ran up the river. The next was a prize boat,
manned from a transport, closely followed by a gun-
boat, commanded by Lieutenant Chesshyre, who
was the first that has hoisted the British colours in
the Adour.

The rest of the boats and vessels' followed in rapid
succession, and with extraordinary success : the zeal
and science of the Officers triumphing over all the
difficulties of the navigation.
The Rear-Admiral was not yet enabled to trans-
mit a 'return of the casualties : it was hoped from
the nearness of the shCre that they would fall mostly
an the vessels.

G.:ILL/INT OPLRATIONS IN THE WEST
SCHELDT:

Shortly after the Fortst and Neserlwa:4f3aeee bad
penetrated into the West Seheldt,and ibe bat-
teries of Flushing and Cadsand without lolss,„eateain
movements of the enemy, buth at Antwerp and
flushing, rendered it necessary to send a reinforce-
ment into that branch of the river, to support our
frigates, in the event of an unequal contest. About
the 11th of February the ANTELOPE, of 50 guns, the
Sweabourg Russian frigate, and the REsoLurlow cut-
ter, to lead, were dispatched from the Rompoot, to
lie at the entrance Qf the Wieland channel, and be
ready to make a dash into the West Scheldt, as soon
as circumstances proved favourable. It so happened,
however& that a series of easterly winds set in, and
completely precluded any attempt till the Ist of
March. About inid-clay (March 1) the wind veered
from S. to S.S.W. and cleared; and the ships pre-
pared to weigh anchor. The enemy seemed aware
of our intentions, .and tried the range of their shot be-
tween Flushing and Cadsand.
On the latter island, a strong battery (Bonaparte)
has been erected since oar last expedition, mounting
the heaviest ordnance : in fact, it is now ascertained
that nearly 200 pieces of cannon, including mortars,
can play upon the passage into the West Scheldt,
which is precisely three miles from shore to shore.—
At 40 minutes past three the ships weighed, and in
15 minutes the Wulpin battery opened a heavy fired
upon us. A 4. 10. we were abreast of the point of
Bresicins, when bolts Bonaparte and Imperial opened
on one side, and at the same instant, the batteries of
Flushing on the other. The ANTELOPE and SWEA•
BOURG now commenced a well directed cannonade on
the Cadsand batteries, Acing which they rail pretty
close, in consequence of the wind being so scant, that
they were obliged IO hand their bowlines on the star-
board tack. This running fight continued about half
an hour, without any material injury to the ships.—
The ANTELOPE, however, received many shot, and
one from the Imperial battery at Cadsand, which
penetrated through the hammocks on the starboard
side of the poop, and went out through the bulwark
on the other side, was very destructive ; it carried off
both legs of a Dutch pilot, who was standing oh the
poop, and waiting to take charge of the skip, as soon
as she should get past the Hoog-plat ; two other men
(a sailor and a marine) each lost a leg by the same
ball, which also wounded several others, but not se-
verely. The frigate lost no man, nor had any woun-1
ded = and the RUOLUTION cutter hZd only her gaff
topsail shot away by a shell from off Flushing, whichl,
occasioned her to fall astern of the ships, instead of
leading a-head, and directing their course by her
soundmgs.
A little before five o'clock, it being thick and hazy,
the ANTELOPE unfortunately grounded on the hook
of the Hoog-platp and nearly at the same time the
frigate also took the ground astern of the ANTELOPE.
In ten minutes the wind shifted, all at once, round to
W. N. W. and blew fresh, with a strong flood tide
sight upon the shoal. The stream anchor was got
lut, but the wind and tide counteracted all attempts
heave off the ship. At high tide the ship was
UN. and yards and top,-masp.e struck Neat
March 24. the CRETAN and Loma= came to
aasistancecand at high wwg DU mil Wat nude iD

' .

order to folio' her over the shoal, but without success.
The Sweabourg, however, got off, and anchored in
deep water. ,All this day, while the crew were using
every exertion to lighten the ship, the shells from a
battery to the westward of the Rammekins were fall-
ing in ever?, direction round the ship, the officers and
men exhibuing the most undaunted courage and
firmness in this trying scene, and never for an instant
interrupting their labours.
,Meanwhile the NYMPHEN
frigate, Captain HANcoCK, anchored close ahead of
the ANTELOPE, and within range of shot from Wal-
clieren ; and the end of her bower cable was got on
board the ANTELOPE, for the purpose of heaving her
off, if possible, next high water. The enemy now
redoubled his fire, and shot and,shells were inces-
santly poured at the NYMPHEN and ANTELOPE, but,
strange to say, without producing any material effect.
One shell burst in the centre of a cluster of boats,
without injuring a single person. The undaunted
boats' crews only returned three huzzas, and coolly
went on with their work.

All efforts were this day also ineffectual, and even
in the night the enemy kept up their tire from the
mortar batteries. On the 3d of March, at tea in the
forenoon, the ship was fortunately hove off, amidst
showers of shot and shells, without much injury, and
to the utter mortification of the enemy, who had con-
sidered her as lost. Too much praise cannot be be-
stowed on Captain BUTCHER, his officers, and men,
for their steady courage and unwearied exertions ;
while Commodore OWEN, and Mr. DOUGLAS (Mas-
ter of the Fleet, who went in the Antelope,) most
ably and judiciously united their efforts in the com-
mon cause. Captain HANCOCK displayed his usual
zeal and ability in placing the Nymphen in an admi-
rable though dangerous situation, for heaving the
Antelope off the shoal. Admiral Scorr, from South
Beveland, arrived on board at the instant of her start-
ing from her position. Thus this boasted and nar-
row channel, bristled on each side with cannon of
the widest calibre, was forced in the open day.

DUTCH PAPERS.

ROSENDAAL, MARCH 10.

On Tuesday morning, at ten o'clock, about three
thousand English troops broke up from hence and
the places adjacent, furnished, it was understood, with
storming ladders and other preparations for an attack,
but the object of their destination was kept a secret.
We have since learned, that on the above day they
marched to Halteren, between Steenbergen and Ber-
gen-op• Zoom, and on the following night executed a
well planned, but in its result a very unfortunate at-
tack upon Bergen-op-Zoom.
About eleven at night, a thousand of the troops
approached the fortress with the greatest stillness, and
having, it appears, successfully crossed the ditches,
they climbed the walls, and penetrated into the town.
In the mean time the rest approached the gate, and
seeing it open, they thought they could enter in safety.
The enemy, hpwever, who had probably made use
of the same spies who had served the English, were
previously aware of the whole, and had taken their
measures in consequence.
Their garrison was in readiness to attack on all
sides the Inglis's. troops who had got over the walls,
while at the same time, with cannon placed in the
cross streets, they opened a fire of grape shot on the
troops that had entered the gate. The contest was
continued for a considerable time within the town,
with desperate valour, but with unequal means ; and
at last both the troops which had scaled the walls,
and tliose which entered the gate, were compelled to
retreat, with very considerable loss in killed, wounded
and prisoners.
With real sorrow, we have seen return here a part
of the English troops, who by their excellent conduct
had gained all hearts, and lament severely the horri-
ble treachery of which they have been the victims.
