BREDA, MARCii 10.

The day before yesterdAy the English made an
unsuccessful attack upon Bergen•op.Zoom, which
cost them about 1500 men in killed and wounded :
among the killed is a General, and among the wound-
ed another General and several Colonels.

It is said, that a plan of the French has been dis-
covered, to form a junction out of Walcheren and
Batt, with the garrison of Bergen-op-Zoom, and af-
terwards, at the same time with the garrison from
Antwerp, to make an attack on the English lines,
which stretch from Breskaat to the Scheldt.

The Dutch are now posted at Zandvliet and Os-
sendrecht.

DORT, MARCH ii.

The day before yesterday entered here4oo Germans
ot the regiment of Orange Nassau, who came over
from the French at Bayonne, and landed in trans-
ports from England. They have been marched to
Bois-le-duc.
The Dutch Papers contain three official reports,
dated from the Head-quarters of the Grand Allied
Army. The first report is dated Troyes, Feb. '2'2d.
After mentioning the various affairs in which Mar-
shal Blucher's army was engaged from the 10th to
the 13th, it says :
" The Marshal's object to ;repose upon the enemy
by his advancing so tar, was attained ; and not to
endanger himself farther by separate battles with a
great superiority of force, he retired towards his old,
position at Chalons, where he again formed a junc-
tion with the corps of Yorck and Sacken.
" In the mean time, the Grand Army, which by
its position at Troyes was in possession of the Upper
Seine, by means of two advanced corps made itself
master ot all the points for crossing the Seine, from
Merpto Montereau, and even posted some detach-
ments on the right bank of the Stine, to observe the
enemy, and, on their advance, retire upon the main
army at Troyes. 1 hese corps spread themselves be-
tween Fontainebleau and Melun. Nemours was taken
by Count Platoff, after an obstinate fight, in which
about 1000 prisoners were taken.
" These movements had their effect. The enemy
who,_ with his main force, was pushing the Silesian
army, became alarmed for his right wing, and his
communication with the capital ; and this compelled
him quickly to leave she bank.' of the Marne, and
approach in all haste the Seine."
The report then details the affairs at Nangis and
Montereau, in consequence of which the Grand Army
-etired, and proceeds thus
" With the view of frustrating the object of the
ii-r„ which was to fall upon separate corps with
'-toning force,, Prince Schwartzenberg or.
-%'^r. who had united his corps. at

dcrecl Marshal


Chalons, again to come into action, and with his
army to move back upon Arcis-sur-Aube, and thence
upon Mery : while at the same time the Grand Army
was assembled at Troyes, there to "cross over to the
right bank of the Seine."
MILITARY REPORT.
Head-quarters, Bar-sur-Aube, February 25.

" The movement tcr the right bank of the Seine
was effected on the 23d, in the presence of the enemy.
Troyes alone remained occupied on that day ; and in
the direction of Sens was the light division of Prince
Lichtenstein, supported by the 3d army corps under
Count Giulay.
" On the 2 tth, the enemy's whole force covered
the heights of Troyes ; our advanced posts retired
into the suburbs ; and on the road to Sens an action
took place with our cavalry merely, which supported
its old renown, and repulsed all the enemy's attacks.
"At night-fall the enemy occupied the suburbs of
Troyes, which we had evacuated. He ventured three
attacks upon the city, which.were repelled by the va-
lour of General Volkmann and his brigade.
" The enemy at last prOposed a convention for
evacuating the city, which was no longer of import-
ance to us, as the army had already taken up its po-
sition on the other bank : thus was Troyes delivered
up to the enemy next day, at•six in the morning.
" Count Giulay, and the division Lichtenstein, re•
tired towards Bar-sur-Seine, in which direction they
were followed by some cavalry regiments of the ene-
my, which durst not, however, attempt any decided
attack on the united masses of the corps.
" In the mean time, Marshal Blucher, by a rapid
movement towards the Marne, execute:l.a part of the,
grand plan, according to which offensive operations
were to be carried on with activity, and in great
masses. He crossed the Aube at Baudemont, with
three pontoons, to attack Marshal Manumit, who, on
the 24th, was still at Sezanne.

" Generals Bulow, Winzingerode,Woronzow, and
the Duke of Weymar, are in communication with the
corps of Marshal Blucher, who has taken the com-
mand of this numerous army, and has begun his ope-
ratious in the rear, and on the left wing of the enemy."
gg HEAD-QUARTERS, CCU/NMI', MARCH 2.

" The assembled corps of Marshals OudinMt, Vic-
tor, and Macdonald, united with the cavalry division
of Generals Milhaud and Nansouty, attacked on the
27th ult. our position on the Aube, which was de-
f4lcied by the Gth army corps, under Count Wittgen-
stein, and the sth under General Wrede.

" The attacks of the enemy, who had received pe-
remptory orders to force this position, were very se-
vere ; Bar.sur-Aube was taken by him ; he had oc-
cupied the heights of Arconval and the wood of
Levigny, with the apparent view of carrying the
heights of Veraonfait, which was the centre of our
position.

" As soon as our columns were formed, and in
readiness to march, the Commander in Chief, who
was with them at the very commencement of the ac-
Lion, ordered a general attack nn all the points occu-
pied by the enemy. The advanced posts of Count
Wittgenstein were withdrawn upon the reserves of
Prince Gortschakoff, while General Pahlen, with his
cavalry, supported by the infantry of Prince Eugene
of Wurteniberg, penetrated over the heights of Aren-
tiere and Levigny, in the rear of the enemy.
At the same time the reserve infantry and the
division of Russian cuirassiers, drove the enemy from
the heights of Vernonfait, which he hadmastered by
a warm attack.

The enemy's cavalry thrice chArged, to cover
their flying infantry ; Wan well-timed fire of grape-
shot from the Russian artillery posted there, drove
them back in disorder. The enemy still occupied the
heights of Arvinval with strong masses ; but a well-
ordered flank march of General Volkmann's, ;n con-
cert with another, under the direction of the Bavarian
Coloncl Hertling, expelled him from this position
also. At the same time, General Wrede stormed
and took possession of Bar-sur-Aube. The victory
WAS decided ; and the enemy fled in disorder to-
wards Vandceuvres, which is already occupied by
our troops.

•' The field of battle was covered with the enemy's
dead : more than 800 prisoners, whose numbers are
every hour increasing, and among whom is Colonel
Moncey,, the brother of the Marshal, two pieces of
cannon, and some hundreds of muskets, are the fruits
of this brilliant day. All the troops maintained their
old renown. The Commander in Chief and Count
Wittgenstein were both slightly wounded.
44 While the main army of the enemy has thus been
kept employed, Marshal Blucher,' in conformity to
the preconcerted plan, has penetrated through Se-
z,tnne to Epernay, driven back all the posts ot Mar-
shal Marenont, and thrown a bridge over the Marne.
66 enemy, in consequence of the manoeuvres of
the Allied Armies, has been compelled to separate
his torce, and is gone in person against Marshal
Blucher, the direction of whose march must give rise
to great event."
