" DovER, FEBRUARY. 21.
. Bet Ween twelve `and one o'clOck this morning, an Officer
went to the Ship lan, and ordered s chaise-aril-;our for Town,
and stared off almost Iturnediarely. He said lit: had just ar-
rirsd in l'Aigle French vessel or boat, PI en Rt. De:c.11.14 master,
front Calais, and was charge.) with the intelligence that Bottn-
rAll re had been kiilecl fa battle; and lie dibpatzhed an express
to Deal to connosnicate this intallifence to Admiral Toter, awd
to beg, that ln case the boat In which he came over should be
brought into the Downs by any of his cruizers, that he would
direct her to be rdeastd and ale wed to proceed back to Calais.
hit news, of course, was noked ainfitt .early in the morning,
and obtained fOlat little credit ; but the Officers of the P?rt not
hitt:lt:seen this Officer, caused some suspicion that it Tea false.
However, on inquiry at the Ship, it wis found a#S be wilibeve
%Iced; and on the return of the Post-boys front Canterbury,
they vieretpestioned about the Officer, but they could give no
ler account than that lie was in a great hurry to get out, and
bad given each of them a Louis, and desired them to tell Mr.
Watoirr, at the Skip, to provide the men who brought hits over
With what they might require, should they be sent in here, and
he would repay him when be again came down, which would bein a few days.
" In sooteittenee of this intelligence-being•eortmlunicated in
the atanuer I have stated, the Officers of the Customs have been
endeavouring to find out where the Officer landed ; but diesels
sop-r.on knows where he came on shore, nor was the boat soar
by any one. One of the watchmen took him to the Ship lase
baring stet him in the street.

a &mow,- with the greater part of the Prussian
fora, being in advance at Brussels, and the British
troops not exceeding 7000 men,. the garrison of Ant-
werp, consisting of about 12,000, made a sortie, and
succeeded in obtaining possession of fsferxham. The
British troops retreated; on Sunday morning, the 6(1,
the artillery left Mash:in), and on Monday passed
through West Wesel. Sir THOMAS GRAHAM'S head-'
quarters are now back at Groot Sundert, and the
army occupies the line it did rreviously to its advance
on Antwerp. It is supposed it will now go into
winter-quarters.
'An eye-witness describes the British as having
displayed great atilitY and judgment in their firing,
during the whole of the attack ; the French artillery
as being very badly served ; they appeared to hit
every thing but whit they aimed at ; yet from the-
length of the attack, and the number of shots final,
they did considerable execution • the loss of the Bri-
tilh amounts to five hundred. The attny;which be-
fore the advance upon Antwerp anioinited to '8C(.00,
is ntrw reduced, by killed, wounded, and sick, to 7.000
effective troops.
" That part of the Saxon corps which occupied
Groot Sundert has marched forward ; it will occupy
a convenient position, and, together with the British
troopS, keep Antwerp in a state of blockade. The
Saxons make a very fine military appearance, but
commit as. many excesses as the Cossacks.
" On the 7th IStmow's head-quarters wcre ai Brus-
gel% the Duke Of CLARaNCL is with him, and, it is
said,, means to enter France with that General's
torpi.".
