A FLEET TAKEN BY A CHARGE OF HORSE.—At the time of
Pichegru's irruption into Holland (1795,) the frost was unpre-
cedentedly severe, and the 'rexel so completely ice-bound, that
he ordered some squadrons of cavalry to charge across the frozen
element, and capture the Dutch fleet locked up in it. They
accordingly clapped spurs to their horses' sides, surrounded the
ships, and made a caption of them at the first summons, though
their whole means of offence against a broadside were a few
hundred sables and hone-pistols! We believe that the occur-
rence stands Irithout a parallel in ancient or modern story.—
