sterling. It is 24 inches in diameter.—There have been
guns dismounted in the counter-battery, of which the sita.a.,

breach being then practicable, Chasse offered to evacua,„.,tersrd
citadel provided he could get terms. To this Marshal rrtber,
sent an answer expressing his readiness to prevent the Laittre
effusion of blood. What -the terms were has not yet trunkulit•
here, but of the fact of the offer to surrender there is It° of er
Flys P. Al.—This place has been in the, highest state the
citement since the arrival of the intelligence to-day, at 1, „f

offer of Chasse to capitulate. Every one was busy with siara.,

policy to put, if possible, an end to all hostilities at one fort'
getting possession of the Tete de Flandres, and the other

dependent on the citadel; and, as he intimated in one "„rtof
letters, would wish to make the garrison prisoners, as a %ler
surety for the possession of the other forts. How far such
sure may be successful remains to be seen if the garrison 3wjer,
consent to the terms of unconditional surrender, but I u,!„111,1
stand that even if the citadel and the Tete de I:lamb-es su_fiv.j,
get into the possession of the French, it would not necesnor
follow that some of the other forts on the Scheldt would surreliiiiti
also. If they should hold out, the taking of them by force w°;
be a tedious business, as the country around them is under, µ.

Six O'CLOCK.—Nothing has yet transpired as to the mrd•

At the time the account which I now forward left the i"

FRANCE.
The Paris papers of Sunday, which have been received;
tain no news of importance. They are chiefly filled 16°15.415
ports from Antwerp, and private' correspondence from Bru,octi
and other quarters. The Chamber of Deputies was ellgarco,
on Saturday in hearing petitions, some of which were
lows enough. especially that of a man who styled him':it
