A serious affair had taken place a few days before
At Wimevegen, with tbeSpeniatils there, who, after
having been made prisoners of war, had entered into
.the French service, and refused to march to Greve.
On Tuesday, the 30th of November (the day on
which that town wart stormed), the retreating
French had arrived in the greatest disorder at Nime-
seen. According to the report of the fugitives, a
greater number were drowned in'passing the Rhine-
bridge, than is as yet known. The Duke of Tares-

a reconnoissance, and came so near, 4,4 several

The whole garrison of this place, consisting 6f
800 men, both coast artillery and minas, and
other troops, were immediately in motion, and a
field-piece was planted over the gate.
When it began to grow dark, the Cossacks made
a movement towards the Gennick Gate, which threw
the garrison ii4o such.dreed and confusion, that Ge.
neral Ambert, .who had some days before been. ap-
pointed Governor of Breda, fearing that hisvetreat
aught be cat .off, determined on quitting the city,
and actually commenced doing so, at about three
o'clock in the plaguing. . .

The Sub-Prefect having given notice to elle Acting
Mayor of this evacuation, the latter immediately con-
sidered on giving the necessary orders for Pieserving
the tranquillity of the city during theevacuatioh; and
at half past seven o'clock yesteiday evening sammoited
all the principal inhabitants to assemble at the Lower
House. In a small space of time ,upwards of 200
Gentlemen bad assembled, who immediately farmed

At ten o'clock General Steal arrived with a small

At half-past ten o'clock we saw 1500- more Cos-
sacks enter the town, and every one was now per-
fectlyconvinced that n o enemy would dare to approach
us again, the reliance on General Steal, who kept
exceeding good discipline, being general.
Thus did Breda, one of the most principal for-
tresses for the defehce of Holland against France,
see herself released, ,without the least bloodshed,
from the tyranny under which it has groaned f0r.19
years past, and her brave burghers look with impa-
tience for the asoment in which the lawful Lord and
Baron shall issue his (Inlets for the purpose of bar.

,-free from the contagion. The anticipated event with
respect to Ant*erp and its shipping, will be a very
;eassiderable feature is the countenance of the coati-

Dental war, which we think is, really verging towards
a close. The Emperor of AUSTRIA. and the Prince
of Murree must be peculiarly, though differently,
affected in this nice part of the present hostility,
which, es it proceeds, awakens individual anxiety
in the !wend powers in the coalition, and conse.
rineistly dimieishes that seal and energy, which have
curled all of them on by an unanimous impulse
so far.

A very extraordinary state of things has super-
vened in the political warfare with some of our co-
temporaries. These latter have become the adver-
saries at the Allies, and it falls to our share to
defend them* from their illogical wordy attached.—
While we are doing this, however, it may be seem-
eery to particularise the Courier, as more especially
aimed at by us ; for we muse he caeslid enough to
say, that some of the hitherto 'kac-faction
have abandoned their associates, now honestly con-
fessing that peace K desirable, aedstill wave, that it
is attainable, though the interested Couriii•still bel-
lows out that " peace with BONAPARTE is impractica-
ble." But this, pert didactic Jaern.al, firs doubt-
ing the authenticity of the Declaration of the Allies,
dated from Frankfort, next asks its Readers, how
they shall explain the inconsistency of the above
State Paper with the one published by the Emperor of
AUSTRIA at the rupture of the Armistice ? Now, the'
the quere is put by the Courier to its Readers, yet
it is presumptuous enough to believe it can
answer it better than all those together who pe-
ruse its columns, otherwise, if the writer were mo-
dest, it might expect to be told that circumstances

reconcile at once that seeming inconsistency. Bo-
NAMITI, or any other Chief which might have
happened to be at the head of France, could, very
consistently, wish for peace at the end of a campaign,
which he had no desire to negotiate for at its com-
mencement. But this insolent oracle of the most vicious
of all war.factions that ever cprsed this country, is
consistent in itself, so far as to say downright,—

long otherwise were the Allies to war, and
where were they to stop ? We are not apt to ascribe
baser motives than the real ones to any political de-

We can easily Imagine the amount of the terror I

apprehension of the loss of (ride he would sustain,

the loyal inhabitants by Lord G. STUART, of the
