Dozenias street, March l3, 1914
"MsJor the Honorable James Stanhopc
has arrived with Dispatches from Sir Thomas
Graham, (fhe Si0iier of 81. Sebasiian,) dated
the 10th and lth instant.
"They report the unfortunate result Of an
attack which was made upon Bcrgen-op-
Zoom by apart Of the British Army, under
the immediate command Of Major General
Cooke on the night OF the 9th lost.
"The attack was made in four colums, and
was attended in the first instance with much
success.-Two Of the colums penetrated into
the Fortress, and obtained possession Of the
ramparts with very little loss. But the left
column having fallen into disorder in conse-
quence of having lost its principal leaders, and
the right being weakened by the loss Of de-
achment OF the First Guards, which was GU:
off by the enemy, the resistance was renewed
with fresh vigour. Towards day light the
troops which held possession of the Antwerp
Gate retired from that importent point, and
the greater part Of the force remaining in tho
place was obliged to surrender, after making
gallant resistance.
The loss in this attempt has been severe
and several distinguished Officerishave suffer
ed. Among the killed are Brigadicr General
Gore, Lieutenant Colonels Clifton, Mercer,
and the Hon. J. M'Donald Of the guards
and Lieut.. Col. the Hon. George Carleton,
commanding the 44th regiment. Major
General Skerrctt was severely wounded and
made prisoner. Major General Cooke was
taken. The returns of the number lost
had no, been made up butit was calculated
that about 500 xen had been killed, and
1900 made prisoners, including considerable
number wounded.
"On the 10th of tMarch an agreement was
concluded with the governor of Bergcn.op-
Zoom for the Liberation of the prisoners; and
all men who were not wounded severely were
sent in consequence to the British canton-
meDts. They are TO re-cmbarked for Eng
land on condition of not serving until ex-
changed.
"The French garrison suffered severely in
conflict during the night of the 9Th, aud above
hundred prisoners were brought off by
that portion Of the British forces which made
good its retreat.
