We understand that the vice.roy having

posed to, them. The young chasseurs Of
the guard, having at their head the brave
colonel Poraldi, carried at the point of the
bayonet, the first gate Of the city, where
the enemy had entrenched himself This
success gave confidence TO the left of the

london, Feb 22,--It is with regret that
we have TO announce, that the last attack
upon Antwerp has failed.
The English troops under the command
o. Gen. Graham, have been obliged to

of their vessels with straw and sand, and
The snow falling, formed sort of plaster
Ing upon which the bombs falling, did not
occasion the least damage After great
loss OF time and ammunition, we perceived
that our fire, though we'll directed, did not
produce the least effect, & the cnemys bat
teries having killed a great number of our
men, Gen. Graham determined to cease
the attack. Our loss in this unfortunate
affair was about one thousand Bulow
