ter from Antwerp, 27th, o'clock in the eve hing:
 We have just arrived. They are bombar5l ing Antwerp. Hot-shot and, grenades are fIyinv every where. Already several houses are o,' ,' tire.--l am writing from the hotel of the late Governor, and by the light of fearful fire. f. l is General Chase who thus takes leave of ,,s. he is anxious that the Dutch name be blessed to the last. The Dutch are in the citadel. w. have only field pieces to oppose their heavy eau. non. The condition of Antwerp is horribIe. The ships of war in the Scheldt have also con. menced cannonade; Congreve rockets are Hy- ing; new flames are bursting out every instant and our soldiers can only be lookers-on and aid those whose buildings are in flames. We are obliged to leave the government house. tlle fire pursues us; the Heavens seem a flames and thus the most awful crime is consummatjna without our being able to move or pull a tripaer The conditions of Brussels during the contest in Sept. is nothing to what is passing here. Bul. I lets and bombs are falling round at each instant. women and children are screaming through the streets, and we tear our hair with rage, for wa arc powerless. It is a most atrocous act ofyen. geance that the Dutch are exercising upon Ant. werp.
