Letters from Antwerp dated the 2Olh
announce the arrival of the Duke of Or
leans nnd Nemours, and Marshal Gerard
without the city with 5000 troops, aud
40,O 900 more are expected. Nothing
could be done until the 26th, as the
French army, would not be enabled to
throw up their heavy guns until that time.
The French officers say that they can
take the citadel in ten days, but the gen
erai opinion was that it would be work
Of much greater length of lime. Two
thirds OF the Inhabitants had left, and those
who remained bad taken the precaution Of
filling all their ranks, cisterns, SC. with
water, in case the town should be fred.
The agent for Lloyd's states that no in
terruption had been offered to vessels GO
ing up or returning from the river, all be-
ing allowed to pass the Dutch gun boats.
Very little hope was entertained that any
between the pazties would be
effected. 42,872 infantry, and 1858
cavalry, had passed through Malines and
Boon.

Rumors are still aHoat here Of the in
tention Of Prussia to take part against
France, and in support Of Holland, but in
the best informed circles they are. not be-
.Iievrd. Prussia is taking no more than

would take under present circumstances.
