gatutflai? to jflUflnftag'g Ij-ooto. LONDON, DEC. 3. IN our last we announced that the Siege of Antwerp had commenced. We now proceed with our nar- rative of the operations since. At one o'clock on Saturday, the 1st inst. the French liad pushed forward the approaches from the parellel the heads of which were within musquetry fire, and to their astonish- ment they had been suffered to advance almost unmolested. One battery only was occasionally fired upon. During Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday night, the Dutch con- tinued firing about 30 shells an hour. On Sunday, at 10 o'clock, they made a sortie with from 80 to 100 men, in order to make a reconnoissance, but they were driven back at the point of the bayonet, the morning being so wet that the muskets of the French would not go off. The French did not perceive the Dutch, who came from the Lunette de Kiel, till they were attacked, when the captain of the artillery of the battery No. 5, against which the attack was directed, ordered the charge, and he himself brought back one of the Dutch sergeants. The loss of the Dutch on this occasion was 12 killed, several wounded, who escaped, and 10 pri- soners, mest of whom were wounded; that of the French was but 3 killed, 5 wounded, and two sappers made pri- soners. It is imagined that these men were induced to tell where the principal part of the staff of Marshal Gerard were established, for, almost immediately after, the Dutch opened a heavy fire in the direction of the church of St. Laurent, through which more than 20 balls passed. The Dutch kept up a brisk fire of grape and canister shot, as well as 4 mortars from the Lunette de Kiel, and 4 from the Lunette de St. Laurent, the effect of which was hut of trifling importance till half past 1 in the morning of Monday. The Dutch made a second sortie at half-past 10 on Sunday night, in order to draw the mass of the French towards the point attacked, and as soon as the party retired a heavy firing commenced on that point, the road leading to Boom. On the evening of Sunday, Marshal Gerard sent anothe note to General Chass6, demanding a categorical reply re- specting the neutrality of the town. The answer was that Chass6 persisted in his previous demands. By the evidence of a Dutch prisoner, however, it would appear that Chasse does not intend to fire on the town. He stated that early in the morning all the guns which were pointed against the town had been removed and placed opposite to Montebello, for the purpose of firing on the batteries in that direction erected by the French. Unless provoked, Chass6 will not destroy Antwerp. He is said to have remonstrated against the occupation of Fort Montebello by the French. He con- tended that this fort belonged to the Belgians that it was erected by them, and armed by them and the first shot fired from its batteries would be considered as an aggression on the part Of the Belgians. He also complained of the taking or Forts St. Philip and St. Marie by Gen. Sebastiani, for the purpose of cutting off his communication on the Scheldt. Gerard seemed regardless of irritating Chasse, so long as he steered clear of encroaching on the treaty of the 22d;()fOctobe:r, by entering the city. The Dutch continued firing during the whole of Sunday night. Monday afternoon the Dutch made a third sortie, and with no greater success than the two former. The French had constantly 6,000 men under arms awaiting these sorties, and the Dutch, with their 500 or 600 men, stood but a poor chance against these formidable opponents. The French works were completed by seven o'clock on Monday, and it only reqmred the commands of Marshal Gerard to put the whole of the works into play. In the course of the night the batteries were unmasked, and by daybreak the muzzles were visible at the Citadel. The works nearly ap- proached to the glacis, and at Fort St. Laurent they were within a stone's throw of the walls. The French have had almost insurmountable difficulties to overcome in cutting their trenches and erecting then-batteries. The rain had been falling in torrents ever since they commenced opera- tions, and the men had been obliged to work with the water in some places two feet deep.— A.t nine o'clock on Tuesday morning an oiffcer carrying a flag of truce was dispatched to the citadal as the bearer of another summons to Chasse to surrender, informing him at the same time that all was pre- pared, and that at eleven o'clock precisely the fire would commence in case of refusal. At eleven o'clock a cannon-shot from Forte Montebello followed by a most tremendous tire of artillery, announced that the flag of truce sent to the citadel had brought back a negative. Along the whole line the discharge of cannon was kept up in regular succession with great exactness. The enemy answered with vigour. During the day the fire con- tinned, and was kept up with great vigour on the part of the assailants. Fort Montebello, which is an advanced work of the town, and which is, in the hands of the French, what those of St. Laurent and Kiel were in the hands of the Dutch, fired on Wednesday and the day preceding against the bastion of the Citadel called Pacedo. The citadel already exhibits external marks of injuries. A fire broke out in one of the buildings at half-past three o'clock, and the erections in the interior had been damaged by the shells. The works in the third parallel were ad- vancing. There had been a slight frost, and the French were in expectation of having strong ice to enable them to attack the Tete de Flandres. At two o'clock the firing had ceased for an instant. Since ona o'clock not a single report had been heard. The bad state of the ground, swamped by a continued rain of several days rendered frequent repairs of the batteries and roads necessary. In several places the horses and carriages stuck fast in the mud, and there was no getting on at all without :strewing the roads incessantly with fascines. The men were constantly occupied in relieving the horses and carriages; but this labour, so fatiguing, appeared to be borne with the usual gaiety of French soldiers.—Additional clothing has been distributed to the troops, but this remedy will prove insufficient, so long as arrangements are postponed for a better supply of firewood to those encamped. About three o'clock the firing re-commenced; and at half- past three continued, but the Dutch only fired from the fort of Kiel. At St. Laurent their batteries were destroyed. They suffered much from the fire from Montebello. The firing became languid again, and little was seen of the Dutch Mpon the ramparts. Theirartillerymenhave.suffered a great deal. They are now firing bombs merely from the citadel. The French fire often ignited the buildings, but its pro- fress was soon checked, and no material mischief has yet een done. Fort Montebello, and the trenches opposite the Nieuwen Buiten,appeared the only points firing upon the citadel, which aaswered them but languidly; all the other French batteries being directed against the Kiel and St. Laurent forts. Several houses in the village St. Laurent had been set on fire, and the church had sustained considerable damage. Hitherto the city has been respected, for not a single projectile has reached it. Several bombs, however, exploded on the esplanade, The place was calm, and the idle were to be seen in crowds in the streets, looking out for sights, and in- quiring for news. The theatre profitted by this curiosity, as its situation was among the best for seeing, and it could notatford accommodation tothose who came offering 75 cents for a momentary gratification. We subjoin an account of the operations until Thurs- day afternoon, from the private correspondence of the Morning Herald, the statements in which, being -strongly marked by Dutch partialities, must be received with adequate al10wance fierchem, Head-quarters of M. Gerard, Dec. 6, one o'clock. There was a pretty smart firing kept up nearly the whole of last night; at eight o'clock this morning it entirely ceased on both sides. About one o'clock, however, all doubts were removed; the firing has again commenced, and at the present moment I am writing amidst the thundering roar of cannon, the shouting of the military, and the rattling of ammunition- Waggons over the ill-paved streets of the village of Berehein. Although little mischief has been done by either side, still there was a necessity for some slight reparation and, as if by mutual consent, both parties ceased firing about the same time. I think you may with safety rely that the only in- juries sustained by the Dutch up to the present hour are the dismounting of some pieces on the Lunette St. Laurent, and the destruction of part of its embrasures. In the citadel the barracks erected near the city have been partially burnt; and one or two small houses have been struck by bombs. The French have had three guns dismounted at battery No. 3, and part of their works thrown down. The killed and wounded are inconsiderable. The French bombs are now brought into play, and it is expected that they will do much execution; hitherto the greater part of them have passed oyer the citadel, and fallen into the Scheldt. This circumstance having been noticed by General Desprez, he communicated it to the Marshal, and fresh instructions have been sent to the artil- lerymen. The Dutch bombs are well directed, and do mischief to the trenches, by throwing up the earth, but they do not burst in time to hurt the men this must either be from want of skill, or the short distance they are thrown. One of these bombs fell near the the Duke de Nemours, and completely covered him with mud. Marshal Gerard has also had a taste of their plastering propensities. I saw him this morning come out of the trenches literally one mass of mud. The soldiers appeared to enjoy the grotesque appear- ance of their Commander. Chasse continues acting on the defensive and the cool- ness with which he receives the fire of his enemy is certainly surprising. He has an immense artillery at his disposition and might, I should think, do prodigious execution, if he only began in earnest. It is generally believed that lie is reserving himself for to-morrow, the 7th there will, on that day, be a spring tide, and it is possible, and very probable, that the greater part of the French works may be inundated -it is then that he will shew his strength. The French were at work on the third parallel the whole of last night, and did not attack the Lunette St. Laurent, as was expected. The city of Antwerp continues to escape the bombs of Chasse; and it is almost certain that its neutrality will be respected. The principal points for Chasse are the free na- vigation of the Scheldt, and the neutrality of the Tete de Flandres. The Scheldt is free. I saw this morning the steam-boat, the Sarinum, leave the citadel, and sail towards Lillo. The THe de Flandres is in the same position as it was a month since, and not a French soldier is to be seen near it. A Dutch paper states that the fort of Lief kenshock, (a fort on the Scheldt, ten miles below Antwerp, and which, with Fort Lillo on the opposite side, is the key to and commands the navigation of the river), has also been summoned by the French, and that the reply of the Commandant, Capt. Hennij, was "that it would only be surrendered on receiving orders direct from his Government.It would appear from this, observes the Courier, that the Dutch Government contemplates two things; the one, the surrender of the citadel of Antwerp—the other, a protracted resistance of its "dependencies." The reply of Capt. Hennij clearly implies, that he should not consider the surrender of the city by Gen. Chasse as including the dependency under his command, From all this the intention of the most obstinate resistance on the part of the Dutch may be inferred. Moreover; the defence of Fort Lillo, the approaches to which have been laid under water, has been committed to the charge of a most distinguished engineer, Col. Blake, whose command is also indepen- dent of Gen. Chasse. Thus the mastering of the cita- del would not give the command of the navigation of the Scheldt; and it may be observed, that its possession by the French or by the Belgians would not advance the matter in dispute between Belgium and Holland one jot towards a settlement. We learn that the conduct of Prussia is honourable and upwright in the extreme, and that the most pre- cise orders are given to the Commander of the Prussian troops to act in the strictest spirit of neutrality. An article in the Nuremberg Correspondent of the 30th ult., dated Vienna, Nov. 24, mentions that movements of troops are taking place in all parts of the Austrian empire. The writer, however, is of opinion, that Aus- tria will remain at peace. The funds at Vienna are steady, with a slight tendency to a rise. The French papers to Thursday are very barren of intelligence of political importance. There is scarcely any foreign news worth extracting. The Ministry, in every division of amendments to the Address in reply to the King's Speech on the opening of the Session, has been very triumphant; and the z!l repeated shocks to which it has been exposed seem but to confirm it in the influence which it had already obtained over the French Legislature. After worsting their opponents 11 el in a series of small encounters, the Ministry brought the Chamber to issue on Monday evening, by calling for its vote upon the ensemble of the Address to the King. Z7, The result was a decision in their favour of 233 voices against 119, leaving the large majority of 114 for the Court. The Address was presented to the King on Tuesday, to which his Majesty in reply said, all his wishes were for the liberty, prosperity, and glory of France, and that his Government was most anxious to accomplish that object. In allusion to the Belgian ex- pedition, he says, We shall soon see our soldiers, our children, return with honour to their country, and bring back from the banks of the Scheldt a new pledge of the preservation of peace. That day, which we wait with impatience, and which cannot be remote, will give the surest and most splendid demonstration of the wisdom of the system which we support together with so much perseverance. I thank you once more for the aid you grant to my Government, in assisting me to accomplish the wishes of France, and secure her destinies." It is stated in one of the Bordeaux papers that the French Government intends to submit to the Chamber, in the course of the Session, a project of law for the trial of the Duchess de Berri befor the Cham- ber of Peers. If the law pass, the trial will commence after the close of the Session. Meanwhile the Duchess is to be detained at Blaye, under the responsibility of Ministers. Accounts received from Italy state that the disaf- fected had organized small bands of insurgents, in the nature of guerillas, in the Roman States, and that a great national conspiracy for the general delivery of Italy has beeudiscorved. An eruption of Mount Etna took place on the 17th and 18th ult., which destroyed the town from which Lord Nelson's title of Duke (Bronti) was taken. The Gazette of yesterday afternoon announces that his Majesty has been pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon Rear-Admiral the Hon. Courtenay Boyle; and thatMajor-General Lord Harris has been appointed Colonel of the BGth Regiment of Foot, vice General the Earl of Kilmorey, deceased. Ministers, says the Record, are stated to be far from comfortable at the prospect of the return of so large a number of Radical candidates, and, rumours of a coali- tion between them and the Tories continue to be freely circulated in Ministerial circles Fudge! The Court of Common Council yesterday voted one hundred guineas in aid of the Expedition to the arctic regions in search of Captain Ross and his companions. The Common Council have passed a congratulatory Address to Chief Justice Denman on his elevation, and a deputation has been appointed to present it to the Learned Judge. The Bank Directors have issued notice that on and after the 6th inst. (Thursday last) they will be ready to receive applications for loans upon the deposit of Bills of Exchange, Exchequer Bills, East India Bonds, or other approved securities such loans to be repaid on or before the 15th of January next, with interest at the rate of three per cent, per annum, and to be for sums not less than 20001. each. In consequence of the many fatal accidents which have occurred on the river at Oxford, the authorities of the University have ordered that no member of that body be allowed to use a sailing-boat whenever a foul- weather shall be hoisted at the boat-house, Mr, Stultz, formerly the well-known tailor of Clif- ford-streei, who retired, to France a few years ago and was created Baron Stultz, died on the 17th ult. at his estate called Aires, in the ,south of France, after an illness of nine days. This estate cost him upwards of 100,0001. He had another large possession near Baden-on-the-Rhine, and also bore the Order of Maria Theresa, and title of Count Gothenburg. The'Baron had great wealth in the Bank at Vienna (Rothschild's). llJis property besides these estates exceeded 400,0001.
