‘I gave you an account, m a for

tempts to take Antwerp by assault,

‘there. We failed because our force/
rt Was ; wholly inadequate, and because

We got a large supply of military
stiWgs lifer wit ha tpiahtity df
Congreve Kockets, some of which
played off with very fine effect
%rbtti the ramparts of Williamstadt,
in presence of our gallant comman
der Sir T* Graham. All the formi

“the advance of our ariny. and we fe
eeited*a recent reinforcement of twO
line reg’ts, the Ist royals, hnd the
31st from Straistmd. Every one ex-.
pected that another attack on the .
ffetl Would immediately take place,
and were anticipating the most fa
vorable result, when, this rhorning,
the arrival of a number of wbunded
men gave us to understand that the
attack was made, not upon Antwerp-,
But upon Bergerr-o p-Zoom. Ber
gvn-op Zoom is one of the strongest
towns in Europe. In former cam
"jaigns the French (l think in 1743)

Thousand of their men dead on the
g-keis, Marshal Saxe, however, re
frerwed the attempt, and took it by
stratagem. f We were encouraged
fd expect success, because it was
known that the French garrison
wished to evi«cuatyit, and to throw
itself into Antwerp ; and also that
‘the town’s people were all ’in our
’ interest. T|ie British army there

enemy raised up the ladders from
the top of the ramparts with hooks,
an.i dashed down the men upon the
frozen ditches ; the gates* however
were forced open from the inside,
and the greater part of the assailants
entered. The garrison, though sur
prised Was not thrown into confu

each side the street, and enfiladed

shells. Ihe guards were drawn up,
and prepared to fire by platoons,
when they were ordered to throw
out their priming, and to charge.—•
They advanced at the pas de charge
