It would have fallen long since- had it not besn for the great exertions made by hint. “ It is a great pify, that that coun try is’ not settled, for it is one of the finest in the world,—-the lands are ve ry rich.” \CjT We published in part of our last impression, a letter fron Col. 1 fawkins to a gentle m in in this place dated Creek Agency 3• st May, sta ting that information had been re ceived lrom John Sqddam, a respec- { table half breed chief who H veS low \ down on the Chatahooche river* of the arrival at the mouth of the Appa lachicola in Florida, of two thousand British who were building j houses and had called upon the.indi-, uns to join them, which all the towns had done. The news it is said is be lieved by their Chiefs, who are very uneasy and have sent an intelligent Indian down the river to ascertain iheffacts.

All the formi •tlable materiel of war moved on to “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) art tempted to carry it by assault ; tfcey were repulsed and left about a 4 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 fbre adyar ed fr6m ife canton men: «m the 6th and 7th, towards Ant Werp, the head quarters being a- Culm bout. On the Bth it suddenly marched to Fort Lillo and Bergen- i all these places’ being eniy a fewliours march from eactv oilier, the 1 object proposed ’to be at tacked was given out to be fort i>‘tlto,* which lies between Bergen and Ant wfrrp.

The” other brigade, of the 55th, 661 h and 3Sd, andfsome of the 21st H )d 37th, also assaulted by-escalade, * bat was vigorously opposed. The 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 sion ; it rallied, lined the houses on each side the street, and enfiladed them With grape jjipt and howitzer 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 but they met nothing but showers of grape, canister-shot bullets; Alidost all the brigade was laid - prostrate ; nor did the other brig- i ade suffer less, though they only j gained the ramparts; th short, it * was very like the Buehos Avres bu siness, inly that no blame can pos- < sibiy attach to our b*rave veteran < Commander: ih fact, nothing could s , be better planned than the attack* or more heroically executed.” The two leaders, Generals Gore and Skerret. were literally pierced with b tils The first fell dead on of slam, but gen.
