AUGUST 13, 1900. POLITRW EI'ESTS OF THE WEEK. • ' Me events Or the List week have been of cons4lerable itrife,yriance.

Another error, (at least it appears sijsti 'to us), is the waste of his zarrison iu fruitless sorties against ' an enemy so very superior. iu numbers. If aay hope ofrel• lief present itself to the mind of this Officer, we should conceive it must arise kola a protracted, rather than Woody defence. : • The enemy'* fleet ;ma retired above Antwerp, bul we have great doubt if it will be possible to prevent its cap. titre or destruction. Sir Jonlv Flom; was said to be half way upon his road on Thursday. The Marijuis of lioturT Lay has proceeded to South Beveland with his division, so that 30,000 men are before this time in the neighbourhood Antwerp. The garris,on of Bergen-op-Zoom consists . of .ibout 7000 men, to these we may ads! about 30,000 more,- ‘‘ Isla . BERNADOTTE is said to have colk'tcd.—Some fort*, Poorly garrisoned, lie oa the banks of the river; but the town Ls too large and populous for defence, were tbe army more numerous, or of a description more military or in timidating. BERNADOTTE, we 114 heard, went from Vienna to paris, hut we did not hear of any troops following him. We :are net aware from what quarters succours can be sent to augment this army. The Flemish coast 1.5 almost, bare of soldiers, if we .except the untrained, and, perhaps we may add, disaffected Conscripts, The Duke of Aatt.wras is said to be expected with thirty thousand men. Now JUNOT commanded in Saxony the troops of JEROME BEDNAPARIVE, which could scarcely make head against .the little corps of General Aca-Evoc„ and the Duke of BRUNSWICK Ori.s, and King Jr.aos,ta is obliged to hasten back to his own territories to quell the growing spirit of insurrection. LE FEVRE is also-said . to be marching to Antwerp at the head of twenty thou sand men. We do nut recollect that LE FEVRE, who was t Ikea prisoner in Spain„ has been yet exchanged. if the Duke of liiktv•rzic be meant, he was very lately with th. 7. grand ariey near Vienna, and it does not appear that the negociationt; with the Emperor of AL:64IIA have attaiaed that point which will enable BEONAPATE to .direct hie attention to the mouth of the Scheldt,. or to detach any considerable part of his army to its protection. rt has been intimated that Government propose to retain permanent possession of Witicharen. 11 is certainly most important station, comsnanciing the mouths of the Scheldt, the Meuse, and the Rhine, and capable e( interrupting the extensive coasting trade of France and Holland. It is, on the other hand, objected to this supposition, and to the practicability of this scheme, that the Dutch waters weile frozen during the winter, when Holland was invaded by the,French ; butt, surely we are not to calulate upon the eternal subserviency of the elements to the designs of the enemy! ! The Danube has not been very complaisant to the Em peror in person ! ! Our Expedition has certainly succeed ed iu its first object, and as to its final success, we risk but little in asstnning, that it will accomplish whatever British valour can effect. But if any hopes have been entertainei of exciting the fallen spirit of Holland and the north of Ger many, we - conceive that there hopes must now be relin• quished. The Dutch, we fear, will neither take up arms for themselves nor for us. They have been squeezed, plundered, and exhausted of their ,public spirit. They expect nothing from war, and . are perhaps generally wit. ling to wit:loge the fluctuation; of a republic fog the nut. AUG. 13.
