POSTSCRIPT.
The only Dews front Antwerp, this morning, consists of,a, rvuiitnmi- cation made, or intended to he made, to Baron I '11AssE, that if he be - content to admit the neutrality of the city, the French will not enter it if he hesitate to bend himself thus fr, the !eateries in front of it will be immediately occupied, and the attack will be made from that side as well as its opposite. The ultimate summons had nut been given at the date of the last aceounts( Thursday, noon) ; the cannonade, it was ex- peeted, would commence on the :)7th .('rue.sday next). The corre- • spondent of the Times mentions a very formidable engine, which he calls " an infernal machine," that is to he used against the citadel. It is a large cask, strongly hooped with iron. A cask is a very qedro-- priate weapon with which to subdue a Dutch garrison ; but instead of filling it with rockets or shells,- a prudent assailant would have filled it with right Schiedam. The French forces are, it is said, to receive such augmentations as will enable them not merely to act against the - citadel, but, in ease of need, to oppose any attempt of the Dutch to- enter the country.' They •are to have sonic ten or twelVa thousand, cavalry, which can only be employed against the Prince of ()HA NOB ; unless, indeed, they are to charge at the head-of the terrible cask.
