ARNHEIM, October 20.

Every thing is in confusion at Nimeguen. The French succeeded in passing the Meuse in small boats without being observed by the English. They then pretended to be Hussars of Rohan, and attacked an English battalion near Druten, which they cut to pieces, so that no man escaped. Three thousand of the French were at once this morning as far as Bemmel, one league and a quarter from Nimeguen. The English army having received some reinforcement, both parties began an engagement which lasted till eleven o'clock. The cannonade then ceased and every body thought that the enemy had been expelled from that neighbourhood, but at half past one the combat was renewed with fresh vigour, and every body fled from the city. The baggage of the English army is at present between Arnheim and Nimeguen, and stops the communication between those two cities. A whole squadron of red French Hussars was thrown off a dam and cut to pieces. The head quarters of the English army will arrive this evening in this city.

P. S. According to later accounts, the attempt to drive the French from the country between the Meuse and the Waal has not succeeded. The duke of York arrived here this morning.
