The letters from Holland bring no particular news. Breda is in a manner invested by the French, who are advancing on all sides, but it is still said that the place, and all the frontiers, are well provided and in a good state of defence.
Private letters from the Head Quarters of Gen. CLAIRFAYT, say that the Combined Armies are about to recommence offensive operations against the enemy; and that there is no doubt, that, united as the Commanders now are in sentiment and good will, they will soon repossess themselves of those countries, which, it is at least allowed, were very weakly abandoned by the Prince of Cobourg. Gen. CLAIRFAYT's army will re-cross the Meuse, and effect a junction with the Duke of York. The remainder of the campaign will be continued with the utmost vigour. The combined armies are near 150,000 strong.
