Villeroy, who lay encamped at Gemblours, was no sooner apprised of this event by a triple discharge of all the artillery, and a running fire along the lines of the confederate army, than he passed the Sambre near Charleroy with great precipitation; and having reinforced the garrison of Dinant, retreated towards the lines in the neighbourhood of Mons.

Let us anticipate their movements by a little, and say that, having captured the fort a mere empty and cracked vessel they found themselves still faced by the French, who had retired only a short distance beyond it; and who, reinforced that very night by the 20th Corps as dashing a corps as ever existed counter-attacked with furious energy, and advanced their lines till they surrounded the captured fort on three sides, and held, indeed, a portion of the interior.
