Dispatches, of which the :,.iluwing are copies, hove been receilted at this 015 , ..e trom Sir Richard John Strachan , Bart. K.B. Rear Admiral of the White, &c. ailirtsfied to the Hoaourabk Wil liam Wellealey,l'ole. Sin, Kaitiaroo, in the West Scheldt, off Ike 'Lbw, August i 1 , 1809. _ I beg leave to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that ...at this moment going up to Bathe, in South Be vciand, which has been attacked by a strong detach ment of the enemy's 8°611.1, and which by Sir Richard Keats's reports, consists of two frigates, one bearing a Vice-Admiral liag, 30 brigs,' 8 tuggers or schoo ners, ...nd 11-gun-boats. I was under the necessity of detaining our flotilla to prevent supplies being thrown into the garrison at Flushing. ar.d to assist. In cutting off its coinmunica tion with Cadsand, which service was effectually done, except during the late heavy gales, which drove the gun-boats from their stations, and prevented our strip , entering the Scheldt, from the circumstance of the.i not being able to weigh their anchors. Since the wea ther has moderated, the wind has provokingly drawn round to the South East, which is• the only obstacle that pr.,. : eats Lord Wm. Stuart with a squadron of ten heavy frigates, passing Flushing, as well as Rear. Admiral Lord Gardner, with the effective line-of battle ships, taking up the anclyirage in Dykeshook Bay, where I intend his Lordship shall reinain,with a view of having the assist:nice of that squadron in our further operations against the.enemy, and eventually to proceed np the Scheldt. - The divisions of the army under the Earl of Ros• lyn and Marquis of Huntley landed on South Beve land on the 9th. The cavalfY and ordnance ships with the brigs and some sloops of war, have passed through the Slough, into the WestScheldt, and are now availing them selves of every. favourable tide to proceed to Bathz.— I am also endeavouring to warp the Pallas and Circe through by the same Channel, and with every proba bility of success.. Sir Home Popham was detached with some gun vessels for the purpose of sounding the River, and of' joining Sir Richard Keats at Bathz. The batteries are not yet ready to open on Flush ing, therefore I hope to be here again in time to co operate with the army in the attack on that garrison. I am concerned to add, that the enemy has cut the Dyke to the right of the town, and the Island is likely to be inundated. I have ordered Rear-Admiral Otway to send the Monmouth and Agincourt to Eng land for water, as soon as they can be got down from Zterickzee • and earnestly intreat that other means may be adopted for supplying the army and navy from England, as I - apprehend all the water in this island will be spoiled by the inundation, and that there is not more in the other Islands than is necessary for thesubsistence of the inhabitants. _ Their Lordships must be aware that in this exten sive and complicated service, it is impossible for me to enter so fully into detail as I could wish, especially as our arrangements must vary in proportion with the movements of the enemy. In my absence I have directed Rear-Admiral Ot way to superintend the several duties relative to the investment of this Islands and to correspond with the, Admiralty on all matters of service. Captain Dobbie, into acteJ it the Callas &Kit% 1- t h e as e h c i o f c a ptain Seyinour, is the beater: oi l this dispatch. He had air lag far sante time in.that ship, and has been particiA'rly attentive to the public service. - In Consequence of the protiacked siege of Flushing and the necessity for the - flotilla going up the Scheldt, I have ordered guns from the ships of war to fit 20 , transports as gun-flips, and with the launches of the ships under Rear-Admiral Otway, to form a flotilla for the lower part of the Scheldt, which t trust their t Lordships will approve. You will please likewise to inform their Lordships that Lord Gardner has ordered tte Centaur and The• seus to cruize off the Texel. • • 1 have the honour to be, ke. (Signed) R. J. S.:ItACHAN. Xsnpron, In the West Scheldt, Ang::,2,1801 Sin—Having directed the frigates named hz the margin*, to proceed up the West Scheldt, under t;ie orders of Lord Wtn. Stuart, Captain of the Lavini4. the moment the wind was favourable, that zealous Officer availed himself of a light air from the west-, ward on the afternoon of the lltninst. notwithstand ing the tide was against. his proceeding, and passed the batteries between Flushing and Cadsand ; the ships were under the enemy's tire nearly two hours. The gallant and seaman-like manner in vrhick this squadron was conducted, and their steady and well. directed fire, excited in my breast•the wannest seusa. tions of admiration. The army witnessed their exer tions with applause, and I am certain their Lordsh;ps will duly appreciate the services of Lord William Stuart, the Captains, Officers, seamen, 4nd.marines, on this occasion. No very material accident happened, except by a shell striking I'Aigle, and which fell through her decks into the bread room, where it exploded ; one Mill was killed and four others wounded ; her stem. frame is much shattered.

Fort Bathz, August 11 Sir—l have the honour to inform you, that, in pur suance of your directions, I arrived at Bathz yester day, and in order to render, if practicable, an attack on the - leaemes flotilla more crimplete, I ordered_ thirty flat boats armed with carronadcs, and some other boats from the ships under my orders, to rendezvous aCtliis place, and meet the flotilla under Sir. Home Popham, but before the arrival of either, six of the enemy's gun-boats having grounded on a bank within reach of the artillery of the fort, after sustaining some injury by it, were abandoned ; five of which were de stroyed, and the other brought in. The arrival of Sir Home Popham and 'my boats from the East Scheldt took place nearly at the same time, but the enemy's flotilla moved up to Lillo with the same tide that brought ours to Bathz, one of which was handsomely burned by the ad.yanced gun boats almost amongst them. As the navigation of the West . gclieldt is now open as far as it can pos s iblyl e c l eare d b y t h e navy, and a flotilla force of upwards of fifty sail in the Last Scheldt demand attention, and I can at any time re turn in a few hours to this Place, it is my intention to repair this morning to the Superb, where I have or dered the boats of my division. Sir Home Popham is examining the chanrels. Although we are now masters of the navigation to Lillo, it may be proper to observe, that it is in the enemy's power, by sending a superior naval force, to deprive us of it, as: far as Bathz, (before some I.:rBer ships ascend,).whenever he pleases.

I have every reason to be satisfied with the judic oils manner in which the General Officers have d rected the several operations, as well as with the Si) rat and intelligence manifested by the conmuldi , ' o! leers of corps, and the zeal and ardour of all rank.. of officers.- It is with great pleasure I can report tic tinifornt good conduct of the troops, who have not only on al' occasions shown the greatest intrepidity in presen , of the enemy, but have sustained, with great please: and chearfulness, the laborious duties they have to perform. The active hill persevering exertions of the ccr, of Royal Engineers have been csinducted with lute:, skill and judgment. by Colonel Fyers, aided by tenant Colonel D'Arey ; and it is impossible for n, to do sufficient justice to the distinguised cordu:t 4 the officers and men of the Royal Artiilerv, the able direction and animating example of Bri o dier General MtLeo4. The Seamen, whose labours had already been useful to the army. sought their reward in a fur."'.- opportunity of .distinguishing themselves ; and o:: of the battex;es was accordingly entrusted to then] and which• they served with admirable vigour at , effect. I must here beg to express my strong sense of tli constant antittyrdial co-operation of the navy on a! occasions ; and my warmest acknowledgments ar most particularly due 4o Captain Cockhurne, of a Belleisle, commanding the flotilla, And to C:lrtai Richardson, of the Caesar, commanding the brigail of seamen landed with the army.
