. . • TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST' INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND Gee ri-trlev, • AVacancy having occurred in the East India Direction, I respectfully solicit the favour of your Votes and Interest, ilatt. I may be appointed to the honour of filling it. When I first declared my intention of offerint myself to your ewice, as a Candi‘:ate for the Direction, my hopes were founded, sol , •iy, upon the experience which you have had of my conduct, as a Proprietor. I should not, however, do Justice to the en conminely kind and flattering reception I have met with, if I did not, now, feel coofident that, by a continaation of such kindness, I shall be placed hi the honourable situation to which I aspire. I am still impressed with the importance of that situation, even its common times. But at this titne, with our Charter nearly ex piring, the Trust is of much mare than usual magnitude. If the part, which I have publicly taken in the Court of Proprietors, sluitild induce you to believe, that lain qualified to dischatge the peculiar:y important duties us a Director, I request the 1 onour of your support. • • I cannot conclude this Address without expressing my slut( re c..neem at theloss which we have all sustained, by the death of Sir Williatn Bentley. I have Ineg known and valued him ; and, upon many occasions, I have experienced his friendly disposition to wards me. lf, by your favour, I shall he appointed to fill the vacancy which his death has occasioned, I shall bear in mint'. and endeavour to imitate his many excellent qualities, and, particu larly, his Inflexible integrity.

ADMIRALTY-OEIIM DEC. tz. Vice-Admiral Lord Collingswood has transmitted to this office a letter from the Hon. Captain Duncan, of his Majesty's ship Mercury, giving an account of the boats of that ship having, on the 7th of Septem ber last, under the direction of Lieutenant Pall, boarded and carried, without any loss, in the port of Barletta, the French schooner of war, la Pugliese, of seven guns, and 37 men, protected, in addition to her own force, by a castle, two armed feluccas, and musketry. And also a letter from Captain Lumley, of the Hind, stating his having, on the 29th of September, captured off Melazzo a French privateer, called le Temeraire, vf two guns, and thirty men, out four days from Naples, wit hout - making any capture. And a letter from Captain Prescott, of the Weazle sloop, reporting the capture, on the 27th of October, of le Velose French letter of marque, of four guns and eighty-three men ; four days from Tunis, with out taking any prize. Dispatches, of which the following are Copies and Extracts, have been received by John Wilson Croker, Esq. Secretary to the Admiralty, from Rear-Admiral Sir Richard John Strachan, Bart, and K. B. His Majesty's Ship Blake, in Flushing Roads, December 13, 1809. Sir—l availed myself of Vice-Admiral Campbell's offer of the Jason to convey me to Flushing ; and as soon as it moderated on the 9th, in the afternoon, I hoisted my flag on board that ship, and, accompa nied by the Idas cutter, proceeded to this anchorage, where I arrived on the evening of the 10th, I found Rear-Admiral Otway with the squadron here ; he had embarked the troops, and put every thing in a state of preparation for retiring troni Wal cheren whenever the wind became favourable ; the Arsenal and works about the Basin at Flushing hav ing been destroyed on that day. The inclosed letter from the Rear-Admiral will in form you of the particulars of his proceedings : his arrangement for the retreat appeared to me to be so excellent, that I have given my full approbation to the whole.—lt has blown an exceedingly heavy gale of wind from the westward since my arrival in these Roads, which has pros ented my going as I intended to the division under Commodore Owen in the Slough Passage, and the same cause has prevented much communication here. I have not received any reports from the Room pot, but I send an extract of a letter from Commo. dore Owen, addressed to Rear-Admiral Otway, which will inform you of the proceedings of that officer with the force under his orders. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) R. J. STRACHAN. Cum, Flll.hing Roads, Dee. 11, 1809. Sir—l have the honour to communicate to you such circumstances as have occurred previous to your arrival, and subsequent to my last official communi cation.—The transports necessary for the embarka tion of the army baying arrived the 25th ult. on the following day the measures that I had previously concerted with Lieutenant-General Don for the de struction of the Basin, Arsenal, and Sea Defences of Flushing, agreeable to inctructions from the Earl of Liverpool, dated the 13th and received on the 17th, were begun. On this service six hundred seamen and artificers from the fleet were employed, under the orders of Captain Moore, of his Majesty's ship Marlborough, assisted by Captains Tomlinson and Henderson, of the fire ship service. The navy having completed the portion of work allotted to them, and Lieutenant- Colonel Pilkington, commanding the Royal Engi neers, having reported to Lieutenant-General Don that his mines for the destruction of the gates and piers at the entrance of the Basin were ready, the whole of the army, with the exception of the rear guards, was embarked on the afternoon, of the 9th instant. The mines were exploded yesterday at low water, and appear to have fully answered their obj,xt : the whole of the East side of the Basin had been previ ously completely destroyed, but as the port of flush ing West of the Basin lies considerably below the high water mark, any material injury of the West Bank would have caused the immediate inundation of the whole town ; therefore our work on that side has been confined to the demolition of the careening wharf and pits. It was at first intended to defer the burning of the storehouse and other buildings in the Arsenal until our final departure, but from the probability, that with a strong east wind the flames might communi. cate to the town, the whole was set fire to yesterday, and is totally destroyed. Thus Flushing is rendered useless to the enemy as a naval arsenal ; and the Basin, which afforded very secure retreat for several ships of the line during the winter, is for the present effectually destroyed, and can only be restored by great labour, and at an im mense expellee. I cannot conclude without expressing my great obligations to Captain Moore, for the able assistance he has rendered me in the performance of a very complicated service; and he speaks in terms highly satisfactory of the conduct of Captains Tomlinson and Henderson, and the other officers who served un der his orders on shore —I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) W. A. OrwAY, Rear-Admiral. Ite;irTAdmiral Sir Richard Strachan, K. B. Commander in Chief, &c. &c. &c. Clyde, in the Veer Gat, December S. Sir—Last night the enemy worked very hard on 'the battery at Woolversdyke, notwithstanding the continued fire kept on it. At daylight this morning, it was found he had opened four embrasures in it. Captain Carteret, therefore, pushed two subdivisions of the gun boats forwards against it, which completely succeeded in demolishing two of the embrasures, and in injuring the others very materially. About noon, three mortars were brought down, and, with a field piece, opened against our vessels (the brigs more especially) ; hut, after about an hour's firing, in which their shells were thrown with some precision, but without effect, they were com pletely silenced, and all our vessels kept their ground. About this time the gun boats entered the Cross- Channel which unites the two passes of Woolvers dyke, to endeavour to tow off a flat boat, which was lost last night from the Pallas's stern, being swanspt and nverset ; they got her in tow, but she was fast aground and could not as moved- The enemy's troops were in number the dyke, and a coml.- & :t";z:T derale rye of musketry was csehd *4l thy. I I believe without effect on either siari some few shot struck our boats. 1 The enemy's advanced gun boats appeared to lie close together, and I ordered two of the Clyde's boats r to advance into the passage and throw some rockets that way, in order that the occasion might be taken to reconnoitre them more closely. I find the enemy's batteries are not so far in ad vance as I had supposed,and that their gun boats are not nearer than Cortjen. They are, however, erect ing a battery on a point of the dyke which commands the Channel, about half way between that place and the Outer Battery. I have the honour to he, &c. (Signed) E. W. C. R. OWEN, Commodore. Extract of a Letter from Commodore Owen to Rear Admiral Otway, dated Clyde in the Veer Cat, December 9. If the enemy molest our retreat, we feel a confi dence in our strength, and the spirit of my people will not let them tread upon our heels. It is an ex cellent spirit, and I will endeavour to regulate it so far as to avoid committing them improperly. (Signed) E. W. C. it. owmt. His Majesty's Ship Blake, in Flushing Roads, Dec. 13. Sir—ln addition to my dispatch of this morning, I have now to transmit a letter, and an extract of one I have just received from Commodore Owen ; every time I hear from chat gallant and ani mated officer, I have fresh caise to admire his conduct. I think it my duty to inform you that I found the squadron under my command in the highest spirits, and ready to undertake any enterprize. I propose, as soon as I have made my final arrangements at flushing, to leave this command with Rear Admiral Otway, and to proceed to the Vere Gat, to communicate with Commodore Owen. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) R. J. STRACIIAN. Favourite Cutter, 1 ith December, off Ter Vier. Sir—l am happy to find, by a report this day from Captain Carteret, that the exertions of our gun boats have completely succeeded in preventing the progress of the enemy on the Woolversdyke. I in formed Rear Admiral Otway that the duty being heavy on the division of gun boats in advance, I had ordered that of Acting .Captain Rich to relieve it.— This was done, and to-day every embrazure the enemy had opened is said to be completely levelled by their fire. (Signed) a. w. C. R. OWEN., Extract of a Letter from ComModore Owen, dated Favorite, off Ter Vier,December 11. The enemy was very busy with the battery on Woolversdyke, which, if completed, would have ren. dered the post I had taken on that side a very uneasy one ; I therefore thought, under. the present circum stances, every thing should be tried to keep it back, and the gun boats have done it well. If the enemy in our 'retreat treads foo'close ou us, we feel confident in our strength, and can form as good a front as our Channel will allow : feeling the necessity for my being myself in 'the rear, I have hoisted my pendant in the Favorite cutter, leaving the care of the Clyde to my First Lieutenant. This, I trust, you will approve of, (Signed) E. W. C. R. oWEN. FOREIGN OFFICE, DEC. 18.

SEMLIN, NOV. & According to the last intelligence from , nople, it would seem, that less uneasiness is felt on account of the advantages obtained by the slam, than might be expected. Long before commencement of hostilities the Ottoman ment, perfectly aware of the opportunities which line of the Danube might afford the enemy to advantages, adopted such measures as will most fectually prevent the enemy from penetrating ins the hart of the Entpire. A very large force for that purpose been assembled in the environs Adrianople. BAYONNE, NOV. 45. More than 100,000 men are now on their m, from Germany to Spain. They are all to through this place and Perpignan, besides the of the reserve of 1806, 1807, 1808, and 1809, veral hundreds of whom are daily marching throw this town. INSPRUCK, NOV. 22. On the 20th inst. 200 insurgents attacked the p,.. of the bridge of Trehoupbuch, but were repulsed with loss. It would seem that Granau and Nauderz now form the central point of their assemblies ; but the measures adopted by the inhabitants of the sur. rounding villages will certainly prevent them from making any successful attempt to stir up fresh cott• motion. Proclamation, addressed by A. Pofer to the inhabitants of Wintuhgan, and dated Passeyer, 15th Nov. 1809, is at present circulated through the Upper Inthal ; it is as follows : " I felt inclined to lay down my arms, prevailed upon by men whom I considered as friends of My country, but who, as I find, are its en emies and traitors ; I therefore think it right to in form you, that all the Passeyer is again in open insurrection,; all the Inhabitants, both old and young, have taken up arms zixin, and that the enemy was yesterday defeated with great loss. therefore call on you, brethren, to rejoin us in arms.

Respecting the late disaster sustained by the Spa niards in La Mancha, our Gibraltar correspondent, who3e information comes from the hest sources, spe.L:s in the following terms " The loss of the Spanish army in the battle of Ocana amounted to about 5,000 killed and wounded, and 8,000 taken prisoners. The French had ab)L.t 1500 killed and wounded, and were twice repulsed with great loss in their attacks on the Spanish li L llt wing. —The cowardice of the Spanish cavalry cau.,td the defeat of their army. " The Spaniards are beginning to make great ex ertions, and the conquest of Spain will still be a very difficult and tedious business ; for the most valiant provinces are still untouched." The following letters from Cadiz contain some far. ther particulars respecting Spanish affairs, and explain pretty clearly how it happens that we so frequently hear of the Spaniards being in want of arms notw•ith• standing the immense supplies that have been se:lt from this country. _ . Another letter from Cadiz, states the loss of the Spaniards at 8000 killed, 15,000 wounded and pi. sorters, with 67 pieces of cannon.
