I have now to acquaint you, for their Lord;hips' information, that the flat boats of ('va:ry description of vessel: using assembled, told every neeesary arrangement made on the part of the \ for landing the army near Sauttleet, on the beach which had previously reconnoitred, and not hearing from the Earl of Chatham respectin4 his intentitios, I communicated w ith his .Lordship on the Itit instant, and on the followiog d:tv I fituati his Lordship had not come to a determination, on account of the enrreased force of the enemy, and the army gett;ng sickly, and that he had sent for the Generals to conqult, I therefore, ou the moroing of the 2tii It, wrote to his Lordship, and I soon after went on shore to the meeting of the Lieutenant-Generals of the Army, taking with the Itear Admiral Sir Richard Keno.: ; I found them decidedly of opinion that tit) operation could undertak , ‘n again , t Antwerp, with any pros/wet of Success, at this advanced season of the year, and the enemy eocreasing itt btrength, and oor own forces diminished hy sick : and that as the takitig of Lillo and Lief keti:hoeik vrouLl not ensure our cittniniog the uttialate object of the x,ivdition, without An! weep being. reduced, and the country Dear these ;Ortres-es beiug innix!ated ; it was also their decided opinion, that the army ought not to make any attempt on them. I had alieady, in c„ e naquoi tied manlier, offered every naval assistance to reduce the,e fortresses, and also in a;d of every operation of the army. Conceiving the suhject of the deliberations of tie Generals per fectly military, I withdrew with Sir It.
