By letters from Lieutenant-General Sir John Hope, fiwl that the enemy had, on the btu inst. come down with aunut tc.enty-eiAlit gun vessels before Batz, on which place they kilt up a smart can nonade for some hours, hut were forced to c(tire by the gints from the fart, rind every thing has since remained quiet iu that quarter.

Lo NO, Col.-Adj.-Gen. • MY T.OIID, Middleburg's), August S, 1809. 4ince closing my dispatch of yesterday's date, the enemy, to wards five o'clock in the evening, in considerable force, 111:111e a vigorous sortie upon the right of our line occupied by Major- Gen. Graham's division. The attack was principally directed upon our advanced picquets, which were supported by the 3tl battalion of the Ito)als, the sth and 35th regiments under Col. Hay. These corps, together with detachments of the Royal Artillery, the ekh and light battalion of the King's German Legion, received the enemy, with their accustomed intrepiitity ; and after a sharp contest of some durat io.s, forced • him to re;sre ith very consi derable loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners. In this affair the enemy has had another opportunity of w it nessing the superior gallantry of British troops; iu no instance has he succeeded in making the least impression throughout our line, and on this occasion, so far from profiting by his attempt, be has been obliged to relinquish some very advantage ins ground where our advanced posts are now established. I cannot too strongly express my sense of the unremitting vigilance and abi lity manifested by Major-Cieneral Graham, in securing and maintaining his post against the repeated attempts of the enemy to dislodge hint ; and I have great satisfaction in acquainting your Lordship, that the Major-General mentionc, , in terms of the warmest approbation, the distinguished conduct and gallantry •of the Officers and troops engaged on this occasion. I am now enabled to transmit, for our Lordship's information, an abstract return of the ordnance, ammunition, and stores that have fallen into (inr hand, since oar arrival in this Island.
