Stsperb,'njj Langeland, Aug. 5. Sins.-..? have the honour to inform you, that I. have re ceived from my Government th e mos t positive instruction to en deavour to communicate with the Spanish Officers commanding the troops of that &dims in the vicinity of my command, and to concert with them measures to secure their retreat from any place or embarkation which they may possess, and for placing them in a state of security until transports for their reception can be provided to convey them to Spain, forwhich, as well as the uecessary provisions, measures have already been take*, and indeed of the arrival of thetw / ars in hourly expectation. . Until that period shall arrive, they are welcome to share in the accommodation and provisions of the ships under my commands hut as that might 1101 sherd ample means at present. although I am in expectation of the Commander in Chief, I would sus. Rest under the pressure of .circumstances, the removal of the troops to some of the Islands in the Delt for their perfect se curity. But as a measure of this magnitude to the interests of the Spanish nation would necessarily require a concerted pion, lest by attention to partial interests the general one might suf fer, I request an unreserved and eosifidential communication, •either to the ships of Nyburg, that stationed of Langeland, or any of his Britanuic Majesty's ships in the Belt, and through the bearer of this, or by any other memo. I propose sending no Sunday, unless I should earlier receive some person on board, a flag of truce, under some pretest, to th e Sp an i s h post at sp()%sherg, an d if this should be safely received, I wish, in token of it, a small goard might parade in some conspienous hituation at noon to-marrow, near the English ship at anchor, or under sail near Spoysherg. In my present situation it is impossible, ardently as I enter' info the views of my Goiernmenl and the Spanish nation, to attempt to lay down any fitted plan. My services, and that of every Englishman under my commute!, are devoted to the cause; but before measures eau• be adopted, we must communicate, agree on, and combine as far as it may be possible, the interests of the Spanish- troops in Jutland and Zeolund with those in Yawn and Langeland. I shall keep a ship for some days off Spo.sberg ; and every ship under my command will be on the look-out to receive any boats that may approach them. I have the honour to be, site. (Signed) R. G.

My mew (three ships of the line and half a doses MUM WWI, at most), are oat. perhaps, sufficient to em brace all these ollietts at owe, ; but the seal apd exertion of the 0111ters and ships companies would greatly diminish the difficul ties, sad I should be much aiding la lending assistance to the troops at Frederisca if, as I have before said, those in Lange. land should be ennsitiered capable of maiusainiug that post with , out any immediate support. lam aware seine sacrifices of horses, and perhaps eannon, might be necessary, and we most be prepared to encounter even unforeseen difficulties; naval arrangements and movements are ever dependent, lissome degree. en weather ; hilt I should hope to surmount them all.
