Commander in Chief of his Majesty's sh ips at the Leeward Islands, to John Wilson Croker, Esq. Venerable, &Unica, Aug. 15. Ste,—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty being aware of the projected expedition against Gualadoupe, so soon as the Commander in Chief of the forces, Sir James Leith, lad assembled a force at this rendezvous sufficient to-ensure a prompt and decided reduction of that island ; the last division of the troops having arrived on the 7th instant; the island having been reconnoitred by the Com mander in Chief of the Forces, and inyself, aided by that distinguished and indefatigable engineer Sir Charles Shipley, the places of debarkation having been determined upon, all overtures to the enemy having been rejected with scorn, and the rainy and hurricane season having set in, not a moment was to to he lost. • I beg you will be pleased to inform their Lordships that I sailed on the Bth instant, having on board the 15th regiment, in company with the vessels of war and troop-ships as per mat gin•, fifty-three sail of transports and hired vessels, with &Ono men, a corps of artillery, and the usual appendages to the army, and proceeded to the weatherinost landing place, Sainte Sauveur, (it had been proposed to have landed in three divisions at the same time, but the want of boats put that out of our power,) where, from the admirable position taken up by Lieutenant George Topman, acting Captain of the Chanticleer, who swept the beaCh of the few troops that made their appearance, and the troops being covered by the Fairy and Espeigle, the debarkation was soon effected. We Olen dropped down to the next landing-place. Grand Ante, wlre're We found a large body of troops and a battery, . commanded by the Comte de binois and General •Boyer. 1 ordered Captain Baker, of the Fairy, 'Captain Chads, of the Columbia, and Captain Fleming, of the Barbadoes, to cover the landing of the troops, and from their well-directed fire, the battery was soon silenced, and the enemy drove h.tck to a • respectful distance; two thousand men were then landed, under the comMand of their gallant Commander in Chief, without the losi'of a man. It being now dark and late, and the boats not yet returned, I postponed the third landing un til the following morning, when it was accomplished with equal success on the lee part of the island, near Balif, under cover of the Columbia, Chanticleer, and DZltios, in the face cif I,\ i } • . - SEPT. 24. a very large force, who retrea.ed to the height , . and there .capitulated on the morning of the !nth instant ( a copy of the, term§ I herewith inclose for their Lordships inform— ationt) ; a few ships aid the floating property that remained were immediately taken possession of. It may be presumption in me to risk an opinion .expecting the conduct of the army altar they were on shore. but I trust, having witnessed the gallant manner in which they im. mediately advanced and drove hack the etieniv. as well as the general 'plan of attack, I may be permitted to vxpre , s my admiration. The Commander in Chief of the Forces, sir Jan's Leith, having frequently of late honouted me with his comnany on board the Venerable, I should not do justi, e to my fp , ti nge were I not to express to their Lordships how ini.ch the country is indebted to his zeal, ability. and indefatigable exertions in forwarding the king's service. This dispatch will be delivered by my Flag Lieutenant. Francis Wemyss, an intelligent and zealous officer, who will give their Lordships any further particulars; and I beg leave to recommend him to their Lordships' protection 1 have the honour to he, &c.

There were found in the fortress, 227 pieces of ordi.ance, )5 of which were mounted, and provisions remaining for near three months.
