Sta—l have the honour and satisfaction to inform you, that by an immediate and zealous pursiit of the measures recommended in the duplicate of in structions received by the Mosquito on the stli instant, Lis Excellency the Marquis de la Romano, and nearly six thousand of the Spanish troops un der his command, were embarked this mortitag at !Vyborg, which place hi took possession of an the 9th. By a combination of the same plan, more than one thousand have joined us this morning, by sea. from Jutland, and another thousand ere thrown into Langeland, to strengthen the post held by the Spa. nish forces iu that island, where it is proposed to land the reinaluder the moment circumstances of weather will permit of our :amnia. The-arrival of the Spanish dtficer in the ?Agar, nn the 3th, of whine spirited escape to the squadron you were in formed by Captain Graves, greatly facilitated our means of communication. No doubt could he entertained of the honour and patriotism of soldiers, who, indignant at the proposal of deserting their allegiance, though sur rounded by hostile battalions, planted their colours in the centre of a circle they formed, and swore on their knees to be faithi.l to their country. All were equally anxious of returning to it. • But our Regiment in Jutland was too distant, and too criti cally .it rated to erect its escape : and two in Zea- Isud, after having fired on the French General Fri !inn, i 100 commanded them. and killed ore of his .li/I.de-tamps, have been disarmed. Some untoward circumstances having occasioned suspicion, and made a premature execution of the plan necessary, the wind and current being adverse. I lett the Superb ou the Bth, and went in my barge to the Brunswick, off Nyher,g, and two &WM after my Bag wag kraiNted. On the 9th the Geurral took possew.ion of the town. Although the Danish garriaon yielded to circum stances, an armed brig of eighteen guns, the Fame, and a cutter, the Sa'Orman, of twelve, moonlit across the harbour near the town, re jected all remorstrance on the part of the Danes, and every offer of security made by the General and myself. The reduction of these vessels being absolutely necessary, and the Spanish General unwil ling to act hostilely against Denmark, such small vessels and boats as'could be collected were put un der the command of Captain M.Nainara, of the F.el4;, , ar, who attacked and took them. On this oc casion I hare to lament the leas of Lieutenant Harvey, an officer of much merit, of Abe Superb, and two seamen wounded ; the enemy had seven killed and thirteen wounded. I it:iosiki limo noticed that the Spaniards, irritated at the oppo4:tion their friends who Caine to their support met with, departed is some measure from the General's intention, sod fired some shot at them before they struck. Expedition king deemed of the greatest portant*, I shifted my flag to the Hound in the harbour ; and as neither of the throe ships .of the hne, from circumstances of the weather, could be brought near in; fifty-seven sloops or dodgers, found in •the port,. were fitted by the seamen, into which great part of the artillery, baggage, and stores, were embarked that night and the follow ing day, and removed to the point of Slypsharn, four miles from Nyborg, where the army wao em barked safely, and without opposition, this morn ing, notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the weather, and they are now under the pro tection of Hi. Majesty's ships. at the anchorage off the Island of Spree. Some sacrifices of horses and stores were con ceived necessary by the General; and as I con sidered it right, under the peculiar circumstances, to enter into the views and wishes of the Marquis de la Romano, every unavoidable act of hostility was rigidly abstained from, for I did not consider it any to bring away the brig and cutter that rejected our slier of security, and forcibly opposed our entrance into the port; and I even undertook to liberute the reseals employed as transports, pro►ic'ed no in terruption was made by any to the peaceable em barkation of our friends. I should be unjust to the meritorious exertions of the officers and seamen employed on this short but fatiguing service, if I neglected to represent their merits no thisoceasion to you ; Capt. Graves's services were required afloat; Captain 111 , Natuaro. of the Edgar, undertook the equipment of the transports, with the embarkation of the stores; the embarkation of the troops was made under the di rection of Captain Jackson, of the Superb, and Captain Lockyer, of the Hound ; Capt. Smith, of the Devastation, and Captain James, of the Kite, were indefatigable in their exertions in the various duties I assigned them. Many circumstances hav ing combined to make an attack on the rear proba ble, great precaution was necessary. Such guns as could be brought against us were 'spiked, and the embarkation was covered and mast effectually - protected by the Minx gun-brig and the two prises, and by the very• judicious disposi tiin of the gun-boats, under the command of Cap tain May, of the Royal Artillery, who volunteered, and whose services ou this and other occasions were highly useful. It is not easy to express the jny and satisfaction felt by every elms of the army at this event ; and no circainotance, I believe, could have afforded more real pleasure to us all. One, the regiment of Zamora, made a march of eighteen Danish miles in twenty-one hours. I tut:mink herewith for your further information, copies of such letters as I deemed it requisite to address to his Eictlleney the Marquis de !alto mane and the Governor of Nyborg on this Gees. sion.

Superb, off Langtland, Aug. 5, too.. Sits—l have the honour to inform you, that I have received from stsy Government the most positive Instruction's to .osideavokr to communicate a ith the Spanish Officers commanding the troops of that nation in the vicinity of my command, and to con cert with them measures 10 secure their retreat from any place of 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, for which, as well as the ne cessary provisions, measu ere have already Leen taken, and indeed of the arrival of them I am in hourly expectation. Until that period shall arrive, they are welcome to share in the accommodation amid provisions of the ships under my command, but as that might not afford ample means at present, al though I am in expectation of the Commander in Chief, I would suggest, under the pressure of cir cumstances, the removal of the troops to some of the islands in the Belt for their perfect security.— But as a measure of this magnitude to the interests of the Spanish nation would necessarily require a concerted plan, lest by attention to partial interests the general one might suttee, I request an unre served and confidential communication, either to the ships off Nyberg, that stationed off Langeland, or any of His Britannic Majesty's ships in the Belt. and through the bearer of this, or by any other means. I propose sending on Sunday, unless I should earlier receive some person on bOard, a flag of truce, under some pretext, to the Spanish post at Spoysberg, and if this should be safely received. I wish, in token of it, a small guard might parade in some compiettons situation at noon to-morrow, near the English ship at anchor or under sail near Spoysberg. In my present situation it is impossible, ardently as I enter into the views of my Government awl the Spanish nation, to attempt to lay sl/wri any axed plan. My services, and those of every Eng lishman under my command, are devoted to the cause; but before measures can 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 Zealand with those is Innen nod Lens-eland.

Those at Frederisca, by seising on vessels, possibly force an embarkation, and unite wi on Funen, which might perhaps be Nyman' some movements of the troops at Odense. Separate, or united with those in Jutland,' prebend those in Punen could secure tla•m the Presqu' Isle (peninsula) which termii the Island of Itannase, of which the pass , teminde appears to form the Gorge, and I , necessary, remove them to Romsoe ; it greatly facilitate the necessary naval (spent' might enable me to send a ship of the lint words Fredovisco to favour the troops in Jr those in Langeland should be thought in , on that. island ; if' they &mild, - the 'ether , might be landed at leisure on. that island, mod whole embarked from thence ; but if the ' present there are incapable of maintain. selves at that place, in that case I must ship of the line and a sloop, which could, at any time, receive them on board, and convex t to any other place that might be approved of, transports could to procured for their recer My mean:, (three ships of the line and half small vessels at most,) are not. perhaps, to embrace all these objects at once; but and exertion of the officers and ships would greatly diminish the difficulties, and I be much aided in lending assistance to the Frederisca, if, as I have before said, those in gelato' should be considered capable of Mg that post without any immediate rapport am aware some sacrifices of horses, and cannon, might be necessary, and we must be pared to encounter even unforeseen ditfiei naval arrangements and movements are ores pendent, in some degree, on weather; but I hope to surmount them all. It would, of be right to drive in cattle, amid take sithatever visions might be practicable with the troops it would not only save our present supply, ms . the victuallers not having at this moment is rather scanty for the Spanish army, but put me at ease on that score, provided en avoidable delay should intervene, and prase: sending supplies to them on shore. In my present uniafonned state • l am not i timatimi to judge how far it might be in the I of, or deemed preferable hy, the Spanish Cc r der, to seize on Nyborg. It would secure tl tivity of the gun-boats in that port. But sr measure might possibly involve the safety rf troops in Zealand and Jutland, by indue Danes to act hostilely, when otherwise the y wit be disposed to wink at, or make no serious •edcr . impede, the quiet removal of the Spanish troop& But if the principles of this plan should proved of, and deemed feasible by those ire eland, I would recommend the movement m general.
