That part of your di;:patch l which relates to the decri.asmg state of security of the Islaoti from an hcstile attack', is under consideration. I hare, &c. (Signed) CASTL.PLEAGiI• Firbi roclosure, describes the preparations made forlhe reception of the sick in Flnglantf, (Second Inclosure referred to in N0..P.) Illiddlehurgh, 11th St bfr, tem Si rt—The communication I have balm hofiourod with from Lieutenatit-General the Earl o(Chathapt is of su important a nature that I mus t lows to trouble his Lordship with more did '. o r. various on the subject than I should pretetteillfll9 on any ordinary occasion. • '' Independent of the eitistiog records-of the en, healthiness of Zealand, every object around Of depicts it in the most forcihie manner; the hot of every canal thst has communication Arith tie sea, is thickly covered with an ooze, which, w the tide is out, emits a most offensive and nois effluvia ; every ditch is filled with water, Oki is loadzal with animal and ve;otahle substances It a state of putrefraction ; and the whole isleucl M: ad Oat, and so near the level of the sea, that a, lugs portion of it is little better than a swamp, and there is scarcely a place where water Of a tolerably good quality can be procured. The effect of all these causes of disease is strongly marked in the appearance of the inhabi. tants, the greater part of whom are pale and list. less. Scrophule is • a very general complaint a:nong them. The children are sickly, and •inauy Of the grown persons are deformed. The endemic diseases of this country, .remittent and intermittent foyers, been to appear about the middle of August, and continue to prevail until the commencement of frosty weather checks the exhalations from the cur.:, gives tone to the dcbi. Mated frame, of the people, and stops thereby the further progress of the complaints. It is corn. Wed that nearly a third of the inhabitants are• httaeked with fever every sickly season. • If individuals who hare lived in this island from their Infancy, who observe a degree of cleanli. ness that can scarcely be surpassed, end who live in spacious apartments, cannot obviate the effects pf the climate, it may naturally be concluded N; '...i a foreign army must suffer by being exposed, in t he first instance, to excessive fatigue, and to the inclemency of the weather, end after wards py beiniT provided into barracks, where, under the most tivutirable circumstances, the sudden tralsitioe must have produced a severe gild ex *tended disease. The health which the troopsenjoyediluring the rietive operetiens, seal but a proof (as have al ready had the honour to state to his ordship) t that the powers of body and mind, when their energies are called into.action, resist for a time iho causes of disease. The fever which now un happily prevails in the army first appeared among he battalions which were cantoned in South Beve -1 nd, and only began to demonstrate its influence I;ere ahout the time that Flushing surrendered to Iris Majesty's arms. The rabidity s ith which the disease has extend ed itself during the short period that has elapsed Once, that event is almost unexampled in the hia. tory of any military operations. As the season 4as hitherto been is favourable one (for hot and dry weather produces the most destructive dis. oases), the cases have been slight ; bet a'very considerable number of them have, notwithstand. irie, assigned a more serious form, and have dege. sierated into that species of low foyer which ones 1 m evails in gaols and other ill.veutilated plati ,: 'ltgland. A melancholy proof of this is found la the 104 of valuable lives that has already been noticed, spa which, I am concerned to state, is not dial. ipishiog. Seventeen men diedin the regimental hos itals of this garrison alone during the last 24 hours. 'As the 'progress of the mischief in the short period of three weeks is much greater than could rationally have been calculated upon, and a scarcely a third part of the sickly season has elapsed, it is hardly possible to conjecture what loss tray be incurred during the continuance of it. The causes which operate on the human frame are so powerful, and so generally applied, that all the Ovulations and preventives which art can Invent, though they may diminish, can never obviate their effects in any great degree; it must there fore be sit inevitable consequence of the British troops retraining in Walcheren, that a very con. aiderable lon must be sustiined.. • Although I have trespassed so much on his Lordship's time, I beg leave to add one remark, that I humbly conceive of Consequence, which is, Cat those men who may be *Reeked with • fewer, and recover from it, will have their tensdtstiesse so affected by the shock, that their physkal pow ers, when called into action bereaftisr, will be 'cry materally diminished.

TI 0 N MOVOUR 4110 pArOTATI ON --- Of Cho amount of which we - have not the prosemption to attempt an estimate by ally epithet in the English langnagc. To an investigation of the causes of the glori ous result of this Expedition, Ministers, in spite of every effort, have been compelled to submit—and the Rouse of Commons will this day commence that laborious task. Mr. YonxE, the Member for Cambridge, yes. terday gave notice, that in order to prevent imper fect a , ul mutilated publications of such evidence as may be given viva voce at the Bar of tho House of Commons on this subject, he was deter mined to move the Standing Order of the Vouse for the exclusion of Stranxersifrom the Gallery. —This exclusion it certainly is in the power of Mr. YORKE, or any other Honourable Member, to enforce. It may not be superfluous to inform such of our Roaders as are Rot acquainted Kith the forms of the House, that there are certain standing orders of the House, which are, bow. ever, not enforced, unlets some Me.nber make a motion to that effect—when the enforcement of the order follows as a matter of course.— There is no division on such Motinj", it hciug merely for the execution, of an Older 'Already made by the Home. It is, therefore, in the power of an individual Member at any time, to clear the gallery, by moving the Standing Order, even though the whole Hesse he adverse to the exclusion of strangers. Mr. Yo ale, after having expressed his intention in the House, subsequently observed in conversation in the Gallery, that his sole object was to prevent the imperfect publication of the evidence; and thernfore, if ho could he assured that no poet of it would be published inlhe Newspapers, until it was regularly printed from the Minutes, he - would recede frotn hisdetermination. Of the expediency of 4 any measure of this nature, at the present moment, when the feelings of the people are irritated and goaded almost to madness, we do not fuel ourselves at liberty to express all we think— but we will ven. tura to express au ardent wish that the Newspapers would but abstain f rom taking the slightest notice of the Proceedings of either House of Parliasekt, until that accommodation be afforded which *ay ensure facility of access to those from whom cot. rectness is demanded, and by which they may be enabled to hear that which they are expected to record. After the Galleries were cleared, on Wednes day night, in the House of Commons, and Mr. lianaEs's list was adopted in pieference to that of Mr. PERCEVAL, the names of Sir J. New- PORT, fur Ireland, and Sir GEORGE WARREN_ DER, for Scotland, wire added to the Com mittee; on the motion of Mr. PONSONRY, without the Minister's venturing to divide the House •o either, though manifestly must averse to their ia. section.
