MY Loan—lt seems to be a general opinion, that much resistance is nut to be expected at Flushiug, and the reports of the deserters lately come over favour the opinion • but when I consider the defence of Fleshing, I sin decide dly of opinion, that a squadron, let it be ever so well attended by gun.vessels, could do little spinal the ships of the enemy in the Basin, and would be exposed to be set on tire by the batteries of the enemy ; therefore, it is advisable nut to make any attempts on the town, wit hout the co-operation of au army. If a sqoadrun ',lmola be anchored clear of existiug batteries above the town, it would be an object to take up such me anchorage, to pr,vent the enemy from escaping up the rivet when the town is attacked. By the accounts of to-day, it smuts probuirle, that all the ships of the enemy, by this time, are at anchor in the Scheldt, and in a situation to run lip the ricer, if attacked ; others were preparing to go out of the Basin.
