The town was surrounded by very high wall ramparts, them wu a very deep ditch, great old mounds of earth, and other ciresinstances du nut know, I believe that was what is called a demi-rebutment; in abort, it was • place that could not be mitered without a regular siege unkm at um wan endured, if there was a sufficient neut. bet of men in it ' • it has sustained several sieges, and has hots given np without a siege, but then it was always when the country wan possessed by the enemy, and then It west tall (groaner.

Is it uot customary to cuimuit you as Conimander-in.Chief %p of the appood meat of officer. to command detached Ex peditious ?---11 certainly is. Were you ever cossetted upon the appointment of Lord Chatham to that command was consulted iu a certain degree; I knew before he was appointed; I knew he was meant to be appointed, but it was not my choice ; I was ant asked as a choice, nor dell expert that, nor could I ; at the game time, as I asentiousil before, I thought it a most proper choice at the time. Do yen know whether Lord Chatham ever commanded any Expeditiou, or auy force before out of this kingdom ? I do ant recollect the extent of Lord Chatham's services. I was myself with bon in Holland, and I know toe served in the Anseimais war. Ido not know the particulars of hi. service., bat these circumstances occurred to my knowledge. De yue know in what situation Lord Chatham served hi ligigneid, aid what rank be had in the army in Ow Ameri tea war?-1 think he was a Field O ffi cer in the Amenh an Gar, sad was a Major•Genersl in Holland. De yogi knew that Lord Chatham ever before had the miannand of live thosusaull amen in his life out tif England seid rush ~nem say particularly th a t I k now he had fire t tuts under his cominaud. Is it not a part of the duty of the Commasder-in-Claief, le be prepared to avower to the /ketchup of State, ur the Go sierareent, what the services of any officer have been whom they premise to him to be employed in the service?—The Commander-in-Chwfcaatiet give a detailed aceouut of every officer's services. Lord Chatham's tervices were know,. to every betty no well as to the Commander-in• Chie f; he was a man of very high military rank, and who had always cois dueled himself well in his 'kasha. in Holland; indeed, I knew him; he served more particularly in the division of the army I wan in, and I saw every thing that wu prow, very much se at that time, in Lord Chatham; lie seas altereards under my command in Kent, and I always consider'd him mid found Inns a very excellent officer. Without considering you as responsible for the immediate appointment of Lord Chatham, du you nut believe that laird Castlereagh conssuaniested confidentially with you with re fli tto that appointaseet,before the command was proposed to Lord Chatham?—Lord Castlereagh certainly communi cated to me fare, I ran recoll e ct, an d I could out disap prove, . beci:ase I thought him a very proper mar aud a goo d siker Do you know what difference there vias in hie state of strength and (arbitration of Antwerp at the time the Ex pedition was oudert4ken, for that is which it stood when you wan there in Into t--rtiti, 1 do net ; 1 never saw any writhes description, ut Bay play of it, and therefore could set judge. Ton ►ave stated that you had conversation with the Secre tary of State, Lord Castlerragh, on the subject of Antwerp, and that you were required to state what were the nature of its fortifications and its strength in the year 1794 when you were thew; did the Secretary of iltate eosamtaieste to you that he had any information ...I to any alteration in the na ture and strength or the foitdit.,t...as of Antwerp from that time du nut recollect that Lord Castlereagh required me to state particularly as to Antwerp, 4 suppose it did hap pen la the course of convenstioa. Did Lord Castiereugh 'communicate to you that he had had any information as to any alteration io the state of de fence and fortifications of Antwerp!-1 do not recollect the particolans aunty such communication. Is it in the course of the service to discos/ miantely with you the plan of operations upon which nacres are going on service or is not that le ft to rest with the responsibility of the dicer employed, that °tracer taking such SICUUMB as appear to him necessary to collect information to direct his conduct!—l cannot say :lam so young in command that I have net had • great many opportunities of having these points discussed ; it is very natural to coininunieate I sup pose any thing with respect to a service of that kind; un doubtedly the detail is left with the Commander, who is re sponsible for it s and is to take charge of it, but every com municative and information that can be collected is and intake of course to hegiven to him. _ . Was the force, mentioned by yon as being ready on the IA of June when you toads your return to Lord Castlereagh, to such a state, that if transports and men of war had been ready, it might hare_ been embarked at that timi?—uThe greater port l apprehend certainly was, but they were thee so separate cantonments, dispersed over the country, and it required a considerable time to assemble them, before you could soy they were prepared suit ready fur raabarkatiaa they were in an etfective state fur service as far as I can recollect. Hut if you had had dirwetious to put those troop► into canto:animus nearer the places of embarkation, might or •m;bt nut that Lave born done so that they might have ►ailed by the Ist of July ?—No, certainly ; the troops could not have been collected at Portsmenth by t►e tat ufJul), and nearly belittle force embarked at Portsmouth. The question does not relate to the period from the 2141 of July only, but supposing pervious obstructions to you bud been given, to expedite the embarkation of the troops as soon as possible, might nut they have been put tutu such canton. meats as to have embarked by the lit of July'—The whole of the troops were embarked betweee the :tttla of June mid t►e yth of July. . . _ [To be cardboard.] r - WiLCNtRBN EXPEDITIOY.
