Boveland.—Orest incotivenience, he 1.441, was felt

the army being in notes not negotiable.
Sir JOHN Hors conceived, that marching across
South Bevelaud would be attended with great
delay, labour and loss. •
Lieutenant-General Beownatan's evidence re-
lated principally to the plan of attack upon Wal-
cherea.—He tisotight that the army might have
been before Antwerp, with all the necessary means
of bombardment, on the 13th of August.
Admiral KLAT9 thought it would have been at-
tended with loss, to have proceeded to Antwerp,
without having reduced Lino and Liefeenehoek.
LieuteColottel Ormar declared, that there
was a sufficient stock of blankete for the sick in
vie Hospitals.

WILLIAM LIDDILIWALR, who had charge or the
sick at Flushing, said, that there was a delieiency
of betiding.

Numbers nineteen and twenty contain princi-
pally copies of the letters of Officers since the evi-
dence was closed, to queries put to them by Sir
RICHARD '*:,TRACHAN. Among these, Captain
CARTRALT states, that part of the flotilla
Rainmaking oft the night of the 2d of
Atitiuoi, and that, on the 4th, 60 gun-boats might
have tired upon the works and town of Flushing,
had tf•ey been required to do so, and the weather
iiv il favourable. The bomb, were in a situation,
on the sth, to throw their shells into that fortress ;

Davits knew, from his own o's•ervatioa, that the
beach on South lievelaud, about three miles from
Vero, was sulfi:ieutly 'bard for the lauding of in-
fantry and cavalry. Capt. JONES that
20 000 nafantry, an I 4,000 cavalry, 'night have
Lees lauded there in two day., and that he was pro-
vided with means to do it.

Lord Cott.t aGIVOOD was cruising off Bar-

oeventeei sail of the line, and three frigates.
—ln the early pert of January, a traimendons
storm visited the coast of the Liland of Minorca,
■nd was severely felt by some ships of war which
were then upon that station.—A Moorish ship, of
33 guise, was striven on the rocks, mud sunk in the
arsenal—end a felucca, which had been driven
across 'the hawse of the illresle friglste, drifted on
shore and west to pieces, and every soul on hoard pe-
rished. Three transports were forced on shore, and
much injured. An American briie was &smarted
and laid ou her beam ends. The Bulwark. Afresh.,
sad Spartaa, drifted, but fortunately brought up
again. The escape of the G►aahopper was a'sntat
miraculous. She struck on the poilit of land S. W.
