" I have the pleasure to inform yos, we left the
Downs List Saturday, wad .arriassl beef th 4 follow-
ing day (:ianday), on Waist slay; uur 604911 em-
barked iii the boats, and !Audi:44o3:loot the small-
est loss: the enemy opened aispfkisk tire, frobri two
battenes ; but not one of the "shot and shells
reached our boats. Previous to chit soldiert4iump-
mg on shore, the goo-boats, and other strMe4l 'vet-
sets drew up clot to the heath, and k.eptitipliweli a
treinvadoos tire. that it Mild impossible far,4lA.,
enemy to approach ; they kept Iniiind the stied
hills, waiting the attack of the troops. It web the
flisr4 bight 1 ever beheld, tore so many thousands
of brave fellows wailing through the water op to
their middles, all eagerly pushing on to the point
of attack : the enemy, however, would not wait
their coining up, hilt Sew in all :hi:actions, leaving
their arms behind them. In ten ini .. tea, the. Eng-
lish colours were hoisted on the Sand-hill batteries.

•' Next suornin7, a ntiniberof gurrlxrcits, with *ru-
ral brig. and bomb-eossels, bombarded r town called
Ter.Vere, winch returned our fire during the whole
day, and the shot fell in all directions about our
vessels; but am happy to say only our man on
board was killed.—Two boots were stink by the
shot from the battenes, but the Crewe were saved.
'I Hering been sent in with a supply of shot slid
powder, I went ow shore to within half a mile of
the town, in order to have a nearer blew of what
was going on; it was then night, and our sailors
were throwing Cougrcre's rockets iuto the town,
which. together with the gun-boats, did so much
iniscliivf, that the place surrendered nest morning.
Previous to the hoinhardinent, the inhabitants had

retired to Middlebu„h, the capital of the
" Ter-Yore it walled all rMIMAI, and so well
tilled, that it was i 11l het our troops to sluilu
it; there bcar. e A l.ouile in the piece but i.e. le-
criers.; eoluii, inatcrtai damage from our trerritoduus
fire.

Midilleburgh haw since surrendered without
tiring a shot ; and all our siilliers and sailors are
pone against Flushing, which they have been bum-
hariling them: two days.—l atu afraid we shall sus-
tain great loss before that place will surrender. as
there are several thousand French troopsomd 2000
of the Irish brigade in the French service, Linder
General Mounet, thief,.
" At this moment we hear the gnus, like peehrof
thunder, tiring without internine.ion.
" Each line-of-berile Ship has sent on shore from
go to 100 .earners, with puked, strorria, Ete. Our
brave tars are found extremely useful, 4sarticularly
to draw the CAIIOIOII. —The stragAting French
diets conceal theiwelves in bushes, hnt the pikes
soon bring them out. Eight hundred prisoners
were taken last night. Our boats are on share
bringing them off. We have 86 on board our ship
already.
" The Eagle, in coining in, got font of us, knock-
ed away our btern and quarter, and broke the
thigh of Mr. Jones, the First Lieuteriant.—We
have received so ninth daruage, that I imagine we
shall either he rant into dock sr paid off iu a few
days.
" I cannot ascertain what number of men we
have lost on shore, but understand the elith and

71st regiments have suffered greatly.
" The. Revenge,' Eagle, end York; are to go
home with the prisoners. I hope we shall not be
sent in till all is over here."
Another letter, dated the .sth instant, from an
offiver on board the ',dulls. 'met., that they had
taken on board their lower deck guns, and were •
proceeding up the Scheldt, in order to attack tlytrj
enemy's fleet. ilc tardier states. that the enemy,
had attempted toitluow a reinforcement of 10.000'
men on the islaq,,uf; Walchertn, near Flushing;
but that they wale nearly all destroyed' by .our
light vessels mist ktin-boatie. • Flushing had been
boinbarded for two days aud.iiights. and. was an
fire when the last accounts came away.
