Ly making the tier of Plea sing. nesting, tirti
sided the Wend of Walcheren be inundated, mutt
be considered, by every sensible officer, as a pilot
impregnable by a regular riexe, or at least as pre.
seating difficulties which the labour of Nor months
would be tillable to vanqui►h. In this iustaner,
the wisest calculations were hafted. Flushing,
whey the besiegers' trendies were still 310 fiats,
from the body of the fortress. when there wes ao
breach, when the body of the tomtits was• un-
touched, surrendered by the side effect of 'the tei_
ror of a Iwrubardinrnt. Is this cowardice? Is it
treason ? The sequel of the inywiry will prove,

Thos, then, the sole opposition of Flu.ldol,
which detained the Eaghalt exiietlition only tweini
thys. oillht to have detained it three mouths.
Of all the chme,:s of succeeding, cert:uale the
one least expected hr the English inu 4 141. e bean
such a 811CCON obtained by a bomliard.nent ;
required 2o days for that. Now, ..20
the island a ‘Vulcheren, in the
must have occasioned a number of sick. sloth
cannot be computed at less than one in four
soldiers; and to calculate otherwise would to-trev
a total ignorance of the effects of that china,.
When we say that twenty days spent in the island
of Walcheren must cost the quarter of the troops
which land in it, we may add, that the health of the
other three quarters must be essentially impair-
ed, and that all the weakened men are on thc
point of falling sick. It is, therefore, a most series.
less attempt to land Inure soldiers in that fatal
country, and we must consider the rugliot army
as destroyed, or, at least, what remains of it, as
unable to do much duty, fur several mouths to
come.

But,in fine, after the siege of Flushing, we had to
expect the siege of fort Batz, which, communicat-
ing by water with Bergen-op-Zoom and with fort
St. Martin, which the. French have built opposite
to it, conid in like manner trot he taken. but after
works anifirenehes cariat tl ow in a country, th' cli-
mate of which is us fatal as that of Witheberen.—
It is true, that the English were fortunate ! A Dutch
General, called Bruce, the shame of the military
name, and whose tie:id the nation must have to fall
upon the scaffold, evacuated this fort, through as
unc•xampled panic, six hours before the Euglrsh
arrived. flue, then. we again behold the Evglisli

the ever-int reasitii diminution of their orlon wh:.

Antwerp. But, in fine, the French squadron being
taken and burned, it martins to be known, whether
such tin operation was worth ?bat it has ost and
whether it I,e very prudent to go to en estwnse of

But the ships at Antwerp could not he taken.
They did sot depend upon the occupation of Flush-
ing, upon that of Wadcheren, nor of any ittlatitl
they depended upon the Continent. It gra. titers-
*airy to take Antwerp ! The Foglia'', who, Coe thit,
long time past, have not travelled upon the Con-
tinent, consulted information collected six trans
age, and imagined that Antwerp was !tlll an open
town, as it was when it was only a trading port; they
did not take into their cab illation the corks of
these latter years, especially those which the
Emperor has caused to be raised, since h.s
jostnity to Antwerp. Upon establishing a dock-
yard in that town, he ordered its fortifications
to be again rased ; it is now surrounded with
• bastioned rampart. The ditch, filled whir water,
which covers this rampart, has been repaired ; the
left of the town is covered by an immense inunda-
tion, which removes the approaches upwards of
' 1500 fathoms; the right is supported by the
cita-
rl,•l. which ilia tine piece of fortification; upon this
front, several works have been established : among
1 others, a tine half-moon, aid, its co ttttt erscarp.
Upon the left bank of the Scheldt theta! tire Inc

established, and its works are protected by an it:-

English could not, therefore, take Antwerp without
besieging it, without metlo.dically opening the
trenches, without working out through the inninlv-
tions and marshes, in short. without baying invest-
ed the town; and if they must invest it nit both
sides, they would require to have two armies :
One between the Head of Flanders and the to,. e

roving Antwerp and the French army behind
him, thau to undertake to invest Antwerp and be-
siege it.
This much with regard to the same bide.

On the side of the river, the following are the ob.
stades which must have stopped the English :
Ist. Fort Frederick and Fort Dorf, each mount-
ing fifteen 36-pounders ; after these, Fort Lillo and '
the Fort of Liefltenshotit ; curl mounting sixty
26-pounders and ten itiort.irs; and behind, a line
of eighty gun-boats and pinnaces, mounting two
hundred 24-pounders. Now, every sensible man
who knows that there is only a distance of 600 fa-
thoms between Fort Lifla mid the Fort of Liefkens-
lioek, which is opposite to it, perceives that this
passage cannot be for,ed. With regard to fire-
ships, it is well {Enna°, that fireships and infernal
InsAines • are ineffectual. The infernal
v hies erns let ott. at St. Melo had no effect; these
•OS of explosions were never able to shake a rem-
ain. Au estatedo lied beau established, which se-
-tired our gun-bouts •from tire-ships. lii fine, i‘e
had also fire-ships; sixteen were already in readi-
ness, and we were going to avail ourselves of the
first favourable occasion to send them against the
English. Desides, to make use of fire-ships, it
would have been necessary to approach within 500
fathoms of the town ; since, from Lillo to Antwerp,
the Scheldt makes four elbows, which would base
prevented tire-ships from being directed from any
greater distance.
On the sea-side, in like manner, no slicers% einild
be hoped for ; hut admitting, that, by the combine-
tion of the effeuts of the land and sea, Lillo and
Liefkenshork had been carried, which supposes two
regular sieges, the enemy would directly utter have
met with three other harriers to be forced; the
Pearl fort, fort St. Philip. and fort St. Mary. All
these forts are covered by inundations, and each of
them would have required a separate siege. These
different operations could not hive taken place with-
out losing 4 days more, and supposing that by the
20th of October the land and sea forces had been
able to approach within 2000 fathoms of Antwerp,
they still required three months more to take the
town. With regard to the squadron, it ryes entire-
ly shut up within the town, up and down its river,
protecting Antwerp, and protected by it. The
taking of Antwerp was, therefore, a thing impos-
sible Lord Chatham, an operation much more
difficult to be effected than the occupation of a
quarter of France.

However, the following was the system of the
French army Front the 15th of August three
corps were formed. The Prince of Ponte Corvn
was at Antwerp with 30,000 men, nationul guards,
regulars, and Dueth troop?. The Duke of Came-
than() was at Ghent with the corps of the Lead of
Flanders, cassairtmg of 25,000 men ; the Duke of
Istria was at Lisle with 90,000 men.

We should have let the FAiglish, had they seri-
onsly presented themselves, cross the channel of
Bergen-op-Zoom, stretch out beyond the inunda-
on e I.ilM, and march against Antwerp; the
Dike of Cornegliano w.iiild have !proceeded towards
the Head of Flanders, and, whilst the English
would have been making their dispositions to hi-
tter, Antwerp, from fort Lill() to the citadel, the
Prince of Pointe Corvo and the Doke of Cornegli-
mo, protested by the inundations and by the im-
mense works of the town, would have for
them, and, on the day agreed upon. would have
etretened out upon the right ; and then the Elitz-
lish army would hare terminated it destinies: the
Duke of Luria would, during that time, have pro-
ceeded to the island of Cadmic!. On the Ist of
September there were, between Flanders and the
Scheldt and Matenricht, twenty thousand men Ins-
ider arms. They were not all regulars, but they
were all commanded by men who hid serve.' ; they
were all volunteers, and consisted, for the most
part, of former under-officers, and former soldiers,
who had olitained their descharges, and who bad run
to arms eu the first signal.
Lord Chadians, therefore, charged himself with
a senseless operation ; and those, also, who pro.
jected it, shrewd themselves to be as ignorant of
the climate as of the localities. Lord Chatham saved
the English army, by determining to re-embaik
it ; but every day that he delayed to execute this
determination, heightens the misfortunes of his ex-
pedition ; and if he is culpable. it is not in having
ordered the retreat, s is in having so long delayed
to re-embark ; for, doffing this delay, the English
r -lope contract fresh diseases, and become infected
itli fresh seeds of destruction.
Let it suffice to say, that the Emperor, when he
!earned -dist au EiOish army hail heels landed
aatsn that point, recninineocled that it should not
. attacked, and that we sli.tuld leave Cie destrites
t.ou of it to the diseases, which, in that slairgerous
climate, insist do the enemy more injury titan the
cannon, without its cosiin.; any thin to France.
The English, in landinAri riillititTS, did, there-
fore, a thing contrary to all use risks of war ; Ist,
because they took for the theatre of their opera-
toms a country so llPMhilketiallr. that they might
presume that a mouth's stay in it would destroy
this army; that the county is covered with strong
places. such as Flushing, Ilergen-op-Zoom, Botha,
and Lido; uud, on the side of the Walla of CsJ-
sand, the new fort Napoleon, Itr. Sce.

_
With regard to the island of Wa:cheren, it is
said that they meat, to keep it. We should base
only cause to applaud this resolution, for 111.iity rea-
sons; tst. The English, although they hail .20,iton
men in the Wind of %Valclieren, could not pre-
vent it from being attacked and retaken ;
20,000 English. exposed to the influence of the
climate, would experience so much loss, that it
would he necessary to he continually reinforcing
them : that, in the course of the year. 80,000 men
a fluid as necessarily become victims to the climate,
iii it would cost them more to gourd this island
than to preserve the East Indies.; but it is pro-
bable that time would not be left for them to sutler
ouch losses. The channel between the two Islands
a so narrow, that bombs coil reach from the one
to the other. The twenh• ships of the line, and
the flotilla which we have in the Scheldt, would
soon make us masters of that river. It would not
be forgotten, that, four years :izo, cud with our
flotilla alone, we were masters of all the coasts:
can it he doubted that we should lie soon masters
of a closed sea ? and can it, at the same time, be
supposed, that the English would attempt to keep
Flushing, without being masters of the Scheldt
Besides, a flotilla is too dangerous a war fur them.
Such a war is not carried on by boats alone ; it is
conducted with excellent troops ; that is to sat,
with means which do not allow the English any
advantage over us.

We well know that men exist who, although
completely ignorant of the art of war, hate, not-
withstanding, the silly hahit of talking and
Touring to give counsel to those who err masters in
it; those people, yet more skilful than that pii!dic
speaker, who introduced the subject of war b..forc
Hannibal, tell you that the Engli,h, by preservi•ig
the Island •f Wslcheren, will make it a second
Gibraltar, or another Malts ; in fine, a command-
ing point, which will render them masters of Flan-
ders, of Holland. Poor mailmen ! they cannot
perceive that it the English persist in keeping the
Island of Walcheren, that circumstance would
be as adventurous for urn as if they were embar-
rassed in the heart of Spain.

In general, whenever an English army lands
upon the Continent, every real Frenchman ought
to rejoice. Such a contest is completely in our fa-
vour : a nation of 3 millions of men cannot meet,
man for man, a nation of 40 millions. A new army,
all the elements of which are in the navy, cannot
keep the field against the .incient bands, winch have
conquered two-third► of Europe; in fine, en army
which can only arrive by wur, has neither artillery,
cavalry, nor eqiiipages, at least it has a very great
inferiority in all these mewls. and Lord Chatham
really could not mount more than 2000 cavalry;
well ! before fifteen days were elapsed, the French
effective cavalry, which were assembled on the banks
of the Scheldt, amounted to 4000!

rr wiles we Moreover reflect, that the British truope are
not led on bye Marlborough, or a Wolfe, or even a Welles-
ley; we confess, that even in the contemplation of objects
purely national, and iinconnt eted with the fate of ,treitria,

NwreOPTite Mossirvtia.--This is a singular•
calculation which Lord Wellesley makes of the tirst
and fourth corps, and the reserve. The first corps
is composed of 36 battalions, the fourth of 30 ; the
reserve of en battalions, and the cavalry of 40 squu-
drorm Lord Wellesley had therefore around hits,
170 battalions, and 80 or 90 sqiiarli fans, and he ex-
pected to conquer Madrid with '20,000 mess 1 We
do not speak of the Spaniards ; they may he reckon-
ed as of consequence for plundering isolated per-
' sons, or fur defending themselves behind a wall, hut
very little account can be made of them in a regu-
lar battle, as the En4lisli may have been convinced.
If LorJ Wellesley bad had, besides his 10,000 mess.
the whole army of Lo►d Chatham, which went to
bury itself in the marshes of the Isle of Walchrren,
he could have derived nothing from his ex,,edition
but disgrace, confusion, and defeat. If the English
mean to dispute Spain with France, they must land
an army, if not equal to the French arias, at least
toe-thirds as strong, that is to say, of at least
1.50,000 men, for the Spaniards cannot be reckon-
ed for more than one-third in a regular battle.
Nothing can be loom advantageous to France
than to have the English clime in laud-wars ; for

shall conquer her on the continent. Suds a con-

COVEIT-GARDI?N THEATRE.—OcT. to.

It is with the utmost satisfaction we have to no-
tice the first bright tl.to Mug of retuiiiiiig sense and
justice among the frequenters of the Theatre.—
Thi, evening, at least the ear:ier moiety of it,
presented the a iiimph of harmony, nl natire ta-
lent, over brutality and the discord of those who
are the eneniii s of t dent of every species. The
house was rather thin at the commencement of
The Woodman, awl continued so till half-price;
but the absence of company was nal ply compen-
sited by the presence of quiet. The overture and
first part of the opera were heard with little interrup-
tion, and even that little was $OOll happily termi-
nated, by the apprehendbit of a person in the gal-
lery, most active in promoting it. After this, the
audience were as silent end attentiveirs ever we 14 it-
nessed them upon any itccasion. lorlednn, in the
delightful mug of The Skeenalet that fluniti nomad
her cot, and blondest, NI his conic son 4, io the
first act, were both excured, The. two enebsoting
rptertettes, in tie wine act, were also received with
thunders of deserved applause; and, indeed, lit this
Ple.asitig period, we had nrsthiug to lainein but the
excess of approbation bestowed, which robbed us
of some sweet notes, and the extaitation of 3 sensi-
ble nurlieuc-t, again rejoiced to see and hear their old
favourites. The various performers were respective-
ly grieteil, oil their entry, with great applause, and
it seemed Ili if this Ia 'Told! was the night on which
this saner!, theatre was 1414 eltrele the
oriel a the secnitil net, hovever, the totlinisatom of JU
or 40 maleontents,et half-price,comple:ely changed
the scene, and from thence ell was chaos, to the con-
clusion of the piece. The uproar commenced with
&struggle made in the back rows of the pit, to take
one of the most littlest of the rioters into custody,
who was secured, after a eery tough and noi-y coo-
test. floe. Hellman viss taken from the boxes; nod,
with this exception, front the begistoing pis Cie end
of the opera, mere was neither placard, horn, netle,
nor other iostrament of noise, to be heard or seen.
Mrs. Diekons hove the bravura of Hear me! with
exquisite effect; and Emery Pilled and "'I
Molest Bob of the Miff, iu excellent style. Bel-
lamy, in faielup, Mrs, Liston. in Deily, and, in-
deed, all the other Dramatis Person*, were well
suptaorted, and deservedly applauded. The con-
test between what ore called the hired Jews, on the
one side, and the desperate-looking ruffians, Who
;ire seat in at two shillings a-head, to oppose, on the
oilier, completely destroyed the 'third act ; hot,
upon the whole, re nee entertain the most flutter- '

in a short time were withdrawn. -

Two or three persons in the two shillings gallery
ventured at a timid effort, but, finding that it ems
not attended with all the safety they could wish,
they 'desisted. Notwithstanding that the tumult,
during:the Farce. was great, it was much lees than
the most tranquil of the former nights, the voices,
end even the words, being often distinguished from
the stage. Upon the whole, we are happy to have
it in our power to state, that the disgraceful up-
roar which has so long existed. to the injury of
many perstins, And to the disgrace of the tuitional
tast►, is now to be presumed at an end, or, at all
events, drawing fast to a dose.
After the curtain dropped, those who should be
designated the public, withdrew ; we mean those
ladies and gentlemen who are above being se-
tasted by sinister motives, or enlisting them-
selves under their banners. Tirte'rieteros or ha/-
price mesh seemed to act cautiously ; they went
from the pit in a body, alter hiving held
a kind of convention fur near • quarter of
au hour. During the time this revireetable body
were in cousultation, they sent emissaries to the
front of the boxes, who used every kind of threat-
ening language, but were treated a ith the contempt
they deserved. The most eonspirileas per-on
amongst this remnant of the pivirlle noise, as they
have designated themselves, were the Proprietor
of the only :pewit); 41rop. rensaitailig in this city,
mid a member of the Comestuts council, whose &illy
ocenpatiow calls him to DOCIOre COMMALI. At
