Stsperb,'njj Langeland, Aug. 5.
Sins.-..? have the honour to inform you, that I. have re-
ceived from my Government the most positive instruction to en-
deavour to communicate with the Spanish Officers commanding
the troops of that &dims in the vicinity of my command, and to
concert with them measures to secure their retreat from any
place or embarkation which they may possess, and for placing
them in a state of security until transports for their reception
can be provided to convey them to Spain, forwhich, as well as
the uecessary provisions, measures have already been take*,
and indeed of the arrival of thetw / ars in hourly expectation..
Until that period shall arrive, they are welcome to share in the
accommodation and provisions of the ships under my commands
hut as that might 1101 sherd ample means at present. although
I am in expectation of the Commander in Chief, I would sus.
Rest under the pressure of .circumstances, the removal of the
troops to some of the Islands in the Delt for their perfect se-
curity. But as a measure of this magnitude to the interests of
the Spanish nation would necessarily require a concerted pion,
lest by attention to partial interests the general one might suf-
fer, I request an unreserved and eosifidential communication,
•either to the ships of Nyburg, that stationed of Langeland, or
any of his Britanuic Majesty's ships in the Belt, and through
the bearer of this, or by any other memo. I propose sending
no Sunday, unless I should earlier receive some person on board,
a flag of truce, under some pretest, to the Spanish post at
sp()%sherg, and if this should be safely received, I wish, in
token of it, a small goard might parade in some conspienous
hituation at noon to-marrow, near the English ship at anchor,
or under sail near Spoysherg.
In my present situation it is impossible, ardently as I enter'
info the views of my Goiernmenl and the Spanish nation, to
attempt to lay down any fitted plan. My services, and that of
every Englishman under my commute!, are devoted to the cause;
but before measures eau• be adopted, we must communicate,
agree on, and combine as far as it may be possible, the interests
of the Spanish- troops in Jutland and Zeolund with those in
Yawn and Langeland. I shall keep a ship for some days off
Spo.sberg ; and every ship under my command will be on the
look-out to receive any boats that may approach them. I have
the honour to be, site.

Sin,--1 have the honour to nehnowledge the receipt of your
Fheellen;y's letter of this morning, and to congratulate 3nu and
the Spanish Nation on the firm asstl minty step you have taken
on this important occasion. Circumstances of weather una-
voidably prevent the • arrival of two ships of the line, how in
sight. I sent Captain ('cave s, of the lfrunwick, ittforined of
my ideas, to see what use can be made of the vessels at' present
is Nyberg.—ln my present situation I east receive nearly l!,00
men on board; and under all circumstances it appears to true the
most ad visahle to convey the troops w itisalle x petit inn ta Lunge-
land; and as it appears to he the opinion of you Aid-de-Camp
that you will be in a sitaation to maintain that island, to take
