Dispatches, of which the following are copies, were received

last right at this t) ice from Sir Richard. Jobn Strachan, Dart.
and K. B. Rear Admiral or the White, &c, addiesacti to the
lion. William Wellesley Peie.
St. I.)(;ming°. Flashing Roads, Ak.r. 17.
S: a, I have much satisfaction in acquainting you. for the infor,
ovation of their Lordships, that the Townand Garrison of Hush-
ing capitulated upon the terms, a copy of which 1 send herewith.
Their Lordships have already been apprised that it was my
intention to have proceeded up the Scheldt, with the division
of friAates under Lord William Stuart, and that the greater part
of onr Flotilla had advanced to Baithz, in the charge of Sir
Home Popham, by whom the enemy were driven above Lille,
where their ships and pin-brigs had taken up a strong position.
The command of the important service of the Scheldt I have
given to Sir Richard Keats, and he has my directions to co-
operate with Lieut.-General the Earl of Rmlyn, as well as to
nne every means in his power for capturing or destroying the
fleet rod flati ila oft he enemy.
Rear-Admiral Lord Gardner remained with the ships named
in the margin* off Dykeshook, and his Lordship had received
my direction to hold that squadron in readiness to go against
the garrison of Flushing.
On the ittli was informed by Lord Chatham, that
the advanced batteries were sufficiently prepared to open on the
n any the day following, at one o'clock in the afternoon; and
as it appeared tome of consequence that the line of battle ships
should pass the town at thesame moment, I therefore abandoned
my intention of going up to the advanced flotilla, and proceed.
tug to Dykustioo, hoisted my flag in the St. Domingo. The
batteries opened on the garrison as it was previously settled, at
o;e in the afternoon of the 13th inst. and the fire was returned
with great vigour by the enemy.
The bombs and gun-vessels under the direction of Capt. Cock-

burn, of the Beljeisle, were most judiciously placed at the south
east es ti of the town; and to the south west, Capt. Open, of the
CI s de. had Tv it h equal -kill and judgment, placed the bomb and
atllee vessels under his orders.
.1 had much satisfaction in wit-
oyes ing the fire that was kept up by the sqoadrous under these two
waken, and the precision with which tlse shells were thrown
from the bombs. Unfortuuately the wind was too Kant wallow
me to weigh when the Cutleries opened, hut it proved more
favourable the following day, I immediately put that intention
into execution, and ht ten in the'forenoon of the 14th, proceeded
with the Sla VS already named towards Flushing, meaning to pass
to a more convenient anchorage for placing the squadron against
it, when .uch 4 measure should appear to be necessary. This
squadron was led iu by the St. Domingo, bearing my flag, and
I was followed by the Blake, with the flag of Rear-Admiral
Lord Gardner; the other ships advanced in succession, Sno.
after ye had opened our fire, the witol came more southerly,
and the St. Dinning° grounded inside of the Dog Saud. Lord
Cari;iier not knowing our situation passed inside of us? by which
a • ,slake al-or grounded. The other ships were immediately
clii,eted to haul off, and anchor as previously intende.,. After
hello.: some time in this situation, during which the enemy's fire
slackeoed, by the active and zealous exertions of Capt..o wen,
of she Clyde, who came to our assistauee, and anchored close to
the gt. Domingo, she was got off, and soon after 1 had the satis-
faction of seeing the Blake also afloat, and come to anchor with
the' rest of the squadron. I was much pleased with the conduct
and exertions of Capt. Gill, of the St. Domingo, and his officers,
and with the steadiness, energy, and good order of the ship's
company. Lord Gardner bears equal testimony to the behaviour
of the officers, seamen, and mat ines, of the Blake,, and his Lord-
ship
mentions the assistance he received front Capt. Codrington
in the highest terms of praise.
The fire of the eueloy towards the evening had considerably
abated, the town was burning in many places, and MIAs
damage was done to the houses. At seven o'clock 1 received a
inessage from ticatenant-General Sir Eyre Cause, requesting
I woold cease hostilities, us a summons had been sent into
; but at 'light the lire a7ain commenced, and yv as kepi
up o ithotit iiitermissioo until two zr'clock of the morning of the
151 n, when the French Commandant. General Monne, offered
to surrender. This was ~;,:nntunicated to me by the Lieut.-Gen.
audits consequence I directed the flag of truce to he hoisted at
day-light on b,,ard his ol.tiesty's ships, and that hostilkie,
shmild cease. The LieutoCengral having also intimated his
wish, that two Commissioners should be Sent on the part of the
Navy, to assist in the proposed Capitulation, I accordingly
nomipated Lord Gardner to meet Sir Eyre Coate, at Last Zoo.
burg, and to take with him Captain Cockburn, to act in con-
junction with the Officers 'on'the part of the army. Shortly
after I received a message from the Earl of Chatham, requestin.,
to see me at Zoubuig. On my arrival there, 1 found his Lori"-
p,had selected Colonel Long, Adjutant-General of the Army,
and Captain Cockburn, to be the Commissioners for settling the
ternisof Canitulatiou, which were finally couauded late iu the
evening of the 15th.

In the extensive and various branches of the service commit-
ted to my care, their Lordships must be aware, that it would
be impo.,ilde that all the Hag 011icecs could be employed in
the effettive.O.tips under tpty command ; but I an no, less i 9 Ma-

A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, w this morn-
ing received at the Office of Viscount Castlereagh, one of his
Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, from Lieut.-General
the Earl of Chatham,K.U. dated Head-quarters, Middleburg,
Aug. IS, 1809.

Middleburg, Aug. 18, 1809.
MY LORD-1-I have the honour to transmit, for your Lord-
ship's information, a copy of the Articles of Capitulation*, for
the surrender of the towns of Zeiricksie and Ilruwershaven,
and the islands of Schawen and Duiveland, concluded, on the
15th inst. by Lieutenant-General the Earl of aosslyn and Rear,
Admiral Sir Richard Keats, with the Deputies of those tawu
and islands; and I have much satisfaction in acquainting your
Lordship, that I have every reason to believe we shall be en,
ahled to draw very ample supplies of cattle, spirits, and bis-
cuits from that quarter.
The inclosed return of the late garrison of Flashing, received
from General Monnet, last night, so materially differs from
that which accompanied my dispatch of the 16th inst. that I
think it expedient to transmit it, for your Lordship's'itiforman
tion.

I am also informed that the enemy, during this service, has
suffered a very heavy loss in killed and wounded, which, to..
getter with the prisoners of war who have fallen into our
ham's, the enemy's force, opposed to us in this island may very
fairly be stated at 9000 men.
