Rear Admiral Otway, &c. dire.

Extract of a Letter from Commodore fhren to Rear-Admiral
Otway, dated Clyde in the Veer Gat, 9th December, 1809.
If the enemy molest our retreat, we feel a confidence in our
strength, and the spirits of my people will not let him tread
upon our heols. It is an excellent spirit, and I will endeavour
to regulate it so far as to avoid committing them improperly.
E. W. C. N. OWEN.

Blake, in Flushing Roads, Dec. 13, 1809.

Sta—ln addition to my dispatch of this morning, I have now
to transmit a letter, and an extract of one ! have just received
from Commodore Owen : every (line I hear from that gallant
and animated officer, I have fresh cause to admire his conduct.
I think it my duty to inform you that I ffrind the squadron
wider my command in the highest spirits, and ready to under-
take au. enterprize.
I propose, as soon as I have made my final arrangements at
Flubbing, to leave this command with Rear Admiral Otway, and
proceed to Were Gat to communicate with Commodore Owen.
I have the houour to be, &c. B. J. STRACIIAN.

Favourite Cutter, Dcc.,ll, 1809, off Ter Vere.
. .

SIR-I am happy to find, by a report this day- from Capt.
Carteret, that the exertions of our gun-boats have completely
succeeded in preventing the progress of the enemy on the Wool-
versdyke. I informed Rear-Admiral Otway that the duty heieg
heavy on the division of gun-boats in advance, I had ordered
that of Acting Captain Rich to relieve it. This %vas done, and
to-day every emhrazure the enemy had opened is said to be com-
pletely levelled by their fire.
(Signed) E. W. C. R. OWEN.
