N.B. .1 have just heard that the expe&ed 'supply
of Provisians is in part arrived, which obviates dif-
ficulty on. my. part.
S tat,

Brunswick, August 9, !US.
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your Excellency's
.letter of this morning, and
(0 :conratulate you and the Spanish Nation on the
firm and manly step you have taken on this impor-
tant occasion. Circumstances of weather unavoid-
ably prevent the arrival of two Ships of : the Line
now in sight. I send Captain Graves, of the Bruns-
wick, informed of my ideas, to see what. uses can
be made of the Vessels at present -at Nyborg. In
ray present situation I cal, receive nearly fifteen
hundred men. on board ; and, under all circum-
Stances, it appears to the the most advisable to convey
,the Troops with all Expedition to Langeland ; and,
.as it appears. to be the opinion of your Aid-de-
tamp that you will bO. in.. a situation to mathtain
that Island, to take posts there till the arrival of
-Transports to embark the Army, I shall order Sea-
men in to man twenty of the Smacks at present in
the, Port, and more as the .Ships arrive. I appre-
hend the baggage and artillery bad better be em-
,barked in- them, and moved out under my FL:tee-
'lion. • Among the Spanish Troops perhaps Seamen
spay be found; and I would suggest the propriety
of the immediate establishment of a Marine Corps
on the most extensive stale-possible; and- I request
• your Excellency to keep in mind, the embarkation
of water and- provisions with the troops, itt Our pre
heat circumstances, ii of great consequence..
r have the honour to be, Sec.

SIR, Brunswick, ofl*Nyborg, Aux.
9.
• His Excellency the Commander in Chief of the
Spanish Forces in Denmark having deemed it ex-
pedient under the .preSent circumstances to take
possession of Nyborg, my duty naturally calls me
-to a co-operation with. the Troops of that nation,
"and a consequent frequent communication 'with the
town of Nyborg. To place your Excellency as
much at ease as possible respe&ing the line of con-
dua that may be adopted in the present event by
the English Admiral commanding in the Belt, not-
withstanding the hostility of this day, I, have the
honour to inform you, that I have given the stri&est
orders to all under my command, to observe,to-
..,Nyards, the inhabitants of Nyborg, the utmost et-
; and it is my wish .to abstain from every
bo-..tile and offensive aa, so long as no hostile and
offensive measures are pursued by the Troops -of
,‘ Denmark or France against those of. -Spain ; but if
any 'opposition should be attempted either .by the
Danes or French to the peaceable and. .unotfending
obje& in view, namely, the quiet embarkationof the.
Spanish Treops, I shall certainly, thoiagh most re-
- luEtantly, take measures which it, is to be 'appre-
hended might Occasion the destruetion. of the Town
of Nyborg.
I have the Honour to be, &c.

TwAn of Nyborg. •

SIR. Hound, Nybarg Harboetr. Aug. so.
It Must be evident to your Excellency, that as
sny entrance into the harbour of Nyborg was
hostilely Opposed, I am bound by uo:absolute law
or usage '4' 4''Se"':Lusla from hostilities, an 4 :to respect
the property of the inhabitants. But- although
neither one nor the other could be better secured
than by the- Word.of a British OfUer, still it must
be evident to your Excellene'y that under existing
circumstances, the Spanish General has occasion for
several of the sthall. Craft in Port, and that unless th©
Masters and Crews of them will lend their aid to
equip and navigate their Vessel, it may not be in nky
power to secure them from injury but if they will,
I pledge myself, after the service on which they are
required '(and which will be of short duration) shall
have been ended, that I will not only use every
means in my power to secure them from injury, bUt
grant Passports to :hem all to return in safety..
have the hon Our to be, &c. •

the further satisfa&ion of assuring their, 'Lordships

;His Majesty's Ships at Nyborg will be landed in the
course of this afternoon at Langeland.
A Convention has been entered into between His
Excellency the Marquis De La Romans and the Go-
%ernor of-the Island, which, on one hatirt? enjoins
abstinence from hostility, and.on the Other, a sniff-
, cient supply of provisions, provided'the-Tsland, which
is fertile, can produce it. I am, Sir, &c
