MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1809.

It is with the most 'sincere pleasure that we find
ourselves enabled to communicate to our R aders,
3n account of the suceesst u_ cuiumencetnetit of the
operations of our Expedition. Yesterday afternoon
the Admiralty were apprizAti, by a Telegraphic Mes-
eAge from Deal, that Fluslijug was closely invested,
titld that the rest of the Island of Walcheren, was in
our possession. In a very short time after the re-
ceipt of this Telegraphic Message, Lieut. DUNCAN
iftii.ed at the Admiralty with Dispatches from the
commander in C;,ief, dated Mi-ddieburgh, the 2d
a id 3d nest. Aathig, that ihe whole of the Island of
Vialcher, %t 411 the, exception of Flushing, had
'been talt.,.n possession of by our troops, after sonic
resistance, in which a number of prisoners were
liken from the enemy ; and that the island of South
,d been 'taken possession of by the divi-
sion of our :troops,-under the command of Sir Joni.
BoPg. The substande of this inelligence was this
In-Owing corom.!42atel to-the Lord Mayor in the
following letter fro L'JCLICASTLEREAGH—.

ho,coi;l/41 at ow Half past Eight &Clock,
Moncby Morning, 7th Aitgust,
' Downing-street, August 6, 1809.

" MY LORD,

I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship,
that Dtspatches have hien received from the Earl, of
Artitot, dated the 2d and 3d instant, from Mid-
dleburg, by which it appears, that the Island of Wal-
cheren has been occupied by his Majesty's troops,
and the fortress of Flushing invested, after some re-
istance, is which a considerable number of prisoners
*ere taken from the Enemy.

I,land of South Beveland has also been
take possession of by the Division under the orders
of Lteutenant,General Sir J. HOPE.
" I.have the honour to be
'‘ Your Lordship's,rnost obedient
" And faithful Servant,

" CASTLEREAGH.

'4' The Ri:tht Hon. the Lord Mayor."

Lieut. DUNCAN was aho the bearer of Dispatches

from Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, dated off the Veer
Gat, the 4th and 5.h inst. He came over in the
Ras Cutter, and left the lel et at one o'clock, P. M.
on Saturday lost. it appea,s from the a,paiches of
the Rear-Admiral, that on the morning of the 29th
ult. Sir RICHARD KEATS, on the arrival of the
Armament, shifted his Flag into the Sal:elle Frigate,
and proceeded into the Roompot Channel, with the
Divison under the command of Sir JOHN HOPE, and
anchored the whole in safety opposite Zerickee, be-
tween the Islands of Schowen and North Beveland.
As it was found that there was sufficient space in

the Roompot Channel to contain all the Ship, the
Squadron, led by the Venerable, came safe to etcher
off the Veer GAI on the 30th. On the same:ilay
the Troops, were landed in Walcheren, in exOlent
order, and without
.opposition, the Enemy inving
been previously completely driven from the Detlazak
battery by the Gun-boats and Bombs.

The next morning Camveer was summoned, but
held out, and the fire of the gun-boats were direded
against it with great effeEt, but three of them were
sunk. At night some rockets were thrown into the
nearest battery, upon which the Commanding Of-
ficer sent out an Officer of the town to surrender the
place.

On the Ist inst. Sir JOHN HOPE landed at We-
meldinge, on the North side of South Beveland, and

took possession of that Island. The enemy's ships
retrcAted up the Scheldt beyond LiUo, and some of
,them as far as Antwerp.
On the 4th instant, the fort of Rammakens sur-
rendered to his Majesty's forces under the command
of Major-General F4AZEI.. The possession of this
fort is considered as being of the utmost importance,
as• it will effealually prevent any succours being
thrown into Flushing, either from Cadsand, or the
Ghent Channel.

It also appears, that on the approach of the Com-
bined Force under Sir R. KEATS and Sir R. STttA-

CHAN, the important post of Barhz was evacuated
by the enemy.
Middleburg surrendered without firing a shot, but
the enemy' made a sortie from Flushing, when a
smart a6tion took place, in which we had about 300
men killed and wounded; but the enemy suffered se-
verely. The number of prisoners taken amounted
to near 2,000 men.

When the Idas came away. , Flushing was closely
invested.

Such is the Substance of the intelligence received
by Government : our Readers may place the most
implicit reliance upon the accuracy of our statement.
We congrattilate the Public on this auspicious com-
mencement of our operations, and we trust we shall
soon have to ,communicate to our Readers, intelli-
gence equally important and satisfaaory.

We this morning received German Papers to
the 29th ult. from which we have made some' ex-
traets. They state, but not in an official or very
positive manner, that the Preliminaries of Peace
have been signed between France and Austria. An.
article from Nuremburgb states, that the KING of
PRUSSIA has sequestrated all the dornaius and estate&
of the Duke of BRUNSWICK OELS.

The Gazette of Saturday contains the official cc-
Count of the gallant n in the Baltic, which we
mentioned on Wednesday last. It will be found in
the Last Page. •

The intelligence brought by the Arethusa , which
arrived from Corunna last Saturday, after a passage
/0 four days, is of the most satisfaetoty nature. The
enemy were retreating in all direaions before the
Marquis de RorIANA, who, according ,to the last
accounts, was at Astorga, at the head of 24,000
men, well armed and equipped. Sou LT had effetsl-
- his escape with the wreck of his army, which did
,not exceed 5000 men, principally cavalry, and was
supposed to be in the neighbourhood of Zamoia.--•
His design 'was probably to retreat to Madrid. An
interview has taken place between Sir Awrituk
WELLESLEY, and General CuisTA, for the purpose
of concerting a plan of operations.

Yesterday his MAJESTY, the Duke Of CAMBRIDGE
Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and MARY, accom-
panied by Lady ISABELLA. THYNNE, General CART--
wul GHT, and Colonel DESBRow, rode to St: Georg,e's
Chapel, and heard a Sermon preached by the Hon.
and Rev. Dean LEGGE, and afterwards returned to
the PdlaCe•

This day the Princess AMELIA completes her 26th
year, and the same will be celebrated as usual.
Letters were yesterday received from Jamaica,
brought by the Eclipse schooner, letter of marque,
in 28 days. At the departure of this vessel, no
tidinE.,,s had been received of the capture of St...
Domingo ; but the last accounts left our Expedi-
tion before that city. Oh the land-side, there were
nearly ten thousand Spaniards -to co-operate with
the British, provided it should be necessary to at-
tack by storm. The prevalent opinion, however,
was, that the place would surrender without any re-
sistance ; the French having declared their inten-
tion to do so, in case the British force that came
against them was respeaable in point of numbers ;
but they would not submit to any Spanish force,
however large.

A vessel arrived in the River on Saturday has
brought the following communication
.4c AMSTARDAM, JULY 22, 'lBo9.—The French
' Ambassador made it known yesterday by an official
communication, that no American Citizen would
be admitted into France after the first day of August
next, unless furnished with original passports taken
by them in Me United States : 1-la,sports from Ame-
rican Agents in Europe (Ministers or Consuls)
would not avail, and .the original passports from
the United States were to be revised by the Ameri-
' can Agents abroad, and afterwards legalised by the
Fa ench Authorities, in the places through which they
might pass." •

GERMAN PAPERS.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

-BANKS or Ta s ELBE, JULY 28;—For almost a
whole week many persons of good information con-
tinued to doubt the authenticity of the miserable
Armistice'contludedby the weak Emperor FRANCIS,
particularly as some of the public Papers, even the
Berlin Gazette,-scarcely mentioned its`conelusion on
the 13th July, and not on the 12th, as given by or-
ders of the French Minister in the Hamburgh Cor-
respondenten of the 21st inst.
These doubts have now, however, vanished, as
there are certain advices of the Preliminaries of
Peace having been also agreed upon. The Armistice
in the territorial dominions is said to contain the chief
conditions of this unexpeEtect Peace.

The weakness of the Emperor FRANCIS has ac-
celerated this event, and the heroic Archduke

CHARLES was at first wholly against it, but all his
representations were fruitless.
The threats-of Russia, the 'advance of her troops,
and those of Poland to the confines of Moravia, are
likewise stated to have precipitated that eventful mea-
sure. In a note addressed by the Emperor FRANCIS
himself to the Governor of Munn, inserted in the
Berlin Gazette, this weak Monarch owns that the

centre and right wing of the Archduke CHARLES'S
army had been conquered, but preserved a strong
position at the foot of the Bisam.mountains, in Mo-
ravia. In the battle of the 7th, the Archduke
CHARLES is said to have taken ten pieces of cannon,
twelve eagles, and many ,prisoners from the enemy.
FRANcIs thus concludes--

" OUr loss is much less considerable than in the
battle of Aspern, and that of the French as much
greater than at Aspern."
At the same time the Austrians were again acl-7:
vancitig into Saxony, and had driven the-Duke of
ABRANTEIS, with great loss, from Bayreuth. The
Tyrolians and Vorulbergers both made an attack
upon the enemy, and Count GIULAY had re-occu-
pied Gratz; and, in an a(;tion,on the oth, the Aus-
trians made six hundred prisoners : yet all these ad-
vantages have pros ed of no avail, and he brave T) ro-
lians and VOralbergrs are abandoned to their fate.

The consequences of the Armistice of Znaim,
ought to make the infatuated Emperor of Russia
tremble for the safety of his dominions, since NAPO-
LEON has aheady made himself his neighbour, by
putting up ins eagles in the newly conquered Aus-
ian king.lom of Gallicia, in spite of the co-opera-
tion and occupation of-teat kingdom by the Russian
army. This ought to open the eyes ut tt►e deluded,
insulted ALEXANDER.

The Dutch troops lately co-operating with the
Saxons and Westplialians, are now on their march
to lirctnen, and the coasts of the North Sea. The
king t,t Westphalia, with his army, is also expeL•ted
in t-Lnover, and Hanu is also to have a garrison
of sotne thousands of Dutch and Westphalian troops,
and the Duke of Abrantes is expeeted to fix his head
quaff tors I here.

The great number of American ships lately arrived
at Tonnirigen, have occasioned a considerable tall in
all colonial produce in the liarriburgh Market, but
they have risen since the Armistice. The poor Ha-
noverians still hope for the deliverance soon, as
'their despair is excessive ..Ance they have been in-
formed that a conscription fOr the service of France
and the King of Westphalia, will take place in Hano.
ver, in 8 IQ., The inhabitants all execrate the French
yoke, and adtife‘ their lawful Sovereign, the King of
'Great Britain. As soon as' a small force' landed at
,Cuxhaveri; serious disturbances took place '
in Han-
over and at' Brcillerl. In the former place, the peo-
ple stopped the waggons with Money, which the
French wanted.fq lake:away:.

maney. Agreat quanity or corn was seized in the
, -
the barns, and Mainou, as well as the neighbouring
viilages plundered.
In the evening, at 7 o'clock, Count ARES came
with a corps of troops from Beneclia Bayern, and by
a violent lire of grape shot, put the insurgents to
flight, with the loss of several hundreds killed and
wounded, go prisoners, and two pieces of cannon,
and pursued them as far as the pass of Scharmtz.—
:They saved little of the requisitions, and the Bava-

rian troops who engaged them were mostly re-

cruiti.

• VIENNA, JULY 1 s.—Yesterday afternoon Prince
jou N of Lichtenstein, who has been very grackously
received in his audience by NAPOLEON, arrived
here, to negociate the peace with the French Min-
ister of State, Count CILAMPAGNY.

The Emperor FRANCIS, as is generally asserted
hoe, is much in favour of peace, and cliorged the

Archduke, in writing, to open negociat!o-, for it,
even with considerable sacrifices, in order to put ar
,end to the dreadful etfusiOn of blood. Previous to
the signing of the Armistice, some chief points had
been.agreed upon, which are to form the bads of
the peace about to be made. An immediate peace
was expeCted ; nay, bets were laid that the Emperor
NAPOLEON will be at Paris by his birth-day, the
15th August. The rumour of his setting out from
Schoenbrunn to Paris, so soon as to-day, appears to
be premature. The inhabitants of the city, no
the killed are buried, go daily in great numbers to
view the fields of battle near Esslingen, Wagram,
Aspern, and Enzersdof; they are surprised at the
enormous entrenchment which the Archduke
CHARLES had ordered to be thrown up in 40 dap
round, his camp—but it causes still more surprises
that it should have been possible to force them,
BUt the best soldiers, who have made many cain-
paigns, declare, that NAPOLEON never evinced inure
'skill and genius than on the two deci,ive days, the
sth and 6th July. It was by the most ingenioui
manteuvres that on the sth, in the forenoon, he
forced, without considerable loss, a part of the
Austrian army to, quit its strong position, or be•
turned. Even the one manoeuvre which Genera
HILLER made, on the forenoon of the 6th, to turn
the left wing of the French army, with 40,000
Men, was foreseen by NAPOLEON, who immediate-
ly gave the necessary orders to render it fruitless.—
In other respeets, the French do the Austrians the
justice of declaring they fought gallantly, their Ge.
nerals and soldiers having shunned no danger ; but
they were no match for NAPOLEON in military science,
and the experience of his Generals and warriors.--

MUNICH, JULY Ig.—Though the Bavarians ap-
prised the Austrians, in the Valley of the Inn, of
theiArmistice, still, reinforced by great numbers of
insurgents, they attacked, on the 17th, Brigadier
Count AaEs, with great violence, near Roche' and
Murnace, but were repulsed with great loss, after
an obstinate contest.

JULY 20.—The King has made the. French Minis
ter OTTO, at his Cour , Grand Cross, one of tbp
Order of Civil Merit called " the Crown" and his
Secretary, BOYNE, a Knight of the Lime order..‘

PHENCH PRISON,3RS.—Last Friday evening one •
of the prisoners on parole at Launceston, made his
escape, and has not since been heard of. About
three weeks ago, three of the prisoners in the new
prison on Dartmoor* hid themselves beneath the
filth and otfals of a ding cart, and natuallY escaped
in this manner from the prison ; but soon alter, the
boy who drove the tart, perceiving something
move, gave the alarm, when the Frdnchmen were
secured by some soldiers who chanced to be near,
and re-conveyed to prison. About the same time,
a general escape was projeaed frorn this great na-
tional prisbn, by perforating the solid wall;
the massive appearance ut the sirudure would seeill
to bid defiance to such an attempt. A timely di*.
covert/ marred the projeCt.

On Wednesday e‘ening, after the mail-coach had
left Hadthngion for the South, as the horses w ere go-
ing rapidly down a hill, a-child was running across
the road, but'not Last enongh to get our ut the wol
of the coach, and the driver's attempt to slop the
horses was in vain. Tiie mother, with another

ful death w hich threatened it. Just as she luta
seized the child her foot slipped, and al three were

A

„a sudden jerk of the horses, whose
feet did not touch any of them, the coach turned a
little round, and they were all taken from oetwecil
the wheels unhurt.
