alone presented itself to your' feelings,.seliCitonc, not
to replace your Royal Vi&im in the hearts of a loyal

and suborned ; .whom you knew to be vindielive, mer-
cenary and held ; who you were conscious possessed'
the art and power of forgery, though you then
lieved her as incapable of that crime, as you did of
perjury—before she touched your own pocket, and,
you were called upon to settle• accounts with the pct-

L 0 N D ON,

ii-IiTBSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1809.

Plivate Letters have this mrrning been received
in Town, announcing the important intelligence of
the surrender of Flushing; but we-feel ii to be our
duty to slate that no such accounts have been 'received
at the Admiralty, either by Telegraph or otheirwise,
of such an event•having taken place. We have, how-
ever, very little doubt of the fact, for the bombard-
ment was so dreadful, that it was almost impossible
that thlawcri should hold out many' d:►ys. The
following Letter contains the most detailed account
of this important conquest :

" MIDDLEBURG H, TUIti.DAY, AITZRNOON,
A-uGUsT 15, 1809. •

." Flushing, after having been exposed, during
The two last nights„•to a most tremendous, bom-
bardment, offered to surrender at half past .two this
morning. The place has not yet been formally
taken possession of by the British troops ; but the
delay has arisen, not from any supposition that the
garrison could possibly hold out longer, or any con-
sequent difficulty respe6ting terms, but for the pur-
pose of adjusting satisfsElOrily some details of mi-
nor importance; which, though not'esse,ritial to the
merits, are necessary to the execution of the condi..

►ions of surrender.

The garrison are to be, prisoners of war ; and,.
indeed, such had been the progress made by the Bri-
!isii-na-;a1 and land forces against the yiprks
