LINES BEFORE FLUSHING.

AUGUST 16, Isop.—The following orders were
issued by Lieutenant-General Sir EYILE COOTE :
The garrison of Flushing having surrendered
prisoners of war, Lietatennnt-General Sir Matt
COOTE sincerely congratulates the troops under his
immediate command, on the brilliant results of their
great gallantry,:and unwearied exertions. -
" In every affair in which the army has been en-
gaged since the landing; it has nobly:upheld that
superiority, for valour, enterprise, and discipline,
over a proud and vaunting enemy, of which .if had,
upon former occasions, given repeated and nud.c-
niable proofs. The Royal Artillery has particularly
distinguished itself during the 'siege; of. which no
greater evidence can be required, than the present
disastrous state of the town of Flushing.
Sir:Evai COOTS; cannot omit this opportunity
o+ noticing irt Nubile orders, the' high sense he en-
tenants of the zealous co-operation and ' valuable
services of the brigade of seamezi, under the conc.
mand of Capt. RICHARDSON and his Officers. •
To such troops it would be an insult :to 'recom-
mend humanity and protection' Co those Who haVe
fallen into 11)&0- power; but the I,ienienant-General
deems it right to call upon them. to treat the .utilor=
tunate and innocent inhabitants of Flushing, and its
vicinity, with all possible i lenty, kindness, and
attention." • •
