Previous to the embarkation, Major-General CAR-
MICHAEL issued. a general order, which concludes
With the following spirited passage :—`"Flie French
General has declared that he was determined to
his pest to the last extremity ; and the troops
under his command partaking of his "sentiments, he
depended too much upon, their bravery and attach-
ment' to doubt of success.' The Major-General
commanding, thinks it -perfealy sutlicient to Make
this known to those. who serve a good King and a
just cause, and to bear in their recollection the illus-
trious NELSON'S communication to the Navy, that
England expeas every mail to do his duty.'

The enemy's force both at Walcheren- and Flush-
ing is ascertained not,to be very numerous„ It cer-
tainly did not, accbrding to the accounts which
reached Government on Thursday, exceed three
thodSand men. We have been favoured with the
following extiact, of a letter, written by an Officer
on board the second division a few minutes before it.

" Our destination is unknown ; but fromthe or-
ders we have on board, there can be no doubt that
our division' is destined to attack the fleet at Flo Wing.
We are all prepared for a long march. 1, like other
Officers, have been obliged to purchase a portable
knife, fork, and spoon, all in one piece, a canteen
to sling oyef my shoulder to hold water, and a haver-

MONTHLY REPORT FOR JULY.

.
The Wheat :Crops have -generally• gone off the
'bloom well;. but in the principal corn distri6ts of
Kent and Essex, they are too thin on the ground for
a considerable prbduce : in the midland counties
they are far more promising. Upon cold cloy soils.
the Oats and Barley have not recovered from the
heavy rains which koved so injurious to these plants
in the spring ; but on light lands they primlise
full average CrOp.Beans, Pease, and A articles of
the pulse kind, prove 'generally ddedive. The
harvest will, probably prove a late one,. Potatoes
look prbmisingly iu , most counties ; but in Ireland,
where they are so essential to the sustenance of the
people, the'crops arelikely to prove very light, troth
the drought that has continued so long in that
island. The Hcp plantations have much recovered
by the favourable rains, and areexpeaed to tut n out
half a crop.—The Meat Markets have declined in
price considerably in the cotirse of Ole tnonth„,,par--
ticularly Smithfield, from its abundant ,suiiplies.—r-
Lean StOck continues dear, bath in Sheep and neat
Cattle.—The Wool Market had a further rise for
long as well,as short, Wool : fine Southdown Fleeces
fetch 4s. and Merino as high as 15s. per lb. ""
