Kangaroo, in the West- Scheldt off the
Stn, Kalodt, August 11, 1809.
I beg leave to acquaint you, for the information'
of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that
I am this moment going up :to -Bathe, in South
Beveland, which has been attacked by a strong de--
tachment of the Enemy's flotilla, and which by Sir
Richard Keats's reports, consists Of two frigates, one
beating a Vice-Admiral's flag; 30 brigs, eight tug-
gers or schooners, and 14 gun-boats.
I was under the necessity, of detaining our flotilla
to prevent supplies being thrown • into the garrison
of Flushing, and to assist in cutting off its commu-
nication with Cadsandi which service was of eetually
done, except during the lase heavy gales which
drove the gun-boats from their stations, and pre-
vented our shipping entering the Scheldt, from the
circumstance of their not being able to weigh their
anchors. Since the weather has moderated, the
wind has provokingly drawn rotted to the South
East, which is the only obstacle that prevents Lord
William Stuart, with a squadron of ten heavy fri-
gates passing Flushing, as well as Rear-Admiral
Lord Ciarduer, with the tife&ive line of battleships,
taking up the anchorage in Dykeshook Bay,
.where
I intend his Lordship shall remain, with a view of
having the assistance of that squadron in our future
operations against the enemy, and e% entually to pro-
ceed up the Stheldt.
