the weather, and they are now under the protection of
his Majesty's ships at the anchorage off the island of
Sproe.
Some sacrifices of horses and stores were conceived
necessary by the General; and as I considered it
right, under the peculiar cirenmstances, to enter into
the views and wishes of the Marquis de la ROMANA,
every unavoidable act of hostility was rigidly abstained
from, for I did not consider it any to bring away the
brig and cutter that rejected our offer of security, and
forcibly opposed our entrance into the port ; and
even undertook to •lioerate the vessels employed as
transports, provided no interruption was made by any
to the peaceable embarkation of our friends.

I should be unjust to the meritorious exertions of
the Officers and seamen employed on this short but

Lativing service, if I neglected to represent their
merits on this occason to you ; Captain GRAVES'S
:2rvices were required adeat ; Captain M'NANARA,
of the Edgar, undertook the equipment of the trans-
ports, with the embarkation of the stores ; the em-
barkation of the troops was made under the direction
of Captain JACKSON, of the Superb, and Captain
Loravaa, of the Hound ; Captain &writ, of the
Devastation, and Captain JANtEs, of the Kite, were
indefatigable in their exertions in the various duties I
assigned them. Many circumstances having com-
bined to make an attack on the rear probable, great
precaution was necessary. Such guns as could be
brought against us were spiked, and the embarkation
was covered and most effectually protected by the
Minxgun-brig and the two prizes, and by the very
judicious disposition of the gun-boats, under the com-
mand of Captain MAY, of the Royal Artillery, who
volunteered, and whose services on this and other oc-
casions were highly useful.

It is not easy to express the joy and satisfaction felt
by every class of the army at this event ; and no cir-
cumstance, I belief!. could have afforded more real
pleasure to us all. One, the regiment of Zamora,
made a march of eighteen Danish miles in 21 herurs.
I transmit herewith, for your further ;nformation,
copies of such letters as I deemed it revisit., oad
dress to his Excellency the Marquis de la-
and the Governor of Nyborg on this occasion. The-
replies to the former were verbal through a confiden-
tial Officor, and the latter were made personally.—

taro some hopes that part c.f the regiment in Jutland,
we thought lost, has escaped to the post at Langeland
by the Western Channel.

Superb§ off I.aingeland, August 5. 1808.

Sias—l have the honour to inform you, that I
have received from my Government the most positive
instructions to endeavour to communicate with the
Spanish Officers commanding the troops of that nation
in the vicinity of my command, and to concert with
them measures to secure their retreat from anyplace
of embarkation which they may possess, and for plac-
ing them in a state of security until transports for
their reception can be provided to convey them to,
Spain, for which, as well as the necessary provisions,
measures have already been taken, and indeed of the
arrival of them lam in hourly expectation. Until
that period shall arrive, they are welcome to share in
the accommodation and provisions of the ships under
my command ; but as that might not afford ample
means at present, although I am in expectation of the
Commander in Chief, I would suggest, under the
pressure of circumstances, the removal of the troops
to some of the islands in the Belt for their perfect se-
curity. But as a measure of this magnitude to the
interests of the Spanieh nation would necessarily re-
quire a conferred plan, lest by attention to partial in-
terests the general one might suffer, I request an un-
reserved and confidential communication, either to the 1
ships off Ny&org, that stationed off Langeland, or any
of .his Britannic Majesty's ships in the Belt, and
through the bearer of this,.or by any other means. I
propose sending on. Sunday, unless I should earlier
receive some person on board, a gig of. truce under
some pretext to the Spanish post at Spoysberg, and
if this should be safely received, I wish, in token of it,
a small guard might parade in some covisPicious
situatiost at !foot to-morrow, near the English ship et
anchor, or under sail near Spoysberg.
In my present situation •it is impossible, ardently
as I enter intolbe views of -m>' Government and the
Spanish nation, to attempt to lay down any fixed plan.
My services, and that of every Englishman under my
command, are devoted to the cause; but before mea-
rues can be adopted, we must eonimunicate, agree
on, and combine as far as it may be possible, the in-
Wrests of the Spanish troops in Jutland and bland,
rith those in 'Fullest and Langeland. I shall keep a
ship for some days of Spoysberg ; and every ship
under my command will be en the look-out to receive
any boats that may approach them. (Signed) •

To :he Officers of Lis most Catholic Majesty's Troop..
Superb, oft' Langeland, August 7, t SOK
Sax—Understanding from the Spanish Officer,
that the accompanying paper * is the true state
and situation of the Spanish troops in Denmark and
its dependencies, the following, according to the vari-
ous circumstances that present themselves to my view,
appears to form a plan that promises the fairest pro-
