RETVAN OF THE EXPEDITION FROM
THE SCHELDT.

yest,:rday afternoon Mr. Woo's, private secretary
co Lord CASTLF.REAGII, arrived at Downing-street,
with dispatches from the Earl of CHATHAM.
These dispatches state, that from the informaticn
received by his Lordship of the numbers which the
enemy had been able to collect for the defence of
the extensive inundations they had
Antwerp, and
efected, his Lordship, in concurrence with the opi.
cirm of the Lieutertant-Generals, had decided not to
advance from South Beveland against that city.
Weliave more than once cautioned the Public not
to allow their expectations to be wound up to artildia.
reasonable height respecting the objects to be accom:
plished by the Expedition to the Scheldt. On its Stet
sailing we desired them to recollect that the change
which had taken place art the Danube, by the has.;
Armistice concluded by bur Ally, could not but have"
a considerable effect on the operationt of this expedi-
tion; and that Government, though they still thotight
it a duty not to abandon entirely the scheine for
which it was undertaken, were far from.saaguine in
their hopes as to some of the ulterior objects,
We :lave now to inforM our Readers that from 9d
to 300 transports, under convoy of the HARDY gun-
brig, reached the Downs yesterd*y film die Scheldt,
having cavalry on board, their services being no
longer wanted in that quartet% . .
When thtse ships came away such of the infantry

Walcheren Were also embarking and preparing to
embark, and vre nig), expect them to arrive chily in
different divisions till tie whole shall ha* returned.
All the ulterior objects of the Expedition have of
course been abandoned ; and we have nn liesitntion
in saying that all prudent men will praise Ministers
for their conduct in not attempting objects which,
from the change of circumstances which has taken
place since the expeditionS.vas planned, could not have,
been obt..ined without an erpence ofl:ves far beyond
their value.

It is tree we have not got possession of Antwerp,
but it is equally ttx! that eve now ~01.1 the key—and
this hold has been strengthened by some larre ships
haring been sunk across the Scheldt to prevent the
enemy from deriving,:tny advantage, for a consider-
able time at least, from the Arsenal and Dockyards
