has received orders from his Monarch to keep up ;good
harmony with the Polish army in Gallicia, which is

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

sia--As a good deal of misrepresentation has been
mule in several of the Newspapers relative to that
part of the British Army which took up the position
for the siege of Flushing, on the first of August last,
I beg you will be pleased to insert the following parti-
culars, as a common justice only to those corps who
were alone employed on that occasion.
When that part of the army destined for the siege
of Flushing came within two miles of the fort onthe
first of August, about one o'clock at noon, the ene-
my's Chasseurs and Vohigeurs became very trouble-
some, being posted in the woods, ditches, &c. &c.
—a general halt was ordered, and the 68th and 85th
light Infantry regiments being is advance, part of
those corps, under the command of Major M,lNTostt,
85th regiments were ordered out on the right to
drive in the out-posts of the enemy, which they ef-
fected in the Most gallant manner, driving the enemy
i,efore theft in all directions, up to the very glacis of
the town : whilst this was going on Upon the right,
the remainder of those two corps, consisting of about
W) men, were ordered to advance on the left ; this
fiey obeyed with much alacrity, drove the enemyi
1.-om every post, and charged them up to the very II
walls of the fort: there was e• General Officer pre-
sent at this critical period to give directions, and at
fie moment this lyllant little body had it in contean-
;lation to assault the garrison, the bugte sounded
from the rear to retire. They were obliged, though
with great reluctance, to obey this miler, and effect-
-01 their retreat in the most orderly manner, though
tinder a heavy shower of round and grape-shot from
garrison at the time. Had this little division been
supported by 2 or 30Q0 regular trcrips, Flushing must
have been in possession of the tritish Attny in half
an hour.
Having been an eye witness of the gallantry of
these two regiments, which struck Me, as well as
every other person who saw them, with pleasure and
ndmiratior. lam not afraid of a contradiction. I
have now placed the few particulars in their right
point of liew, and remain, Sir,
your most obedient Servant,

If they should have virtue enough to follow

Vfe ate happy to be able to announce that at one
o'clock yesterday a large fleet was seen from Yar-
mouth, in the offing, under convoy of a line of battle
ship and two frigates, from the Northward. There
can be no doubt that this is the convoy from Gotten-
burgh. As the wind was S. E. when they were seen,
they would probably come to anchor in Yarmouth
roads yesterday afternoon.
