It is difficult to form a judgment respecting ti;:-
future plan of the enemy. A part of their force is
on the islands of -Walcheren, Schowen, and South
Beveland. It is said that they have five divisions of
sea and land forces, .one of which, on the Ch ani
sth, was proceeding to a more northerly dcstinatioß.
There has been fighting before Bergen-op-Zoom, anJ
on tile sides of li,iyskens, also on both sides of til?
Scheldt. The English have addressed a proclani3.
;ion w the people of Antwerp.

(;:,ght not to be considered as an ent.:rprize to he at-
t,:„lptt',d hazard.,—that the artniAice concluded
by our ally on the Danube would give our enemies
such a disposable force as would. probably enable
them to frustrate a part at least, it not the whole or
&signs ag,,inst Antwerp-- and :hat, if any delay
occur in obtain;ng possession of Flushing, it
have the eff*.ct to put Antwerp and ti:e men

e;:eeeieacl of caw being able to destroy it.
It is al-,o ese:rted, with, some confidence, that a
Coencil bad been held at the head-quarters
in South L efeland, in which so great a difference of
opinion on an operatiens to be further carried on was
teat the Commander in Chief, though per-
see.Vr dii;ersed to a vigoronS prosecution of the on-'
do 4n, did net feel inclined to incur the respon-
la!,!ity of acting contrary to the opinion of many
rLezeal Gificees ; in consequence an appeal has been
trace to tie Cabin et of London to decide on the
pe,ies in dispute. If this repot tbe true, it certainly
dres not aßrd a favourable prognostic of the ulti-
ret: result of the Expedition.
Put the public ought not to under-rate what has
been anined by the expedition, or to expect from
Government the accomplishment of impossibili-
ties. Ail that any government can do is to provide

THE ARMY.

•
The division of Guards, which expected to embark
for Spain a few days since, has returned to their old
quarters in town, having received counter orders.
Saturday two sail of transports arrived at Har.
wicli, with the Berwickshire Militia, from Scotland :
they wen; immediately disembarked, and marched
yeaerday dirt:ctll:- fir Weeley barracks.

Direct:ens have been rrceived at Chatham fur the
immediate equipment of all the men of war in ordi-
nary in the liver Medway, to be prepared for the re-
ception of the prisoners of war taken at Flushing and
the other places in the Scheldt.
The YORK, of 74 guns, is hourly expected at Ply-
mouth, from the Scheldt, with 600 F;pach and Dutch
prisoners on hoard ; they will go on board the prison
shiFs in Hamoaze, which are prepared for their re-
ception.

Accounts are said to have arrived from Sir ARTI/UR
WELLESLEY, (now Lord WELLINGTON) announcing
that he has succeeded in rescuing his army, and that
of CuEsTA, from the danger to which it was exposed
by the vast superiority of the enemy, and that he has.
fallen back upon Portugal.
Saturday the 13th Dragoons were reviewed on
Wimbledon Common by the Prince of Watas and the
Duke of Yontc, attended by the Duke of BRUNSWICK
and several General Officers. We are sorry to add,
that durit.g an extremely rapid charge, two of the
min fell, one of whom was run over by four horses,
before their career could be stopped. He at length
was taken up most severely hurt.

The five officers who passed through Norwich list
week from Yarmouth, on their way to Chesterfield,
on their parole, as prisoners of war, were Connt Nis-
sEN:tort, Colonel of a regiment in King Jzttoatx
Bo-
NaPAR service, and Mareschal of the palace, who
was brought off by the Duke of BRUNSWICK'S little
army, as a hostage ; he is also a Member of the Le-
gion of Honour, and wore the ituigila of the Order ;
his two Aides-du-Camp, who are German Officers ;
a Captain of Artillery, taken at Biervliet ; and a
French officer belonging to the Etat-Major, who was
going from Flushing to Cadsand with dispatches.—
They proceeded the next day on their route.

General MORRISON, who was lately appointed Lieu-
tenant-Governor of Jamaica, goes out in the NIOI3E,
Captain LORING. The nostr is still detained at Ports-
mouth, with the West India Convoy, by contrary
winds. La NVIIPHZ, EYDErtEx, and JASPER with the
convoys for Portugal, Cadiz, and the Mediterannean,
are likewise wind-bound in Cowes Roads.

COURTS-MARTIAL—A General Court-Martial has
sat ten days in Portsmouth garrison, on Mr. MOUE-
TON, Apothecary to the Forces, and Storekeeper
at Porchester Castle, on charges of embezzling public
stores, and of burning public papers —The Court
broke up on Friday morning, having determined on
their sentence, and forwarded it.. for his MAJRATY'S
approval.
On Wednesday a Court•Marial was held at Ports-
mouth on Lieutenant Amos Treeman Westr.,pp, of
his Majesty's ship Surveillante, to inquire into the
cause and circumstances attending a hurt, slated to
have been received by John Louth, a pensi,ner at
Greenwich Hospital, and formerly a serman be-
longing to the SURVEILLANTE, occasioned ay .t beat.
ing he received with- the ends of ropes, by three
,boatswrin's mates at one time thrashing him, which
was inflicted by order, and in the presence cf, Lieu-
tenant Westropp, and to try him for his conduct en
that occasion.—The Court having most attentively
heard all the circumstances of the case, pronounced,
that the charge was nct proved, and that Lieutenant
Westrnpp was acquitted. Lieutenant W. is brother-
in last, to Lora CLARINA.

Mr. ALLx. PATmtsox, late Gunner of I'Oiseau,
dismissed Coe service some time since, by sentence of
a Court Martial, (as stated in the STA.:I), has, on
account of his prior good conduct, been re-instated,
and appointed to the I:.lEuwAr, of 61 guns, now at

Lieutenant May, the bearer of Sir R. STRACHAIseS
dispatches of the surrendet of Flushing, is promoted
to the rank of Commander.

Captain k'ARQt•HAR is appointed to the DESII:FE,
and the Hon. Capt. KING to the JASON, at Portsmouth.
In consequence of several vessels having been cap-
tured last week off Beachy Head by French priva-
teers, some of them part of the fleet from Oporto,
under convoy of the SYRIAN sloop, representations
were made to On Lords of the Admiralty by the
Co:nmittee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's. In
reply, it is stated, that 4f their Lordships are con-
cerned that so many captures have recently happened
in the. neighbourhood of Beachy Head; occasioned
principally by tin cruircrs having been driven by the
...late strong westerly gales to take shelter under Dun•
geness ; and from the Captain. of the SYRIAN having
Imprudently suffered the convoy from Oporto to'pass
ap Channel without protection, for which their Lord-
ships have conveyed to him their high displeasure.—
A friate, three sloops, and a cutter, are now cruiz-
, in 7 in the vicinity of Beachy Head for the protection
or the tra•l^-"
