WILLIAM E.5.(2 EXAMINED.
In June last, when the Expedition to the Scheldt was decided
upon, what was the state of foreign exchanges, particularly of
the exchange with Hamburgh ?-4 cannot answer that question
with fractional accuracy; but I belies,* the foreign exchange:par-
ticularly the exchange upon •Hamburgh, was against this errantry
from 18 to 20 per cent. '
Exclusive of the loss sustained upon bills to he drawn from
abroad, was i! practicable at that period to obtain considerable
'urns for such bills, even on the ,disadvantageous terms described
in the former answer ?—1 certainly think, and the course of the
inquiries which were then made led ma to believe, that it would
not have been practicable to have raised any very large credits on
the Continent.

means of
.FaUce could be obtained. From the inquiries I had previously
made anci the information I' possessed, coupled with the then
course of exchange, 1 conceived that such an operation would be
extremely diffictit, if not impracticable; however, being very de-
*iron's rot to give any opinion merely upon my own view of the
subject, I felt it my duty to consult with persons whom I con-
, eeived to be well versed in those subjects, and to possess the
-greatest means of executing the intentions cf Government, if it
_should be found practicable.to execute them. The result of those
inquiries was rot to chew that it was altogether impracticable,
but that the operation would be attended with very great ha-
zard and lots ; that, in the first place, it wou3 tend to lower the
exchange still further ;•that, in the next place, from the want of
any direct intercourse with the Continent, either of trade or even

pf communication by letter, it was.bnyossible for any house of
business in England to undertake to execute the operation with
any degree of certainty as to its success ; and even if the credits
-were raised on the Continent by the.mtans of the remittances
being made from this country, still those credits could only be
created In places either immediately in the occupation of the ene-
my, or so entirely under his control as to give him the same
power over such credits as would arise from the occupation it-
self, with a view to the interruption of any system of operations
for transmitting this aid to Austria ; the difficulty therefore was,
First, to make die trasitta..!ct to any secure place on the Conti-
nent; and, secondly, it the remittance was even made, to ren-,
der it available for the use of the Court of Vienna. The opera-
tion however was attempted, and I believe under the mask and
guise of a cer.rmercial arrangement ; more or less of success at
tended the attempt. The House by which it was undertaken.
did not feel itself competent to engage to make such a remit-
, Lance ; but could only undertake to use its best endeavours for
,thatPlFEWit•

VC uod the Expedition sailed to the Scheldt, what was the total

amount of foreign coin,applicable to military service abroad, at
the disposg. of Government ?—in peini of tact, there was none,
itircliiptaking, at our disposal at that moment. Tho'f.reatiury.
tie probability of considerable demands being made
of Gratin...coin, far the purpose of supplying the military chests
"tif.our different armies on foreign stations, had taken measures
so far back as the month of October, IROB, to secure at the then
price all the foreign silver coin, and all the silver bullion in the
possession of the• Bank, except such as might be wanted for the
purposes of the manufactures of this country; and it is only this
amount t,isat I could, conceive could strictly be eallta at the dispo-
of.Government..The whole had been withdrawn froni the
lank prior to the month of June, 1809; but the Batik having
made some small purchases of foreign silver coin between the in-
tervitl of ljthiber and Judy and Laving also some foreign gold
eon In its possession Ivhfolt was conceived to be peculiarly appli-
cable to this service, the Treasury purchased the suns that was

. .
fpgliensed, indispensably necessary, in order to enable the!
Expedition to proceed at all. The sum purchased, and I believe
ieisicissded all the dollars that could then be obtained from the
Banit, was ih dollars X 60,000, and in Dutch ducats .£65,000 ;
making du:rather 125,000. •
What increase to this amount was the Treasury enabled to gain
between the month of July, when the expedition sailed, and the
middle of the month of October ?—About the end of the month
o: August,epon a n ,7resentation from the Commissary General
kha't.sonse ;farther:supply became very urgent, all the dollars that
were then to be procured in the bullion market here were pur-
chased, by the Bank on account of Government, amounting to
X 4.5,600 steriing ; the demands made were certainly for a larger
son?, Int;-thero were no more dollars in the market, anti. none in
the -possession of the Bank that could he spared. I canrot an-
swer the lineation further, whether any additional supply was•
sent heineeen that period and the middle of October, having no
means of ascertaining that fact from my own knowledge.
Had the utmost exertions of Government, aided by the Bank,
been.employed for a length of time past to augment the stock of
bullion end foreign coin applicable to forelgu service ?-1 certainly
conceived that every exertion had been made. for this purpose ;
it ceftilidy ohvicius to me, thai from the state of tile ex-
change, as well as from the situation of the Continent, and of
our intercourse with it, we shonhlwant every aid that could be
procured ; and I had therefore felt it my duty io adopt every ar-
rangesurnefoi drawing supplies of silver bullion from the West
Indies and South America. These arrangements had been
.suc-
cessful so far as they enabled us, with the aid derived from the
Million in the possession of the Bank, to keep up the military
chests in Spam and in the Mediterranean ; but at the period When
the Expedition was prepared for the Scheldt, those chests not-
Withstanding every exertion, were not so abundantly supplied as
it would have been desirable they should have been, if no diffi-
culty hied *been experienced in procuring the means of making
farther remittances from this country both to Sicily and to the
Peninsula : they wire however in no want, though not with so
large a stock in hand,af is generally desirable in the course of ac-
five foreign service.
'Ai the exchange stood in July last, and with thelimited amount
of 'specie then lin hand, do you conce:ve, supposing a British ariny
of 40,000 men had been disembarked in the Elbe and Weser, that
the pecuniary means could have been procured to equip and en-
able such an army to take the field ?-1 certainly conceived that
the pecuniary means 'could not have been procured in this coun-
try, and the diffickilty, of raising a credit in any place upon the
Continent which cestid have been made available to the use of a
British army In the field appeared to me almost insurmountable;
I have therefore no hesitation iu stating as my opinion, that no
army to that amount could have been sent to the Elbe or Weser,
In order to take the field for a campaign accompanied with pecu-
niary means of placing itself in a state of equipment for that Fur-
pose. 'lbis is an opinion, which in discussions with the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer upon the means of providing a pecuniary
supply for rich a 'force, I strongly stated at that time, and in
which, as I finder stood upon the view he took of the subject, he
apeeared to me to concur.
What sum, as means on campaign, should you suppose it would
require to render such a force capable of coMmencing operations
upon its landing on the Continent ?—The suns that would be re-
quisite for this purpose must depend very much upon the state of
equipment in which such an army might be sent from this coun-
try ; but in order to enable an army of 40,000 men to take the
field so as to carry on the operations of a campaign, including the
formation of magazines, and providing draft horses requisite fur
their movements, and other unavoidable expeuces, I should•think
that pot less than £500,000 would have been requisite before
they could have been said to be in a state to commence operations
in the field.
At what sum should you estimate the monthly ordinary and cot-
traortlr ary expence of such a force during the can:pile, plum=
log one-11:th of the army to be cavalry )—I believe the ordinary
expense would be near £lOO,OOO, and die extraordinary ripener,
speaking upon a general view, I apprehend would not have been .
as than from L 150,000 to £200,000 per month, varying accord- I
b•g to the circumstances of more or less activity in the operations
of the army but upon the whole, I should say that it would not
have been prudent to have reckoned upon an expenditure of less ;
*an from £250,000 to £OO,OOO per month, always bearing in ;
mind that whether the means of making such an expenditure were I
pnsvlded by bills of exchange or by the put: raae of bui.ion, the
loss of on that exchange of from 18 to sU pet cent., is to be taken
into this calculation.
ou,re,,eg, nu the arrival of the Expedition in the North of
Germany, it had been deemed advisable to proceed immediately
to ItsY, train, and pay an army of native troops, what buns
would it have required to create and support such a sorer, taking
Its mentser at 40,000 men ?—lt is very difficult to give any thing',
like a precise answer to that question; but I should conceive, that

of exchange as would have justified the undertaking an
.to the North of Eurtspe hyontemplatien et such a scale of
•fltre as the t %ye precedin questions refer to?--If the reatilkfg
Expedition had been to open a convenient and direet irate
with the Continent, and to put us in secure possession the
market of exchang e,such as Ha tab urgh, donside .
certainly have been derived front those advanitalgeni het I de

M lune, and considering that doubt might have existed as to the
security of our occupation of liambuigh or any inch place, at
least in the first movements, we should twee derived a degree of
facility fur drawing bills upon this country at all adequate to the
demands of such a force as is adverte7 to in the former questions.
I mtrii also observe, that in the opinion I entertained at the time.
the Expedition was prepared for the Scheldt, and the view I retilli
of our pecuniary resources as far as nelatesap foreign coin, I cod. I
ceive that we did not possess.meansadeqoata to the expence WI
Such an expedition, even up to the moment when it mialit be sup,
posed to have obtained a secura tooting upon the Continent ; an
consequently with a &ference to this pectiniarrdiffkurrylhatin 'm
such Expedition could not be undertakeu withoutineurringir
risk of finding itself without the means of providing fei the seb. l'
sistenee and the unavoidable extraordinary expenciavef the Iota". I
Can you state to the Comtuitte:e.the circumstance., 'whirl ena-"
bled his 'Majesty's GOvernmerit td. carry on the operation to the
Scheldt, with the limited •pikuniary means which • they at' thba i
time could command ?—The sum provided for this. Expedition,-
as I have already stated, was one hundred and twenty-Soy then-
sand pounds ; it was conceived, that if the proposed operations
were brought to a chase within a very limited period, this sum
would be sufficient, under the precantions which had bete talten
to preittnt, as much as possible, any pecuniary demands arising
during the short period that it was supposed the whole of the
army would remain on that service. Those precautions consisted
in paying for the witele of the Staff or their allowatices Vefore they
embarked fraqi England ; in issuing the subsistende to the 'Whole
of the army up to the 24th of August, prior to their .embarkas
tion ; in providing all the stores and provisions, and equipment
in this country. These c;restinnances joined •to the nature*
the Expedition, in which the -means Of movement and suppit
were principally to be found in our naval resources, appeared
me to justify an expectation that the small sum which had '
I,t
provided would be sufficient to guard the Army against any' dolt
of pecuniary distress in the course of their operations.
Supposirg it had barn deemed advisable to employ the force
that svent to the hcieldt tither in the north of Spain, or in rein-
forcing the British Army in Portugal, what do you conce ve
Would have been the practicability for providing for such an in-.
creased expenditure iu ci-lier of those quarters ?-1 am not pre-.
pared to say it would have been wholly practicable ; but cent tn-
ly the demands upon the military chest in-the Peninsula, c an-
pared to the means of supplying :hat chest; nntwithstanding every
latitude had been given to the Commissary ill drawing bithr of
exchange, and every exertion made to procure specie, were such
as to create the greatest apprehension that . the cheat would be
entirely exhausted if the expenditure should be very, considera-
bly increased, and that view I thought it my duty strongly to
state to his Niajasty's Government at that time. : .
Was it your opinion that it. would have been imprudent to
have risked such an increased expenditure in that quarter ?—Auy
expenditure which might have etposed a gteat army to the risk
of being without the means of cart yinj On its *operations, would
'I think, have been very imp:n(l=4 and I' certainly did. conceive
there would have been that risk.
Do you apprehend that the eame difficulty would hare applied
to employing the same farce on the side of Italy ?—I have no diffi-
Cult)? in answering that question ; the military chest in the Medi-
terranean was in fact one on which the greatest pressure Wgrfelt
at that moment ; so great, I believe, that the Commissary in
one instance thought it prudent, with a' view to reserve a'suffir
cient sum for the unavoidable extraordinary expences, to issue the
subsistence to the army weekly, instead of monthly, as hi the
ordinary course.

SUBSTANCE OF GENERAL SONTAG'S EVIDENCE.
The General had served in the department of the Quarter-
Master-General in the British Army in the I.ow Countrier in
1
1793-4. The last time he saw Antwerp; Lillo, and Liefkenthoeieh
Was in 1794. The worksOf ail were in a neglected state. He
conceived that Antwerp might hive befen reduced by bombaid;
;Rent ; and, the town being in possession of our army, the arsenal
and ships might have been destroyed• under protection of the
&uses of the town, without reducing the citadel. He had been
frequently consulted by Government, between 1796 and 1807, as
to the best means of reducing Walcheren, and had sanguine
hopes of the success of the late Expeiditl4l. at its departure.
—He proceeded with it as BrigadicrnGeneral and was Com-
- . .

mandant of Middleburg. He inspected the works of ,
of er its reduction, and found no addition Made to them 'duce
1794, except two ravelins in front Of the ',a ces. In his capacity
a\ Commandant of Middleburg, eatery foreignerb coming Into or
leaving tivoisland was brought before him; and the information
which he received from several persons was, that Antwerp was
not in a good state of defence, though the citadel had been some-
what improved, and that it was at first very badly garritioned.—
This corresponded with the accounts which he had received at
Hamburgh in 1807. He could not say what time might be ne-
cessary
to put the works into good repair. The accounts.he had
in 1807 wire only from private persons. The informatiob hese-
ceived at Middleburgh was from persons applying for paspOsts,
hnd who stated themselves to have just come front AntwerE4
its vicinity. This was at the end of August or beginning of Sip.
tembcr ; two of them were persons to whom he had every reason
to give credit; one of them had served as a military man. Whew
he 'aw the fortifications of Antwerp in 1794, the masonryip
veral places was defective, and the rampart also. Some parts ot
the ditch were dry, and there appeared to be gardens in the othert
—but he supposed the water might be let in so as to cover the'
wlsole. The ditch of the citadel was broader than that of the town,
and thb walls higher. Lillo might, in his opinion,be soon reduced
by a vigorous attack with mortars and cannon. He did not know
whether the country in the neighbourhood belower than :he Scheldt
at high water. He bad heard that some parte had been inundated,
but thought the inundation could not be made so general as not
to leave open some points of attack. Re was not acquainted with
the manner in which it had been attacked by the Duke of
Parma; had heard that the Spanish General Mondrageon failed
in an attack upon it; but, if he recollected right, neither Lino'
nor Liefkenshoeick held out long against Marshal Saxe, whose
mode of wrack, however, he was unacquainted with.—With
regard to Antwerp, he was still of opinion " that towards the
gate leading to Holland would be a fair place to have made ari
attack, notwithstanding there is water in the ditch."—" In the
vicinity of that spot there are several windmills upon elevated•
groom!, which would have favoured very much the establishing
of batteries for the attalt."—By a vigorous attack, he meant " to
bring forward a number of cannon, and to play upon some weak
points. The cannon should have been 18 to 94-pounders."—He
certainly proposed to batter in breach at the point mentioned ;
and, not losing sight of the weakness of the garrison, he thought
" those batteries might have been established without making re-
gular approaches." He was informed, that at first the garrison
did not amount to above 1500 or 2000 men of all sorts of troops,
and that there were few regulars among them. A great number
of the workmen in the arsenal had been sent to Germany, and
the remainder, with some gens d'armes and custom-house officers„,
formed, in the first instance, the principal part of the garrison.—
With regard to an attack upon Lillo, it would depend on circum-
stances whether the Commanding General should conduct it by
escalade, assault, or siege, or by all three. He could not say
whether the environs of I.illo could be completely inundated,hut
be thaught that batteries on the dykes andcauseways must make
an impression upon a small fortress of only four or five bastions. If
' Lillo, however, were well garrisoned, itwould be neeessarytei pro-
teed by regular attack and siege. The last time that be was consul-
ted by Government upon the subject of reducing Walcheren, was
about two years ago, when he had a conversation with Lord Cas-
tlereagh. To form a complete investment of Antwerp on both -ides
of the river would have required a very considerable force ; but a
much smaller could blockade it so as to prevent the throwing in
of reinforcements. The length of the river face between the cita.l
del and the lower extremity of the town may be a mile and a half,
the extent of the works towards the country, from one part of
the river to the other, may bo about three miles. He believed
the country, indosed within the bend of the riverhy The Teter
de Handers, might have been inundated. The-possession of
Lillo and Liefkenshoeick would Mate .gieatlY facilitated the
