yott know that Lord Chathartaserved, in America ?—I can-
not speak to the points of service of a General Officer so generally

Have yon been Informed that Lord Chatham had even served
in the West Indies and for what period ?—I donut know.

Walcheren ?—As fat as came wi:hin my knowledge, it appeared
that dvery extraordinary exertion was made.
Was there any exertion in any department of Government, with
which you had not an opportunity of bring in some respect ac-
quainted ?—1 cannot venture to speak in this place of the exertions
of any other department of Governinelit than that which conies
within my own personal knowledge.
To your knowledge, were any particular instructions given to
Lord Chatham to lie down for the siege of Elushiug before he
raceeded to the ulterior objects of the Expedition ?--Not that I

Supposing our Army in possession of the town of Antwerp, do
you Imagine they would not have possessed themselves of suffi-
cient quantity of artillery and ammunition to have enabled them,
if it had been necessary, to have attacked the Citadel of Antwerp ?
—I have already said that l have no information upon the subject
of Antwerp.
Do you know whether or not the possession of the Citadel of
Antwerp would have been necessary so have enabled our ::-sops
to have destroyed the naval arsenals and the ships then beldirg at
Antwerp ?—lt appears to me that my last answer equally applies
to this quest len.
