The following General Orders, issued VA"
E'vaz Coors immediately after the surrender, air
nut published in the Gazette; but they appearli
particularly merit the attention of the public. It
will be seen that the distinguished services of the
Royal Artillery and the brigade of semen are
particularly acknowledged ; and the manly appeal
to the feelings of our forces in favour of the
dc vanquished," is alike creditableto the head and
heart of the respectable Officer, by whom it is
so judiciously addressed.
ORDERS BY LIEUTENANT-GEV ERAL SIR EYRE
COOTR, K. B.
" Lines Wore Flything, Avg. 16, 1809.

" The garrisonnf Ilaibing having surrendered prisoners of
war, Lieuteuaut-Gen, Sir Evan Conte sincerely congratu-
lates the troop. under hi, immediate couansaiod, on the bril-
liant result of their grent gallautry, and unwearied exertions.
" Ia Ivory offal. in which tip army has been engaged
since the landing, it has nobly up'.rld that superiority for
recur, enterpri:e, ,end discipline, over a proud and vountlng
enemy, of which it had, upon former occasions, even es-
peered and undeniable proofs. The Royal 4rtilleryf has per-
tieularty dfilingulsitid itself daring the siege; of whirb no
stronger evidence can be required, than the present disastroug
state of the town of Fin‘hing.
".Sri LYRE Coorc cannot omit this opportunity of no-
ticing, in Public Orders, the hi4h sense he entertains of the
zealous co-operation, and volualk'serriees, of the Brigade if

Sectoren, under the consiaaad of Captain Ric ti Annson and
his Officers.

" Ti such troops it would be an imolt to Vecommend hu-
manity and protection to those who have fallen Into their
power; but the Lieutenant-I:metal deems it right to call
upoo them to treat the unfortunate and innocent inhabitants or
Flushing and its vicinity with all polsible lenity, kindness,
and attention. •

From the appearance of the Expedition un the
Dutch coast, to the time when the final possession
of Flushing was obtained, is a period of nineteen
days.—ln that interval, the enemy has had an up.
portunity of strengthening himself at Antwerp' so,
greatlb that the issue of the further proceeding. or
our squadron is rendered extremely doubtful.--•t
With rcsrect to the actual situation of the French
ships of war, nu official informant's has been com-
municated to the public; and the private cow.
municatitnis and reports• on this stabjeet arc
extremely contradictory :—Oae accOstot states,
that the French Admiral hating assoriet the
line-of-battle ships and frigates 1* a *doge seal_
circular line, nearly 1011Peeite toFort Lilloi. has
intimated his resolution toawait nag aitack4n that
position. We wish diet knell were the fact, for,
whatever may ho the difficulty, we should nut en.
tertain the slightest doubt of the event. A ser-
vice of that nature, though desperate in the ex.
treme, is precisely of that character and descrip-
tion n Inch would be coveted by the British navy.
But other accounts state, with more probability,
that the ships of war have been lightened as much
as possible, and have ascended the Scheldt much
higher than Ntitwerp, so that even our frigates
will be unable to get up, with their guns and
stores ou hoard. This plan would leave the decision
of their fate to the success of our military operations
exclusively—and though from our army we know
that every thing may be expected that is within
the possibility of human oxer.ion, difficulties may
on land be presented which might prove incur.
mountable. The enemy has had greatly too
much time fur preparation.—Was it absolutely
necessary to reduce Flushing before any thing
further was attempted ?—We do nut pretend to
know whether it was or was not—but if there had
been a possibility of making the grand push
traiitst Antwerp in the first instance, it would
hare been must f4rtunate.

THE Reports fru►n Germany arc of a very ex-
traordinary nature, anti it does seem truly asto-
nishing that so little should be I..nown with cer-
tainty—or if known, p3blished by our Go.
verntuent, with respect to the affairs of Germany.
The Thirtieth French Bulletin is not calculated
to excite our interest. Great pains are manifestly
taken to depreciate the force of Austria—the as.
sertion may or may nut be true ; but it is clear that
NAPOLEON still deems it necessary to hold out in-
terrore►n the irresistibility of his means. I f,however,
after the expectations that have been formed of
peace;between France and Austria, hostilities should
again be renewed, there must be some important
considerations with which we are unacquainted.—
To us, it seems improbable that Austria should
have made the concessions which she did, to obtain ,
the armistice, and now feel herself capable of re.
suming the contest.-I'd such is not only report-
ed, but very generally believed to be the fact—
and the arrival of Lord WA LroLE has teuticd to'
give currency to that opinion.

It is now said that the conduct of ti .• Archduke
CH.% aces, iti not following up the blow the French
`received at the Battle of Essling, incurred the gc-
nen', censure of the Austriau Army ; that ;IN

neither side can claim that species of success

would not he my duty to remain ia Callicia; when., more-
over, I had no means of supplying my troops, and ternishine
them with the neeemaries they required"; where there was
no place (except Ferrol and Centrism) in which I could de-
posit the area number of sick who follaw the regiments, and
whom I was obliged to ennvey on the hotses belonging to the
cavalry. I also rowidered that the English army, which
had advanced to Jens.) at the time: of my retreat, had
suddenly quitted Portugel, with the avowed purpose of
marching against Marshal Vietarand proceeding to Medrid,
and that it might easily have effected either of these
movement., taking for granted that they so Innerr ap-
peared on the frontiers of Gallicia, and only one corny
of Portuguese had joined Romano. O.t this suppo-
sition, it was of the utmost consequence for me to ad-
vance to Zamora, in order to co-operate with the troops

drid. I comidered also, that I could not fail to be nigh a

wards, and act accordine to circumstances. Such was my in-
tention on the 13th of May, when I wrote to your Majesty,
