INTELLIGENCE from the E_YPEDITION.I

EITRACT OF A LETTER.
MIDDTAIURG, THURSDA Y. AUG. 10, Six
P.M.—Though the whole of the Island of Vial.
cheren, with the exception of Flushing, has been
fur above ten days in the possession of the British
army, that fortress continues to hold out, and is
expected to make a protracted and obstinate re-
sistance. The garrison, witch on the first ap-
pearance of our Expedition off this coast was
comparatively weak, has since been considerably
reinforced, and at present consists of between 5
and 6000 men. The Governor-General, Non.
act, is determined to maintain himself in the town
to the last extremity ; and, if in the end he
should be compelled to capitulate, to make the
acquisition of the place cost the British army a
vast expenee of time and blood.
" By some unexplained departure from the
original plan upon which the'Expedition was to
be conducted, a demonstration only was made
against Cadsanil, the capture of which was of so
much importance to the ulterior progress of the
British armament, that one of the divisions of the
army, that under the Marquis of newly, was
destined for its reduction. But after every ar.
rangement bail been apparently made for the land.
ing of the troops, the whole were unexpectedly
drawn of to the North, and directed to the East
Scheldt, where they were landed upon North Bere.
land, in support of the division under the imme.
diate command of Sir John !lupe. There may
have been, and no doubt there were, solid grounds
for this deviation from the original coarse pro.
posed ; but it is matter of deep regret, that any
circua-stance should have rendered it necessary to
leave in the possession of the enemy the only posi-
tion from which they could throw succours into
Fleshing, or materially harass the naval part of
the Expedition its the event of its being engaged -a
a combined attack upon th.,t fortress. Some dis-
satisfaction is known to exist upon this ooiut ;
and it is generally understood, that the matter
will, at no distant period, be made the subject of
military investigation. It was not till the begin-
%log of this week, that the eommunicatiln ' et worn
Cadsaud and Flushing was completely cut off, an:l
at the present moment the garrison of the latter
place has nothing to rely upon but its own effert.i.
which, though they may retard, cannot prevent its
*nal reduction by the very superior force with
it k invested.

" The division of the British army now lying
before Flushing. consists of nearly 17,000 islets,
tinder the immediate coin-land of Sir Eyre Coate.
There is but one weals buttalion sts.ioned here, the
35th regiment ; end as there are only a few intim-
siderabie parties dispelled in the other parts of the
island, nearly the whole f the 17.000 men em-
ployed in the island of Walcheren twee or ;he lines
with which rustling is invested, in a s. inieiv•ular
form, from the Northwest to the .4outh.east of
pat town. The trenches are already completed ;
but as only two batteries of six guns each have
been yet thrown up, the bombardment of the for-
tress must be deferred until the beginning, or per-
haps the middle of next week. Besides, as the
eo.operation of the fleet is essentially necessary th
the success of that operation, it would unavoidably
be deferred, if even all the preparations on shore
were complete, until the fleet should come into its
station for that purpose. Sir It. Strachan, with a
great proportion of the naval force that accompa-
nied the Expedition from England. has pet, into
the East Scheldt, to assist the operations of Sir J.
!lope's division in that quarter. The service be-
fore Flushing, therefore, devolves upon the Niue-
dron under Lord Gardner, from u hich six ships
have been ordered against Flushing. They were
lying off the East Scheldt ; and though they got
under weigh yesterday morning to cione in, have
been hitherto prevented by the wind, which has
shifted round to the Eastwanl. Captain Bolton,
of the Ficgard frigate, who has been here for se.
Tonal weeks pretions to the arrival of the Expedi.
tion, stationing cutters as buoys for its guidance,

Carulner's fleet toils station.

" Thus, though the preparations on both sites
arc continued with unabated activity, no decisive
operation can take plate till the moment of a ge-
aeral.aftack. The enemy suffer no opportunity
to escape of annoying their besiegers, and keep
*LiF'a constant but irregular Are upon the different
parts of our liner, where any prospect may be
prnented of making an impression. So ♦igilantt
are'they in this respoct, that if e►en an indivi-
d cal Otters were to make his appearance within
the lines, and in reach of the shot from the garri-
son, they would not fail to tire apou him. Last
night, a Captain, who was recolnoitring the
works of the town, but at some distance within
the lines, had his leg shot aw.ty, and a hand badly
mounded. The shells from the town often fall
within the lines, though without doing much mis.
ciief. This irregular fire is sometimes returned
from tlw lines, though not geiterilly.
" From the first landing of tile British troops
in the neighbourhood of Flushing, the enemy has
been confined nithin its walls. The brigade of
Graham, composed principally of the Roy.
a!s. the bth, and 36th Regiments, have beta, must
elioged with the enemy, and has been greatly
distinguished in every instance in which it came in
colitact with them. Immediately after the landing,
the flank companies of this brigade had a smart
but brilliant affair with sonic of the ent•tny's light
infantry, advantageously posted along the sand.
hills. Though at first severely gal!ed by the enc-
;ily's lire, they advanced with the characteristic
intrepidity of British troops, and drove their
opponent!, before them, to the very walls of the
town, under which about 30 English seamen were
made prisoners, in consequence of the inconsi-
derate impetuosity with which they continued
'hi' pursuit, till it was no longer possible
for them t., return to their comrades in safety.
It as ur, that occasion, tl:at, after driving the
envoi fr .ni th sand-hills, the advanced party of
this htigaile, whilst engaged in the pursuit, most
garland) carried by assault a battery within a
s ...elf distance of the town, where then have since
o ,iied trenches upon the glacis, secure from the
•turf, though within the reach, of shells from the

TH

town, the inclined surface of the glacis allowing
the shells to roll away before they explode. The
garrison has also had recourse to sorties, in order
to impede the progress of the besiegers, but with.
out success. On Niontlay last they made a grand
effort of this description. Above WOO men came
forth from the town, and farmed under its walls,
with a view to attack and dislodge from its peal.
lion the advanced party of General Graham's bri.
gade, consisting of *boot 500 men. The enemy
advanced in a fine style, and were most ably dis.
posed and led on by their officers ; but notwith-
standing their vast superiority of numbers, and
the powerful stimulus of ardent spirits, a double
portion of which had been distributed to them be-
fore they commenced the attack„they were shauic-
fully repulsed, with immense loss, to their very
walls, by this handful of brave men. The attack
commenced at four, and the defeat of the enemy
was complete by six o'clock in the afternoon. The
whole of the troops along the line had beets put
into motion on the first alum, but the business
was accomplished by the advanced guard of the
right brigade, before any other corps could be
brought up to sustain it. Whilst the enemy was
approaching with all the precision of a movement
in review, the British troops allowed them to ad-
vance unmolested, cotifining themselves within
their trenches, and not even returning the
fire with which they were incessantly assailed ;
but when they bad come within point.blank range,
a most destructive fire from musketry and field_
pieces was opened upon them, and their cense-
quent confusion presented a fine opportunity for
the employment of that truly British weapuu, the
bayonet. The troops instantly advanced from the
trenches, and proceeding with a hum to the
charge, in an instant put the enemy to fhe rout.
Every thing that could be done by the exercise of
authority, or the influence of example to rally
them, and restore order, was attempted in vain by
the French Officers. The dispersion was so eiim-
s detes and the pursuit so active, that the broken
ranks of the enemy could not derive protection
from their own batteries, to which they fled, as, if
a fire bad treea from the walls, it must have
been as destructive to the dying as to the pursuing
corps. When they first began to giro way , ono of
their brave Ofricers, in the hope of re-animating
their courage, snatched up a standard, and rushing
forward in the midst of a heavy fire (rain our troops,
planted it in the front of the British line, and called
open hi. flying companions to rally round it. Wit
tie panic with whirls they had been seized, was not
to be removed by such an heroic example. They ff
and in all directions with the loss of 60U in killed,
w00n.161, and prisoners. The loss on our pert
was'nlsoconsiderable ; it amounted to 48 killed,
and 187 wounded. A few inure bitch sorties would
decide the fate of Flushing, without a bombard-
meet or egencr il assault. A most affecting oc-
comeliest took place about the commencement
of this splendid action. Two soldiers belonging
to one of the British regiments engaged, who
had been made prisoners in Spain, and forced into
the service of France, were amongst the troops of
the enemy, and when coining to the charge, joined
their old comrades in their huzza, and directed
their fire against the common enemy of both.
Since this sortie, the enemy have beets quiet. Yes-
terday about 600 of them shewed.themselves with.
out their Walls about three o'clock, but they did
not venture to come farther. This day some of
them have again thews themselves tout, and at this •
moment an intermitted cannonade Is heard ; but it is !
supposed here to proceed fro:n the walls of the
fortress, against some part of the British lines.
" The importance of Cadsand, with a view to
an attack on Flushing by sea, may be estimated,
from a very brilliant affair which took place in
the Channel between both open the third of this
month. IYheii it was observed that the French
%sere throwing in reinforcements daily into Flash-
ing from Cadsand, it was found necessary to re-
sort to some MOWS or intercepting this communi.
cation. Several geu.boats, were consequently
sent up the Channel between them, in order to
take soundings, as a direction for stationing ves-
sels to prevent all communication between
Flushing and Carlsan.l. These gun-boats were
so be protected by the Raven sloop of war,
Capt. llanchett. 'rite liatteriet soon opened en
the gnu-boats, when Capt. llanchett most spiritedly
ran his vessel up between the gun-boats and the
tire of the enemy, which was instantly transferred
to his ship. lie was tired at from five batteries on
Cadsand, from the whole sea-front of Flushing,
and from thirty-nine gunboats. Fur four hours
he bravely maintnined the unequal contest, and
brougat off the gun-boats safe, after having si-
teace:l the battery of Breskens, in Cadsand,
nut before he had three of his own gnus dismount.
ed, his vessel dismasted, and several times set on
fire, and above a thousand shot discharged against
hies from all sides. This exploit deserves to rank
with the most brilliant in the naval records of the
country, and was nu less an object of admiration
to the naval than to the military part of those
who were witnesses of the achievment. Captain
Hancheit has since received the distinguished
thanks of his Commander in Chief, Sir Richard
Straclian, and the most flattering antormres of the
high approbation of every General Otlicer who
was a spectator to his gallantry and devotion to
the service. It must enhance the valise of such
an exploit, that it. has been achieved without much
comparative loss, only the gallant Captain and 18
of his brave crew having been wounded, none of
them badly, and not a single man having been
killed during such a long-contested action, against
such fearful odds. If ships of the line should be
brought to act against Flushing, as they can lie
within pistol-shut of the batteries, the carnage
mast be dreadful on both sides. The contest how.
ever will be short, but must be decisive—perhaps
the work of a few hours. Unless, aided by the
co-operation of the fleet, at such an expenco of
blood as must unavoidably be shed in a contest :
of such a nature, and under such circumstances,
the reduction of the fortress by the army, may be .
a protracted bossiness.
‘• But though the progress of active hostility
seems to be suspended for the momen: in Walche-1
ren, operations are on the point of being prose
cited with rigour in ether quarters. Sir J-Hope

has proceeded from North to South Beveland,with
the division under his command. On Tuesdly he
was at Baths, on the southern extremity of South
tieveland, being more than half way to Antwerp,
with 22,000 men. General the Marquis of Huntly
crossed with his division from North to Southlieve.
land on Wednesday, for the purpose of reinlorc.
ing the army under Sir John Hope. Their united
forces would amount to little short of 30,000 men,
including a marine brigade. The departure of Sir
Richard Strachan, for the East Stilt Idt, yesterday,
must certainly be connected with some projected
operations in advance on that side. The head.
quarters were to be removed this day to South
ileveland, in which case the command in chief in
this island would rest with Sir Eyre Cook, through
whom at present all orders .are given to the army
here, and by whom all arrangements are made fur
the conduct of the siege. The advanced posts of
the army here are on the right at knole House,
and on the left a little within the Rammekens
battery and castle, which have been taken from
the enemy since the lines were marked out. The
troops have very slender accommodation in huts,
constructed by themselves, and at first were much
exposed from the prevalence-of rainy weather;
but their privations they have submitted to with
the greatest alacrity, and since the weather has
become fine, they appear even to enjoy their situ.
ation, anxious only that the enemy should come
out and give them an opportunity of meeting them
in the field. Very little baggage was allowed in
the first instance ; now, however, blankets have
been sent for, with a view to the accommodation
of the tamps ; and hence it may reasonably be in.
furred, that their service is not thought likely to
be soot' over.

" As it is likely that the main body of the Bri.
fish army, now undrr Sir John Hope, will ad.
seance, it may not be uninteresting to state the
amount of the French force, which, according to
th, must authentic estimate, he may have to en
counter. Thu garrison of Bergen-on-Zoom is
said to consist of
.7000 men, which, whilst locked
hip in that fortrtss, cannot be available in the
field. At Antwerp, Bernadotte is stated to havte
assembled a force of at least 30,000 -ten : so that
in case of an emergency, between titt.oe two cil,es
and the otl.er places of minor considcritioei io
their vicinity, Bernadotte might be able to collect
an army of about 40,000 men. Against such a
force it might not perhaps be prudent for a British
General to advance with an army numerically in.
ferior. If Flushing should once fall, there
would (hen be a prospect ; yet certainly the pre.
suet situation of the Continent might justify some
risk with the view to strike a great and decisive
blow."

IVAt.ctrenev.--The Island of Walcheren,
though only 36 English miles in circumference,
contains in it, besides the city of Middleburg and
the towns of Flushing and Campvcre, Ifs manor
towns and villages. Every part of this Island is
so highly cultivated that it is a perfect garden, and
considerable quantities of madder are produced in
some of the districts. 'Middleburg was anciently
a place of great commerce, and contained a well
stored arsenal, besides the docks of the Zealand
East India Company. Aliddletsvirg is two mil s
from the sea, but by means of a canal, loaded mer.
chant vessels can come up into the very heart of
the city.

On Thursday forenoon, a young Gentleman-
wlio.vras walking with his sister in St. James's.
kirk, stopped to speak to a fri-ndot bile the young
Lady, who walked on sluxly, was accosted by a
fellow, dressed like a Gentleman, a•►d who u•ed
the most brutal and indecent ItnAtiage. The bro-
ther having come up, and I ►ding his sister much
embarrassed and in tears, itis'antl) seized the ruf.
lan, bat the Lady tE..ts ashamed to mention the
canse of her distress, when a girl with a child
came up, and stated, that the fellow was con.
stantly in the habit of insulting every female he
met. The brother immedia Ely inflicted summary
chastisement on tr., 'lain with I►is cane, who was
otherwise very properly punishe.l by several peo.
plc, who assembled, having been made acquainted
with the crime fur which he was chastised.

During the storm on Thursday evening, the sai.
lors on board a Grecian vessel, lying near Hermi-
tage stairs, became so extremely terrified by the
repeated peak of thunder, and successive vivid
dashes of lightning, that they ono and all quitted
the deck, and betook themselves to prayers, and
remained in the utmost trepidation between decks
some hours. By this rime the tide had gone down
considerably, and the ship lay nearly on her side,
sustained only by the rope by which she was
moored ; and this either breaking, or through
being cut by some malicious person, occasioned
the vessel to fall over, which broke her timbers,
and she received such considerable damage, that it
is,estimated th.it the costs to set her to rights will
exceed OWL

An application was made to the Palace court
yesterday, in behalf of a prisoner confined fur
debt in the Msrshalsca Prison, under the.follow-
ing circumst ?nem :—On Saturday last a person
attended at the prison, for the purpose of paying
the prisoner his sixpences due for the past week,
and tendered two shillings, two sixpences, and
sixpence in halfpence; the latter were objected to
as being bad ones. The person, however, refused
to change them ; and the present application for
the prisoner's discharge was founded on the pay.
meat being deficient, not having been made in the
legal coin of the kingdom. The Learned Judge
(Mr. Serjeant Marshall) said, some years ago,
he made an application to Mr. Jestlee.Gould, in
behalf of a prisoner similar to the present. On
that occasion the Learned Judge said, the difficulty
would be ascertaining whether the halfpence were
good or not. He had a coachman, who, lie he.
Hewed, from frequently passing through turnpike-
gates, we, a pretty good judge what halfpence
would pass, and he should decide. The coach.
man was accordingly called in, and derided in fa-
vour of the prisoner. If as good a jielge
.be found on the present occasion, it would be wed.
for the prisoner. The halfpence were then pro-
doced in Court, and adjudged by several person.
to be bad, and the prisoner was ordered to be
discharged.
