S: a, I have much satisfac tion in acquainting you. for the infor, ovation of their Lordships, that the Townand Garrison of Hush ing capitulated upon the terms, a copy of which 1 send herewith. Their Lordships have already been apprised that it was my intention to have proceeded up the Scheldt, with the division of friAates under Lord William Stuart, and that the greater part of onr Flotilla had advanced to Baithz, in the charge of Sir Home Popham, by whom the enemy were driven above Lille, where their ships and pin-brigs had taken up a strong position. The command of the important service of the Scheldt I have given to Sir Richard Keats, and he has my directions to co operate with Lieut.-General the Earl of Rmlyn, as well as to nne every means in his power for capturing or destroying the fleet rod flati ila oft he enemy. Rear-Admiral Lord Gardner remained with the ships named in the margin* off Dykeshook, and his Lordship had received my direction to hold that squadron in readiness to go against the garrison of Flushing. On the ittli was informed by Lord Chatham, that the advanced batteries were sufficiently prepared to open on the n any the day following, at one o'clock in the afternoon; and as it appeared tome of consequence that the line of battle ships should pass the town at thesame moment, I therefore abandoned my intention of g oing up to the advanced flotilla, and proceed. tug to Dykustioo, hoisted my flag in the St. Domingo. The batteries opened on the garrison as it was previously settled, at o;e in the afternoon of the 13th inst. and the fire was returned with great vigour by the enemy.
