St. Domingo, Flushing- 

 Roads, Aug. 17, 1809. 



Sir,— I have much satisfaction 

 in acquainting you, that the town 

 and garrison of Flushing have capi- 

 tulated. It was my intention to 

 have proceeded up the Scheld, 

 with the division of frigates under 

 lord W.Stuart, and that the great- 

 er part of our flotilla had advanced 

 toBathz, in the charge of sir Home 

 Popham, by whom the enemy 

 were driven above Lillo, where 

 their ships and gun-brigs had taken 

 up a strong position. The com- 

 mand of the important service of 

 the Scheld I have given to sir R. 

 Keats, and he has my direction to 

 co-operate with lieut.-gen. the earl 

 of Rosslyn, as well as to use every 

 means in his power for capturing or 



destroying
