.SURRENDER of VALENCIENNES.
Letter from fir James Murray, to the right
honorable Mr. Dundas, one of his majesty’s
principal secretaries of state.
Efreux, July 28, 1793.
Sir, . ‘ #
IT is with the utmost fatisfa&ion that I
fiave the honor of acquainting you wdth the
surrender of the towm and citadel of Valen
ciennes, to the combined army under the
command of his royal highness the duke of
York.
The fuccefsful attack of the 25th, and
the lodgment in the hornwork, seem to have
made a strong impression upon the enemy,
and to have disposed them to receive in a
favorable manner the summons which was
sent by his royal highness to the general and
inhabitants upon the following day.
The alacrity with which the troops have
undergone the hardfliips and fevcrc duty of
the siege, as well as the resolution which
they displayed in situations of danger, de
serve the highest praise.
Batteries were alloted at different times
to be worked by the royal artillery, and
every commendation is due to major Con
greve and to the • officers and men of that
corps, who have upon this occalion fully
supported the reputation - which they have so
long enjoyed.
Though colonel Moricficff was not char
ged with the dhre&idn of the siege, the
greatest advantages have been derived from
his profeffional knowledge, activity and zeal,
particularly in taking and keeping possession
of the horn work.
I enclofo a return of tfre fofsof the Eritifti
and Hanoverian troops during the whole of
the fuio-e, by winch it appears that the num
ber of the killed and wounded of the former,
as it hands at this moment, amounts to 90,
including all ranks. Supposing the latter to
have had flight wounds in the fame propor
tion, the loss at present will be about
150.
The meft dangerous as well as the most
laborious parts of the siege, fell to the lot
of the Imperial forces. They have had about
1 -00 officers and men killed and wounded—
from which, however, the lame deduction
may be made.
Any further particulars which you may
be desirous to be informed of, will be ex
plained by Caot. Calvert, aid-de-camp to his
royal highness, who was employed in carry
ing cn the intercourse relative to the capitu
lation of the town, and whose zeal and intel
ligence upon this, as well as upon many for
mer occalions, have been highly approved of
by his royal highness.
I have the honor to be, &c.
JAMES MURRAY.

The king of Poland (fays a London pa
per) on being required to sign the ad of
accefiion to the new partition of Poland, in
favour of the Empress of Russia, gave an
absolute refufal, and informed the Ambassa
dor that lie would sooner part with his crown
than sign an ad of consent to the new dis
memberment of his unhap r y country. The
Diet, by a great majority, had decided
against the difmemberinent of the country,
and have offered rather to drive the Ruffians
entirely out of the kingdom, and surrender
it wholly into the hinds of Prulfii, than a
gree to the dismemberment.
