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.
