The English army was drawn up against Flushing as follows: General Graham’s division on the right, General Grosvenor’s next; then Lord Paget’s at West Zouberg, and General Houston’s at Oust Zouberg. Six batteries were formed, five of which were manned by the Royal Artillery, and one by seamen. The former were numbered and armed as follows:-- No. 1 Battery.--[18]1200 yards from the town. 13 24-prs. }This was evidently No. 5 Battery, according 2 8-in. howitzers } to the numbering of the Engineers; 6 8-in. mortars } _vide_ Jones’s ‘Sieges.’ No. 3 Battery.--2200 yards from the town. 6 10 in. mortars {This was evidently No. 1 Battery in the Engineers’ catalogue. No. 4 Battery.--1600 yards from the town. 4 10-in. mortars. 10 24-pounders. No. 5 Battery.--1600 yards from the town. 2 10-in. howitzers. { This was evidently No. 7 Battery in the { Engineers’ catalogue. No. 6 Battery.--1760 yards from the town. 3 24-pounders. 4 10 in. howitzers. N.B.--Two additional batteries, Nos. 7 and 8, were afterwards armed: No. 7 with 2 10-inch mortars, No. 8 with 6 24-pounders. These batteries were opened on the 13th August, at 1 P.M. At early morning on the 15th August Flushing surrendered. Including the ammunition expended by the sailors from No. 2 Battery, which was armed with six 24-pounders, and opened on Sunday, the 14th August, the following was the expenditure of ammunition, other than rockets, during the short siege:-- Rounds. 24-pr. guns 6582 10-in. mortars 1743 8-in. ” 1020 10-in. howitzers 269 8-in. ” 380 ---- Total 9994 ---- N.B.--Sir R. Gardiner’s MS. agrees exactly in this particular with Sir J. T. Jones’s ‘Sieges.’ Rockets had been used before the opening of the batteries, and continued to be employed in great profusion, and with fatal effect. Great part of the city, including the Hôtel de Ville, was burnt to the ground, and hundreds of the inhabitants were killed. To this day shot may be seen in the walls of many of the houses,--handing down from one generation to another the traditions of the siege.
