[From a London Paper of June 26.]

Camp of Ecloo, near Thielt.

June 21st, 4 in the morning.

"I have only time to inform you of the melancholy posture of affairs in West-Flanders.

Ypres surrendered yesterday morning. The garrison, consisting of ten battalions, much reduced in number by the siege, are prisoners of war, and have been conducted to Lille.

The Hanoverians are at Bruges, where the British, who were at Ostend, joined them last night.

Gen. Clairfayt is at Thielt, and unless he receives reinforcements, must fall back upon Ghent to-morrow.

Never was seen such a break up as that of yesterday at Ostend. Every body that could find the means were quitting the place. The magistrates and people of property were all gone. When the French come, they will find nothing but magazines empty, shops shut up, and houses deserted, Gen. Stewart yesterday gave leave to all the inhabitants to depart.

All the ships in the harbor were ordered out into the road, and all the baggage belonging to the staff, the 85th regiment of foot. and the 85th dragoons, was embarked. The departure of Prince Ernest was the signal of alarm and flight,

The French came yesterday with 20,000 men, to Rousselaer. A picquet of 20 men of the 85th dragoons sent out in the morning, was surrounded and taken before Gistel.

As far as we can judge from appearances, Nieuport & Ostend will be abandoned to them in the course of a few days, without striking a blow, for the inundations have not produced the expected effect.

The French have again passed the Sambre, and invested Charleroi with more numerous forces than before, so that we have no assistance to hope from that quarter, but much to fear."
