MY Loma—ln my dispatch of the sth inst. I had the honour of stating to your Lordship, that Lieute nant-Colonel Smith had been detached after' our sailing from Milazzo, with the 10th Regiment and Chas seurs Brittanniques, which were to be joined at the Faro by the 21st Regiment, with orders to occupy and disarm the pasts upon the Streight opposite to Messina, upon the late retreat of the enemy upon the first appearance of our armament upon the Coast of Calabria. An attempt to reduce the Castle of Scylla was at tended, in the first instance, with disappointinent, from the sudden re-appearance of a large preponde rating force of the enemy, which constrained Lieute., nant-Colonel Smith to raise the siege, and embark for Messina ; a measure which was effected, I am happy to s ty, on the 20th ult. without the smallest loss, but that of his besieging train, which necessarily became a sacrifice. It fortunately, however, has Troved a sacrifice of the moment. The official reports from Ma;or-General Mackenzie state to me, that on the night of the 2d inst. the enemy, from some sud den panic, retreated again from the Coast, having previou ly blown up the works of Scylla, and not only left us again our ca-tured stores, but an immense quantity of °valiance an d' stores of their own, which had been placed in depot. Major-General Mackenzie mentions tiP me in particular, that SO pieces of brass cannon had been thrown from the Rock into the sea from whence, however, there could be no difficulty in rais:ng them, the water being extremely shallow. These stores hadbeen progressively assembling, I am informed, by means of coasting Navigation for a considerable time past, as preparatory to the long. menaced, and I believe really intended invasion of the Kingdom of Sicily. . The conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Smith during Ate course of this.service, although attended with , a •enomentary reverse, has been represented to me; Sy Major-General Mackenzie, in terms of great approba tion, with every praise to the zeal and perseverance• bf the troops employed under his orders. He has alio expressed great acknowledgments to the active assist. ;ance of Captains Crawley and Palmer, of his Ma jesty's ships Philornel and Alacrity, who were his co operators on this service. The great disunion of party in the province. was.a triatat ial obstacle to every means of intelligence, and led to the loss of a detacinnent of the 21st Regiment, which had been sent at the solicitation of the inhabi tants of the town of Palmi, for their. protection. = • • Oeneral. Murat directed a flag of truce to me after our arrival here, to offer to treat n ibr an csr-hange of three officers, four non-commissioned officers, and 80 trten of this party, who were stated to be prisoners, ar.d on their march to Naples. I had scarcely agreed to the measure, when .in a seeming.fit of humour, oc.. easinned by a dissatisfaction at the Terms of Capita- . talon of this island, he sent another flag again to me, zrithdrawing the former offer, and &anti% anylur- Cher correspondence or communication With me what ever.

The honour of his Majesty's arms, my Lord, has. been maintained without .the loss of one British sot-. .aier, by shot or sickness, sr having recourse to that glorious, but at the same tilny depforsible, resource the assault of a populous city. When it is considered the courage and persevering . fortitude of the.French garrison, with their superiority of position and nurn-.; bers, I trust his Majesty will not disapprove of the measures taken for the reduction, the magnitude of the object obtained, and the terms granted to the ene-: 1 my; and which will be delivered to your Lordship by my Military Secretary. Captain Twigs, of the 54th Regiment, to whom I beg leave to refer for fut. ther information, and earnestly recommend him as an officer deserving such mark of favour as his hist; jesty may be graciously pleased to confer. . I I have, my Lord, now • a further most gratifying "duty to perform, thatof making known to his jesty the most zealous and indefatigable exertions of the following officers—BrigadierGeneral French, Se cond in Command ; Lieut. Col. Horsford, Coalman- ding the First Brigade ; Lieutenant-Colonel Smith, commanding the Royal Artillery, whose abilities and unwear ed attention surmounted uncommon difficul ties ; Lieutenant-Colonel. Myers, Deputy Quarter. Master-General and Commissioner, to arrange the Articles of Capitulation. The prominent situation of those officers afforded ' me a constant experience of their zeal, abilities, •and anxiety, for the most h'nourable termination of the enterprise ; and which sentiments, I can assure your' Lordship, actuated every officer, non-commissioned officer, and soldier, upon the expedition. It would be ingratitude in me, my Lord, were I to omit stating intim strongest possible terms the cordi i il co-operation, as I have already noticed, and efficient aid the army received from Captain Cumby, com manding his Majesty's squadron, before the city, who also landed two officers, Lieutenants Denman and Sheriff, with a detachment of seamen, who were of infinite service, and cheerfully underwent the most severe fatigue and labour. It is impossible for me to pass over in silence, the very great assistance I received from William Wal ton, jun. Esq an English Gentleman who former resided in the island, and whose acquaintance with the country, Inhabitants, and languages, rendered his voluntary and able services of the most essential kiene-, fit, as Private Secretary to me during theExpediticaul I have the honour to be, &c.

St. Carlos, before the City of St. Domingo, • July 3, 1809. MY LORD —I have the pleasure to inform your Lordship, that I sailed from Jamaica on the 7th ult. with the troops as per margin, and landed at Polingue, the nearest landing place, 30 miles distant from the city of *St. Domingo, on the 28th ult. when I im mediately proceeded to reconnoitre the forts and forti fications, which was completely effected on the 29th, And fully satisfied me that the walls and bastions were assailable by coup-de-main ; and, considering the garrison who had bravely defended them for a constant siege of eight months, it appeared to me that prompt and decisive measures were most prudent before a gallant enemy, and would obviate the evil effect of open trenches in the rainy season, the only foe to be dreaded by this corps, and which had al-' ready made a severe impression on the Spangh mt." tives of the country, 400 out of 600 Of their best regi ment being rendered unfit for service, and would pro bably be attended with more mortality to the Brstish troops, than a conflict upon the walls. His Excellency General Sanchez, from whom I' met, on the 30th ult. the most kind and cordial recep tion; being very sick some time before, and, I am grieved to say, still continues so by fatigue and liver disease, ordered the Spanish troops at the different posts to execute any directions given by me, whish they cheerfully performed by a forward movement immediately, and effectually cutting off the commu nication between the city of St. Domingo and • thtl strong fortress of Fort Jerome, which, by covering ' the only landing-place, pievented our communicating with the squadron. Having the same evening refused the French General's application for an Armistice, as by in closures No. 1,2, and 3, I advanced with a de tachment of the Spaniards to the Church of Saint Carlos, and established my quarters there within musket-shot of the city, confident that the British troops would be with us that night, which how ever was rendered impracticable, by heavy and in cessant rain, until the following night of the Ist, after suffering the greatest fatigue and privations, dragging the field-pieces on bad roads, and dreadful weather, and passages of rivers, without proper conveyance. The Ist of July 1 received another letter from General Barquier, No. 4, answered by No. 5, allow ing him until twelve the next day for an answer. In consequence of a continual fire of musketry from the walls, whilst the white flag was up, T moved forward with a party of dragoons, and sent an Aid de-Camp to demand the cause, who was very po litely received, and assured by General Barquier, that the inhabitants were firing at immense num. bers of wild pigeons flying over "the walls, but that he would give strict orders for it to cease during the suspension of hostilities. On the 2d instant I received a letter, No. 6, from General Barquier, respecting the movement of the troops to St. Carlos, which had been occupied. on the 30th ult. when his overture for negociation was rejected ; answered by No. 7. On the 3d the Commissioners for the Capitulation met; those on the part of the French having declared that their instructions were positively not to consent to surrender, which I also understood by prisoners and intercepted letters, and as I did* not conceive myself justifiable in admitting any other terms, the meeting adjourned until a communication could be had with the Commander of the naval forces. In consequence of bad weather, the answer was not received until the 6th instant, which perfectly coin cided with my opinion as to the only terms that could be granted to the enemy. I was also informed that the river Huna had overflowed its banks, and we were thus separated from the greater part of the ord nance stores and our provisions, which further de termined me to bring the matter to immediate issue, as I stated to Captain Cumby, and requested that co-operation in armed seamen, ammunition, and pro visions, which I found him ever ready most cordially to afford. With humble submission to the ALMIGHTY Disposer of Events, full consdence in a just cause and British hearts to maintain it, I wrote the letter, No. 8, to be delivered to General Barquier, on the French garri son again refusing to Lev down their arms, and imam. diately made the following disposition : The first brigade under the command of Lieute"- nant-Colonel Horsford, who preferred that command to the duty of Deputy-Adjutant General. The second brigade under Major Curry of the 54th regiment, Lieutenant-Colonel Smyth of the giment, a valuable Officer, not having joined by the Diego transport in which he was embarked, being a bad sailer, and whose absence I would have greatly, regretted, as well as the excellent Officers and men with him, had the expected engagement taken place. On firing the first gun from the enemy, the reserve to be formed of the Royal Irish and 54th Grenadiers ; fifty men of the 2d West India Regiment, and die . ' same number of the Porto Rico Regiment, as thia body had sufficient cover, as long as the walls of the, church and my quarters remained, upon which above twenty guns and one mortar bore at the distance at . 388 yards. I directed Brigadier-General Frenclvit most active and zealous Officer, to take up a position at a hollow about 150 paces distant in my rear ; and should the garrison attempt a sortie upon the reserve to wait their close approach, charge bayonets, and follow them into the city. Had the enemy remained within the gates, false attacks and feints at different points were to be made during the night ; and, scal ing !adders being prepafed, a general assault was to take place in open day, the first favourable opportu- 1 nity, a lodgement effected upon the bastions, but the troops not to enter the streets until furtherorders. During this hour of suspense under arms, the only sensation perceptible was impatience for attack, and the countenance of every British soldier, at that interesting period, 'depicted a resoltne'determinttion , to plant the glory of 'England wiithtbe-points of thek InYor-zts upon the fortified waltf of The hour having expired, j stilt nty Military *re- ~: • • _ acega of no othei. - . . liiiiosisiensience s if ft be 'agreeable to you, c ar f erences shall b% aroma te-intinowatthebour and place which you may 121 at ~,i n: by tortelagreittners aimed oa each side, h: o rd er to stipulate '' , s t h e Articles, of Capittalatioo. .
