ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, AUGUST 5, 1509." Copy of a Letter from Vice-Admiral Sir James Saumaret, X. B. Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Baltic, to the Honourable William Wellesley Pole, dated on beard the Victory, off Nargeil Island, sth July 1809. Sir—On my arrival in the Gulf of Finland, hav ing detached Captain Martin of his Majesty's ship Implacable, with the Melpomene under his orders, to cruize to the Eastward of Nargen island, I herewith inclose a list of vessels which he has captured, for the information of their Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty ; several of them being laden with naval stores belonging to the Emperor of Russia, and which cannot fail proving a valuable acquisition in England. I also inclose, fur their Lordships' information, copies of two letters I have received from Captain Martin of yesterday's date, one of them giving an account of the most gallant and enterprising attack made by the boats of the ships named in the margin*, under the orders of Lieutenant Hawkey of the Im placable, upon a Russian flotilla of gun-boats, under Percrla Point on the coast of Finland ; which, not withstanding their strong position, they succeeded in carrying ; six of the gun-boats, mounting each a thirty-two and twenty-four pounder, having been brought off, and another sunk ; together with the vessels under their protection, laden w ith p ow d er an d prov i sions for the Russian army in Finland being captnred, and a large armed ship which was burnt. In referring their Lordships to C a ptain M a rtin' s .detail :thisimportant service, I sincerely lament ;the loss'io have been very considerable ; Lieutenant ; Hawkey, a brave and gallant officer, who had dis tinguished himself upon various occasions, and Lieu tenant Stirling of the . Prometheus having been killed, and the several men belonging to hii Majesty's ships, as in the inclosed list, having been tilled and wounded. I cannot close this without expressing my highest admiration of the undaunted courage and intrepidity with which this service has been executed, and which I doubt not will be duly appreciated by their Lord ships.--I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) JAMES SAIMIARZE. • Implacable, Bellerophon, Melpomene, and Prometheus. Ex:Tact of the first Letter front Captain Martin above allueed to, dated off Pere°la Point, July 6, 1509, (stated by Sir Janis Saumarez through mistake to be dated the Bth.) The Implac.tble and Melpomene having stood into the Gulph of Narva, captured nine sail of vessels, laden with timber, spars, and cordage, belonging, to Me Emperor of Russia, and which I doubt not ►will prove a valuable acquisition to our own dock yards.—The boats of the ships under that active and valuable officer Lieutenant Hawkey (of whose en terprizing spirit I had occasion to speak so highly when off Dantzig) have looked into every creek along the South coast of the Gulph, without finding any vessels whatever, and he is now on the opposite with the Same view. same P. S. Since writing the above, Lieutenant Hawkey has returned with three vessels, captured by the boats of the Implacable, Melpomene, and Prometheus un der his command, and he reports eight sail of gun boats protecting some ships in shore, and is very de sirous of attacking them, which shall be done, if there is a reasonable of success. Maksty'S Asp Implacable, of Percola Point, July 8. Sit—The • position taken by the Russian flotilla under Percola Point, seemed so much like a defiance, that I considered something was necessary to be done, in order to impress these strangers with that sense of respect and fear, which his Majesty's other enemies are accustomed to shew o the British flag ; I there fore determined to gratify the anxious wish of Lieut. Hawker to lead the boats of the ships named in the margin*, which were assembled by nine o'clock last night, and proceeded with an irresistible zeal and in trepidity towards the enemy, who had the advantage of local knowledge, to take a position of extraordi nary strength within two rocks, serving as a cover to their wings, and from whence they could pour a de ' structive Tore of grape upon our boats, which, not withstanding, advanced with perfect coolness, and never fired a gun, till actually touching the enemy, when they boarded sword in land, and carried all • before them.—l believe a more brilliant atchievemetat does not grace the records of our naval history; each officer was impatient to be the leader in the at tack, and each man zealous to emulate their noble example, and the most complete success has been the consequence of such determined bravery • of eight sun -boats , each mounting a thirty - two, a nd twenty four pounder, and forty-six men, six have been brought out, and one sunk ; and the whole of the ships and vessels (twelve in number), under their pro tection, laden with powder and provisions for the Russian army, brought out, and a large armed-51.4 taken and burnt ; I have deeply to lament, the loss of many men Oiled and wounded, and especially that most valuable officer Lieutenant Hawkey, who after taking one gun-boat, was killed by a grape-shot, in the act of boarding the second. No praise from my pen can do adequate justice to this lamented young man ; as an officer, he was active, correct, and zea lous, to the highest degree ; the leader in every kind of enterprize, and regardless of danger ; he delighted in whatever could tend to promote the glory of his country ; his last words were, " Huzza ! push on ! England for ever !" Mr. Hawkey had been away in the boats on dif ferent services, since last Monday, accompanied by Lieutenant Vernon, whose conduct in this affair has been highly exemplary, and shewn him worthy to be the companion of so heroic a man ; but while I am induced to mention the name of Mr. Vernon, from his constant services with Mr. Hawkey, I feel that every officer, seaman, and marine, has a claim to my warmest praises, and will, I trust, obtain your favourable recommendation to the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty. Lieutenant Charles Allen of the Bellerophon was the Senior Officer after Mr. I Hawkey's death. . I have just been informed that Lieutenant Stirling of the Prometheus, who was severely wounded, since dead ; his conduct in this affair was very con spicuous, and Captain Forrest speaks highly in praise of the zeal and activity of his services on every occa sion. lam sure you will readily believe that Capt. Forrest did not witness the preparation for this attack, without feeling an ardent desire to command it, but I waiobliged to resist his pressing importunity, as a matter of justice to Mr. Hawkey. The Russians have suffered severely in this con flict,. the most moderate statement makes it appear of nsplacibie, Bellerophon, Melpomene, sad Prometheus. 1 that two-thirds of thews have been killed and wound ed, or jumped overboard. Enclosed is a list of kill.ll and mvotended, the names of.the officers emi toyed, An account of vessels captured, and number of prisoners. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) T. R. MARTIN.

Copy of a Letter from Captain Lord George Stuart of his Ma jesty's ship the Ahnable, addressed to Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Strachan, and a duplicate of which has been transmitted to the Honourable William Wellesley Pole. His Majesty's ship l'Aimable, off Cuxhaven, July 29, 1809. Sin—The French troops in Hanover, not content with frequent predatory and piratical incursions in the neighbourhood of Cuxhaven, had the audacity to enter the village of Ritzbuttle with a body of horse at mid day, on Wednesday the 26th inst. and very narrowly missed making several Officers of the squadron pri- , spners. In consequence I was induced to land a de tachment of seamen and marines from the vessels composing the squadron under my orders, fur the purpose, if possible, of intercepting them. In the ardour of pursuit we advanced until we got sight of the town of Bremerlehe, into which we learnt they had retreated. The information was incorrect. On entering the town we were assured that the enemy, to the number of about 250, occupied the town of Ges. sendorf, two miles distant, and further that it con tained a depot of confiscated merchandize. It was resolved instantly to attack it. For this purpose Car. Goate of the Mosquito advanced with a detachment, while I directed Captain Pettet of the Briseis to take a circuitous route, and take a well-constructed battery of four twelve-pounders, commanding the river Weser in flank, while the remainder, tinder my own imme diate directions, headed by Capt. Watts, of the Ephira, advanced to attack it in front. The road we had to pass subjected us all to a galling fire of round and grape from the battery, the guns of f which were all pointed inwards, and which in return we could only answer by discharges of musketry. Gessendorf, though certainly tenable with the numbers the enemy had op posed to ours, was on the approach of Capt. Goate precipitately evacuated. The enemy being previously informed of our approach, had put into requisition a number of light waggons for the transportation of the foot, in the rear of which sixty well-mounted ca valry drew up. . The enemy in the battery, seeing us determined * notwithstanding their fire, to carry our point, and that we were making preparations for fording a deep and wide creek it their front, abandoned it, and embarked in boats on the Weser ready for their reception, under • a were gat of musketry from our. detachment, with t le loss da their-paii•of several killed and wounded, From a keebreriedge of our intentions on the part of the eriiint - wiiitade but four pt isoners, the Com in.indant of the FAtoery, Monsieur Le Murche, a Lieu tenant, and-two inferior Officers. The battery, guns o were burst in pieces, the embrazures demolished, the gun-carriages burnt, together with the magazine guard-houses, &c. &c. The powder we brought off; together with six waggon loads of confiscated mer chandize. I beg leave to state to you, Sir, for their Lordships' information, how mach I feel indebted to Captain Goate, for the zeal and ability evinced by him on'this as on all other occasions, during the time he has been Commanding Officer on the Station. I also feel indebted to Captain Pettet, for his Punc tuality and promptness in executing my orders; and can only regret that an opportunity was not afforded him of distinguishing himself on this occasion conge nial to his wishes. But I beg leave particularly to mention Captain Watts, of the Ephira, who in the most galfao.L and :ic.ive manner advanced intrepidly in fr ont pit - he attacking party amid the enemy's galling.fit:e, and rendered himself equally conspictious afteKwar ts, for 'ii; unremitting exertion in the complete demolitiom of the battery ; in the execution of which service, I am concerned to say, he received a wound in t which from its nature will in no shape incapacitate him from future service. A -want of zeal and activity was discernable no where ; to every officer and man I must award the meed of praise so justly their due ; but of Lieutenant Burgess, of the Pincher, and W. Hawkins, Second Lieutenant of l'Aimable, T am more competent to speak in favour, fur their indefatigable exertions in .forwarding my orders to the different detachments. The distance from Gessendorf to Cuxhaven is 28 niles ; I leave it then to their Lordships to estiniate .he spirit, alacrity, and expedition with which this service must have been performed, when I state, that on 24 hours from our departure, the whole detachment eturned, and were safely embatked on board their .-espective ships, without the loss of an individual. -I have the honour to be, &c.
