Stn—l transmit, to be laid before the Lords Com• missionvs of the Adm;ralty, the copy of a letter which I have received through Lieutenant Batiks, 'commanding the Blazer &un brig, off Cuxhaven.

I have the he. 'flour to be, &c. (Signed) w. YOUNG. In my letter, dated 17th instant,-I had the honour to represent to your Lordship, that in consequence of the effect which the glorious success of the Rus , sian arms produced, and the favourable reports from different parts of the Hanoverian Coast, I determined immediately to take every step, which the inconsider able force at my disposal would admit of, to promote the great and just cause. Lieutenant Banks proceeded with two gun-brigs, reinforced by two serjeants and thirty veterans, to Cuxhaven, from which the French had departed with great expedition, after destroying all their gun boats, and dismounting the guns from the strong worts constructed for the defence of the harbour.-- On a summons from Lieutenant Banks, the Castle of Kitzebbttel, and batteries of Cuxhaven; were sur rendered to be at the disposal of his Majesty by the Burghers, and the British and Hamburgh flags were imme,liately displayed. Major Kentzinger, an officer perfectly qualified for such a mission, was sent to Cuxhaven, having re ceived instructions to communicate as soon as pos sible with the Russian General and the Senate of Hamburgh ; and this O ffi cer was -immediately fol lowed by adetachment trim' the Bth Royal Veteran Battalion, and a supply of all the arms, &c. which were not actually employed by this garrison. j The loyal people of Hanover, who have been so long oppressed, display every where the British co lours, and G. R. upon their habitations. In the Weser, the inhabitants of that part of the country as sembled in considerable numbers, and took the strong and important battery and works at Bremerlee ; and a'corps of about fifteen hundred French having as sembled in its vicinity, which threatened to retake the battery, application was made immediately to Major Kentzinger for assistance, who having left Cuxhaven with a-party of the soldiers in waggons, was met by tilos: brave and grateful men, who gave him the pleasing intelligence that the enemy had marched off in great haste, in consequence of the landing ?If the British tro •ps, which were reported to amount to a considerable number.

Stnm.-Agreeably to your arrangement, I proceeded with the galley of the Brevd ivren, and cuuer of the Blazer, in search of the Dinisli privateer said to in fest the upper part of the river: At day-light this morning, we discovered two galliots, which were at first supposed to be merchant-vessels; but, on ap• proaching them, they hailed, and instantly opened a fire. In thi•. critical situation, there was no safety but in resolutely boarding ; and I took advantage of the cheerful readiness of our people. We carried them under the smoke of their second discharge, without the loss of a min, and only two wounded co the part of the enemy; the galley boarding the first, and the Blazer's cutter, in the most gallant manner, the second. They proved to be the Danish gun boats Die Junge Troutman, commanded by Lieute nant Lutkin, and Die Liebe, Lieutenant Writt, each mounting two long eighteen-pounders, and three 12e pounder carronades, with a complement of twenty five men each.

Fors Napo leon, which is half a mile higher up the river, I shall order to be destroyed. Every thing in these forts is in disorder, the guns dismounted, the carriages and stores destroyed.
