Major General Weljan now does full justice to Colonel Count Gata thel for the successful issue of this affair, and highly commends the distinguished conduct of Colonels Twitschancow and Scheel, Lieut.-Colonel Ksumin, the Lieutenant of Artillery Gerbel, Captain Smykow of the Minsk regiment, and, in general, all the Offi cers engaged in the action. In conclusion, Lieute nant-General Essen says, that the sortie from Riga, of the corps entrusted to the command of Count Stein hill • and the action, in which the enemy suffered a much more considerable loss than we did, had for its consequence that the troops of MiDonald withdrew from the position they had hitherto occupied, by which means the corps of Count Wittgenstien, which will support the corps of Count Steinhill, by its co-opera tion, will be enabled to act with much greater con. venience.

In the night between the 4th and sth inst. the English General Donkin, Quarter-Master-General of the Anglo-Spanish army, disembarked near the heights of San Nicholas, before Denea, with the 81st regiment of the line, some gunners, and other troops to the amount of from 11)00 to 1200 men ; and two, 'pieces of cannon, two 74-gun ships, a brig of war, and several gun-boats and small vessels protected the disembarkation, without gun-shot of the fort. " These troops, formed behind a ravine, establish. ed a battery, and towards morning marched in co. lumns upon Denea, driving in the advanced posts, who slowly retired, disputing the ground. 44 The Chief of the Artillery Battalion Bonafoux, Superior Commandant at Denea, had, from break of day, discovered the enemy, and made, with his garrison, dispositions of defence, composed of the 117th regiment. 44 The English General summoned it. The Com, mandant, Bonafous, coolly replied, that he waited the effect of his threats. At the same time, with his handful of brave men, he resolved to march upon the enemy, profiting by the arrival of the Captain of the 117th voltigeurs, Faubert, who, on the report of the fire, run with his company. He marched it on the left of the enemy to turn it, and with the remainder attacked them in front. " This double movement made . the enemy mad,l who precipitately embarked their cannon, and ap. proached the shore-, ordering the boats to approach the land. We pursued them with so much vigour, that they left four killed and eight wounded upon the heights of San Nicholas, and ran in crowds into the water, in order to escape more quickly under the protection of the fire of their vessels, and of the gre nas;iers of the 81st, who formed upon the bank in order to arrest us ; but the French precipitated them• selves upon their. with so much vigour, that they, everth-ew them, and caused them a considerable loss before they could re-embark. 44 The enemy had in all 30 killed, and nearly 80 wounded. On our side, we had one killed-, 41Ni 14 wounded.
