On the evening of the 25t13, l ordered the gun. boats to cannonade the toms. On the following morning, a general attack was , made by the brigs and gun-boats, under tke immediate direction of Captain Marshall, which was kept up with great spirit the principal part of the day, and did the enemy conside rable injury in the fortress, as well as sinking one of his gun-boats,. .90 An the 27th the attack was renewed with equal spirit and effed, and continue] on the morning of the 28th. Finding, however, the fire from the-fortress still continued extremely heavy and well directed, both to the sea and land, it was resolved without de lay to strengthen our batteries ; and for that purpose, I lost no time in landing two long eighteen pounders from the ship, and two mortarsthken from the enemy at Cuxhaven. Having on the 31st . completed our batteries, con sisting, the first of two long eighteen poundere,.serv ed : with red hot shot ; the_second of four thirty-two pounders; and the third, of two mortars, exclusive of those at the co-operating land force ; on the morn ing of the Ist instant, a most tremendous attack wax_ made on the enemy's works, both by sea and land, and continued until this night ; .but notwithstanding the town was fired in several pl:Aces, the garrison sti ll returned a very spirited and determined opposition. Ascertaining Irom the appearance of the town, and the information of numerous deserters, that the enemy have suffered severely by the late attack, it is my intention, in conjunction with-the General com manding the land forces, to send a flag of truce to morrow to summon the fortress, which I hope will be attended to. I have the !Amar to be, &c. (Signed) A. FARQUHAIT, Captain. His Majesty's Slip DeAree, off Gluskatadt, -January 6, 1814. eta,—ln my letter of the 2d instant, I had the ho nour of laying before you aq account of the opera. tions of his Majesty's squadron under my command, from the 25th ultimo, in the siege of the fortress of Gluckstadt, and that I intended next day to send a flag of truce, and again make proposals%for the sur render of the place, which had already suffered most severely from a heavy botnbardment 14 land and water, I have now, Sir, the honour to acquaint you, that on the 4th the gairison was summoned, but the Go vernor'S answer (that he might be allowed - time to surd to his Sovereign, at Copenhagen) being inad missible, I again ordered the squadron to advance to 'the attacks Negriciations were then happily set on fuot, and I have now the greatest satisfaction in in. forming you, that yesterday this extremely strong &tress, which has been several times besieged by powerful armies, but never carried, has at length; after an investment of sixteen days, and a most effec tual bombardment of six, surrendered to a division of the Crown Prince of Sweden's army, under the command of the General of Division Baron deßoye, and that or his Britannic M4jesty's squadron under my command, as per margin*. But in justice to the Governor and garrison of Gluckstadt, I beg to state, that they defended their post as brave men, and that the cause. of humanity appears to have determined the Governor to surrender. • - The city had suffered much by fire, as well as in deaths, and I firmly believe a few days bombardment would have entirely destroyed it. On the night of the`2tl and 3d, we had two eighteen-pounders and two 32-pounders within point blank, constantly at work with red hot short, besides the mortar and rocket battery, which caused immense deltruction, and kept the city in constant flames. The terms of capitulation and surrender I have now the honour to inclose ; a list of guns, stores, and ammunition in the fortress has .not yet been obtained, nor of armed vessels,. except the flotilla, consisting of seven gun-boats, and ode gun-brig. I have now a most pleasant duty to perform in expressing my best thanks and praise of the conduct of Captains Manshall, Banks, and Rose, Lieutenants Kneeshaw and Sir G. Keith. and all the other offi cers and men employed in this most arduous service, both by lend and water, at this inclement season of the year. JA- • • , I beg to inclose a list - of killed and wounded be longing to the squadron, and - which has been almost miraculously small, considering the continuance of the bombardment, exposed to upwards of 30 pieces of heavy artillery ; nor has the squadron been mate rially damaged ; both brigs, and gun-boats haVe re ceived a considerable number of shot in their hulls, and rigging much cut. Nos. 1 and 12 gun-boats were dismasted, but the damage has been immedi ately replaced. The squadron is again in an effec. tive state. The unanimity of the army and navy has been such as - could not fail to insure success ; I am most particularly obliged to General Baron de 13oye for his marked kindness and attention to all my wishes, as also to the exertions of his officers and men in for• warding the public service:--1 have, Bcc.

Dispatches of which the following are copies have been received ft this Office, addressed to Viscount CASTLEREAGH% from Lord BURGISERSH and his Excellency General Viscount CATHCART. , _ Bask, JatissartlP, • MY Loan..-I have the honour of reporting to your Lordship, that General Bubna entered Geneva, by capitulation, on the 30tht. It appears that the officer in command of the French garrison at that place, was without the , means of resistance, and that he had every reason to dread the hostility of the inhabitants ; he was allowed to• retire with his garrison, when the Austrians took possession of the place. The people of Geneva are about to reestablish their ancient Government ; they have manifested the most decided aversion so the dominion of France, which had - been forced upon them ; and I hope they tray effectually be secured against the recurrence of that misfortune. In the Duchy of Savoy, the same 'spirit of hatred to the tyranny of France has universally been shewn; an organization has already been commenced in the country, with the view of asserting its ancient in . dependence—we are as yet without details upon the subject, but I hope at an early period to transmit to your Lordship the most favourable intelligence from that country. • The corps of Austrians, under General Biouchi, jfi occupied io the investment of Befort ; it has re ' tiiirtid the division of General Wrede's corps, which was before employed uppn that service, and which', having joined that officer, will to-morrow advance upon Colmar. , • . ' General Biouchi has his advanced guard at Vesoul, and has been directed to send' forward considerable parties to Lingres. It appears, from the reports of, that officer, that the Austrians have met with the best possible reception from the inhabitants of France. The corps of Austrians under the orders of the Prince of Hesse, will arrive near Besancon on the Vth ' of this month, andmill form the, investment of that place. - • Detachments have been sent by General Bubna I towards Italy, and to the different points of strength on the roads of the Simplon, St. Bernard, and St. Co. , chard. He has also detached parties towards Lyons. A body of one thousand Cossacks has deen de tached horn Altkirch to .Remirtnont, Epinal, and Nancy. These troops are destined to reconnoitre the valley of the Moselle. General Wittgenstein has been directed to OM the Rhine this day in the neighbourhood of Strasburg, ' and to push forward his advance upon Soverne. He I will communicate by his right with General Blucher, who wilt have passed that river with a part of his corps at Oppenhemt, and with the rest of it below Mayence : • By his left he wilt communicate With General Wredep who will push forward from Colt* to' - 7- 7.7 . Schlestat, and from that place - connect him self wits that Officer. It does not appear that the French have as yet as. sembled any considerable force at Calmar. General Wrede will attack whatever he may find there to-mor row, bet it is not believed the enemy will await him. No information of any interest. - has been received from the Austrian Italian army , since I last had the honour-of addressing your Lordship. The troops under Geaeral Nugent have entered Bologna. The head-quarters of Prince Schwartzenberg will move to-morrow from this place to Altkirch. The corps of General Barclay de Tay will be assembled at that place on the 13th. Prince Schwartaenberg will move forward before that tithe, and will endea. 1/Our to establish himself in the valley of the Moselle, The fire upon the fortress of Huninguen comment. ed on the 29th, atnight. The second parallel has not yet been completed, and I have not yet observed that any material Injury has been done to the defences of the place. The corps of the Prince Royal (rf Wurtemkerg has crossed - the Rhine at the pontoon-bridge, established below Huninguen at Maerkt, has joined Gen.Wrede t and. will co-operate in his movement to-morrow. I have the honour to be, &C. (Signed) mmosetestr. Freyburg in Brisgau, January 6, 1814. MT LORD—The cavalry of the reserve have passed Freyburg. To-morrow the two divisions of the Rus sian foot guards, with the'Prussian foot guards, and a very fine regiment of Baden foot guards, will march through this place. They will be followed by the reserve artillery, and by other troops. • The Emperor of Russia's headquarters will move with the guards, but his Imperial Majesty will go by Schaffhausen, and meet this force assembled near Basle on the 31st December (12th January), and will probably pass the Rhine on the following alai. the anniversary of his crossing the Niemen. General Count &alma has occupied Geneva, of which the o ffi cial accounts were received yesterday. I - have the honour to inclose a translation of the Bul, plain, which has been printed here this morning.— Patroles from this corps have been as far as Turin. • General Count Wrede, with tbe army under his command, has his head-quarters at Colmar.. The Prince Royal of Wirtemberg is before Is!eu Brisac, Which is blockaded. The head.cetarters of the Field Marshal Prince Schwar4enberg are on the march from Altkirchen upcin Montbcillard, with the 'whole 444trian 1!.?:ort is observed by a detachment. Count Wittgenstein has crossed the Rhine near what .cas Fort Louis, and has occupied the two forts Vauban and Alsace, which were evacuated. Marshal Blucher has also crossed the Rhine, and holds Coblentz . The Russian corps of Langeron is before Mayence, on the left bank of the Rhine, Cas. sel being still masked. General Sacken crossed that river on the Ist January, in presence of his*Majesty the King a Prussia, near oPPenheint t nud having stormed a redoubt, took six cannon, and 700 pi-ito. tiers. The Rnssian General St. Priest crossed below Mayence. - . None of these corps hare as yet met with serious resistance, and they are on the best terms with the inhabitants. 1 have heard of but one instance where till , have been red upon from the villages by:the inhabitants. . Several regiments of Cossacks have passed, and have patroled towards fancy, and in different di rections. The dreidful fever which Broke oqt among the Frepch last year, and which infected the whole coun try through which, the remains ot" their army passed, has continued on that hire, and the places they have occupied, in many of which it pow rages with in• creased violence. Mayence, Torgau, andlDresden, are the places where it is at present most destructi7e. The French are•the principal victims, hut many of the in habitants of the'adjaCent villages perisk Torgau is so muds infected, that it would be dangerous to in. troduce fresh troops. The Russian relnforcements arc very fine. andtlie army is healthy anti in good condition, hcrses as well as men. By the latest accounts' the enemy was reported to have twelve thourand men at Metz. The Guards were removed trpm thence t and are stated to be concen trated about Paris, except three or four thousand, said to have been detached towaids Flanders. There is no considerable force at Besancon ; the Genesi' commanding there went- to 'Lyons for slice. cour, but returned without success. The Monneurs have been received here to the 30th inclusive, which contain Bonaparte's answer to the Address.—l have the honour La be, - Etc. (Signed) OATITART. (TRANSLATION.) Head-quariers, Altkireh, January 4. 'Yesterday Captain Baron Welitmer arrived with dispatches from Field Marshal Lieutenant Count Babes. announcing the occupation of the city of 'Geneva. When the troops arrived within cannon-shot, Count Bubna was informed that it was intended to Barren " dir i the place. - The columns were nevertheless supplied with ar tillery, ladders, 'and fascinet, and - advanced within grape-shot of the-place, when they saw *the white Vag, and at the same time the enemy's cavalryretiring towards Chambery. Major Count St. Quintin, who had been sent into the town, reported, that the Com mandant, Qener4 Jordis; a worthy old officer, was lying ill of violent cramps, surrouaded by his Staff. and in such a state as to be unable eitber.4o resist or to capitulate. The gates wire opened, and the temps marched in. and occupied the.town and the passage over the Arve. On the 40th December, fifty artillerymen had ar rived, and there was a report that several battalions had marched from Tulin to reinforce the garrison of Geneva, and that General Fournier was ordered, by the Emperor Napoleon, to defend this most important point to the last extremity. In this fortress was found a very valuable artillery preparation, one hundred and seventeen cannon (of which nineteen aft iron ordnance), and thirty French field-pieces. Count Bubna lost nn time in detaching parties on thiroad from Gex to St. Claude, to secure the pas sage over the Jura, and also patroles from Martigny upon Simplon and Sr. Bernhard's mountains.
