JULY 19. t he passage, and both she and oorselvea engaged with the squadron and numerous gun-boats. However, at half-past nine, 1 had the sa tisfaction, after sailing twelve miles through a passage, in some places scarcely wide enough to admit of our studding sail booms being out, of running the Dictator's bow upon the land with her broadside to wards the enemy (within hail) as per margin+, who were anchored with springs on their cables, close together, and supported by gun boats, in the small creek of Lyngce, the Calypso most nobly following us up. In half 'hour the frigate was literally battered to atoms, and the flames bursting forth from her hatchways ; the brigs had also struck, and most of the gu:i.boats were completely beaten, and some sunk. The action had scarcely ceased, and the ship &float, than we found cur selves again attacked by the gun-boats which had retreated on seeing the fate of their squadron, and were again collecting from all quarters ; but Capt. Weir, of the Calypso, having tal:en a most advantaaeons position, engaeetl them with the greatest gallantry and effect ; indeed, I am at a loss how to express my approbation of the prompt exertion of this gallant and meritorious officer. The Podargus and Flamer in the meantime were warmly engaged with numerous batteries and gun boats, both brigs being aoround ; but by the uncommno exertion and extreme gallantry of Captain Robd hard, and the offieera and crews of the bri e -a, they at last got afloat very much cut up ; on this occasion Lieut. England particularly dis tineoished himself. At three A. M. having got the Dictator, Calypso, and prize brigs in the fair way, we attempted to get out through the passages, when we were assailed by a division of gun-boats from behind th: rocks, so situated that not a . gun could be brought to bear on them from either vessel ; iii this situation both priz • brigs grounded, and notwithstanding every exertion on the part of Lieut. lames Wilkie of thiq ship, in the Laaland, who had extinguished a fire on board her, which was burning with great fury, and Lieut. Hooper, of the Cl. IVSO, in the Kid, we hal to abandon them complete wreck , , huma nity forbidding our setting them on tire, owing to the number of wounded men they had on board. I cannot conclude this letter without mentioning, in terms of praise, Mr. William Buchanan, the First Lieutenant of this ship, a most gallant and excellent officer. From the nature of the attack, 1 have been obliged to length'n my report, probably more than the service pertbrmed justifies, but in that case,l trust you wilt only ettribute it to my anxiety to endeavour to do justice to a set of officers and men who, I am sure, have done their duty to admiration. The conduct of every individual on board his Majesty's ship I have the honour to command, has been highly meri torious, and I cannot otitzit to add the names of Lieutenants Dutton, and Edwards, Captain Triscott, Lieutenant James Baker, and Lieutenant F. - M`Namara, of the royal marines, Mr. R. West, the Master, and Mr. J. Luelcomlee, the Purser. The skilful attention of Mr. Hay, the Surgeon, to our own men as wall as to our enemies, has been beyond all praise, and he speaks in the highest terms of Mr. Sanderson, his Assistant. Captains Robilliard and Weir, mention the conduct of all their officers and men to have been such as charac terize Britons on such occasion:, and I am sure I can with great jus tice add my tribute of applause _ Enclosed I have the honour to transmit a list of the killed, ke. al- though I cannot help deploring tic loss of so ma:►y brave 12► n, it is much less than could be reasonably expected. The Danes acknow ledge to have lost about three hundred killed and wounded; I rather suspect five. Our ships have suflered extremely in their hulls, masts, and rigging. I have the honour to be, &c.
