...,.-,. At seven el.;ek, ji.st beiOre the breaching battery was ready to. Open, a Hag mai %hem n from tile tort. Captain Stoddart, ot the Stromboln, and captain Zi•lmpfeiming, mere immediately sent - to the tort, an 1 the latter retorneil in a few minutes m oth i from the Command:nit, to snrresider the fort and garrison upon con ditions ot marching out with the honours of war; the officers aid men airesert bet their private property. • Tins was immediately acceded to by Lieut.-Colonel Prevost and. myself: ,the tort was taken pos , ession of by the advance of the • troops. The garrison marched cut, • grounded their arms on the glacis, mild were imotcAiately embarked. I have great satisfaction in stating, that dining this service, which has. so much depe‘nded upon the united exertions of the ;limy i n d ' l ,lttavy, the mast peilect cordiality has existed among all ranks ; and I have met, in Lien'.-Colone! Prevost, all that openness of communi cation and codidence which an acquaintance with the character of thi s exeelle;tt officer gave Me reason to expect. Iu at: operation win* the hibm•ions exertions of the Captains, Officers, t , eamen, and marines, under my orders,' have been most COIISpi.IIUIIS, I ithpe 1 OHM be exensed for having gone so notch into detail ; but it is eivalut:.•, and a most agreeable one, to bring wider %emir view the pittisevi 01 thy conduct of all ranks and descriptions. must partit milady di W your attention to the zeal and activity dis played-by that vaant'ote Captaii Carroll, of the Vo!eano ; Ina c• mine, vt•as the admiration (Set-41y •body, and he wa: ably sup ported by Lieut.

Flinn the exislesion of a • shell twar taut , the night before, Captain Carroll was obliged to suspend Lis services mitil the looming of the 7!h, (but I am happy to state he has perreet:y re•overed) and Captain Stoddart, of the • B;ronibuio, suceuctled hini in the direction of gutting, up the guns, &c. ter the breaching battery, and deserves evety credit for his ac • tive-serviee. I ant also much holubted to Captain Badeock, of the Mane, for the assista . nee he afforded me. I cannot conclude letter. without calling to your notice the inderati;able.exertions'of Lieut. Corbyn, both in gettinj the elms up to the bat yhe commanded, and the fire he kept from them after.% arils ; and I feel highly gratified in noticing the conduct of so eld exec:dent an officer, with where value I am well ac quaitited from a ie.' vice of nu years together. I have the 'anent to enclose a list of the killed am] wounded of the:crews of the ships under my orders, which considering the fire upon its for so matey hours is anacconotably The troops under Colonel Prevost's command have had an officer mid tow men killed, and 39 wounded, in which are included an officer and seven soldicis of the Spanish regiment of Palma. I have enelosed you a list of the garrison at the, fort, consisting of two lieutenants, a surgeon, and garde-Magazin, 16 Italian artillery men. and tiS non-commissioned officers anti soldiers of the 11th French regiment of the line, of whom two %vete killed and eleven t r votoided.
