Here follows a List of Vessels captured by his Majesty's ship Another letter from Capt. Martin gives an account of the capture Cif twelve other vessels laden with timber, spars, and cordage belonging to the Emperor of Russia. His Majesty's Ship L'Aintable, off Cuxhaven, July 29, 1909. SlR,—The French troops in Hanover, not content with fre quent predatory and piratical incursions in the neighbourhood of Cu shaven, had the audacity to enter the village of Ritz:mule with a body of horse at mid-day, on Wednesday the 26th inst. asal very narrowly missed making several officers of the tousadron prisoners. In consequence I was induced to land n detachment of seamen and mariner from the vessels sonposiug tke squadron under my orders, for the purpose, if possible, of intercepting them. In the ordour of pursuit we advanced until we got sight of Brernerleke, into which we learned they had retreated. The information was incorrect. On entering the town we were assured that the enemy, to the number of about 250, occupied the town of Gessendorf two miles distant, and further that it contained a depot of confiscated merchaselize. it was resolved instantly to attack it. For this purpose Cap lain (bate of the M oscpsito, advanced with a detachment, while I directed Captain Pettet of the Bliseis to take a circuitous route, and take a well constructed battery of four twelve pounders. commanding the river Weser in flank, ar hile the remainder, under my own immediate directions, headed by Capt. Watts, of the Ephira, advaeced to attack it in front. The road we had to pass subjected organ to a galling tire of round and grape from the battery, the guns of-which were all pointed inwards, and which in return we could only answer by discharges of musketry. Gessendorff. though certainty tenable with the mon bers the enemy had opposed to ours, was on the approach of C tpt. Grata precipitately evacuated. The enemy being pre viously informed of our approach. had put into requisition a uumber of light wagons fur the transportation of the lout, in the rear of which 60 well mounted cavalry drew tip. The enemy ill the battery, seeing us determined notwithstand ing their tire, to carry our point, and that we were tnaki a; pre parations for fording a deep and wide creek in their front, aban doned it, and embarked in boats on the Weser ready for their receptioa, under a severe fire of musketry from our detachment, with the loss on their part of several killed and wounded.— From a fore-knowledge of our intentions on the part of the enemy, we made but four prisoners, the Commandant of - I the. battery. Monsieur Le Murche, a lieutenant and two inferior otticers. The battery guns were burst in pieces, the embruzures demolished, the gull-carriages burnt, togetherwith the magazine, guard-houses, &c. dm. The powder we brought oft; together witb six waggon loads of confiscated merchandise. Captains Goate ' Pettet and Watts, are here mentioned as baying particularlydistinguibbed themselves.) The distance from Geffeodorf to Cuxhaven is 29 miles ; I snare It Om to their Lordsbips to estimate the spirit, alacrity, and expedition with which this service must have been per. formed, when I slate, that is 24 hours from our departure, the whole detachment returned, mind were safely embarked on board their re:pective ships, without the losi of an iodividnalf 1 have the honour to he, &r.
