Admiral Lord Keith has transmitted to John Wilson Cie:slier, Fm. a biter from Roar Admiral Penrose, dated on board his Majesty's ship Porcupine, off the her of the Adour, the 25th of February, statii.g that the boats and studl vessels destined to assist the operations of the army under the Marquis of Wellington, succeeded in crossing the Bar oftl,• above river on the preceediug day. A breeze, which sprung up in the night of the 25d, was the first that had o:fered itself, since the necessary preparations INA been in for. wardness, to enable the vessels to reach the mouth of the Atlonr ; and early on the following morning the Rear Admiral was off the Bur, with the vessels oral boats collected for the service. The boats of the ves , r Is of war, with two flat boats, were sent direct. ly to the bar to endesvour to find a Fissage through the surf, this British troops heiog at that time seen from the ships crossing over tit* north side of tl:c river, but greatly in want of the bunts intended Los their assisianc,.: Cawaitt on ti Spanish built boat, selected as the most safe for the at f awl ktvitig tvita him the principal pilot, was over set in hie ailett:pt if. tttle., but escapee on shore. Lieutenant Deben. Eats, in a six oared cutler, ‘,ll cc ceded in reachilig the beach ; the other boats tett:Fuca to wait the result of the next tide, it being scarcely possible that one iu fifty could then havc crossed. . • • A pilot W , 14 sent to land to the south-west of the river, and walk from thence t the Arlortr, iii oukr to snake a concerted signal Irons within the Bar, to guide the l'essels through the safest parts. Will . out shit Car tln.lre appeared Ito itit,Aval; a Jong henvy line of surf alone presenting itself. ItewitiJs were offered to the leading vessel, the secfoid, the third, &c. _ _ _ Lienteimot Flag-I;.cutenant to Rear-Admiral Penrose, Wag dispatched also to endeavour to land, and walk to the army - ; nod the Rear Adtulial was informed, about that• time,. by Sir Ashit Hope, of the progress made by the ttoops, and the great utility of which tho boats wou!d prove, if they could join. The tide h•ing at length at a proper height, and all the emelt well up fiir the attempt, several drew near the bar, but hauled off again, till at last Lieutenant Cheyne (of the Woodlark sloop), in a Spanish glut boat with five croved.the surf and ran up the river. Tl;e next was a prize bunt, manned from a transport, closely follimed by a gun beat, ums:mantled by Lieuteisa-nt Cliesshyre, who was the • fi rst that has twisted the British colours in the Adour. Tim,: rest of the boats and, ressels followed in rapid succession, and with extraordinary succesk z !al iind ss:Hice of the ottccrs tti umpltauting over all the ditlicohies of the naviga! inn. The Rear-Admiral was not het enabled to transmit a return of the casaalties : it was hoped from the nearness of the shore that they %you'd fall mostly on the vessels. 1 . N;~RUrIS. _ . J.
