On the 27th the Italian frigate of forty guns corvette which were making their escape trikil Bails to Naples, were attacked by the :cyaitc," anti although assisted by all the batteries 'as 'tent along shore, it was with great difficulty she gieintO the 'Mole at Naples. It is repre mntsd to,me that nothing could exceed the gal- Tarilry which was displayed by Captain Staines in iil.titesu several attacks, in which he was for.thrett days (and with little interruption by night) en gaged in a succession of battles; I ant sorry to add that he is grievously wounded, having lust his I:ft arm, and receives, usuch injury iti - other Assort" of the body.

For four or five days it was nearly calm ; and the whole expedition continued in sight of Calabria. 'On the I.sth, the ships and transports from Pa. lermo, amounting to nearly one hundred sail, ac. Companied by two Sicilian frigates and the Alceste, joined us —lli4 Royal Highness Prince Leopold was oil hoard one of his Sicilian Majesty's frhates, a : l 4 Lictitenant-General Mittman!, appoitted to itinmand she Sicilian troops employed on this ex. pedition, in the other.

No language which I am master of can convey to your Lordship an adequate idea of the gallan try, judgment, and good conduct displayed by Captain Staines. From the time of our arrival before the Bay of Naples, he was frequently en gaged with the batteries and gun-boats near Hair; captured a polacca from the to with troops des. tined for Procida—landed himself, supported by some Sicilian gun-boats, and destroyed a battery, with which he had been for some time engaged, of `four 42-pounders and a ten-inch mortar; and on the 27th.of June, Captains Staines and Mitford at. tacked the enemy's frigate and corvette, which, with a number of gun-boats, were moving from Bale to the Mole of Naples. The action lasted from seven till half-past eight P. M. with the fri. (.the corvette oat-sailing her much, soon made tli% Lest of her way" to Naples), during the greater part of the time the Cyane was within half pistol' shot of the enemy's frigate; but from her being so near the shore; and supported by a number of guff boats and batteries, was not able . to continue the action. It is with sincere concern I have to inform your Lordship, that during the action Captain •Staines, and both the Lieutenants of the Cyane, were wounded—but the ship was fought, the latter part of the action, by Mr. Joseph Miller, the Master, of whom Captain Staines speaks in the highest terms, and begs to recommend to your Lordship. The Captain speaks also very highly of the con duct of Lieutenant James Hall, First of the Cyane, and of every officer and man under his command. I have the honour to transmit, under another cover, a List of the Killed and Wounded on I board the Cyane on the 26th and 27th of June...- Captain Staines has lost his left arm out of the socket at his shoulder, and is wounded also in the side, but is in a fair way of recovery.

The butt was taken up by the Prisoner, and she returned it empty. On the present °erasion, Hogg could not swear the notes were in the boa when it fed (ruin his pocket ; and the Prisoner was discharged. A Lamplighter, who had been detained on a char;c of wounding a child theitead with a pair of scissars, was also discharged, aait appeared the scissars fell by accident from his hand.
