Strentr.yitz, the ,i‘.id-de- Camp of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Wm. Erskine. Lieut.-General Sir Rowland Hill having learnt that the enemy had left at Maguilla a great pro portion of the soldiers who had been-taken pri soners in Major-General Slade's affair of the 11th inst. sent Lieutenant Strennwitz, on the 13th, with a\ detichment, .consisting of 50 men of the 3d dragoon guards and royal dragoons, under the command of Lieut. Bridges., of the ,Royals, to bring them in. On his arrival there be fell- .in - with a detachment of French dragoon's, cOnsist ing of eighty men, wham he attacked with such conduct and effect as to kill many and take one Officer, twenty wen,- and twenty-five horses, pri soners, with the loss of only one man killed. I have frequently had occasion to draw your Lordship's attention to the conduct of Lieutenant ttrenuwitz, and I am happy to have this fresh opportunity of doing so. , I have the honour to lie, acc. • • WELLINGTON. ild;niralty-Office, July 21, 1812. Copy of a Letter. from Vice-Admiral Sir td:wortl renew, Bart. to John William Croker, Esq. dated on board the Caledonia off Toulon, June 10, 1812. SIR, I have the hononr to inclose, for the infornin tion of the Lords Commisioners•of the Admiralty, the copy of a letter and its inclosures, which I have received from Capt. Rowley, of his Majesty's ship America, stating the" particulars of a spirited attack upon the' enemy's batteries at Lauguillia, and the capture of a convoy that, had taken shel ter under them. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) EDW. PELLEW. His Ufajesty's ship America, off Lanpillia, May 19, 1811. SIR, I have the honour to inform you)that having 'yesterday, in company with the Leviathan and elair, fallen in with a convoy of eighteen sail of the enemy de ep ly laden, which - took shelter under the town and butteries of Languillia, and Capt. Campbell concurring in opinion with me as to the practicability of bringing them out or destroy-. ing them by getting possession of the batteries, the marines of both ships, under the direction of Capt. Rea, of the America,were lauded this morn = ing at day-break to effect it; A . party under Captain Owen, Royal Marines, of the Leviathan, was detached_ to carry a bat tery of five twenty-four and eighteen pounders to the eastward, which he performed in a ‘ very spi rited and judicious manner, the - French officer who commanded falling in the attack : the main body in the mean time rapidly advancing through a severe tire of grape, carried the battery ad joining the town of Languillia, consisting of four twenty-four and eigteen pounders and a mortar, though protected by a strong body of the ene r my posted in a. wood, and in several contiguous buildings, upon,the latter of .vhich the guns were immediately 'turned with much effect. The enemy were now driven from the houses lining the beach, by the fire of the Eclair, and the boats then proceeded to bring out the vessels that were secured by various contrivances to the houses and beach, their sails and rudders being mostly removed on shore : sixteen were towed off (as per enclosed list) ; which being accomplished, the marines were re-embarked in the most perfect order, under cover of the fire of the-.Eclair, and without molestation from the enemy, though a strong party was advancing from the town of Alassid to reinforce them. • I regret to state, that our success has been clouded, and our loss on this occasion much ex tended, by an unfortunate accident which oc curred in landing the party ; the America's yawl being sunk by a chance-skot from the only gun that could btar on the boats; and before assist ance could be afforded, I lament to say, ten ma- Tines and one of the crew were drowned. I have great satisfaction in the 'favourable re port I feel it my duty to make of the officers, seamen, and marines employed on this occasion. The gallant and able conduct. of Captain Rca, who commanded the marines, was very conspi cuous ; and he reports in the most favourable manner of Capt. Owen, and Lieuts. Neame, Cock, Cardon, and Hill, and of the - - orderly good con duct of the whole detachment. To Captain Bel lamy I was much indebted for the-handsome man . ner in, which the.Eclair was swept in, and the fire she kept up' to cover and protect the troops and boats during their operations, the ships be ing prevented by the light and balling winds'froin getting cloSe enough to act. The services of the, bores in landing and embarking the troopS, and (being all armed with guns or carranades) assist ing with their fire, and the expedition with which the enemy's vessels Were brought out does much credit to Lieut. Richardson, first of this ship, who had the direction„of them, as also to Lieufs. Moles worth and Moodie, of the America, and Dobbs and Hanibly of the Leviathan, who were employed in them. I cannot conclude without requesting per- MisSion .to rerOmmend to yow' notice Mr, John Harvey, master's mate of•this ship, who has,par titularly distinguished himself both on the 'present and - other late occasionsiof bbat service. .

His .Majesty's sloop Pilot, off Cape SIR, Palinuro, April le, 1810. _ Having observed nine . coastialg vessels of the enemy hauled up, on - the beach .near the town of Policastro, I thought it practicable to take them off by anchoring the Pilot close - to the shore, which was immediately done, and her fire, opened,. to drive away . thearmed force that was collected for their protection, and nearly .at the same mo ment a party of seamen and the marines were landed under the direction of. Lieut. Alexander ,CaMpbell, assisted by Mr. Langlands the acting master, and through their gallantrv.and exertions . above 80 of :the civic militia were obliged to ra.: tire, and were kept in check by the marines. and small arm men, Whilst the vesselS were launched, which was fully accomplished in about font., hours,. notivithstanding they were hauled very high' up, and had been much stove by their crews: They proved to hfeladen with oil, and were from Pezzo, bound to Naples. I have great pleasure in reporting thot no per son belonging . to the Pilot were hurc._ in this-af fair, and which, from the enemy's having kept up almost a constant fire of musquetry from behind trees and hedges, is to be attributed to the able conduct of Mr. Langlands, who had the charge of the people in advance at small arms, and I trust you will make it known to the Rear-Admiral, as be is a yoting man of great merit, and has repeat edly been recommended 'for his conspicuous bravery. • ' , • I have the honour to be Rze.

I this . day,in company with the Pilot, attacked the port of Sapri, defended by . a strong battery and tower mounting two 32-pounders, with an officer and 38 men, which surrendered at discretion, after beino• battered for 2 hours within pistol-shot.; but, in consequence of their gallant defence, I al lowed him to march out with the honours of war, but not to serve against us irr this. expedition. We found 2$ large vessels on the beach:, loaded with oil, .some of them nearly a quarter of a mile in the country—all of which were launched, and -; the battery in ruins, before sun-set. . • I owe much to the support I received from Capt. Nicholas, who flanked the battery in a most judicious manner, .and afterwards commanded - the launching, assisted by my First Lieutenant Alex ander Campbell, an officer of six years standing, as well as Mr. Langlands, Acting Master of the Pilot, who, by his able disposition of the marines who were under his command, (there being•no officer of that corps on board), kept upwards of 2QO armed peasantry in check, 'and had only one man wounded. The firing of both ships' companies was su periorto any .thing I ever saw, and their conduct bn shore was. no less praise -worthy. Neither ship lost men on board : our bowspirt wounded in three places, is the only material iujury we a i ve suffered. I have, &c. •. . (Signed) CHAS. NAPIER. T. F. Freemantle, Esq.

A leetirr has been received from Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, to John Wilson Croker, Esq. dated off Toulon, the 23d of June, stating that small twenty gun ship having escaped into Ciotat, where a new store-ship was - fitting for• sea, an attack was intended to be Made upon the place on the Ist- ult. with a detachment of the marines of his Majesty's squadron. Thi! marines had 'reach ed the point intended at day-break ; but the wind having fallen, and the ships appointed to cover the debarkation, not being able in consequence to enter the bay, without whom it was not intended the marines should land, the latter were recalled without going ashore. His :Majesty's Ship -Kent was unfortunately struck by a chance shot from one of the batteries, by which accident Lieutenant Walton and One seaman were killed ; and three' or four wounded :the only ,cp.sualty on the occasion. Ainzira/ty-Vice, July 21, 1812. Vice-Admiral Sir Edward• Peilcw has trans mitted to John Wilson Croker, Esq. a letter from Captain Hope, of, his Majesty's ship Salsette, giving an. account of • his having; on the 2lst' of April last, captured, and afterwards destroyed La Co►nete,. a French privateer,- of 2 eighteen-pound ,ers and 45 men ; and also -two letters from Lien tenant Charles : Phillips, acting in the co►nmand of the Onyx sloop, , and Lieutenant James J.
