In the mean time the gun boats on the south side, which had been much galled by the fire of Fort Yorke and Massareene 'Battery, got under weigh, and stood to the westward, tied the column of the enemy which had ad.:weed on the south side, finding their retreat no longer covered by the flotilla, also hung out a flag of truce, and I sent out an officer/to meet it. I was asked to surren der ; the reply that I returned it, is unnecessary to mentiun.. The enemy finding my determination, sought permission to embark without molestation ; but 1 .would listen to nothing but an unconditional submission, and l have the pleasure to inform you, that this corps also laid down their arms, "and sur rendered themselves prisoners of war. The prisoners, which were now more numerous than my small garrison, were 1,10 sooner secured, than operations were commenced against the re serve, which had been seen retreating to the west ward of the island. _ I took the field with Major Torrent (who though wounded insisted on accompany ieg me) and Lieute nant and Adjutant Steele ; but as our prisoners were so nritnerous, and as we had no place of se curity in which to place them,' I could only employ ern this o ccasion .the brigade of howitzers under Lietitenants R. C. Steele and Bezant'of the Royal Marine Artillery, and part; of the light Company commanthril by Lieutenant Turnbull. 'When we arrived at she west end of the island, we found that the enemy had harmed on the beach, aud were protected by fourteen gon.boais towed close to the shore ; to attack such a force, with lour howitzers and forty moo,' seemed a oseless- sacrifice of brave taco's In cs ; I ilitrethre, with the avice of Mijor •Tortent, halted on the hills, while I re . luaantly saw the itherVe embanked under cover of the gun•hoats, and, the flotilla took • a final leave of the island. I ash happy to say our loss has not been so consi derable as might, have been expeCted, ftorn so despe rate an attack, we having only. two killed and thirty, ,wounded. enemy have suffered severe. ; we have buried between thirty and forty of their dead, and we have , received in the hospital men . tyethree of their wounded, most of them have undergone amputation, three since dad of their wounds, besides a great outliner which they car ried off the field to, their boats.

To LicUlenal , t Baker, next in cumin sail, who will have the honour of eleliverieg.theidkoltet, and will give you every in. formatieo you may requite, I am much indebted ; his merit and zeal as an officer, which I hose SWIM years been a, (olluted with, and his volunteering with me on this service, claim my warmest ra,teent. Captain Torrent, the senior officer of Royal Ma rine*, sled woo ailed as commandant of the garri son, bore-a conspienoos part on this day, and al. though woutided, I did not lose his valuable set - vice anti able support.

The wind being from the we.tward, I had the morthying live to run ten or elevun miles to ,lieworti io get round the yeef extending urn the east slid of the island, or to trat up ti still greater• distance to writ. Cher that branchiug out fiurn its North West point. Bin considering that ihe knowledge of the fiigate being near to the Island (of which they were hi therto ignorant) would wake a considerable impres.

I maths a sign nil to the Si:Writhe to keep on the Non fi' side 01 the Wand, Captain Matirke having signified by tele graph that she would tie tier videable there.

The Sheldrake, however, was nappily placed in the way of that division nt them which endeavouted capelowards the Coast of Sweden. I beg leave to enclose a copy of Captain Stewart's letter tome, stating the capture of two of them ; and I cannot sufficiently praise the ,intrepidity and with which Le attacked a force so superior to Ins own. Those which I pursued separated in dif• ferent courses; three of the largest steered for'the Island of Nessus, and 1 followed them; but they , had gained so much the start of me, that they. were not within reach or my guns when night come on, and'we found ourselves in shoal water, on the flat extending so the southward of that Island, and were obliged to, haul. off, 1 afterwards- captured, two of their transports- which I had. passed during the Chact of the gun -boats; one of • them had twenty.two soldiers on board, with a considerable guantit'y of ammunition, shells, ecc.; the other contained pro- Visions.

In idwilience to your signal yesterday to keep on the North side ot the IsLind, my attention was par ticularly accts led iu preventing the escape of the, enemy's to Ice vvard, hoping by so doing I aniiepated your wi-hes. At two P. M. observing the Tartar to windward • of the Island , and the g•ov-ho endeavoering to push through the passage inside the reef; I endca %toured to pt ice myself in such a situation as' to mess .them, or muter an atlion utiavohlable. About four P.M. - we d sed within long range of sit a r, their force consisting of ,sixteen gun-boats and armed ves sels, in close and compatt order, formed in line, steering down with the apparent determination ot supporting each other; but they, finding us equally detertuined to bring'them to close action, began to disperse juts when we were in hopes of placing ourselves in such a situation tts must have annihi lated the whole of theta in a short time. How ever, as five of them be l t in one direction, 1 kept after them, and. have the pleasure. to inform you, we brought them to close action at half-past lour, when one of them, No; 9, imMediateiy struck ; she mounts two long 'eighteen pounders, and tour brass howitzers, sixty-five men, and commanded by a Lieutenant of repute in the D mish —lmmediately the prisoners were on board, we made all sail after the largest lugger, which I atn also :appy to ioform you, we captured ab: , ut eight : P.M. after t xehanging a few shut. She proved to he a gi,u-vessel, No. t, mounting two long twelity•lour pounders, and four brass howl; zers, complteneut ot sev..tity wren, only sixty of Whom we I , end on board ; front the number ot shot she received, I am convinced.she must hive lost many ot her crew : her Commander is also a Lieutenant iu the D troTh navy. ' l'in extremely rejoiced lb say we have no person hurt ; our sails mind tiggiug being a litCe cut, and a few grape-shot iu the hull, is the eN:terit ot (Alt &Midge.

The enemy suffered amen 'owe in the affair of lba 15t1i than 1 was aware of, When 1 addressed }ou on the IGth instant; the firing was not' over till dark, and it appears thit weal tittitibers were drown ed in aitenipting to ford the Ceira. The enemy with his mear guard from that river in the course of the itith, alki we ciosse4 it on the 171 h, and had our pails on the Sierra de Motet:lla ; the enemy's. army being in a Strong pu. sitiun on the right:of the Alm They moved a part of their army on that night, but still maintain. ed their position on the Alva, of river they destroyed' the - biidges. We turned their left by the Sierra de, Santa Quiteria wnh the ad; ist, arid bth divisors on the 18th, while the light division and the Oh manceuvred in their front !torn the Sierra de Murcelta ; these movements induced the . enemy to tiring back to the Sierra de Moita the troops which had marched the, preceding night, at the same time that they retired their corps 'froth the Alva, and in the evening their whole army were assembled upon Aloha, and the advanced posts of our right were neer Arganil, those of Our left across the Alva. The enemy retired from the position of Moita in the night of the 18th,, and have continued their retreat with the utmost rapidity ever since; and I imagine their rear guard will be at Celortco this day, We assembled the army upon the Sierra de Mnita on the toth, and atteadVanced posts are this day beyond Pinbancos. The militia under Colonels *Wilson and Traitt, are at int nos. We have taken great numbers of prisoners,, and the enemy have continued to destroy their carriages arid their cannon, and whatever would impede their progress. As the greatest number of the prisoners taken on the I tith h.ttl been sent out on foraging parties to ward, the Mondego, and had been ordered 10 re !tun to their position on the Alva I conclude that the enemy had intended to remain m it for some clays, .• Soolt has gone to Seville,siore th e fall of tatiejos, and it is reported, that about three tootts3nd Fiend) troops had been seen on their march through 13area rota 16 the Southward.
