" The details of the battle of Mohringen are as
follow :
" The Marshal Prince of Porte Corvo arrived at
Mohtingen with the division of Drouet, on the 25rsh
of this month, at eleven o'clock in the morning, at
the very moment when the General of Brigade
Pailod was attacked by the enemy.
" The Marshal Prince of Porte Cam ordered
ac immediate attack of the village of Pfarrestelde-
hen, by a battalion of the ninth light infantry. The
village was defended by three Russian battalions,
which wete supported by three others. The Prince
of Porte Corvo caused also two other battalions to
march, to support that of the ninth. The anion
was very sharp. The Eagle of the ninth regiment
of light infantry was taken by the enemy ; but, on
the astieft of the affront with which this brave regi-
ment was on the point of being covered for ever,
and from which, neither viCtory, oar the glory ac-
quited in an hundred combats, would have purified
it ; the soldiers, animated with an inconceivable ar-
dour, precipitated themselves on the enemy, wheat
they routed, and recovered their Eagle.
"In the mean time, the French line, com-
posed of the sth of the line, of the 27th of light in-
fantry, and of the 94th, were formed, and attacked
the Russian line, whicn had taken its position on a
rising ground. The fire of musketry was very
brisk, and at point blank distance.
" At this moment, General Dupont appeared on
the road, with the 32,1 and 9fitli regiments. ED.

Captain Lydiard, of His Majesty's ship the

from Vice• Admiral Dactes, Commander in Chief
of His Majesty's clips and velscls at Jamaica, to
William Marsden, list]. of which the following arc
Copies :
SIR, Shark, Port R.yal, Salt. 11, HILL

I have much satisfaction in congratulating my
I.nrds Coat nissioness of the Adm,ralty on the cap-
ture of the island of Curacoa, on New Year's Day
in the mnrnir.g, by the four frigates ;lamed in the
margin*, under the orders of Captaits Brisbane, of

• Arabia% Latona, *own, a>• riprg•

the Arethusk; a copy of whose I:ttet I inclose for
tlTelr Lyardthips' iuforhatiOn.
Whilst I contemplate the immense i'trengthtlf the
haYbour of Amsterdam, and the superior force
contained in its diUrent batteries opposed to the
entrance of the frigates, I know not how sufficiently
to admire the decision of Captain B.is:Lirie in at-
tempting the harbour, and the determined bravery
and coodufl di-playei by himself, the other three
Captains, and all the Officers and men under his
command; and is intoner strong instance of the cool
and determined bravery of British seamen.

Captain Brisbane being from his situation obliged
to at as Governor, I have, as an acknowledgment
and high approbation of his condua. continued him
in that situation till His 61.:jesty's pleasure shall
be known ; and request, in the strongest manner,
Out their Lordships will be pleased to recommend
him fur that appointment.

Captain Lydiard, who will have the hnnnur of
delivering this, and who fully partouk of the con-
quest, and has before distinguished himself off the
liavannah,3 beg to icier their L •rdships to for
any information. I shall pin an ailing Cap tai:.
into the Anson until his return, or I receive direc-
tions thereon- I am,

His Majesty% ship Arethusa, Cura?ea,
January 1, MI.

SIR.

It is with the most lively and heartfelt satisfalion
I have the honour to inform you, that His Ma.
ry's squadron under my tom:rani has this day
opened the New Year with what I humbly Ratter
myself will Is: deemed An eaterprize of considerable
coastquence to my cou:ltry.
_

I prociyeJed in the execution of your order of the
Ish:vember with every possible avidity, but
the adverse wind and current prevented me from
reaching this island before the let instant. In my
way up I met Captain Bolton, of the Fisgard,
going to Jamaica ; I took him under my ()stint,
acc-irding to your dirraiqns, and proceeded with
the svadrou off this port, having previously re.
solved on that system of attack which British sea-
men are so sapable of executing. My arrange-
ment having been previously made known to the re.
speCtive Captains, I was satisfied nothing further re-
mained for me than to put it in execution. My line
of battle consisted of the Arethusa, Latona, Anson,
and risgard ; and very soon after the break of day,
I made all possible sail with the ships in close order
of battle, passing the whole extentive line of sea
batteries, and anchored the squadron in a stile far
surpassjig my expeaations. Being still desirous of
having the effusion of human blood spared, I
write the inclot.ed, N. 1, on the capstan of His
Majesty's ship Arethusa during the atlien, which
was not regarded, as they did their utmost to destroy
us. Words cannot express the ability of the squa-
dron. The harbour was defended by regular for-
tifications of two tier of guns ; Fort Amsterdam
aline consisting of sixty-six pieces of cannon ; the
entrance only fifty yards wide, athwart which was
the Dutch frigate Ilitslar, of thirty-six guns, and
Stirinam, of twenry-two, with two large schooners
of war, one commanded by a Dutch Commander ;
a chain of forts was on Miselburg commanding
height; and that almost impregnable fortress. Fort
Republique, within the distance of grape-shot, en-
filading the whole harbour.
At a quarter past six o'clock we entered the port ;
a severe and destruelive cannonade ensued ; the
ft i;,iste, sloop, and schooners, were carried by board-
ing; the lower forts, the citadel and town of Am
sterd.m, by storm ; all of which, by seven o'clock,
were in our possession. For humanity sake I
granted the annexed Capitulation; and at ten
o'clock, the British II tg was hoi:ted on Fort Repub-
lique s—the whole island is in our quiet possession.
The strength, commerce, and value, I undetstand,
araimmense, It is now become a pleasing part of
my duty, although impossible to do justice to the
merits. gallantry, and determination of Captains
Wood. Lydiard, and Bolton, who so nobly headel
their respective ships' com?anies to the storm ; and
the same gallantry and determination are due to
the officers, seamen, and Malin's, for following up
so glorious an example. Inclosed is a list of the
killed and wounded in His Majesty's squadron. I
have not yet been able to ascertain that of the enc.
my. except those in the ships. The hatch Commo-
dore was killed early in the aflion, and the Captain
of the SuoiliaM sevsrely wounded I have appoint-
ed, by Proclamation, Wednesday mat, the 7th
instant, for the inhabitants, which amount to thirty
thousand, to take the Oath of Allegiance to our
most grac:aus Sovereign ; those that do not choose,
will be instantly embarked as prisoners of war. For
any farther particulars I mustabig to refer you to
that gallant Officer, Captain Lydiard.
1 have the honour to be, &c.
