of the Nth of 'art month, elated the principal rem-

determine upon :Attu-king the enemy in the I gland
of St. Mount, I have now the patoifiction to in-

Immediately this measure am rebolved ilium, I
sailed from Cephalonia to colt et the ripaidron, aid
directed Captain Griffiths, of the Leonidas, to croiz►
to the northward of St. Mauls, in order to prevent
any supplies or reinforcements being sent from
Corfu, a service which was most effectually per-
formed.
On the 18th of March we were all assembled at
Zante. but the Montagu. in working into the road,
through the ignorance of her pilot, got upon a shoal,
and knock►d her rudder oft; by which unfortunate
■evident she was preven'ed from accompanying ii,.
The troops which she was intended to take being
divided among.t the oilier ships, as olio her marines.
under the command of Captain Snow, and the Ge-
neral having done me the honour to embark on
hoard the hlaginficent, I sailed with the Belle
Pottle, Imogen, three gun-boats, and lire transports,
early on the morning of the girt, and arrived at Si.
Maura the same evening. I gave directions to Cap-
tain Stephens, of the luiugen, to anchor as cline to
the shore as passible, taking the gun-boats with
Min. in order to cover the lauding of the troops. snit
to silence two small haueries which were situated
near the landing-place.
The disemhatkation began at day...break the fol-
lowing morning, and was very expeditiously effect-
ed under the immediate directio.i of Captain Bris-
bane. The marines belonging to the Magoincent,

taro Brisbane, who was with toe, ever 411,6..011$ to
rewier himself of Hie, tolonteere .1 to take any or-
ders to the Leonidas, and 1 therefore sent direc-
tions by him to Captain Griffiths to incline a. near
to the redoubt MS possible, and cannonade it, which
was executed with his usual proinplitude. The
troops, at tile mime tiaie, with the General at their
head, advanced under a very heavy tire of grape
and ultimo...try to the assault, drove the enemy
from his neirenchnienos at the point of the bayonet,
and followed him ito close, that he had not tone
to rally at the second redoubt, but tied throe gh
it without stoppin7, and was porsittil close to the
walls of the citadel. The acquisition of these
posts, winch. from that moment we retained pos.
session of, was of the greatest importance to the fu-
lure
operot•
Being myself wounded in the head, I was tinder
the necessity, for a few days, of giving up the naval
•arraogements to Ceptaiu Brialiane, to whose aealous
ardour. whatever service he is employed upon, it is
impossible for toe to da sittileieut justice.
Ou the Riding myself able to give all such
directions as could he oesessory for the service
going forward, and that it was very essential to in-
crease the force mu the itoethern stile of the island,
dirrwr.l Clown Brisbane to proceed there in the
Belle Poole, taking with him the linogen and gnu-
boats.

Captain Stephens had been wounded in the foot
at the storming of the redniilits, lint too zealous
to allow it to interfere with his personal exertions,
am story to say that he still suffers froin it very
con•i terstiy.
Ten of the Magnificent's guns were landed, and
one hundred and fifty seamen, under the command
of Lieutenant A.dley, whose assiduous attention
and at•tiv.tr. mum twrforming every duty entrusted to
him, toe General speaks of in strong terms of ap-
pronation.
Oct the SO•h the Mont,gu joined me. Captain
Mewbray, by the greatest exertions, had re-hung
his rudder at Zinte, and lost not a moment after-
wards iu following us. On her arrival tau of her
lower-deck guns were landed, and orw hundred of
her seamen, to do duty on shore. I at the same
time directed Captain Nlon bray to superintend all
the operations that were going !inward. that to,
as.istance which the ►hips could give might he
omitted.

On the 7th of April I left the transports under
the care of the Montagu, and pr .seeded co the op-
posite side of the island, *here our batteries opened
MP loitering conyuing, The seamen of the Meg-
nilicent, in coaserluence of the ship going to sea,
were with& iwn from the shore, and an additional
number sent from the Montagu, the whole being
then !infer the couirstond of Lieutenant Lyrists of
that ally.
The only way that the citadel could be ap-
prosclivd with cannon being by a narrow neck of
Land, and which i< composed principolly of a loose
gravel thrown up by the sea, the difficulties in
erecting our batteries had been very great, box the
arduut and energies of the soldiers and sailors,
animated iii every danger and every fatigue by the
contintril presence of General Oswald, rose in pro-
portion as the obstacles presented themselves.

Captains Brisbane old Griffiths, with the Mas-
ters of their ships, took great pains to sound about
the citadel, but it was found impracticable to carry•
the ships nearer then a mile. .On the sth the
Kluge'sher joined from Malta, and information
harm; hero received that the enemy had made
gre.it preparations at Corfu and Paige, to throw in
supplies to St. Manna, I directed Capt. Tritton to
keep under weigh at a short distance in the offing,
and Capt. Stephen* to anchor in the linogen. just
out of gun-shut of the enemy's works. The vigilant
attention paid by those officers to that important
piece of duty is highly creditable to them, aud I he-
bese not a boat made it. way. The citadel kept
up a spirited fire till the night of the 15th, when a
detachment of troops. wader the command of Col.
Moor, drove the enemy from $4ll advanced ihtrench-
meui, and lodged itself in their place. A very
heavy tire of grape will musketry continued for
many hours, hut she enemy, finding that the British
troops were immoveable, and that his own men
were picked off in the embrazines, he sent a flag
of truce to propose terms of capitulation. Captain
Mowbray end Colonel Lowe were authorised by
the General and myself to treat with the Goveroor,
and in a short time the terms which I have the ho.
none to inclose were agreed upon, and that night
the gates put into our possession.
It is a great pleasure to me, Sir, to represent to
you the flattering terms in which the General speaks
of the uninterrnpied good cooirloct of the seamen
and minims employed on shore during this siege.

Bey, Mtn 46, Hi
beg leure to inioriu you. that having
chimed several of the enemy's vessels ihto the Bay of
Agaje, which is protectaxl by two betteriev, one on
'each side the entrance, I determitied, alter P g.curl
recommit •c. to attempt carrying them by storm, es
their height sate them too great an advantage over
the ship.
Our the aig:.i of the 2,2 d two strong parties were
landed ; and thu ore on the right of the bay having
to tusreh through a very thick wood, to ;ret to the
rear of the Fon, we attacked in the midst of it
by one cf the enemy's p. nets, when the marines,
under the command of Lieutenants Lloyd and Haw.,
key, opened a fire that very soon dislodged them ;
but, unfortunatelv, the guide tak•tig advantage of
the tiring, went off and left the party, which Corn•
pelted Mr. Wilson, the senior Lieutenant. to relies.
quish the enterprise, and to re-embails the people.
which, l am happy to my, he effected without the
smallest loos.
The party on the left, under the cot:ritual of
Mr. Henry Bell, the Master, were so fortunate as
to get close in the rear of their battery undiscoyer-
ed, which they attacked and carried in the most
'spirited manner, spiked the guns, 2 twenty-fonts;
broke their carriages, destroyed the magazines, and
threw the shot into the sea ; but as the other aide
had failed, were obliged to come off without any of
the 'Jewels; which we continued to watch, awl find-
ing they would not move whilst we kept cline io I
last night sent the barge and yawl under Mr.
accompanied by Mr. Day, master's-mate, and Mr.
Adair, midshipmen, to he in a little cove as had
discovered near the harbour's mouth, whilst the
ship stood some distance in the offing. The French-
men. though so noted for cunning. swallowed.the
bait, and c.rne out this morning quite boldly. You
may conceive, Sir, their astonishment, when our
two boats, armed with a Id pound carramade, and
4-pound field-piece, mule their unexpected appear-
ance :Amongst them ; they captured four feluccas,
two of which were armed, one with six and the
other four guar, besides small arms; drove two
!anon the rocks, and the rest back into the harbour,
though completely exposed to the fire of the bet.
teries, a great number of soldiers on the beach, and
two armed vessels besides those taken, that were in
the convoy. Mr. Bell speaks in the highest com-
mendation of every one with him; and states that
after he and Mr. Day had board zsi and carried the
vessels, Mr. Adair, with only two or three men in
the bsrge, mode such excellent use of the carro-
node, that their retreat was covered, and the prizes
brought out witheut a man being hurt on our side,
which made their success doubly gratifjiug.
I have the honour to be. &I\

Sta--1 beg leave toot:quaint you, that on the dth
instant, while running along the coast of Calabria,
at one p. is. and abreast of Castiglione, t observed
three vessels on the beach, and meat loading them.
I thought it an object worth while to attempt their
destruction, as they appeared to me capable of car-
eying one hundred and fifty men each ; I immedi-
ately dispatched the boats of this ship (with volun-
teers), under the command of Mr. George Hose
&dorms, the third Lieutenant, accompanied by
the boats of the Espoir, under the cuuunatul of
Lieutenant Robert Oliver, the Success autl Espoir
covering their landing. •
I am sorry to say, that when about musket-shot
from the shore, three boats swamped, ha %lug struck
on a sunken reef, by which misfortune two seamen
belougsng to the Espoir were drowiii•it : all their
ammunition being wet, the officers and men swam
to the beach with cutlasses in their months, when
the enemy flred upon them from t»u long six-
poundere, uul roar wall-pieces; they bring secret-
- led behind the rocks, were not perceived until the
boats grounded.
The enemy's fire served only to increase the zeal
of the party, amid their perseverance so intimidated
- the enemy, that they deserted their guns, and re-
treated to the houses which were near, keeping
up as heavy fire of tonsketry from the windows ;
but hieing alts •dislodged from them, they fled to tMe
mountains.
The guns were spiked, carriages destroyed, two
vessels set on tire, their cargoes (which consisted
of oil) stove; when they with difficulty lamming'

•
the boats that were swamped. and returned ou
board.
Lieutenant Sartorius speaks in the highest terms
of all the petty officers, seamen, and royal marines
under his orders, particularly of the conduct of
Lieutenant Oliver, Mr. George Lewis Coates,
uuster's mate of the F...pqir, and Mr. Richard
Nor, master's mate of this ship. With concern 1
