The 16th our fire commems.„ tne eversiihr,lhe windmill, a
. strong round tower, wa °copied. Our works were approached
on different points, and the posts the enemy occupied it) advance
were takes), except theSchanza. A company ot Croats get owew
sion of a wood, three hundred yards from lie ramparts front
whence, during the rest of the siege, they, very mach anssayed
. enemy at his guns. On the -2311 the Seloinza was taken,. ready
owing to the courage awl excAsons of Captain Rowley. Three
batteries, fir eighteen and thirty-two pounders, were immediately
• begun, and Captain ltereLtil opened a trench, which formed a first
parallel, at the distance of four hundred yards. A mortar battery
was built near the Schanza. and 'one for howitze, in the prolonga-
tion of the attack in front Captain Rains occupied, with two
mortars, a battery in the rear, which threw with great effect.
As
soon as these batteries were ready, the enemy capitulated.
The labour of all these works were incredible. owing to the soft
ground occasioned by the continual rains, and the lire of the enemy ;
nad nothing but the extramtlinary exertions of the men, and the
perfect le trmony, which prevailed, could have overcome the ditti-
cul ties. The officers, seamen, and marines, of the British squadron,
par ly exerted themselves, and were animated by the pre- I
sense of the Admiral, who himself saperintended the works and di-
rcrted
the batteries.

Of the British land troops, 'the Calabrese had the most
t►i'V to distinguish themselves. Captain Roma, a brave officer.
w as wounded ; after which. the commamtdevolved upon Lieutenant
Butler, who skewed bravery and activity. Colonel Robertt'on was
&stilled for the t ight of Attack, -it' it had been continued. Lieute-
nant Rains, of the Royal Artillery, directed the fire of the mor-
tars, with great etlect and intelligence. Captain Angelo, of the
tl'lst regiment, who was with me during tilt operations that pie-
ceded the siege, has rendered very essential service.
Captain Iterenstil, cif the Italian Leiy, acted as engineer, and
deserves to be mtist particularly recommended ; he was continually
in the trenches without being relieved. The fitll of the castle of '
Trieste clo!es one most important part of our operations, and
gives us the possession of the coast from Dalmatia to the top ot the
Adriatic, with all the roads that lead from thence.
The whole oil the operations prove how, by the mutual assist-
Juice of the army and navy, a very superior force will be at length
overcome. I always found Admiral 1.-Wemantle in readiness. to sup-
port me ; and, by the confidence which that gave me, I was ena-
. bled to undertake operations, which otherwise would have been de-
structive. It was this that allowed me to act in rear ot the enemy,
and give up frequently my land communication, convinced that it
would soon be opened arain.
As to the siege of the ea.tle of Trieste, your Lovdship will per-
ceive, by the above, that the greatest part of.the must be .gi-
ven to Admiral Freemantle and the navy, and it is my duty to ac-
knowledge it.
The result of this first part of tie campaign is, that besides the
killed and wounded in the different actions, the enemy has sustain-
ed a loss in prisoner., which is greater!than the number of troops I
commaud.-I.have the honocr to be, &e.
