them they had no right to such- a guarantee, as the respect
due to it had been so grossly violated at Hauge. I then pro-
ceeded to the barracks and Government stores within the
town, which I destroyed, but did not set fire to them, as by
so doing the whole town must have been burnt.
This precaution was not destined to save Lovisa., for during
the night an accidental fire occurred in a portion of the town
where we had not been,ind before morning the whole place
was reduced to ashes.

I have, &c.,

Rear-Adniral the Hon. R. S. Dundas,

Commander-in-Chief,

Extract of a letter from Rear-Admiral Honourable R. S.
Dundas, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, dated=
Duke of Wellington,
•
Tolboukin Lighthouse, July 7, 1855%
I cannot conclude this letter withcut calling,the particular-
attention of their Lordships to the active'exertions of Capt.
Storey, of her Majesty's ship Harrier, which led a few days
later to the destruction of a large amount of shipping, dis-
covered afterwards in another anchorage near Nystad, as de-
tailed in the enclosure to Captain Warden's-report of the 2d
instant.

Harrier, off Little Wahas, June 24, 1855.

Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the boats of
this ship destroyed 47 Ships belonging to the enemy, varying
from 700 tons to 200 tons, on the nights of the 23d and 24th
instant. •

On the first night the ships destroyed were one mile from
the town of Nystad, and about throe miles from the ship, and
we were enabled to bring one barque, the Victoria, of about
453 tons, off with us.
On the following morning the steam was got up and we
proceeded to sea to 'anchor the prize off Enskov Lighthouse. =j,
At 5 p.m., however; we steamed towards the land and an-
chored at about 7.30 p.m., and at 8 p.m. the boats were
again despatched.
I think, sir, I am only doing common justice to the men
when I state how pleased I was to see the zeal and perseve-
rance with which they worked for so many hours; neither can
I omit stating my belief that this arose in .a,great measure
from the good example of the officers, especially the senior
Lieutenant, Mr. Annesley, from whom I have ever received
the most active assistance.

During the night and following day we discovered 42 ships,
the whole of which we either burned or scuttled.

I have the greatest pleasure in being able to state that
these proceedings were so successfully carried out without any
casualty.
Owing to the distance we got away from the ship (10 or 11
miles) and the blowing neather, accompanied with rain, that
came on (hiring the morning, we were prevented from bring-
ing any vessel out with us.
We did not get back to the ship until after 6 p.m. this
afternoon, the men having been on their oars twenty-two
hours.

Having then, in two following nights and one day, de-
stroyed the whole of the Nystad shipping (prob3.bly upwards
0f,29,000 tons) I trust these proceedings will meet with your
approval. _ . _

I have, ke.,
(Signed) HENRY STOREY, Commander.
Captain Warden, Senior Officer,
her Majesty's Ship Ajar.
