ANNEXED DOCUMENT.

Report of M. P4terson, Burgomaster of the town of
Raumo, to Major• General de Wendt.
" I have the honour to inform your Excellency that at
2 o'clock in the morning of the 2d July, an enemy's ship
was seen at a distance of two miles coming towards the
town. I immediately gave note to Capt. Karlstedt, who
had come here on the 21st June with a detachment of
soldiers for the protection of Raumo. Capt. Karlstedt
marched to the port, and posted his soldiers in military
positions. At 4in the afternoon there arrived in the port
four enemy's boats fully equipped and with cannon, pre-
ceded bya fifth boat with a flag of truce. Having gene to
meet them about 400 paces from the shore, I was surround-
ed by them—they were English. They asked me whether
there were any troops in the neighbourhood. The pilot,
Granlund, who accompanied, and who spoke English, told
them that I had. no right to answer such a question.
The enemy then required that the inhabitants should
give up everything connected with shipping, drawing at
the same time on a sheet of paper, sails, ropes, and masts,
and adding that if these objects were not given to them
they would burn the town. I replied that it was impos-
sible to do what they required. The English then de-
clared that all the shipping in the port belonged to them,
and that we might retire. At the same time they ad-
vanced towards the nearest vessel, preparing to go on
board. At that moment Captain Karlstedt gave orders
to fire. A general fusilade followed, and we had some
difficulty in reaching the shore. Two vessels which
were in the port were set fire to by the shells from the
enemy's ship and were completely destroyed. The burn-
ing of the forest was soon extinguished, and the enemy's
guns did not reach the town. As soon as I landed I
went to the town and ordered the fire-engines to be got
ready and supplied with water.

"We had no one killed. As to the enemy, Captain
Karlstedt—who was all the time under actual fire—
states that they must have lost at least 50 men in the
boats. After three hours' bombardment with 98-pound-
ers, the enemy's ship put out to sea.

"A more detailed report will be shortly presented.—
Raumo, July 2, 1855."
