THE SEA OF AZOFF.
ADMIRALTY, JUNE 25.
Despatches, of which the following are copies or ex-
tracts, have been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Ed-
mund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of her
Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean and
Black Sea :

(Enclosure 1.)
ROYAL ALBERT, STRAITS OF KERTCH,
JUNE 6.
Sir,—Captain Lyons, of the Miranda, having informed
me that the squadrons under his orderd would be ready
about the 2d or 3d inst. to commence operations in the
shallow waters of the Gulf of Azoff, vice-Admiral Brunt
and I considered that the moment had arrived for reinforc-
ing them with gun-boats, which would only have embar-
rassed them in their previous rapid Movements in deeper
waters • we therefore detpatched 20 launches c.f the line-of-
battle-strips, armed with 24-pounder howitzers and rockets,
and their Lordships will perceive by Captain Lyons's letter,
of which I have the honour to enclose a copy, that their
arrival on the spot was most opportune, and attended with
the happiest result ; for, under the able management of the
officers who commanded them, they mainly contributed to-
wards the repulse of 3,500 of the enemy, and the destruc-
tion of the public buildings and Government magazines of
provisions at Taganrog.
Captain Lyons's account of the operations is so clear, and
his appreciation of the merits of those acting under his
orders on this important service so just, that I feel that it
would only bo weakened by any observations or recom-
mendations of mine.—l am, &c.,

'E. LYONS,
Rear-Admiral and. Commander-in-Chief.

REPORTS OF PROCEEDINGS AT TAGANROG.
H.M.S. MIRANDA, TAGANROG ROADS,
JUNE 3.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that I anchored
in 18 feet water with the squadron under my orders in Ta-
ganrog inner roads, at about 8i miles from the town, on
the evening of the Ist inst., without,any accident, although
the enemy bad removed the light-vessels and beacons.
During the night an easterly wind sprang lip, and the
water fell three feet, with every appearance of still falling ;
we were, therefore, obliged to remove a mile and a half
further from the town.
2d. The 2d was employed in reconnoitring the town,
which I was enabled to do satisfactorily in the Recruit,P
Lieutenant Day, commanding that vessel, having found a
passage during the night.
I had arranged to proceed at 6 a.m. the following morn•
ing to summon the town, and, in the event of a refusal to
surrender, to endeavour to destroy the immense stores of
grain and other Government property in that place.
' 3. Matters were in this state, when at sunset, to my
great satisfaction, the Sulina, Danube, and Medina, with
the 12 armed launches of the line-of-battle ships, hove in
sight ; this most welcome and opportune reinforcement of
exactly the description of force required for the purpose in
view rendered success certain, and not long after the
French steamers, with launches in tow, arrived.

4. Having concerted measures with M. de Sedaiges,
commanding the French steamers, I proceeded at 3 a.m.
in tho Recruit with the vessels and boats, and accom-
panied by the lightest French steamers (M. de Sediages
being on board one of them), towing their launches.
Having anchored the Recruit at 1,400 yards from the
Mole-head, and collected all the boats astern, I sent Lieu-
tenant Commander Horton with a flag of truce, accom-
panied by a French officer with similar orders from M. de
Sedaiges, to demand the surrender of all Government
property of every description whatsoever, and of all grain,
flour, and provisions (which I considered as contra-
band of war, knowing that, even in the event of its
not being Government property, it could only be
intended for the supply of the Russian army in the
Crimea), the whole to be delivered over to us to
destroy; the troops to remove during this necessary de-
struction to a place five miles from the town, and within
sight of the ships; the inhabitants to withdraw, except
those appointed by the authorities to open the stores and
assist us ; any approach of troops, or any infraction of
these terms, if accepted, to be considered as cancelling
them, and to be punished with instant bombardment ; one
hour to be allowed for a decision, and no modification of
the terms to be entertained. At the expiration of the
hour Lieutenant Horton and the French officer were in-
formed that the Governor refused the terms, and that,
having troops at his disposal, he intended to defend the
place. On this these officers came off, and the flag of
truce was hauled down from the Recruit.
5. Shortly afterwards the Recruit commenced firing,
and the boats proceeded under the command of Comman-
der Cowper P. Coles, of th4Stromboli, in tow cf one ano
ther, and accompanied by the French boats, until, having
arrived in the required position, the tow was cast off', the
boats' heads pulled round to the beach, and BO heavy a
fire opened that, although the enemy made repeated
attempts to get down to the houses lining the beach
to save the long range of storehouses
em destruction,
they they never succeeded in doing so in sufficient numbers.
Lieutenant Mackenzie (the senior Lieutenant of this ship)
had chine of a separate division of boats, With

not to say desperate service, when carried out in a tith‘vn CO

taining upwards of 3,000 troops comets ntty endeav*ringt ty)
the tire of the boats' guns'
was most effectually performed. The ReCruit, from her
light draught of water, was enabled to take an effective
position at 1,400 vartla,.an,l so was the Monetie. French
steamer, and the Danube, with 24-pounder howitzer and
rockets, was.very useful.
6. By 3 p.m. all the long ranges of stores of grain, plank,
and tar, 'nd the-vessels-as-the -steaks-- were ia-a-blaze, as
well as the Custom-house =tether Government buildings,
and nnfortttnately, but unavoidably, the town in many
places; and, our purpose being amply effected, the boats
returned to the Repruit. The loss of the enemy in men
must have been severe, as many wore seen to fall. They
d, serve credit for the obstinacy with which they endea-
voured to gain positions to prevent our effecting the object
we had in view, but it -was impossible, to face the con-
tinuous and yell-directed fire kept up. Their loss in grain
of different descriptions I cannot estimate, but, as it com-
prises all, or very nearly all, in stoie at Taganrog, it must
be enormous.

7. The only casualty in carrying out this service was one
private of the Royal Marine Artillery severely wounded in
the face by a musket ball.
8. I must now bog to be allowed to bring to your notice
the very meritorious conduct of Commander Coles on this
occasion, in command ()bile large a force of boats.; and I
cannot speak to highly of his energy, decision, and ability,
which left me nothing to desire. He speaks in the highest
terms of all under his.orders, and particularly of Lieut. J.
P. C. Mackenzie, in charge of a separate division, who be-
'laved with his accustothed spirit and judgment ; and of
Lieut., Buckley, who so well carried out the hazardous
service he had voinnteered for. All the officers and men
employed conducted -themselves to my entire satisfaction,
but, as those above-mentioned. were in such zonepicuons
situations, I trust I may be pardoned for'slibmitting their
names to.your favourable consideration.
9.. I cannot refrain from bearing my testimony to the
admirable conduct and cordial co-operation of our allies,
under themenal direction of M. de Sedaiges, the beats
being under the immediate
command of M. Lejenue, Capi-
taine de Fregate, and First Aide to Admiral
• do-Camp
Brunt.
10. A Russian sergeant, who deserted
and crave himself
up to a French boat, states the number of troops in the
.town to have been:3,2oo, of which 8-..10 arrived last night.
11. A Russian aver schooner, which had been ran on
shore near the town and abandoned, was set fire to and
burnt, and so was a large raft of timber. The wreck of a
large vessel (a sort of guardship) which we observed to be
fired.by the.enemy, and blown up on our first appearance
in Taganrog Roto.ls, was visited, but was found to be al-
ready effectually destroyed.
• Many large buildings had the black flag hoisted,
sign, I presume, of their being hospitals ; these were
most
carefully respected by us, as were the churches, and, ELs
far
as possible,_priv.ate.houses.—l have, &c.,

EVACITT,ION OF ANAPA,
ROYAL ALBERT, STRAITS OF KERTCH, JUNE 11.
Sir,—My telegraphic message of yesterday, of which I
have had the honour to enclose a copy, will have informed
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that Admiral
Bruat and I had received intelligence of Anapa having
been evacuated by the enemy on the sth inst.
2. I have now the honour to enclose a copy of a report
which has just reached me from Rear-Admiral Stewart,
whom I sent to Anapa to act in concert with Rear-Admi-
ral Charner, to prevent the possibility of the place being
occupied by a Russian force, leaving the political part of
the question in the hands of Mr. Longworth. the agent of
her Majesty's Government, whom I tient to the spot in the
Highflyer a few hours before Rear-Admiral Stewart left
this anchorage.—l am, &c.,

HANNIBAL, AT ANAPA, JUNE 11.
Sir,—ln pursuance of your orders of yesterday's date I
have the honour to inform you thl.t I arrived at this an-
chorage at 10 a.m. to-day ; Rear-Admiral Charner did not
arrive till about 1 p.m., Admiral Bruat having last night
informed me that he would be detained, and requested me
not to wait for the Napoleon.
I enclose a return of the guns, by far the greater part of
which have been rendered quite useless by the Russians
themselves; the remainder am being made unserviceable
or thrown over the cliffs, under the direction of Lieut.
Arthur, the gunnery officer of this ship.
The Russians have exploded nearly all the powder ma-

gazines in the place, and those which remain are empty.
Tho barracks were burnt by the Russians, as also a good
number of buildings, and all the coal and grain, which ap.
pear to have been in considerable quantities.
The garrison is estimated by the Circassians at between
7,000 and 8,000, and they retired on the Kuban River,
which they crossed by a bridge, destroying the latter
behind them.—l have, &c., •
