Soon afterw2rds the Iris joined to leewai d, I w
the whole party, accompanied by the maii es of the
two frigates (under the command of Lieutenant
CUPPLE,S) pushed off for the river Mundaca, where
a landing was effected about two miles from Bermeo,
the object of our attack.
The French guard, stationed in the town of
Mundaca, evacuated it immediately.
The frigates advancing with a light breeze to-
wards the. town or Berme°, while the party which
had landed appeared in the bills turning the ene-
. my's right, gave Lim bdt little time to hesitate,
and Monsieur DEDIEtt, the Commandant, took the
short, though rugged road, over the mountains for
Bilboa.
The nett morning at day-break, Mr. Krwonom,
Master's-mate, was dispatched to blow up the
guard-house and destroy the signal station on the
heights of Machiehaco, which service he executed
perfectly.
In the course of the day every. thing that could
be ascertained to be public property belonging to
the French, was either brought off or destroyed, the
guard-house, store-house, and stabling on the hill
blown up and burnt, and *its battery, consisting of
four eighteen-pounders, destroyed, and the guns
broken, the gunpowder given to PASTOR, and shot
thrown into the sea ; two other small batteries, cOrfl•
manding the high road and mole-head, sharing the
safate.
'll4 utmost possible annoyance having been given
•
to the enemy, and all the vessels brought out from

the mole, the marines and guerillas were re-em.
.barked ; and this morning I dispatched the latter,
under proteci.ion of the II is, to I:'.nd at a spot agreed
upon with PASTOR, remaining here myself until 1
have adjusted the claims of several Spaniards re.
specting their vessel,
I have the satisfaction to state, that yesterday a
small division of fifty men, dispatched from Bilboa
to succour the garrison, approached the town, and
were met by the advanced guerilla guard, of trifling
numerical superiority, and immediately put to
flight : tome few of the enemy were killed, though
only one prisoner was brought in, who ow es his
life to his having fallen into the hands of a gue-
rilla recruit.
I have only to add, that the most perfect cordi-
ality prevailed among our men and the Spaniards ;
that no loss whotever was sustained by us ; and that
the steady cpnduct of Lieutenant CUPPLES, the
Officers, and Royal Marines, would have decided
the business of the day, had the enemy given them
the meeting; and I feel considerable obligation to
my First Lieutenant 0' REILLY, and the Officers and
crews of both ships. I have the honour to be, &c,,
