ADMIRALTY, JULY 16.

Despatches, of which the following are copies or extracts,
have been this day received from Rear-Admiral the Hon. R.
S. Dundas, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and
vessels in the

Duke of Wellington,
Tolboukin Lighthouse, July 7, 1855.

" The Magicienno returned this morning from Lovisa,
and I annex a report which I have received from Captain
Yelverton, of her Majesty's ship Arrogant, who has
been again successful in destroying a well- constructed fort at
Svartholm; in the entrance of the Bay of Lovisa, but their
lordships will observe with regret, that, notwithstanding
the humane desire of that officer, the town of Lovisa was un-
fortunately destroyed by fire, which occurred accidentally on
the night following the visit of her Majesty's ships. Captain
Vansittart informs me that the authorities of the town have
themselves admitted and explained the accidental origin of
the fire."

Her Majesty's ship Arrogant, off Hogland,
July 8, 1855.
Sir,-1 have the honour to inform you that I reached
Lovisa on the afternoon of the 4th instant, and anchored the
vessels close to Fort Svartholm.

The enemy must have had intelligence of our movements
and quitted the fort on our approach, for they had been at
work but a few days before inroofing, the barracks and taking
away stores. The guns and ammunition had been preionsly
removed.

Svartholm was in good condition, and a work, of great
strength, entirely commanding the approaches to Lovisa ; it
has had important additions of late years, can mount 122
guns, and had ac2omrnodation in casemated barracks for
about 1,000 men, with governor's house and garden, and ex-
cellent officers' quarters. I made immediate arrangements
for blowing up the fort and completely destroying the bar-
racks ; these have since been fully carried ont.
On the sth, I made a reconnaissance of the town of Lovisa,
in the Ruby, accompanied by the boats of the Arrogant and
Mag,icienne. A strong detachment of Cossacks made their
appearance at one time, but they were dispersed by the fire
from the boats, the rockets particularly throwing them
into great confusion. On landing at Lovisa, they sent for
the authorities and explained the object of my visit; some
demur was caused by our not having a flag of truce. I told
them they had no right to such a guarantee, as the respect
due to it had been so grossly violated at Hango. 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, and before morning the whole place
was reduced to ashes.

(Signed) H. R. YELVERTON, Captain,
Rear-Admiral the Hon. R. S. Dundas,
Commander-la-Chief.

Extract of a letter from Rear-Admiral Honourable R. S.
Dundas, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, dated—
Duke of Wellington,
Tolboukiu Lighthouse, July 7, 1855.
I cannot conclude this letter without calling the particular
attention of their Lordships to the active exertions of Capt.
Storey, of her Majesty's ship Harmer, which led a few days
later to the destruction of a largo amount of shipping, dis-
covered afterwards in another anchorage near Nystad, as de-
tailed in the enclosure to Captain Wardeu's report-of the 2d
instant.

Harrier, off Little Wahas, Juno 24, 1E55:
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 three miles from the ship, and
we were enabled to bring one barque, the Victoria, of about
450 tons, off with us.
On the following morning the 4team was got up and we
proceeded. to sea to anchor the prize off Enskov Linthouse.
At 5 p.m., however, we steamedtowards the 1:1,1,1 :in••
choral at about 7.30 p.m., and at 8 p.m. the
agtin despatched.
I think, sir, I am only doing common justice to the men
when I state how pleased I wag to seo tho zeal and perseve.

Lie vLenant, Mr. Annesley, from whom I have ever received
the most active assistance.
