PROCEEDINGS OF ADMIRAL SEYMOUR IN

NARVA BAY.
Admiralty, July 2, 1855.
Despatches, of which the following are copies, have
been received from Rear-Admiral the Hon. R. S. Dan-
cing, commander in-chief of her Majesty's ships and
vessels on the Baltic station.

Duke of Wellington, at anchor, Toulhoukin
Lighthouse, W.S.W., 5 miles, June 24, 1855.
Sir,--In my letter of the 18th instant, No. 196, I
reported for the information of the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty, that I had- dire•ted Rear-Ad-
miral Seymour to proceed with het Majesty's ship Ex=
mouth and Blenheim, and with the gunboats Pincher
and Snap, to examine the coast in the' Bay of Narva ;
and I have now the honour to transmit the enclosed
letter which I have received from .the Rear-Admiral,
reporting his proceedings.
I have much pleasure in expressing my satisfaction at
the spirited and judicious manner in which he took occa-
sion to occupy the attention of the troops which were
strongly posted in the neighboirhood, and my sense of
the zealous efforts, of the offie.era and men under his
orders, particularly those in the two gun-boats, which
appear to have" been well handled under a smart fire
from the enemy's batteries.—l have. 4Stc ,

REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS AT NARVA.

Her Majesty's ship Exmouth,
Off Seskar, June 19.
Sir,—ln obedience to your directions of the 15th inst.,
I quitted Seskar anchorage at 8 a.m. on Saturday, the
16th, anchoring at 7 p.m, under East Tyters Island, off
a village situate on its S.S.E. extremity, with a view of
obtaining information respecting the river Narva; but
only succeeded in learning that a considerable body of
troo➢s were about Narva and its vicinity.
Quitting East Tyters on the evening of Sunday, the
17th, Narva Lighthouse was made out yesterday, at 2.30
a.m., with the broad extent of sandy beach that borders
the hay.

Oa nearing the entrance of the river, which is narrow,
and has a bar on which the breaking shoal water was
visible, a considerable number of troops, including a party
of cavalry, were seen in active movement, and a large
caisson or construction of timber was floated and sunk
in the entrance of the river, and became the means of
communication with either side ; a few wood vessels and
river craft only were visible inside the river, the banks
of which are of sand, thickly timbered, and well adapted
for defence by troops. An earth battery of 12 guns lies
on the east side of the river's entrance, and one of 10
guns near the lighthouse, with another in its rear, seen
from the mast-head, apparently to command the river ;
and two other guns were placed in position on the right
extremity of the Lighthouse Battery.
An opportunity was afforded to try the practical effi-
ciency of the gun-boats Pincher and Snap, under the
immediate charge of Capt. Hall, of the Blenheim, who,
with good judgment, added one of his main-deck 68-
pounders to the armament of the former, and until rain
and squally weather interfered, their practice was good,
and their constant change of position rendered them
difficult objects to hit, though the fort guns were well
served, using hot shot, which frequently passed near
and over them.

On the weathericlearing the gun-boats opened fire,
and the Blenheim and Exmouth likewise took an oppor
tunity of a couple of hours' practice, covering the gun-
boats with good effect. which were ably manoeuvred by
Lieutenant C. A. C. De Crespigny, in command of the
Snap, and Lieutenant Steward, in command of the Pin-
cher, in the former of which I had placed Lieutenant
Travers, R.1V1., with ten gunners of the Royal Marine
Artillery of the Exmouth, who did good service. Mr.
Harper, assistant-surgeon of this ship, was likewise on
board the Snap, he having volunteered for that service.
As it was evident, from the first, that no serious at-
tempt could be made on the enemy's position, and as a
large expenditure of ammunition would have been use-
less, I considered that enough had now been done to oc-
cupy the attention of the troops in the neighbourhood,
and no advantage appearing to offer itself for a longer
continuance in 'Narva Bay the signal was made to dis-
continue firing, and I proceeded, in compliance with
your orders, to rejoin your flag.
I enclose a return of a casualty which, I regret to
learn, occurred 'to Capt. Searle, IL M., of the Blenheim,
the effects of which, I trust will not prove serious.
I have, &a.
