Sir,—The day I closed my. last report to you, the Beagle,
Lieutenant 'Efewett---waedetached to Berdiansk. --- --
f
Lieutenant Hewett rejoined.me yesterday, and reports,
that one of the Russian sunken vessels was blown up.
Lieutenant- Fiewett,-the seine evening; landed undercover
of ,his vessel's guns,,and- -destroyed- an extensive cone°.
tion -of fish stores, and two largegranarieS full of,corn. .
On the 17th of July, in:consequence inforuiation;re-
ceived of extensive depots of corn *art-forage'existing at :a
town called Glofira; upon the -Asiatic coast,: near Gheislr,
Lproceeded there-with theiquadFotOiCcompanied by the
French Steamers Milan 'and Meuette.:. The Vesuvius and
Swallow were obliged to-anchor' soil e distance o ; s ore,
therefore ,sent Comtnander Rowley :Lambert (her--Ma-
jeity's -ship Curlew);_ "With the gun-boats named iu the
:margins to reconnoitrer in fort-e, end it an opportunity,
curred, to destroy anrato roe pf proyisions or:4forage, jai
'Was to d 6 Oommander'Larnbeit found,Glafira and its
,nets beurhood swarming with ca,valry ';"the town.an open
etraggling agricultural village, and no appearance
tof corn- or forage --in: it'; he therefore very properly
confined his operations to destroying, upon Olofira Spit,
some very extensive corn and fish stores, but spared the
town. The skill with which this service was executed in
the face of large bodies of cavalry, reflects no small credit
upon Commander Lambert; and he speaks most highly of
the able assistance rendered him by the French officers and
men under Captains De Cintre and L'.Allernand.
From Glofira I next proceeded to the Crooked Spit,'in
the Gulf of Azof, the French squadron parting company to
harass the enemy in the neighbourhood of Kamisheva and
Obitotchna. - -
The squadron reached Crooked Spit the same day (July
18); and I immediately ordered Commander Frederick
Craufurd, in the Swallow, supported by the gun-boats
Grinder, Boxer, and Cracker, and the boats of her
Majesty's ships Vesuvius, Curlew, and Fancy, under
Lieutenants Grylls, Rowley, and Sulivan, to proceed
and clear the spit of the cavalry and Cossacks of the
enemy, and then land and destroy the great fishing
establishments situated upon it. Commander Oran-
ford executed this service with great vigour,
and his report I have the honour to enclose. The extra-
ordinary quantity of nets and stores of fish, and the scale
of the works destroyed fully confirm the statements made
by the work people that their occupation consisted in sup-
plying food to the army in the Critters, everything going
to Simpheropol by the great
_northern road along the
steppe. Whilst this service was being executed I recon-
noitred the mouth of the river Mious, fifteen miles west of
Taganrog, in her Majesty's ship Jasper, Lieutenant J. S.
Fludson. The shallow nature of the coast would not allow
us to approach within a mile and three quarters of what
in the chart is marked as Fort Tenaenos. The fortification
'.vas an earthwork of some extent and ditched but not
pierced for guns. It was evidently of an old date, and as
I could see no one within it, I again returned to the same
place, accompanied by the boats of her Majesty's ships
Vesuvius and Curlew, and her Majesty's gun-vessels,
Cracker, Boxer, and Jasper.
Cavalry in large bodies, armed for the most part with
carbines or rifles, were evidently much ,harassed by riding
upon supposed points of attack; and when we got to Fort
l'enionos, and the usual Cossack picquet had been driven
off, I and Commander. Lambert proceeded at once with
the light boats into the river. When there, and imme-
diately under Fort Temonors; which stands upon a steep
escarpe of eighty feet, we found ourselves looked down
upon by a large body of both horse and foot, lining the
ditch and parapet of the work. Landing on the opposite
bank, at good rifid-shot distance, one boat's crow, under
Lieutenant Rowley, was -sent to -destroy a collection of
launches and a fishery, whilst a careful and steady fire of
Miele-rifles kept the Russians from advancing upon us.
Assuring ourselves of the non-existence of any object
worth lk.zarding so small a force any farther, we returned
to the vessels, passing within pistol shot of the Russian
ambuscade. The cool steadiness of the officers and
men in the gigs, together with the wonderful precision
of the fire from- the covering vessels, distant as
they - were; doubtless kept the ,enemy in check, and
prevented serious consequences. To Commander 'Lam-
bert, te
Lieunants Grylls and /Rowley, and- Mr. Tabu-
teau (Mate), who were in the gigs, as well as to Lieute-
nants Mairyatt, Townshend, and Hudson, who commanded
the gun-vessels, my best thanks are due.
The gig of the Grinder, under Lieutenant Hamilton,
had a narrow escape upon the same day' from a similar
ambuscade, at a place called Kirpe, 10 miles east of Mari-
anpol, the very proper humanity of Lieutenant Hamilton
in not firing into an open defenceless town as it appeaireit
to him, having nigh entailed the loss of a boat's crew when
attempting to land and destroy a corn store. A heavy fire
of musketry at ball pistol shot providentially injured no
'One, and Lieutenant Hamilton appears to have most skil-
fully escaped.
The 19th July, I reconnoitred Taganrog in the Jasper
gun-tioat. ' 'A new battery was being constructed upon the
heights near the hospital, but although two shots were
thrown into it, it did not reply. , •
Every part of the town showed signs of the injuries it
,had received when we vioited it under the late Capt.:Ed-
rnund Lyons, of the Miranda. The long series of Govern-
ment stores burnt by tee Allied-Metal had not been re-
paired, and the only sign of any communication being now
held, by water, with the Don, was one large barge upon
the beach.
To put a stop, however to all traffic of this nature, and
to harass the enemy in this neighbourhood, I have ordered
Commander Craufurd to remain in the Gulf of Azoff, with
two gun-vessels under his orders.
That the squadron has not been idle, I trust this report
will show ; and without entering more into details than I
have done, I can assure you, Sir, that from Ghenitch to
Taganrog, and thence round to Kamiskeva, we have kept
the coast in a state of constant alarm, and their ttoops
..incessantly moving. The good service done by the gun-
boats in this way has been very great.
The total amount of provisions, corn, fisheries, forage,
and boats destroyed, has been something enormous.
Nothing can exceed the zeal and activity of the officers,
or good:conduct atilt; men, constituting this squadron ;
and constant work does not, -I am hippy to say, appear as
yet to impair their health.—l have, &c., .

THE LONDON GAZETTE

ADMIRALTY, A. 13.
Despatches, of which the following are copies, have
been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons,
Bart, G.C.E., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships
and vessels in the Mediterranean, and Black Sea.

Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, July 30.
In coutitmation of the proceedings of the steam
squadron in the Sea of Azef, under the orders of the Com-
mander Shoran! Osborne, of the Wsuvins, I beg leave to
enclose, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty, copies of two letters from that officer, to-
gether with the several enclosures reporting the steps taken
to deprive the enemy of the now harvest, and to cripple his
resources of all kinds, since the proceedings which were
communicated in my letter of the 7th inst. (No. 638).
During the time the, squadron was detained from stress
of weather, under Berutch Spit, near Gheniteh„the vessels
were, at every break of the weather, employed in destroy:
ing extensive fishicg establishments which supplied the
army in the Crimea with fish, as well as guard-houses,
barracks, stores of forage, and provisions on the Isthmus
of Arabat, anti the pontoon or only meaps of communica-
tion between Arabat Spit and theCritnea, at the entrance
of the Kara-su River, was burnt by Commander RA:parley!
Lambert of the Curlew. The attack and destructiOn of Fort
Fetrovskoi, on the 16st., by the combined English arid French
squadrons named in Commander Osborn's letter, Appears
to have been accomplished with the usual skill and success
which has attended the operations in the Sea of Azef;
and their lordships will observe that particular Mention is
made of Lieutenant Hubert Champion, fienior lieutenant
of the Vesuvius, who commanded the landing party, and
rendered great service. I would particularly beg leave to
call their lordships' attention to the high-minded conduct
of Captain De Cintre, of his Imperial Majesty's steamer
Milan, who, on seeing that the bulk of the squadron was
under the orders of Commander Osborn, to whom he was
senior, waived his light to plan the attack, and placed his
ship, as well as the Monette, in the positions pointed out
by Commander Osborn.

-In the meantime Lieutenant Hewett, in the Beagle, de-
stroyed an extensive collection of fish stores and two large
granaries full of corn in the neighbourhood of Berdiansk.
After destroying Fort Petrovskoi, the squadron proceeded
to Glofira, where some extensive corn and fish stores were
destroyed by vessels-under the orders of Comniander Row-
ley. Lambert, of the Curlew, and a similar service was per-
formed at the Crooked Spit, in the Gulf of Azof, by, ves-
sels under the orders of Commander F. A. B. Craufurd, of
the Swallow. In the meantime Commander Osborn, re.
connoitered various parts of the coast as far as Taganrog:
The reports of Commander Osborn are so comprehensive
that I will only remark that the admirable manner in
which he has carried out my instructions " to clear the
sea board of all fish stores, all fisherie., and mills obi a sale'
beyond the wants of the neighbouring population, and,
indeed of all things destined to contribute to the mainten-
ance of the enemy's army in the Crimea," fully corrobo-
rates the opinion I have before expressed, that he ais An
officer possessing a rare combination of high qualities, and
I beg to recommend him to their lordships' most favour-
able consideration.—l am, &c.,
(Signed) EDMUND LYONS.
Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief.
The Secretary of the Admiralty, &c."&c. &c.

Her Majesty's ship Vesuvius, Gulf of Azof,
' July 17, 1855.
Sir,—Heavy gales and, much sea obliged the squadron in
this sea to take shelter under Berutch Spit for neveral
days.. Coaling, provisioning, 'and completing stores was,
however, proceeded with, and at every break in the wea-
ther the vessels were actively employed destroying
some extensiVe fisheries upon Betutch" Spit, as welt as
guard-houses, barracks, and stores of forage and provisions,to
within-ait easy gun-shot of Arabat Fort. The only pon-
toon or means of communication betweenA.rabitt Spit and
the Crimea, at the entrance of the Kara-su River„ has
been burnt! by Commander Rowley Lambert, H.M.S.
Curies, and we have now entire possession of the Spit. A
lull in the weather enabled me to put to sea upon the 13th
July, for a sweep round the Sea of Azof ; the Ardent,
Weser, and Clinker being left under the orders of Lieut.
Horton te'harans Genitifi and Arabat, as well to cut off'
all communication along the Spit.
Delayed by the weather, we did not reach Berdiansk
until the 15th July; a heavy sea was running, but anxious
to lose no time, the seni-)r officer of the French Squadron
(Captain De Clare, of the Milan) and myself determined
to go at once and endeavour to burn the forage and corn
stacks upon the landward side of the hills overlooking the
town.

H.3l.B.•Swallow, off Crooked Spit,
Sea of Azoff. July 15.
Siro--In compliance with your orders, T proceeded in
her Majesty's steam gun-hoat,,Grinder, ivith Cracker and
Boxer, and boats of the squadron to reconnoitre the
Crooked Spit. -. •
Having cleared the Spit of some mounted troops who
occupied it, I ordered a detachment of boats, with their
respective officers, to land and destroy the immense fishing
establishments and nets found upon the point of it. The
country- seemed swarming with cavalry, but, by the able
management of the officers ill command of the gun-boats,
and by their good fire, they were effectually driven off the
Spit some distance inland:'-

No inhabitants were to be seen, but the occasional
glimpse of soldiers showed that a landing was expected
and that they were prepared for a street fight. I hoisted
a flag of truce in order, if possible, to get the women and
children removed from the town, but as that met with no
reply and the surf rendered landing extremely hazardous,
I hauled it down, and the squadron commenced to fire
over,the town at the forage and corn stacked behind it,
and I soon had the flatisfaction of seeing a fire break out
exactly where it was wanted. The town is not touched
except by an occasional shell. The wheat and forage being
fired it became necessary to move into deeper water for the
night, and from our distant anchorage the fires were seen
burning throughout the night.
On the 16th July the allied squadron proceeded to Fort
Petrovski, between Berdianek and Marianpol. As I ap-
proached the place there were evident symptoms of an in-
crease to tho fortifications since the Vesuvius silenced its
fire three weeks ago. A redan, covering the curtain which
faces the sea, showed seven new embrasures, and much new
earth led me to expect some masked works.
Captain De Cintr6, commanding the. French steamer
Milan, although my senior, in the most handsome manner
surrendered the right of planning the attack; and; keeping
alone in view the good of the allied valise, gallantly took
up the position I wished him to do, followed by Captain
De L'Allemank in the Mouette.

Having reconnoitred as far into the land as we could see
from the mast head of the Grinder, all the boats were or.
dered to land and,set fire to very large and extensive Go-
' vernment stores upon the nppel:part.of thiSpit,
large-fishing establishnients,- an enormous quantity of
nets, haystacks, and several large houses-used as Govern.;
went stores. 'I learnt frOm a Russian fisherman that the
fish caught on this spit and arid here was immediately
forwarded to Simpl2eropol, for the :use of the Crimean
army; and I conclude that a very-severe blow has been in-
flicted on the enemy by the amount of property which was
destroyed, including spars, timber, fish, nets, and boats;
apparently the most extensive= fishing establishments in
the Sea of Azof ; and I am happy to say without &casualty.
My thanks are due to Lieutenant Hamilton, of Grinder,
and Townsend, of Boxer, as also to Lieutenants Rowley,
of Curlew; Gulls, of Fancy; Sullivan, of Vesuvius; Mr.
Aldrich, Master of Swallow; Mr. Deere, Gunner of Cur-
lew, and Mr. Windsor, Gunner of Swallow; who all and
each by their zeal and activity rendered great service in
destroying so large an accumulation of stores and houses
in so short a space of time.—l have, &c.,
