kept her as a refuge for the boats incase of an attack.

The magistrates stated that they were induced to yield
thus submissively, from their being convinced that if they
were to overpower us, a large force would be sent, and the
-town perhaps destroyed.
- The boats captured eight merchant vessels all new and
:well found, but dismantled, sails unbent, some scuttled
and aground, nevertheless they were all brought out and
taken in tow by Amphion and Conflict, before 9 p.m.
The private property found on board was restored to the
owners on application for it.
Although I had the ocportunity of destroying a large
amount of the enemy's property, such as their houses,
-vessels on the stocks, and vessels repairing. I did not con-
sider it right to do so, as the troops had left the town so
• pitifully to its fate, and the people had assisted in getting
the vessels out, by opening the bridge, &c. which would
haVo detained us some considerable time, had we been
obliged to blow it up, though I was prepared to do so.
The fact of the town of Libau containing 10,000 inhabi-
` tants and formed by nature with unusual facilities for
defence, being temporarily taken possession of by 130
Men without a shot being fired, I attribute almost entirely
to the judicious conduct of Captain Cumming during his
conference with the magistrates when he landed with a
flag of truce.
I have great pleasure in testifying to the exemplary
behaviour of all the officers, seamen, and marines em-
ployed on this service.—l have, &e.,

Her Majesty's Ship Amphion, off Liban,
May 17, 1854.
Sir,—The duty of summoning you to surrender the mer-
chant vessels in the port of Libau has fallen upon me.
I would willingly spare the town and the lives of the
inhabitants; if, theresere, the steam-vessel, and all the
Russian merchant vessels in the port (above and below the
bridge), are ssnt out in their present condition, within
three hours after the receipt of this letter, not a shot shall
be fired. The men bringing them out shall be landed
under a flag of truce.
"If at the expiration of that time this demand is not
complied with, the consequences rest with you. In which
case I trust that you will cause the women and children
to leave the town, an 1 the invalids to be removed to some
conspicuoas building, which, if indicated by a flag, will bo
respected.—l have, Stc.,

Town Hall, Libau, May 17 (F), 1854.
Sir,—The notification addressed by her Britannic Ma-
- jeqty's Commander of the Amphion, to deliver up the Rue-
, kart merchant vessels in the port of Libau, has been re-
., eel ved by the magistrates of 'this town, there being no mi-
litary or civil governor.
The town of Liban being in a defenceless state, has no
power to resist the demand.
. The peaceable inhabitants are con2pelled to submit them-
selves to any demands put to them ; they expect, however,
that her Britannic Majesty's power wilt only undertake
that which is consistent with humanity and honour.
• . The ships demanded cannot, and will not, be refused ;
hart it is entirely impossible to deliver them in the time
- p7escribed, as the most of them are unrigged and lying on
;.' a swampy ground.
Under these circumstances the magistrates can only re-
' - ply that her Majesty's Commander should convince him-
lrelf of the impossibility, and resolve in which way the said
merchant vessels are to be brought out of harbour..
Trusting that meantime no hostilities will be under-
- taken against the town and its inhabitants,
I have, &c.,

communications as per schedule frothtYd hatptaa

These communications contain the particular
serious conflict between considerable thenumbersoBfof a very Chi.
iaese Imperialist soldiers, employed in the-siege of .11,,
ua
and:thens.val force commanded by Captain o'ca linge an,
in agh
eenjunction with the commander of the United State's
sloop.of war Plymouth, and assisted by a body of volun.
teers from the factories in that vicinity.
3. The operations reported by Captain O'Callaghan ap.
'pear to have originated in the necessity for taking vigor-
ous measures for the defence of the British and other fac-
toiias, and to have led eventually to the seizure of the
Chinese war junks, and to the expulsion of the Chinese
soldiers; from the camp's they occupied contiguous to the
borders of the settlement.
I regret that it is not in my power to afford their
lordships any further official information on this subject,
beyond that which is contained in Captain O'Callaghan's
reports herewith transmitted.
4. In bringing this subject to their lordships' notice, I
by
-Captain
point attention to the very gallant conduct evinced
k.laptain O'Callaghan and by all the officers, seamen,
aitinmenes engaged. The conduct of Commander the
an 1 of. D. Keane, and of Lieutenants Dew and Majendie,
a party of 10 marines, who resolutely withstood the
attack of an enormously superior force, is particularly

Her Majes►.y's steam-sloop Encounter,
Shang,hae, April 4, 1854.
Sir,.--I have the honour to inform you, that a collision

has taken place between the Imperialist forces before the
city of Shanghae and ourselves, under the following cir-
cumstances.
2. At about 4 p.m. on the 3rd instant I observed the
signal (previously arrangtd) for the small arm men of her
Majesty's ships to land, which was promptly obeyed. .

at the time) that the Imperial troops were firing on our
ea( wmh eo
ha aagpep frome ed
people, and the ground was being held by the marine of
the main guard.
4. I advanced with the Encounter's men to the spot
indicated (the race course), which is within the limits of
our boundary, where a sharp firing was being maintained
on either side.
5. Her Majesty's Consul and Vice-Consul wero there;
and at the former's requisition, and quite in acccordance
with my own views, I am determined on at once acting
on the offensive, and having clearly ascertained the camp
from which the aggression had been made, took it and
burnt it, which I am happy to say was effected without
loss, as the troops retired the moment we opened fire upon
them.
6. Commander Kelly, of the U.S. ship Plymouth, also
landed his crew, and having arranged with him for the
protection of the settlement during the night by means of
strong patrols, the rest of the crews were re-embarked.
7. Her Majesty's Consul deeming it advisable to take
further steps for the security of the settlement I suggested
the taking possession of the Chinese Fleet, and holding it
until a camp (which most unnecessarily has been pitched
close to the boundary, and from which most wanton at-
tacks have frequently been made) was removed, and in this
he concurred.
8. In accordance with the above, I sent the boats of the
r Grecian, with the pinnace of the Encounter (commanded by
Lieut. Dew) under the command of Commander the Hon.
G. D. Keane, to take possession of the junks, and bring
them down under the Encounter's guns, which he effected
most judiciously; and 1 take this opportunity of stating
that from him I received every assistance that adroitness
and promptitude could afford.
9. I think it my duty to call your attention to the con-
duct of Lieutenant Majendie,
.of her Majesty's sloop
Grecian ; he was officer of the guard at the time the
aggression took place, and on being sent for repaired to
the spot with 10 marines, and there kept a considerable
body of men at bay until reinforced ; and I feel it due to
Lieutenant R. Dew, Ist Lieutenant of this ship, to men-
tion the promptitude and smartness with which the crew
of the Encounter were landed.
Advanced Post, Shanghae, April 5, 1854.
10. Since the above was written I have the honour fur-
ther briefly to inform you, that at the request of her Ma-
jesty's Consul, in accordance with the other Consuls, we
have found it requisite to attack the Imperial camps near
our boundary, which have been most gallantly taken. I
have not time to enter into details, as I am writing this
on the field.

11. The Imperialists have retired in considerable force
(4 to 5,000 men) to the main camp. My object will now
be to defend the settlement, but the force at my disposal is
small, and I urgently request a reinforcement, if possible
some troops ; indeed so critical do I deem our position
that I have resolved on ordering the Styx up, if the senior
officer at Amoy can spare her.
12. I cannot too strongly praise the conduct of Com-
mander Keane, and Lieutenant Dew, who most gallantly
stormed the very strong works thrown up.
13. I ant anxious this should reach as soon as possible,
and for this purpose the Nymphh clipper will sail to-night
or to-morrow morning.
14. Our available force is about 300 men with the Ame-
ricans. Captain Kelly with his gallant crew has operated
with me in a most effective and cordial manner. lam
much indebted to the gallant and steady conduct of him-
self, officers, and men, and to all under my command.
(Enclosed is a list of the killed and wounded). Her Ma-
jesty's Consul and Vice-Consul—the latter with 40 gentle-
men of the settlement—have been with me in the field,
and afforded me much assistance. . _

15. I will take the earliest opportunity of afford-
ing you a more detailed account; but of this you may rest
assured, that the extreme measures taken were positively
requisite for the safety of the community.

Enclosure No. 8, of No. 26.
Barracouta, Singapore, April 28,1854.
Sir,—l received on the 22nd your reports, dated on the
4th and sth instant, written from the scene of action, de-
scribing the operations and arrangements in which you
had been engaged up to the latest of those dates, and con-
taining explanations of some of the circumstances which
led to the very serious collisions you describe with the
forces of an Empire at peace with her Majesty.
On a full review of those communications, it is my duty
to point out that it laclongs to the Crown alone to declare
war; and that the orders and instructions of the Admi-
ralty prohibit the commission of acts of hostility towards
the subjects of foreign countries, and that naval officers
will be held most strictly responsible for any departure
from the line of duty thus marked out.
In the particular case comprised in your reports it is clear
the seizure of the Chinese camps and junks were acts of hosti-
lity agaihst the oublic forces of a State not only at peace with
the Crown, but towards whom we are enjoined to show the
utmost consideration. No such acts can be justified on
the ground that they were recommended or called for by
any consular officer. They can only be justified by the im-
mediate and unavoidable necessities of your position at
the time, and it is by the proof you adduce of the existence
of such necessities, that the Admiralty will judge of. the
propriety of such a departure from its positive injunctions.
I have considered, as it is my duty to do, the circum-
stances you relate, and lam bound to acknowledge that
they appear to have been such as to have left you no al er-
native, consistent with the safety of the interests you had'
been ordered to protect, but to pursue the course you took
upon the 3d and 4th inst. ; but I must apprise you, that
in cases of this nature, it is not for me to pronounce a con-
elusive judgment.

' With respect to the measures you took for effecting the
objects you .had in view, supposing these to have been jus-
tifiable, I am at liberty to form a more decided opinion ;
and 1 have, therefore, to inform you that your personal
conduct, and that of the gallant captain, offices, and men
who co-operated with you from the United States' ship
Plymouth, and the conduct of Commander Keane, and of
Lieutenants Dew, Hemsted, Majendie, and Montgomery,
and of the seamen awl marines, and gentlemen-volunteers
engaged on the occasions referred to, has elicited my
warmest admiratiod; and I shall take an opportunity to
bring to the notice of the Admiralty the names of the
10 marines who so resolutely withstood the attacks of a
very superior force upon the 3d of the month.—lam, &c.

Rear-Admiral, Commander•in-Chief.

THE LOSS OF THE EUROPA.

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
LOSS OF TWENTY-ONE LIVES.

We have just received the following official despatch
from the Admiralty :

Accounts have been received to-day, announcing the
destruction by fire of the transport Europa, on the night
of the 31st of May, and the loss of two officers, Colonel
Moore, and Veterinary-Surgeon Kelly, four sergeants,
twelve men, and one woman, of the 6th Dragoons. The
folp3wing are the despatches that have been received at
the Admiralty :

Sir-1 am. commanded by my Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty to request you will lay before the Duke
of Newcastle the accompanying copies of two reports,
dated the 2d and 3d- inst., from the Conimanding Officer of

loss of the Europa transport, on the night of the 31st of
last month, during her passage to the Mediterranean with
a division of the Enniskillen Dragoons; and my Lords re-
quest yon will state to his Gt ace, it is with the deepest re-
gret that they have learnt that the catastrophe has been
attended with the loss of so many valuable lives. I am,

any vestiges of crew or passengers. The weather was fine,
sun bright, and the horizon clear in every direction'

miles, but no boat was visible from the mast-
head before or after the vessel went down. The sea was
covered with charred timbers, ,hen;c6ops, floating hay,
casks, and iron tanks containing biscuit. The contents of
the latter remained on fire for some hours after the ship
had disappeared.

of the ship appeared to have been blown out ; and the
fire must have raged most fiercely in the after part ;
fur the mizenmast was burnt to a cinder, whilst the fore-
mast was comparatively uninjured by fire. The masts had
gone overboard at soine distance from each other, with the
yards and sails hoisted up and sheeted home ; some small
spars lashed to the head of the mizenmast indicated pre-
parations for making a raft. Finding no appearance of
any human being, and no relics of the boats, I felt dis-
posed to think that the crew had made their escape in
them, or had found their way on board some other vessel,
and after having stood for two hours in the direction which
it was assumed the boats would have steered, we fell in
with one adrift and abandoned, but quite new and sea-
worthy and unscathed by fire, containing a few oars and
some vegetables.
. As a boat of this description would never have been
abandoned unless the parties in her had found refuge in
better quarters, I am of opinion that a portion, if not the
whole of the crew and passengers of this unfortunate ves-
sel have escaped; and this opinion i° strengthened by the
fineness of the weather, the smooth water, and the num-
ber of ships that were passing in all directions during the
previous day, both from and towards the scene of this
melancholy disaster.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your
most obedient and humble servant,

Sir,—ln continuation of my letter of the 2nd instant,
reporting the loss of the Europa by fire—
I have now the honour to acquaint you that on the
morning of the 4th, when about 120 miles north-west
from Cape Finistorre, we had the pleasure of receiving
from the British brig Clemanthe, Lieutenant Black, Ad-
miralty agent ; the master, two of the crew, and eight
privates of the Ist Dragoons, in the Europa, and later in
the day, from the Prussian schooner Kennett Kingsford,
and the British barque Maranon, three officers, thirty-
five non-commissioned officers and privates, one servant
and two women, with four officers and twenty-eight sea-
men, belonging to the Europa ; in all eighty-five, of whom
sevety-seven are on board this ship, and eight on board
the Sir Robert Sale transport.
I regret to add, that of the number originally embarked
in the Europa, twenty-one have doubtlessly perished ;
two officers (Lieutenant-Colonel Moore and Veterinary
Surgeon Kelly) are amonst the missing, and six non-com-
missioned offigers, ten privates, two of the ship's com-
pany, and one woman, have shared the same fate.
The greater number of these were washed away
from the wrack of the masts, to which they had clung,
but Lieutenant Colonel Moore remeined at his post to
tko last ; and having Jepeatedly declined to leave the
burning vessel until all his men had been safely re-
moved, was at last driven into the mizon channels by

master (Mr. Gardner) was marked by great coolness and
intrepidity throughout these trying hours; he was the last
man to quit the wreck, and had his zealous endeavours to
maintain order and save life been as ably seconded by his
ship's company, there can be little doubt that the list of
casualties would have been reduced.
It is my intention to disembark the crew and passengers
at Gibraltar, provided the Governor sees no objection.
The soldiers are in want of many military necessaries,
with which we are unable to provide them, and the Master
is desirous of setting his crew at liberty as soon as possible.
This ship is also so inconveniently crowded, that it is in all
respects desirable to laud our passengers without delay.
Some of the soldiers are suffering from burns and
bruises, but none beyond the reach of ordinary medico
treatment.
