SIR, •
My Letter of the 4th of August informed their
Lordships of the proposal I had , made to Lieu-
tenant-General Sir John Stuart, that the Islands
of Zante, Cephalonia, &c. should be seized on.,
before the French could turn their regard from the
defence of Naples, to strengthen either points, and
in which Letter I inclosed . to you a copy of the
Instruaions I had sent to Rear-Adtniral, Martin, to
be delivered to Captain Spranger of the Warrior,
wloan I had selected to command the naval part `
of the. Expedition.
The change which at that time had taken place
ofin the state the armies 'in the North, required
the Lieutenant-General's consideration, whether'
an adequate force might be spared from 'the army,
and delayed their departure from Sicily, until the
.:?3d September, when the Warrior sailed, from
Messina; with the Philomel sloop, and transports
carrying about one thousand six hundred 'troops,
under the command of Brigadier-General Oswald.
The Spartan at the same time sailed from Malta,
with Mr. Foresti and Count, Cladan, •a Cephalonian
Gentleman, who had for some time taken refuge
at 'Malta, and whose• local knowledge and influence
in the Country, I hoped would, be advantageous to
the service. Orders were also sent to Captain Eyre
of the Magnificent to join them with the 'Corfu
squadron. ' .
I have now great satisfaaion in informing you,
Sir, Of the complete success of this Expedition, and I
the French garrison in the Islands of Zante,
Cephalonia, Ithaca, and Cerigo, have, after a very
' faint resistance, surrendered to his Maje'sty's arms,
the people, liberated from the oppression. of the
French, and the Government of the Sept' Insular Re-
public to be restored.
As no preparation for so unexpeEted a change
could have been made by the inhabitants, it has been
found convenient by the Officers commanding, and
by the principal people who are now to assume the
Government, that the British Flag, with that of
the Republic, shall be continued to fly until the
several Departments arc filled, and regularity is esta-
' blished. ' '
The influence of Mr. Foresti, and the estimation
in which his character is held by the people, very
much facilitated the operations : I - have written to
him to resume his functions, of British Resident with
the Republic, until he shall receive the lu-struaions
of his Majesty's Ministers.
I enclose, Sir, the Letters of Captains Spranger,
Brenton, and Crawley, detailing the several parts
' they took in the reduction of the Islands, a copy
of the Proclamation, and the Reports of the Gar-
risons and Stores, by which their Lordships will
find with what good judgment-all the measures were
taken by the Commanders , of the Sea and Land
Forces, and the zeal and 'intelligence with which
they were executed.
At. Cerigo the greatest -resistance was made; but
Captain Brenton's skill and resources are such as
would. kirmount much greater difficulties than
they could present.

His Majesty's Ship Warrior, 83y,0f
Zante, Odober, 3, 1809.

Si R,

;I have the honour to acquaint you, for the
formation of the Commander in Chief, that, in pur-
suance of his Lordship's orders, • I sailed, from Mes-
sina on the 93d ultimo, in company with the sloop
Philoiuel, two large gun-boats, and 'the transports,
with troops under the command of 'Brigadier-General
Oswald, and. proceeded off Cephalonia, where we
arri\'ed on the .28th, and continued h sight of the
Island until the I§t of 06tober, during which days we
were joined, as had been previously arranged, by the
Spartan from Malta, the Magnificent, Belle Poole,
and Kingsfisher, from Corfu, and anchored that'
night in the Bay of Zante, just within reach of the
nearest battery.
At day-light on the following morning; the troops
assembled alongside the Warrior, and under cover
of the Spartan, Belle Poole, and gun-boats, who
sow silenced - the batteries, landed a division of
the army in the most poled order, about three
miles from the town, and whilst General Oswald -
was advancing, Captains Brenton and Brisbane, and
the gun7boats, conducted by Mr. Cole, my first
Lieutenant, were actively employed in. keeping the
enemy, who had re-manned their batteries; in check;
,and covering the second diseMbarkation, when the
whole army moved forward and cloSely invested the
castle, to which the French had tetired from every
diretclion. ,
A Proclamation, herewith arineited, was in the
Meantime distributed to the inhabitants, explana-
tory Of our views, and finding, 'as was eipeaed, that
they rejoiced-in the expulsion of these common dis-
turbers of mankind, I forbore attacking with the
ships a strong battery on the Mole Head,. which
could no: be taken without destroying a great part
of the toww; and 'have the satisfaction of adding,
that in the course of the day; the eneniy t hough ad-
vantageously situated in a most important and
coomianding r position; thought *per to capi,
tu!ate on the terms which I haVe the honotir to in-
close.
