In the .evening, I .detached the boats of this
sli;p, with those of the 'aracen, and the two Sici-
jiau gun_tnints, under captain Harper's orders,
who very handsomely volunteered his services, to
capture the enemy's nriued naval force, which I
understood were lying between the Isle, St;
George, and the.towa.of Cattaro. Captain Har-
per completely succeeded ; the enemy had destroy,
eel th,:ir brats on his approach ; but having suc-
ceeded.it) arming them. with the armed Bocchese
in the neighbourhood, he most gallantly attacked
and carried the Island. St. George, the Comman-
dant and his garrison s&rendering at discresion.-
I inclose his report of the affair, with the account
of the guns, &c. captured. This is a point of the
taninst importance to our future operations : it
commands and fronts the narrow channel to the
-Darrow branch of the river that leads Up to Cat-
taro itself ; and, fortified as it is, it would have
been with difficulty, if at all, the ships of .war
could have passed it. The fort of Peroste was
taken by the Bocchese the same night; and I have
bow the pleasure to acquaint you, that Castel
Nuova, and fort Espagnol, surrendered by capitu-
lation to the British force this morning, a copy of
AdliCh I inclose. , The .garrison remain prisoners
of war till exchanged ; the officers are allowed
their parole. There are several Croats amcingst
the garrison, who are willing .to enter the Aus-
trian service, and intend sending them to Fiume.
I shall lot.e, no time in getting up to.Cattaro.---
Vort :if. John is the onty.place the enemy possess
in the. 13occo. The French General Gauthier has
refit- d into the fort, with about 600 men ;. it is
about fifteen miles up the river, and is a very
strong place. I intend proceeding there direCtly
I have arranged our affairs here. . .
I have left a garrison:in.,FortEspagnoV, and
inclose the return of the stores, guns, &c. &c.
taken in, the three places. The Montenegrins
have been of considerable service in closely block-
,iding the country round Espagnol, and the neigh-
bourhood. I cannot mention in too warm terms
the conduct of Captain Harper ; lie is ever ready;
and most indefatigable, and the ; capture of the
Isle of St.,George does him, the officers and men,
the highest credit.
I am much indebted to Captain Lowen for the
ready advice and assistance he at all times gives
me ;• and the zeal that animates every one is highly
praiseworthy. I have the honour to be, &c.

_ Saracen, off Castel Nuova, BocCa di
Cattaro, Oct. 13, 1E1.13, _

Sin,--_' recahly to, your directions, 1, send the
report of the proceedings. of the boats you -did me
the honour of putting under my command. At
ten P.M. on the 12th instant, I left the Saracen
with the two gun-boats, the launch and barge of
the Bacchante, and the boats of the sloop under
my command, and pulled towards.Cattaro. On
going through the passage of Cadone, the enemy
on the island of St. George opened a heavy-fire on
us. We fortunately escaped without damage.—
At midnight, within four miles of Cattaro,
found the .enemy's four gun-boats in a state of re-
volt. I instantly, took possession of them, 'The
appearance of the English at this moment had the
happiest effect. I landed at the different places ;
summoned the principal inhabitants., who imme-
diately, at my request, armed en masse against the•
French. As there was not a moment to tae lost in
carrying into execution your further orders respect-
ing the island of St. George, I hoisteu the English
and Austrian flags in the 4 gun-boats taken, and
Manned them with part English, and the remain-
der inhabitants, volunteers, and proceeded dawn
to the attack of that place. At day-light, I landed
t the town of Persate, and found the inhabitants
bad taken posSession of a stnal,l castle of three
guns from the French. • Seeing these guns might
be employed with advantage against the forrifi-.
rations of St.- George; and the inhabitants putting
thetnieke-s under my orders, I hoisted the Eng-
glish and Austrian colours,- and took the com-
mand. I. ordered Lientenant.Gostling to bring up
the gun-boats to the attack, which. he did in the:
most handsome manner. At side A. M. this morn-
ing, a heavy and well directed fire wa,s opened at
the island, and returned from it. In fifteen
minutes the enemy ‘vas-driven from.hiS guns, and
made a flag of truce, and offered to .capitulate... I
insisted on their surrendering at
.discretion, the
whole to be prisoners,; ' and allowed thrlit five
minutes only before ..I commenced firing, again,
to wiiiciCthcy sui,mitted, andl todk poSsession of
the island, and hoisted,the English colours. lam
happy to this strong place has been reduced
without any loss till our side.,

It is with the greatest pleasure I have to re-
port the good cominct of every officer and man
employed, and it I had tree!' obliged to storm the
island, as I intended; 1 feel confident the result
would have been complete success.
Lieutenant Gostling, of the Bacchante, to
whom I. gave the command, of the gun-boats,
brought them 'tip to the attack under a heavy fire
Iron) enemy, in the most cool ancl determined
mahncr., I have landed the marines, and given
blot the command of the island until your pleasure
is known. It is riot irt.tny powcr to decribe tbe•
the joy wit; enthusiasm of the inhabitants at see-
-1 the English flag flying. In two-hours I had
the whole population armeol (miler my dOina-and,
And ready to execute any thhi I migut order.
The gun-boats.l bad taken,l have ordered to
blockade the town and castle of Cattaro by sea,
and the ,armed inhabitants by land, which. they
sire doing In the strictest manner.

Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Felten- has . trans-
mitted to John Wilson Croker, Esq. a letter from
Capt. Dickson, of his Maje.sty's ship SAftsure,
rrporting the capture, off Cape Rousse, in the
island of Corsica, on the 26th of November, of
the French schooner privateer Charlemagne, of
eight guns and ninety-three men, by the boats of
the above ship, under the direction .0f Lieutenant
William Smith. ,

. The schooner had sailed from (noa twenty-
four days before, stored for
_a six-months cruise;
and was availing herself of her sweeps to es—'
cape froth the Swiftsure, ,when the boats were
dispatched in pursuit of ,her. On, their approach
the enemy made every preparation for resistance,
and reserved their fire till the boats had opened
theirs„when they, returned it in the most deter-
mined manner for some minutes, until the vessel
was boarded on the bow and quarter, and in=
stantly carried.
Captain Dickson commends in very high terms,
the gallantry of all the officers and men employed
in the boats.

Joseph Douglas, midshipman, and four sea.
men, were killed ; and Lit:int:pants Fuller and
Harvey, Lieut. Thompson, of the Marines, Mr.
Field, midshipman, and 11 seamen, wound.A.

On Saturdey last at two o'clock, the a4ljourneel
inquest 011 Mrs. Mann, met at the White Horses
in Baldwin's Gardens, to astertain by what means
site met with tier death. ,
Mr. Owen; surgeon.; of Chancery-bane, stated,
that he was sent for on Wednesday night to the
house of Mr. Potts, chemist, in Fleet=street, to
see the deceased. On examining her, he was des
eidedly of opinion she was in an apoplectic fiteand
that her dissolution was near. He found it had
been attempted to bleed her iii both. arms to no
effect, and she had an,openingdraughtadministere
e(1 to her, which was all he could do. Witness
attended on Friday to open the body and the head:
on opening the head he found four ounces of cx-
travasated blood ()tribe left lobe of the brain, and
part on the surface of that lobe, which he was
clearly Of opinion was the cause of her death ;
thereaves
.nothing of a poisonous nature in the
contents of the stomach, which was analysed, be-
ing only the draught thatvasiadministered to her.
br. Blegborough, of Bridge-street, illackfriars,
being examined, stated, that.he was called to the
deceased at half-past two o'clock on Thursday
morning, at the house of her husband, when he
found her attended by tour persons, one of whom,
a copper, had taken six ounces of brood from
behind the head ; that at that time she was la-
bouring under all the symptoms of apoplexy : he
found there a draught, which had,been sent home
with her front the apotlierary's ; and conceiving
that-nothing could be niiire judicious, it was.ad-
ministered, and; oti Aissectione seemed the only
cbnients of the. stomach ; that she expired in about
. three-quarters of an hour from his arrival ; and
that he declared it at that time as his decided opi-
nion, that her death was occasioned by the rup-
ture of a blood-vessel on the brain,
James Potts, chemist, of Fleet-street, gave the
same deposition as- before, and was also of opi-
nion that she died of an apoplexy.
Frances Burrowes, maid-servant to Mrs. Perry,
at,the Snn, Shire-lme, stated, that about a quarter
past tc-ss o'clock, on Wednesday night, the de-
ceased, in company with a man who she heard
*was a journeyman baker, came to their houses;
she had never seen them. before. They asked for
- a room, and were shown by witness into a par-
lour ; the man called' for two glasses of negus.
which she brought, and the man paid her five
shillings for the room and negus. Sheahen wetit
out and left them, and heerd 110.. mote of them
:feta about an hour after, when that room bell
was rung. Witness went in, and the deceased
wag sitting in a large at m-chair, near the fire, anti
the mien standing over her : she appeared as if
she was in a fit.„ The man called to witness for a
glass ,of water, which 'she brought ; she theas
burned some paper under her nose, but to no
purpose. Witness called in her mistress, and her
feitow-servant the cook ; the cook gave her some
hartshorn and water in .a tea-cep. The deceased
appeared in a senseless state, and the man much
agitated. The cook ,and her mistress untied her
petticoat, which was very tight, unloosed her
stays,- and removed her from the chair to a sofa.
Witness- was sent for Mr. Potts, a chemist, next
door, who came with her. The deceased was af-
terwards removed in an arm-chair' to Mr. Potts's
house, and witness did not see her again.
George Brown stated, that, he was a journeyman
baker, -and worked for.M:. Henry Howell, baker,
in Newcastle-street, Strand. He had been ace
enainted with the deceased about three months.
On Wednesday evening, about a crasser past six,
he met her by nppointmeta, at Ureat Turnstile,
Holborn : they then proceeded to the Horse and.
Groom public-house, at the corner of Whetston-
park, Lincoln's-ism-fields, wl.erc there was a
vounganan of the name of Joseph Baron, a baker,
waiting for biro ; they had a quarteen of runt,
and the deceased took about. half r, glass.; they
left Joseph Baron, and both went 'to the Sans
'Pared Theutre, • where they arrived about
seven o'clock. Mrs. Mann gave witness the
order, which he gave to the box-keeper at
the to.p of the stairs. The box-keeper knew
Mrs. Mann ; he showed them into a box, which
he shut after he saw them in. Mrs. Mann pulled
off her mantla when she got in. About half-
past nine she "complained of being very cold,
and witness desired her to putt on her mantle : she
afterwards complained of a violent head-ache, and
wished to go home, saying that Mr. Lund, who
gave her the order, would go to her house, as
sown as the performanee was over, and she would
wish to beat home before him. , They left the
theatre about ten, and walked slowly along the
Strand, she complaining all the way of being ill
ve)ten, they paised the New Church, before they
got to Teurple-bar, she was seized ,with a violent
' head-ache, and attempted to 'reach ; witness ask-
ed her how she found herself ; she said very un-
well, and Wished to go to the first public-house
they came to. They went to the, Sun Tavern,
near Temple-bat, where she was willing to go;
they were shewn into a parlour, and had two
glasses of. negus, for which he paid
.five shils
sings. The servant went out, and shut the door.
Mrs. Mann sat on an arm chair, on one side the
fire, and witness on the opposite side ; he asked
her if she would taste it—she said she would pass
it. in about five minutes utter, she put her heed
to her head, and said, " Dear me ! what a shock-
ing head-ach I. have got." Witness asked her if
she found herself very unwell : she said she did,
and she tinned. very pale. .Witness went to her,
andlaid hold oiler. She leaned her heed back on
the chair, and seemed to fall in to a composed sleep.
Her senses left her ; witness became alarmed ; he
shook her, and called her by her name, but could
get no answer ; she snored, as if in n heavy sle.ep,
but she never recovered. Witness did not well know
how to act, lie thought, by Jetting her be, for some
time, she would be better ;- but finding her
still continue in the same state, •,be rung -the
bell for assistance, which might. be in about
forty minutes after she fell into the fit. The wo-
man servant answered it. After offering to give
her water, burning paper under her Dose, and
wetting her mouth with hartshorn and water,
witness sent for Mr. Potts, the chemist. • Witness
told Mr, Potts„that as she was a married womaos
he, for the sake of her character, would wish to
hide that-she, had been in sucleaa house, and sug-
gested the propriety of having Tier removed to his

tvikee wi at6iiriiiiifh
her husband sent for. Witness assistedli !i• hus-
band in putting her into a hafltney-coaei.
they set .off home together. Witness knew
more of the matter.
Mr. fionosort, the Criron6-, then addressed the
witness : he told him be *lts acquitted of the
crime of murder, and that it was welt fur him Ole
present inquiry had taken ;Ace. Whatever lii
moral cOnduct might have been, it eras not their
place to inquire into—witness had thcit to recoil...,
rile to his conscience. I-4d then tiddressed. th,E
Jury, whO returned a verdict of—Died by the viszt-
tation of God,' by apoplexy. The deceased waS 42.1
years of age.
