.Admiralty-Orfice, Sept. 1,2, 1807.

Diipatches, of which' the followitl are Copies
arid ExtraEt, have this day been received at this
Office , from Rear.LAdiniral Murray, -addressed to:
William Marsden, Esq. t

Stu, Arereicie, of Barr/won, June 30,:'1807.
I did myself the honour of informing you,.by the
last opportunity which sailed front Monte Video, Df
my proceeding from St. Helena until my atzivaf'otf
Monte Video with the Squadron and .Tram Ports
under my orders, a Dtiplicate of 'which Letter I n9w:
transmit.

Rear-Admiral Stirling had made ,every nece”ary
arrangement for the intended' Expedition before my
arrival ; it being necessary on account of .tits:
•.in the -river that the Line-ot4attle Sitio shut:Lk,
main at anchor off Monte Video, as- well as fur the
protection' nf that place, I direcle4 ACthiral Stirlih
to reniain with them, •,4

Qu the 17th instant, the second diviiiun of

Troops, consisting of all those who 11;x1 come 'ut
ritb Geueial Crauturd, being ready to prikeed. to
061ortia, where General Whitelocke whled the
whole to be assembled, Captain Prevost, in his
Majesty's Ship Saracen, taking with him the En-
counter Guu-brig and Paz Schooner, sailed with the
'Transports.

On the Mit, two hundred and thirteen Ma-
rines of-the Squadron were lauded at Monte Video,
by request of the General, to strengthen the Gar:-
.rison.. I likewise ordered four hundred and forty,
Seamen to be ready to land, under the command of •
Captains Rowley, Prevost, and Joyce, with a pre. ,
portion of Officers; to assist in working 'the Artillery, -
to go up in the Frigates, and CapL Bayntun
proceed up
.the Nfirth Channel to Colonl4, in the
Haughty Gun-brig,.. With six Gun-boats (Spanish
prizes captured atiMoute Video) the Medusa, `.Ne-,
reide, and Thisbe, tiireZeive the Seamen intended
• Wand, and three Boats from each of the Line-of-
battle Ships.
the 2 ist, the wind moderating, I shifted my.
_Flag- to the Nereide, and General Whitelocke did •
me the honour of accompanying me; and having
dire&ed Capt. Bouierle, in the Medusa, and Capt.
Shepheard, in the. Thisbe, to proceed with the
Rolla and Olympia, and the last Division of the
Troops, at noon weighed, and stood to the.Sotirh.
Ward, where we anchored its three fathom water.
On the 24th we anchored between Fnsinada de
. Barragon and the Northern Shore, the winds and •
weather having prevented our getting to the*
Ward of the Oitez Bank before. The. General and
myself finding' time would be lost by going with
this divOon to Colonia, sent for the,Troops to join: '
at this anchorage; General Gowerment for them, _
with orders from General Whitelocke to evacuate P,- •
Colonia, if. he thought it 'neeessary; Colunie was
accordingly evacuated.
On the Q th'theTroops from Colonia joined; with' •
the Fly,.Pheasant, flanghty, and the Gun-boats.
ordered the Paz•up the river, with dire6tionslo' the
'Staunch and Proteolor Gun-brigs to join me. ;•
. The Transports having the Troops and Artillery

tain Thompson, in 'the Fly, who' had made himself
acquainted with the river, and particularly the place; t

Schooner and four Gun-boats ; Captain -Palmer, in
the Pheasant, to lead the second division; with the
Haughty atid.two Gun-boats ; . and Captain Prevest, ,
in the Saracen, to bring up the l'eurof the'third di-
vision; Captains Bayntun and Corbet to superintend
the landing of the troops:, •
At day-light on the 28th, the wind being favour.

:Men under his 'command, as well as to the Masters and
men of the Transports,, for their great exertions-in landing
the Army under the .comm And of His Excellency. Lieutenant.
`General Whitelocke, on the shore of Barragon, yesterday.
He highly approves ofjhe very judicious manner in which
Captains Prevost, Thompson and Pakner, placed theii re.
spe&ive Ships, as 'well as the Gun.brigs and other Armed
Vessels under their orders, fob covering the landing. Much
praise it due td the Lieutenants and Conunanders of those
Vessels for getting so near the shore. _

-He feels himself particulmly obliged to Captains Bayetun'
and Cornet, who had orders to superintend the landin;, for
their zeal and activity in getting theThOps on shore, and for
the regularity With which it was concluded. He is likewise
thankful to COptain Irwin, Agent of, Transports, anti the
Lieutenants under his direction, for the assistance they al-
forded ont h 'occasion.

And thinigh no opposition was made to the landing, he is
ICSlllFineeci that it would have been cowhide(' in the same
,regnclar, Manner had the Enemy been there to oppose them.
Commander! in Chiet has likewise great pleasdre
