Admiralty-Office, Oct._27 , 1812.

Dispatches, of wwlikli the following arc copies,
were received last night at this office, from Vice-
Admiral Sir James Saumarez, K. B. addressed to
Joan Wilson Croker, Esq.
SIR Victory in Hawke, Oct. 17, 1812.

Herewith I inclose, for the information of the
Lords Cdumiissioners of the Admiralty, a letter
from Captain Stewart, transmitted to me by Rear
Admiral iNforris, detailing the operations of the
flotilla at Riga on the expedition against Mittau.
The conduct of Captain Brenton and the Lieu-
tenants under his orders, appears to have been
highly meritorious upon this occasion, and I trust
will be found to merit the approbation of their
Lordships. I am, Sir,
Your obedient, humble servant,
JAS. SA INA REZ.
John Wilsota Croker, Esq. &c.&c. &c.

SIR, • raga,
In
,my last I bad tbe honour to inforin you that
an attack on the PenSsinns in this vicinity was in,
fended to take place about the 26th ult. A cou-
iderable body of troops under Count Steinheil,
left Riga on that. day, and the gun-boats under
the cocain and of the EngliSla officers accompanied
a strong division -of forty Ruisian boats, besides ten
Launches, under.theConiniiind of Admiral Muller,
up the :ii rer AA, ' ' •
The.:gnemy-flad withdrawn his troops from
SchlOciti and his Other posts, on the approach of
tiro boats. We therefore did not meet with any op-
position until the 29th, when about five mats be-
low Mittait ; the enemy had there placed three
different booms across the river, about a half a
mile distant feGin each other. Wi.; in uistol-shot
of the boom, which was very strong, and well con-
structed, were placed three batteries of four guns
each. The booms were soon destroyed, and as we
arrived np., the enemy abandoned their positions
with such precipitation., that four twenty-four
poluidt7s were left in the
.wcitls. •
The English hosts were, alwnys in advance; and
Admiral Muller has desired ine to say, how mueh
he is pleased with the exertions of Captain Bren-
ton and the Lieutenants employed in the boats.
The flotilla took possession of Mittau about
noon; the. enemy had not time to reeiove some
very considerable magazines of clothing aud grain,
and some arias and ammunition. He also left
about four hundred sick and wounded in the town.
In the evening a detachment of the army entered
the town.

The Prussians retreated fro •n Olai upon Bourski,
where they had about une hundred and twenty
pieces of cannon, intended for the sieg.e of this
place; they there received reinforcement on the
29th which Macdonald had sent them from Ja-
cobstadt.

On th,t 30th tile Russians were compelled to re-
tire from before a force of twenty-five thousand
who had nearly eighty pieces of cannon. As
the troops had retired to the vicinity of Riga, the
flotilla left Alittan in the evening of•thejOtii; and,
after destroying a bridge, which had been erected
to facilitate the crossing of the troops and artillery,
arrived at Dananninde last night.
OcToDER 4.—The enemy's works, Whieh were
of a considerable strength at ()Lai, were de-
stroyed.
Tht loss on the part of the Russians is estimat-
ed at two thousand in killed, wounded, and miss-
ing: The enemy must also have suffer eel severely,
and many prisoners are arrived.
I have the honour to be, gee.
(Signed) - HEW STEWART.
