MY LORD,

Messitia, July t 2, 1812.

I haVe the honour to inform your Lordship that
several large armed vessels having' assembled. at
Pietra Nero, for the purpose of , carrying to Na-
ples the contribution of Lower Calabria, in oil,
silks, &c. &c. I conceived it an object to attempt
their destruction. For this purpose I selected
three hundred seamen, and trained ,theavto the
management of small arms ; end having received
infoimation of the.enethy's being ready to depart,
I left Messina with a light division of the flotilla
and landed dear Pietra Nero ; but the enemy
ing"heard of our intention.wei%c so completely pre-.
paired, that. I found it necessary, after some. skis-
mishing, to re4mbark. The 'division of
,gun-
boats of Captain Natoli appearing at this 'moment,
I called them to our assistance, and again,attacked
the enemy, who-had now assembled a very consi-
derable force, consisting of the 3d Neapolitan re-
giment of the line, commanded by Colonel Patris,
a troop of cavalry and Polish lancers, the legion-
aries of Palmi,' and all the armed peasantry of the
vicinity;- independent of the crews of the armed
vessels, each of which bad two heavy gnus in her
bow, which they fired, hoisting French colours
on our approach. Two batteries of three thirty-
six pounders commanded the beach within a few
yards. The quick and well-directed fire of the
gun-boats soon silenced the fire of the batteries,
and, tinder the cover of grape and musketry, I put
on shore the small-arm men, and about thirty of
Abe foreign corps of marine artillery, Who advanc-
ed in an admir4ble style: against the enemy's line,
and beat them up the hill, destroying a number,
and making others prisoners.; at this time an-
other division of seamen disembarked, and in a
few minutes eleven large vessels laden with silk,
&e. &c. were in flames, or blown up; and the guns
in.both batteries spiked and diSabled.'.
From the different reports of the prisoners,
there could not be less than twelve hundred men,
assembled at Pietra Nero to protect their vessels,
and the French General Itlanl;e, having had inti-
mation of our intention, had himself; on the day
previous to the "attack, visited the defences .of
Pietra Nero, pilule the olficer commanding,there
acquainted witiconr object, and was hiMself on
the pot during the attack. .YoUr Lordship
th'erefore be ,:ble to form a...judgment of the ardour
and gallantry of our men, so very inferior in num:,
hers, and having .to act against a regularly or-
ganized body ; no men could behave better than
the seamen of the flotilla and the marine artillery
on' this occasion. Of the former I regret to pay,
that three have been, killed and, seven wounded;
of the latter, two killed and seven wounded. Four
.
officers and thirty-six privates .have been made
priioriers, belonging to the enemy's artillery and
3d 'regiment; three others deserted to us from
the enemy's ranks, and joined. our men in the
-pursuit. •
Lieureaant-Colonel. Lucchesi and Captain:Na-
tOlkvere very active, and Colonel Robinson played
off Congreve's rockets to -good effect among the
cavalry. No damage has been received by the
boats of the flotilla.
