Downing•street, June 21, 1810.

Dispatches have been received at the Office of
the Earl of Liverpool, from Lieutenant General Sir
John Stuart, dated Mes.hia, 24th April till°, trawl-,
milting the copy of a Dispatch and Er,closure front
Brigadier General Oswald, of which the following
are. Copies. _

SiR,

Head Quarters, Camp, before St. Maw*
Mardi 24. 1813.

I have the honour to report to your Excellency;"'
that the Troops,,with the Naval Forces under the
orient of Captain Eyre, of his Majesty's ship Mag-
nificent, as per margin*, sailed from Zatite-on the
mowing of the 21st. and reached the Island of St.
naora the same evening. Early the next day, the
Army disembarked to the southward of the town.
The enemy retiring from the batteries, on tire ap-
proach of his Majesty's ship -lino;.,,ene and gun-brats
the troops immediately ino%ed torward. Lieut. •
Colonel Lowe, commanding -the advance, a portion
of 'which (Greek light infantry), under Mljor
Church, was kept upon the flank, and drone a party
of Alnanraus irom the adj +cent heights. The town
war round to be evacuated ; General Camus having
with his whole force (auto Inti:.g to above one
thousand men) retired into the fortress and strong
field-works coniintzent there 0; :it the same time
acquainting ;he civil administration with his inabili-
ty any longer to puree' ti,ein.
The fortress of St. Mauro is situated upon a nar-
row sandy isthmus,
.of three miles in ,length, which
joins it to the island, and it has, besides, a diteet
cOmaninicirion with the town by a -sit.gularly nar-
row causeway, nearly a mile in -length. The neck of
la.ru i. defended by two strong redoubts, a6d an iti-
,trenchment regularly constructed, and Capable: of
such a resistance as led -the enemy to declare they,
would arrest our progress for a month at least.
Lieut. Col. .Lowe being left .to watch the enemy's
movements twin the town, supported by..ColOtiel
Wiluer .arid two battalions, I proceeded with a por-
tion of light infantry to reconnoitre •ihe isthanis.
Major Cottrell, 1 found, had already; •with four
comp:lnies'of the Greek light infantry, gallantly
carried the first redoubt ; the enemy retiring upon
his next intrenchments, where he remained in
force, assiduously employed in completing its de-
fence. it was obvious thin no time ought to be
lost in carrying this work ; accordimAy the batta-
lion of de,,tehroents under Major Clarke, 35th Re-
giment, wls tailed from the town to support the
attick,- which previous success and the best appa-
rent dtspoiition tr ...raced me to confide to the Greek
rtfiritry.. Captain Eyre, who did me the ho.
00,, t-, !a--a Ova direr-fed his Majesty's
ship Leonidas to be placed so as to favour the a,saralt.
C r,,taiu limb ne, R. N. who was also on shore,
conveyed this order and our intentions to Captain
GrifE,ths.

I state their wotinds to be of a nature to give hopes

It would exceed the bounds of ad: p itch to enu-

Clarke by LLittletiatit Hatzennatiler, of the Royal.

to the success of the day. Mr. F resti gave me es-,
semis] (hi ring the 'catch, sod, to the attack was
one of the foremost in manic .sting the zeal and cou=
rage with which his Majesty's service upon all occa-
sions inspires him.
The enemy is now pent ,up withirt his walls) and
one of the ports we: gained from, him is favourably
placed for commencing our approaches, which;
however, the narrowness of the ground renders dif-
ficuh and laborious. Herewith I transmit to your
Excellency returns of our killi.d, wounded, and
urnssing, togetuer with lists of the captured ord.-

The line to be attacked extended from sea to
sea-, mounted with four pieces of cannon well fl ink- '
ed 'had a me, ditch end a',batis in front ; man-
ned by about fi, e hundred infantry ; and was s de-
filed from the sea is to render it almost set urefrom
the fire of the shipping. His Majesty's .hip Leo-
nidis came to anchor as close as the water %mild
admit of ; meanwtole the, troops formed in columns
approached, and were to a certain distance co.,r'red
by the grriund. Oo opening the front of the work
they became exposed to a heavy and well direded
fire of grape and musquetry. The Greeks resorted
to their accustomed and in many situations appro- •
priate mode of fighting ; nor could the most.galiant
efforts of Major Church, Captain Tuffin (Inspect-
ors), and others of the officers, make them advance
with that celerity which, on. similar occasious,
usually commands huth safety and -.uccess. I aril
unequal to do justice- to the exertions of my Staff,
to the Officers of the Royal Artillery, and Royal
Engineers who accompanied. me upon this tts)ing.
occasion. Captains .fLyre and Stephens, of the
Royal Navy, were amongst the "most animated to
the combat, and were both wounded in the dis-
play of professional: cha'cadteristic valour. Upon
finding the head ,of the .column could not he
brought to the assault, I immediately. directed Major
Clarke to bring up the battalion of detachments, con-
sisting of two companies of the Royal Marines under
Captains Snow and Stuart,, two: companies of the
Roll's under Major de Bosset, and two companies of
the Calabrian Free Cot ps, under Major Oswald. The
Royal Marines, led bn Major Clarke, and headed by
their Okiac, ro, bralto the. nol, th. an.i chars
ed into.the intrenchme,its ; they were nobly sup.:
ported by the Roll's, under' Maj.ir Bosset ; and no
delicacy can prevent, me from noticing the gallant
exertions of Major.Oswahl, in bringing forward his
corps. The contest was not of long duration ; the
enemy fled at all points, pursued with the bayohet
from work to work ; and such was his precipitation
- that lie not only abandoned the camp and cannon of
the attacked line, but lett his remaining strong po-
sition, followed by Major Clarke's command eten to
the gates of the fortress. His flight was accelerat-
ed by a previously concerted and extremely well exe-
cuted movement of Lieutenant Colonel Lowe, with
the rifles of his corps, supported be a company of
the as th and two companies of the Royal Corsican
Rangers. The party headed by .the Lieutenant Col.
pushed along the harrow and perfeCtly exposed cause-
way which colineds the town with the fortress. This
unexpedted .advance led upon the enemy's rear,
and contributed to his so quickly abandoning the
strong redoubts, which a front attack alone could
wits d:fficulty effect. The Lieut. Colonel in his
report speaks highly of the go- d condutst of tkie
officers and men, and states that Lieui.Boccheicampe
singularly distinguished himself by remaining, alter
receiving a severe wound, to cover the retreat of a
part of the riflemen, whom tie enemy's fire com-
pelled to retire; some of whom, driven from the
dike into the wate., were missing. Thus conclud-

Magnificent, Bello Punic, and Imogene.
