Extract of a letter from Captain Lyons, of his Afige
ship Blonde, to Vice- Admiral Sir Pulteney "%NO;
K.C.B. Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's SkigOig
tb
in the Mediterranean, dated off Morea-Castle, the
October, 1828.
" In obeying your order to act in .concert with.t hoe
nior Officer of his most Christian Majesty's ships) 1
had the good fortune of finding myself associatedl 4
ihose distinguished Officers, Captains Mauduit Dofo,
of La Duchesse de Berri; Hugon, of L'Armide ; Si'll,• of
leneuve, of La Didon ; and in detailing the proccedik
the Blonde, I at the same time describe those of the f
frigates, for I assure you, that throughout an ardueoe
vice of twelve days and nights, in very unfavourable tits
ther, the most perfect concert and hearty co-operatieo_
been invariably manifested.
"On the 18th inst., General Schneider expr 014
wish that four 18-pounders shoulg be landed frog,
ship ; and in less than fous hours they were on shore, ty
all their appointments; the diffiuulties occasioned Whiii
surf on the beach being overcome by the fine spirit
puimated all, French and Engltsh being in the water 7,1
tually assistinn each other. In this operation, the Ole
intelligence of Lieutenant Sanmarez Bruck were vet/
sp icuous.
" On the 20th inst., Lieutenants Luckraft and Poelj
Messrs. Mockler, Hay, Blair, and Austen, Matesidj.
Messrs. de Saumarez, Kennedy, Hawkins, and Dorf
shipmen, landed with a patty of seamen, and ceriusSill
making the batteries, under the direction of the Pv:
Officers of Engineers and Artillery.
" At nine o'clock on the 22d, the batterFiapened 1-er
on Morea Castle, and in a few hours silenced the
posed to it ; but as the army advanced in their apprugois
' to the breaching battery, the Castle opened fresh 0.1
which rendered it necessary for the marine battery to

at intervals, for eight days and nights. 04"
" Last evening, the guns of the frigates, with Woof
pounders, which Admiral de Rigny landed from the jo
querant on his arrival, and such of the battering try
the weather enabled us to disembark, were fairly estabcda
in the two breaching batteries, named by General Mal:d
Charles X. and George IV. the French and Englisli
being promiscuously placed in eaoh ; and at day-lighV,o.
morning, together with the mortar battery and the AY if
bomb, opened such a tremendous fire on the Castle 81
produce, in four hours, an unconditional surrender.
" lam sure you will be glad to find that the zealio
professional talent exhibited by Captain Lushingtoll,4l
officers, and ship's compeny, have excited the
of all.

The ißtna was worked up in the night, under 74
courses and close reefed topsails, andchored, and 9rlll
with such precision, within SOO yards of the Castle,
of
enable that intelligent officer, Lieutenant Logan,
Royal Marine Artillery, to throw 102 shells into the,ior
tle, only the first four going too far. Captain Lu!...POP
ton assures me, that he received the most valuable a'
ante from Lieutenant Walker."
