FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

Admiralty-Office, Nov. 28, 1828..

Extract of a letter from Captain Lyons, of his Majesty's
ship Blonde, to Vice-Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm,
K. C. B. Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's Squad► on
in the Mediterranean, dated off Morea-Castle, the 30th
October, 1828.

" In obeying your order to act in concert with the Se-
nior Officer of his most Christian Majesty's ships, I have
had the good fortune of finding myself associated with
those distinguished Officers, Captains Mauduit Duplessis,
of La Duchesse de Berri; Hum'on, of L'Artnide ; and Vil-
leneuve, of La Didon ; and in detailing the proceedings of
the Blonde, I at the same time describe those of the French
frigates, for I assure you, that throughout an arduous ser-
vice of twelve days and nights, in very unfavourable wea
ther, the most perfect concert and hearty co-opetation have
been invariably manifested.
" On the 18th inst., General Schneider expressed a
wish that four 18-pounders should be landed from each
ship ; and in less than four hours they were on shore, with
all their appointments; the difficulties occasioned by the
surf on the beach being overcome by the tine spirit which
animated all, French and English being in the, water mu-
tually assisting each other. In this operation, the zeal and
intelligence of Lieutenant Saumarez Brock were very con-
spicuous.
" On the 20th inst., Lieutenants Luckraft and nacres ;
Messrs. Mockler, Hay, Blair, and Austen, Mates ; and
Messrs. de Saumarez, Kennedy, Hawkins, and Dor, Mid-
shipmen, landed with a party of seamen, and commenced
making the batteries, under the direction of the French
Officers of Engineers and Artillery.
" At nine o'clock on the 22d, the battery opened its fire
on Morea Castle, and in a few hours silenced the guns op-
posed to it ; but as the army advanced in their approaches
to the breaching battery, the Castle opened fresh guns,
which rendered it necessary for the marine battery to fire,
at intervals, for eight days and nights.
" Last evening, the guns of the frigates, with two 24-
pounders, which Admiral de Iligny landed from the Con-
querant on his arrival,, and such of the battering train as
the weather enabled us to disembark, wen, fairly established
in the two breaching batteries, named by General liaison,
Charles X. and George IV. the French and English guns
being promiscuously placed in each ; and at day .light this
morning, together with the mortar battery and the 2Etna
bomb, opened such a tremendous fire on the Castle as to
produce, in four hours, an unconditional surrender.
" lani sure you will be glad to find that the zeal awl
professional talent exhibited by Captain Lushington, his
officers, and ship's company, have excited the admiration
of all.
" The j'Etna was worked up in the night, under re,,fed
courses and close reefed topsails, anchored, and sprung,
with such precision, within 800 yards of the Castle, as to
enable that intelligent officer, Lieutenant Logan, of the
Royal Marine Artillery, to throw 102 shells into the Cas-
tle, only the first four going too far. Captain Lushing-
ton assures me, that lie received the most valuable assist-
ance from Lieutenant Walker."
