After a lapse of twelve years it was judged
expedient, by the Heads of, the several Depart-
merits of Government, to recommend that a far-
ther addition should be made to the incomes of
the Clerks in their respective-offices. This mea-
sure was.not hastily adopted. It was the result
of mature consideration, after a minute inquiry
into the nature and amount of the emoluments of
each individual employed under them ; and the
consequent conviction that all were' very inade-
quately recompensed for their services. This
proposed augmentation was not considered as an
increase of salary, but as a►t additional allowance
to be made to each Clerk at stated periods and
in certain proportions according to his length of
service.

The measure was sanctioned by the same au-
thority, and was approved and confirmed by the
King ;ti Council, in the same manner as thelie-
gulations in 1795.

If acts such as these are not to be held sacred,
what on earth can be considered as binding ?
Upon what principle of justice or of equity are
the Clerks to be curtailed of any part of the al-
lowances granted to them upon the grounds above
stated, and confirmed to- them by the King him-
self by numerous Orders in Council ?—lf these
solemn engagements are to be set at nought,what
security have they that at no distant period a
further paring of their pittances will not be ex-
torted from them ?--No Sir, so' long as the Clerks
continue faithfully to discharge the duties of their
respective situations, they cannot be deprived o f the
smallest fraction of their present emoluments
without a positive breach of faith on the part of
Government, and a direct violation of the com-
pact entered into with them.

These general remarks upon the question un-
der consideration have led me so far that I must
postpone to a future occasion the application of
them to individual cases.

I am, Sir, your humble Servant,

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Paris, OCT. Il.—The King yesterday held a
Council of Ministers.

A letter from Bayonne, dated Oct. 4, states,
that " the affair of Riego is not forgotten. It is
said that very strong representations are about
to be addressed to the Cortes, requesting the in-
vestigation of that affair, and that the Govern-
ment may be required to give :an account of the
motives for the removal of the General. The
cordon on our frontiers has been reinforced within
these few days. The -entrance of Spanish goods
is,, however, within these few days permitted,
provided they have good passports and certifi-
cates of health. The entrance of wool and other
merchandize from Spain continues to be pro-
hibited."

Letters from Oferon state, that the epidemic
malady still makes considerable ravages between
that -place and Saragossa. In several communes
30 or 40. persons die daily. It is nearly the same
at Tartosa, Fraya, and Aleciainenza. •
The authorities of Nava: re and Arragon have
adopted the most rigid precautions against the
progrEr of the fever. We are assured that no
symptom of the malady exists in Andalusia.
A disorder called the musquoso7bilious _fever
lias appeared in a hamlet called .La Cour
ki'Origny, in the arrondissement of Avallon. - It
as first noticed between the Eel and 12th of Aug.,
during the great beats and the harvest labours.— -
It is attended by a carious circumstance, as (la-.
cult for physicians to explain as many other pro 7.
blears in medicine—namely, that the malady has
only attacked one half of the hamlet, which is
divided into two equal parts, by a cross, sur-.
rounded IA ith trees. The northern part is in-
fected, while that of the south is quite healthy.
Mr. Philip Green, British Consul-General in,,
the Morea, whose name has been often men-
tioned in the journals with relation to the
,Greek
Insurrection in the Peloponnesus, isnow. at Paris.-
Jle intended to have prosecuted some of the
French Journals which had .published calumnies
against his conduct at Patras ; but having taken
the opinion of some of our most eminent lawyers,
he was convinced that, not being accredited in
France, and not residinr, in the country at the
time the publications took place, his official cha-
racter could not be recognised by our Courts.—
Justice and. impartiality, which are the rules of
our Journal, impose on us the obligation of stat-
ing that we have had before us official documents
Of high authority, which prove in a victorious
wanner that the atrocious imputations cast on
Green are not only destitute of- foun-
dation, but even fabricated' in despite of corn-
,mon -sense.-L-Far from having manifested se'n-
•timents hostile to the cause of the-Greeks;
•the Consul-General was obliged, in conse-
qnence of the- complaint of.- the Turkish
Government to render an account to his own
• Government, of an affair in which lie had favour-
ed the Greeks, who were at Patras, at the corn-
mencement of the revolution. _Far from having
'advised the Turks to burn the town of Patras, lie
.“posed • his own life by assisting to extinguish
the fire; and he distributed Money to the crew
of the Malta packet-boat, to induce them to fol-
low his -,example. This packet-boat, the de-
parture of which from Patras has been the -.ob-
ject of so much caluinny, conveyed. Mr. Green's
dispatches for the Anglo-lonian Government of
,Corfu. In forwarding these dispatches the . Con-
sul only fulfilled one of the duties of his effice,;
but this circumstance served for a pretext for
imputing to him the having given information
to the Turkish army in Albania. It has also been
reported that Mr. Green owes considerable sums
to Greek merchants. On the contrary, lie has
to claim from them debts to the 'amount of about
67,200 Turkish piastres. We are besides in-
formed that Mr. Green never received the pro-
test said to have been addressed to him by the
Provisional Governtreat of Kalimata. Ile bud
not even heard of it befcr., he saw it in the Paris
Journals, whi e h. Was at Marseilles for the re-
covery of his health. Mr. Green cannot conceive
what motives the Government or .Kalamata can
have 'far gratuitously blackening the conduct of
a man whose character, both in his private and

public capacity, has always been unstained. In
reflecting on the wftole of the circumstances, it is
not improbable that this protest, like many others,
may be a fabrication.—(Journal des Debuts.)

MADRID, OCT-. I.—On the 28th of September,
the day appointed for the opening of the Session,
of the Extraordinary Cortes, the King and Queen
repaired in great state to the Palace of the Cortes.
The acclamations of an immense concourse of
people'attended their Majesties to the very door
of the Palace, where they were received by two
Deputations of the Cortes. The King, after
having taken his seat on the Throne, delivered
the following speech :
66 GENTLEMEN,—SHICe I expressed to the
• Cortes my [Wives for believing it advisable to
call an extraordinary meeting of the Cortes,
-nothing has so much engaged my attention as the
desire to see them assembled. I now see them
with the greatest satisfaction,
.and give myself
wholly up to the pleasing and just hope of the
good which the. country will derive from their
labours. The subjects which I have prepared

o lay before these Cortes for their consideration

are mostly such, the regulation of which is neces-
sary for the more speedy consolidation of the
constitutional system, such as the division of the
territory, and the hest means of placing, accord-
ing to it, the political government of the Cortes,
the military ordinances, the of decree of the
organization of the naval force, and the decree
for the organization of the active militia. I par-
ticularly urge you to place every thing in con-
sonance with the fundamental law of the State,
leaving the administration free from all those
serious embarrassments which it. often meets with
for want of this necessary harmony, and which
the Government cannot remove. I have also

thought that some other points ought to be de-
termined, which, though not so intimately con-
nected with the Constitution, have a great in-
luence on the general prosperity : such as the
measures to be adopted to restore the tran-
quillity and to promote the welfare of the
Americas, the examination and reform of the
duties of customs, the means -necessary to

prevent the serious loss which the nation sus-
tains by the currency of false or defective
foreign' coin, and the project. of a deCree
in the charitable institutions. Though all the
subjects •that are going to he dis Cussed by
the Cortes are of so much importance, the fact it-
self of their being assembled to discuss them is
still more so. This new proof and guarantee of
the union which prevLits between :all the chief
powers Of the state) must convince all the ene-
mies of our institutions that their efforts to sub-
vert them will be vain. I shall take advantage
of the period in which the Cortes will continue
assernbled to give orders to propotb any measure
or project which May appear to my Government
necessary and urgent,-as well as to ask their co-
operation when circunastanCes niay require. The
field, gentlemen, is mast extensive which is open
to your zeal, and your talents ; and those quali-
ties which so greatly _distinguish you, combined
with the prudenCe and -circurtmpection which
have ,marked all you). 41iberations, ensure to
the country the completion of those advantages
which it already owes to you. 4. have-14e con-
fidence that you will- gain in' both.respects the
admiration of the nation and of foreigners, en-

titling yourselves more and more to the particular
-esteem of your King, who will always consider
the Cortes as the firmest support of his constitu-
tional throne."
Ills Majesty having .concluded‘his discourse,

he President made a suitable reply, compliment

ing his Majesty for having called this extraordi-
nary meeting of the Cortes : he adverted to the
delicacy with which his -Majesty had appointed
the. 24th September as the day of their meeting,
this being the anniversary of the installation of
the General and Extraordinary Cortes in 1810—
a recollection el hich will influence the present
Cortes to imitate the virtues of the illustrious
deputies who composed that assembly. Though
the matters to be discussed are important, and

will be highly advantageous to the nation, yet
still more and greater benefits will result from
the present asembling of the Cortes. His Ma-
jesty, by voluntarily meeting the representatives
of the nation; again ratifies his solemn engage 7
ments, and receives in the face of the world une-
quivocal testimonies of mutual love and confi-
dence. The Spanish nation, which equally
abhors despotism and anarchy, though d:sirOUs!
of liberty, asks only such liberty as may be
founded on the laws, and never degenerates into
licentiousness ; it 1011 have no government but a
limited Monarchy, such as the Constitution has
established .; and it entertains the most unbound-
ed love and respect towardzhis Majesty's sacred
and inviolable person. These are the sentiments
of the nation and of its representatives ; they
are duly appreoiated by his Majesty, and it may
be reasonably expected that from so happy a
union will flow immense advantages to the
tip apish nation, and an admirable example to
other nations, who well may learn from it the
harmony of the constitutional system,: and of
liberty with monarchy and order! The Pre-
sident having concluded with -an arslent wish for
the continuance of the happy union between the
King and his people, and for the perfect conso-
lidation of the constitutional system, his Majesty
rose, accompanied by the deputation, and retired
to the palace amidst the applauses of the specta-

_tors in the galleries, who, as his Majesty passed,
broke out into 'the most lively acclamations.—A
Committee was their appointed to draw up an
answer to-his Mvjesty's speech, and the assembly
adjourned till the following day.
In the Sitting of the 29th, the Cortes were
engaged chiefly in matters of form, such as ap-
pointing Committees, &c..
The sitting of the 30th was chiefly devoted to
the discussion of the plan for the new division of
the Spanish Jerritory.. kis proposed to retain
the names of the ancient provinces, but to divide
them into districts, each of which shall have a
Provincial Council and a Political Chief, subor-
dinate to those of the-capital of their respective
Provinces. It has met with great opposition,
and at all events will be a work of time and
difficulty.
A change of Ministry is talked of.
The late Minister of War, Lieut.-Gen.Moreno
Diaz, has been appointed Political Chief and
Commandant-General of Seville.
Senores Nunez and Mac-Crobon, two of the
chief orators of the Club of the Fontana &Oro,
have been arrested by the Political Chief. •
The nomination of General Valdes 'as Political
and Military Commandant of Cadiz is confirmed.
The Ministry has dismissed the Political Chief
of Seville for permitting the portrait of Riego
to be paraded through the streets dating two
days.
Senor'Michel Cabrara, one of the deputies, who
is returned froth America, has had a long inter-
view with• the Colonial Minister, on the subject
of these'provinces, to which it is purposed to make
overtures of peace and alliance.
The couriers travel with less security than
ever.

PAMPELUNA, OCT. 3.—The Letters we have
just received from Catalonia are• of the most
alarming nature. The yellow fever makes the
most dreadful ravages. On the 23d and 21th
ultimu 260 persons; exclusive of children; died

at Saragossa. This disorder has appeared at
Lerida, Barbastao, and many other towns in Ca-
talonia and .Arragon. it. is reported that the
whole population of Tortosa has perished, and
that Mequenenza.. and Fraya are nearly de-
populated.
SARAGOSSA, OCT. 3.—D. F. Villamor, the
principal- of the late conspiracy discovered here,
has been tried, convicted, and sentenced to eight
years' banishment in the Bulcaric isles, by the
Judge of First Instance ; be has np intention of
appealing against this sentence.
VIENNA, SEPT. 29.--The Post arrived yester-
day with letters from Constantinople up to the
10th of September, and from Smyrna, as late as
the 31st of August. All was quiet in both those
towns. We are waiting impatiently for the
answer of Russia to the note sent by the Reis-
Effendi to Petersburg.. _ _

The Grand Treasurer has confiscated the pro-
perty of the family of the Princes Callimachi,
the last of the Farrariotes. It is hence con-.
eluded that the head of this family, exiled in
Asia, has been strangled. Letters from Bucha-
rest of the 16th September confirm this event.

According to letters from Zante of the 14th of
September, the Turkish, Egyptian, and Algerhw
combined fleets have entered Calamatta, in the
Morea,
.with provisions and munitions of war for
the Ottoman garrisons, and proclaiming in all parts
the amnesty published by the Divan. The Eng-
lish.at. Corfu give et-O.& assistance:to the fleet:

OCT. I.—The exchange -of couriers between
our Court and that of Constantinople, is very fre-
quent. Dispatches Of importance have been re-
ceived from the Austrim) lUternuncio, but their
contents have not transpired.
A letter from Petersburgh brought by the mes-
senger to-day states, that the. Emperor of Russia
quitted that rzpital on the 19th September, to
proceed to his army on the Iron-tiers of Turkey.
ODESSA, SEPT. 14.--We learn from Peters-
burgh, under date the 4th of Si,ptember, that. the
Emperor Alexander., has thstructed the Count
Capo d'lstria to communicate.to all the European
Powers the contents of the last notes exchanged
between Russia and the Porte. He has declared
to the Courts of London and Vienna, that he
cannot consider the condition of Turkey, which
they have represented as perfectly peaceable, to
be sufficiently consolidated to restore his
formerly fiiendly relations with the Porte. The
Emperor declares, that he,has , not altered his
pacific sentiments, manifested at Lay bach, and
that he replied in strict Conformity with
those sentiments,
,to the notes of the Porte,
complaining of the conduct of the Baron de
Strogonoti, in the- hopes that 'the Sultan
would comply with hiS just demands. But
the EMperor at the same time declines the offered
mediation of Austria and England, on the same
principle which induced him to leave the resto-
ration of tranquillity in Italy to Austria alone. .If
any fresh persecutions of the Christians take place,
the Emperor will lie under the necessity of oecu-
pying,provisicinally,Moldaviaand Walachia with_
his troops: • •
There is little appearance of the quick advance
of our troops, for subseqUent to this declaration
fresh negociations have been opened with the
Porte. .

FRANE:FORT,'OCT. s.—li is remarked that the
Part ; in the firinan which it has addressed to'
all the Pachas anir Governors of Provinces;
,en-
joins them to prcitect - the Greeks and other.
Christian subjects of Turkey. The Isle of Samos,
Ipsara, Hydria, and .Spezzia, are formally ex-.
cepted. from that species of amnesty, -in conse-
quence of their having been the first to yaise the
standard of revolt, and, their organizing a great
maritime force. It is said this exception has dis.;
pleased theltussian Cabinet.-,--Letters from Berlin
state that great preparations are making in theßoyal
Palace there, as well as at Potsdam, to receive
his Majesty the King ,of England. The arrival
of couriers at Berlin, passing backwards and for-
wards between St. Petersburgh, London, and
Paris, has never been so frequent as at-this time,
whence it is inferred that we shall know in a

very few days if 'peace with Tuikey will be
maintained, or if war will break out. The Rus-
sian army desires it as well as-all the people of
Germany, .whose Wishes in favour of the Greeks
are every where loudly expressed.
IlAsiautton, OCT. 6.-7.ewi from Jutland has
been received, stating that about 30 vessels be-
longing to the Netherlands are entangled in the
ice in those seas, aild that several' others have
been wrecked on the coasts of the island, whither
they have been driven by the floating masses of
ice.-----The Admiralty at NiColajlw have received
orders to have all the ships of war ready for sea.
LEGHORN, ,SEPT. 2.B.—We hear from Malta
that a Declaration of the English Government
'is expected there,.stating ;that it will treat as
pirates all arrned.vessels sailing under a flag not
acknoWledged'hy Ore'European Powers.
The English line-Of-battle ship Rochefort ar..
rived here from Malta in six days :. it will sail
agaiti for the lattet liaktd-rnorroW.
WARSAW, SEPT, 17.-1-The Minister Secretary
of State', Brigadier General Kostechi, has written
a military work, respecting a plan of attack upon
Turkey. The Emperor has accepted the dedi-
cation, and 'the" Grand Duke Constantine, to
whom the General _presented his plan, received
it in a very favourable manner. • '
It is said that Russia means to put in motion
three armies, besides the.. reserve ; the :first
marches direct 'on • Constantinople.; the second,
80,000 strong, is proceeding to Borcha, the plains
of Philippi and Macedonia, to co:operate with
the Greeks ; and the third will leave the banks
of the Phari to gO from the east to the west, and
form a junction with the troops which shall then
he near Constantinople, after having traversed Asia
Minor, and drawn the Turks from the coasts of
the Black Sea and the Bosphorus, which will
throw open the route to Smyrna. If this plan is
really designed, it is thought that it will not take
a long time to execute ; but other political con-
siderations must be attended to.

Letters were received from St. Petersburgh on
Saturday, dated the 18th ult., which state that
the exchange had advanced very considerably ;
it was at Q 5-16,

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, Ot'r.l3.

ADMIRALTY -OFFICE, OCT. 9, 1821.

Rear-Admiral the Hon.
Sir 3IExnY Br. ~cs-
WOOD, Commander-in-Chief of his MAJEsTy's
ships in the'East Indies, has transmitted to JOHN
WILSON CuoicEu, Esq. two letters which he'had
received from Capirtin Lumt.r.-Y, of his Alajty's
ship Topaze, date 4 NOtha„the 13th of Decein:.
her and `2oth of January last, of which the fol-
lowing are copies
His Majesty's Snip Topaze, elf Mocha, Dec.l3, 1320.
Sin-1 have the honour to inform you, that having received
the communications of the Hon. the Governor in couneil at
Bombay, far the guidance.of my conduct in-demanding satis-
faction for insults and indignities offered by the Government of
Mocha to the British flag, I sailed from Bombay on the 19th
of November with the expedition which had been equipped,
and of which I bud assumea the command.

On my- arrival here on the' 3d instant, I immediately com-
municated with Mr. Bruce, the Hon. Company's Agent, who
had been appointed to assist me in this service, and. finding
from his representatiOns that he had abandoned all hopes of
pacificatory arrangement, and that none but coercive measures
would have the effect of inducing the Government of Mocha to
accede to the demands of the British Government, on the re-
ceipt of his letter, recommending the adoption' of those mea-
sures to nip, and considering that it would tend. to the benefit
of the British interests, I lost no time in placing the squadrOn
in the best possible position ; and through the assistanee'of Mr.
A. J. Russel, Master, (of whose professional abilities I cannot
speak too highly), in laying down buoys, I was enabled, on the
same afternoon, to see the squadron advantageously disposed
of, beyond my most sanguine expectations, off the forts and
town of 31oeha. At 40 minutes past 7on the morning of the
4th, I annmenced action, and kept up a Spirited and well-
directed fire against them until Zto minutes past twelve, when
the enemy- sent off a flag -of truce ; I then ceased firing, and
gave Fultee Ilassain, the Dola, two hours •to consider of the
terms that had been proposed ; at fifty minutes past two, the
terms not having been answered, I rerbininenced action, and
the enemy having abandoned the North fort, I directed , the
boats. of the squadron to be manned and armed ; and at, five •
o'clo‘l they left the ship' under the command 'of LieUtenant
NV illiam 31oriarty, of the Topaze, iUr the purpose of spiking the
guns and blowingup the North fort ; before, however; the boats
could reach the shore, the enemy succeeded in repossessing them-'.
selves of it, and occupied it in-force Lieutenant William- Mo-.
riarty, notwithstanding, proceeded to land, and advanced with,
the most daring intrepidity up to the walls of the fort, under a'
heavy 'and most annoying tire of nmsquetry ; finding himself un-.
able, after repeated attempts, to force an entiance by any -means,
and
_consii ing that all further eilbrts would be unavailing, and
wily tend to increase the great loss which they had already sus..
tained, he felt himself under the necessity of retreating to. the
Loats ; which operation was covered in a very handsome man-
ner by Mr. Charles Napier, Master's Mate, and Mr. Francis
Adniralty Midshipman, in the barge and launch of the
Topaze. '
When I remark to you, that every Officer disembarked on
this service from the Topaze were either killed or wounded, you
will be able to appreciate the gallantry and deviitionivith which
they led their men to the attack and though it was not crown--
t t ,vith the success it merited, their conduct deserves the high-'
est praise.

~.mongst the killed I have to regret the loss of Lieutenant R..
G. Atkinson, of the Royal -Marines.' a most gallant and men-.
torious officer ; Mr. C. P. Gill, who had conspicuously distin-'
guished himself; and Mr. F. S. Burnett, a young officer of the
highest promise.
In the number wounded are Lieutenants Wright and Mori-
arty; Mr. Alexander Morton, Boatswain, a most zealous Offi-
cer ; Ste:phens, Admiralty Midshinfrian, and who
has served long and ivith 'credit, and whom I beg leave to re-
commend to your protection ;. and Mr. Robert Ward, Admir-
alty Midshipman, mortally, since dead, a deserving and gallant
Officer. The skill arid attention which has been shewn by Mr.
James Foy, Surgeon, and Nlr. Willirku Porteous, ASsiStant,
surgeon, towards the wounded, merit my warmest praise. •
In the evening, I had ordered the Benares and Antelope,
cruizers, to sl,ift their birth, abreast of the town, to protect the
bomb-vessel, which had' been throwin shells half-hourly 'dur-
ing the day. The precision with which-the mortar-had-been
fired was, at 9 o'clock, marked by the breaking out of the flames
in the town. It continued burning until 30 minutes past 3 in
the morning. The conduct or _Lieutenant and Adjutant Jacob,
of the Artillery, was highly praiseworthy, and claims my grate-
acknowledgments. Ile speaks most highly of the detach-
ment of Artillery' under his command.
On the morning of the "at thirty minutes ppt 7, the
enemy again hoisted a flag of truce, and inconsequence of the
DOla having delivered hostages to ensure their compliance with
cur demands,- I -consented to a truce of fourteen days, and have
every reason to.conclude that every thing. will be satisfactorily
Settled as soon as the 'courier who has been dispatched to Sfinna

Can return. • •
During.the whole course of the operations at this place, ren-
dered extremely arduous from the violence with which the wind
has blown, and the consequent difficulty of carrying them- on, 1
have derived from Lieutenant Wilkie, First Lieutenant of this
ship, all the assistance which I could have anticipated from an
Of:leer of his abilities and experience.
To Captains Faithful and Robson, commanding the Ho-
nourable Company's cruizers Benares and Antelope; Captain
Jones, commanding the Ernard, Company's store-ship, and
Lieutenant Elwin, of the Thames, Company's mortat-boat, I
ant highly indebted for their zealous and active co-oPurations.
They report most fully of the conduct of their crews.
In calling your particular attention, to the.distinguished con-
duct of'Lieutenant Moriarty, l-fed Myself %uite.unable to ren-
der justice to his merits, and I therefore take the liberty of re--
questing you will be pleased to recommend. him to the Lords
Commissioners of tile Admiralty.

Sen—ln continuance of myietter of the 13th ult., I have the
honour to congratulate you on the success which has since at.
tended the exertions of the squadron under my command, and
the satisfactory termination of its labours at MoCha.
• The anticipations I had indulged in, of being able to adjust
amicably the difibrences subsisting between the Covernment of
India and his Highness the linaum of Senna, and which I had
been induced to form from the apparent anxiety expressed by
the Dola to coincide with all our• wishes, gradually dissipated
before the evasive delays by which he endeavoured to prolong
the term of the time, and whieh (out of a spirit of conciliation)
had drawn from me a coacessioa of five days beyond the
stated period. Sufficient having been done on my part to evince
the friendhness.of our disposition, it became myduty to shew
that we were not to be made the dupes of Arab cunning, and
every thing being prepared for resuming hostilities,- should it
become necessary, at four o'clock on the afternoon of -the 25th,
I ordered the flag of truce to be struck, with the intention of
recommencing the attack as early -next morning as day-light
would permit.
• The interval. of the truce had been. well employed in .aseer-
taining.the best approaches,- and on the the Ilenares, An.
telope, and Thames mortar boat -had been warped into a chin-
nei round a spit projecting from the north, fort, and placed on

Thus prepared, on the morning of the-26th inst., 31r. Rus-
sel (Master); with a party of seamen to work the guns of the
-Thames, the launch and. -barge; for the. purpose of enfilading
the beach, and at ten minutes past six A. AI. the squadron
opened its fire against the nWth fort; it was instantly returned
-from- the north and south fotts, bunda, five gun, and north gate
batteries. The peculiarly destpictive encts of a cross fire were
in ten irinutes made manifest by the silence of the fort, and by
ten o'cick compelled the enemy to abandon it; they retreated
to the number of 150, exposed to a most galling fire of .grape
and cannister from the in-shore squadron, under which they
snared seVerely. At twenty minutes past ten I went in-shore
on board the Benares, and Lieut. Jacob having reported that
there weee tw'o.practicable breaches, I made the signal for the.
boats, and sent them with the detachment of 31aiines, Bombay
Artillery, and SepoyS of the squadron, under the command of
Liet:t. Moriarty, to take possession and• destroy. it; the whole
fire of the enemy. was turned on our people while employed on
this service, but th;: feelings which gave energy to their eon-
dqet were not to be impeded by any difficulties, and the celerity
with which they pulled to laud, the cool, deliberate style in
which they formed on the beach,. and the steady order in which
they Marched into the fort, -in two divisions by the difident
breaches, excited my warmest admiration. I at noon enjoyed
the satisfaction of witnessing the display of the British flag
flying croin the battlements ; at.three our people again em-
barked, having spiked all the guns, destroyed the carriages,
formed and sprung three deep fougasseS, which at- twenty
minutes past three burst with a dreadful exylosion, reducing
the whole too. complete mass of shapeless ruins. The Thames
was employed this whole night throwing shells, with an effzet
corresponding to the precision with which they were projected.
The demolition of the north fort having been thus accom-
plished, it became my next concern to turn our force against the.
south one, but the extreme violence of the wind prevented my
getting the vessels into position before the eyenins of the 9th,

and the depth of Water would not admit of the'T'opaze's being.
hauled sufficiently close to hatter it with advantage; her fire
was however useful in keeping in check that of the enemy from
the different batteries in the town ; and the brisk one preserved
by the cruisers required no addition to obtain the desired end.
During the days of the 27th, 28th, and 20th, we had been par-
tially engaging, and on the 30th at sun rise again opened our
cannonade with effect, answering in description to that prac-
tised before. It was returned from the youth fort, bunda, five
gun, and south mosque batteries; At 30 minutes past nine the
enemy to the number of 200 or 300 were constrained to retire,
as formerly, under a galling fire of grape.
The different detachments were again . landed under the
command of Lieutenant Moriarty, whom I sent on shore for
that purpose ' • and at thirty minutes past ten, by hoisting his
Majesty s colours, I observed he had gained possession of it.
The work of destruction was once more proceeded in, and
perfected a few minutes before one, by the explosion of five
foug-asses which had been sprung, reducing the fort entirely to
a heap of rubbish. The Thames was employed throwing shells
(in consequence of Lieutenant Jacob having been . severely
wounded), under the supeyintendance of Mr. Russel. On the
morning-of, the- 31st the enemy commeneed-firitT from - all_
town batteries at the squadron, and a partial engagement 'lms
sustained. As I, however, had no longer any object in expos-
ing the squadron, I ordered the cruisers and bomb out of range,
and in the afternoon shifted the Topaze out also.
The submission of the enemy relieved me from any embar-
rassment as to my. further 'proceedings. Ameer eFathullah, •
who had been particularly deputed by the Imaum to treat with
us, arrived on the 28th and assumed the Government of Mocha-
Having evinced the inutility of opposing us, and foreseen the
ruin imprnding over his country, through • the removal of its
trade, and the interruption of its suppEes; he began to consider
it wiser to adopt every me.ins of- regaining ottf friendship, and
with a view of obtaining this -ertL sent off, on the Ist instant, a
deputation of merchants to iptreat a eesreation of hostilities,: anee,l
at the same time to say, if acceded to, he Would hiniselfconie of
the next morning to wait on Capt Bruce and show the powers
under which he was authorised to act.

The returns of the killed and wounded you will receivehere- ,
with. I rejoice to soy they 'are not so severe as might have
been expected from the opposition we experienced; and the'
wounded, through. the skill and attention of I,lf. boy, surgeon,
and Mr. Porteous, assistant, axe dl doing well.
I have great pl-nsure in aCqUainting pit 'of the' coriliiaa
which has-subsisted between CaTitlin Bruce and ,ys•elf, an
the great benefit the public service has' derived from his
have the honour, to be, &c.
