the harbour, but along the &bre as' far as the bottom
of the bay, close to which- the -Russian ships were
moored.
Under these circumstances it was fodnd impossible
to attack them, without the certain destruction of the
Combined Fleet, which might have got in, but could
not have returned.. Considerable hopes were at one
time etitertiined• that fire-ships Might be successfully
employed against the enemy ;, but the Russian Ad-
miral, apprehensive of an attack of this kind, had so
covered his fleet with lionsb-vessels, that it was found
impossible to have irecattrie to these means for de.
stroying 'it. The THUNDER bomb, however, blew
up one of the enemy's magazines of powder, and did
other considerable misehlet . •
A knowledge of the characters of the Officers em-
ployed on this service, precludes the possibility of
doubt, that every thing which professional talent or
personal bravery could suggest, has been attempted
on the occasion.
Although it gives us sincere concern to find, that
the anxiety and fatigue to which Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ
has been exposed in the zealous discharge of his duty,
has had considerable effect on his health, we are truly
happy to add that this gallant Officer was much
better when the last accounts tame away, and in a fair
way of recovery. •
The answer to the dispateltei Wrought by Captain
MARTIN was sent off by a Messenger on Saturday to
Yarmouth, to be forwarded to Sir JAMES SAUMAREIL
The following account of the very gallant defence
of his Majesty's sloop KITE, when opposed to a force
seven times her own, is given in a letter from one of
the Officers, who belongs to Glasgow, and who, we
lament to say, had his leg shot off in the action :
" On board the Kite, off the Great Belt,
Sept. 6, 1808.
" On the 3d instant, about ten o'clock at night, fine moon-
light evening, and nearly calm, we were attacked by 20 gun-boars,
who surrounded us in a crescent. They kept up constant fire on
us for two hours. We cut our cable, made sail and returned the
fire. The enemy fired on us in every direction, sometimes raking
as fore and aft. We received 10 shot in our hull, and an immerse
