Milford, off Porto Re, July 6, 1813.
SlR—liiave the honour tä inform you, that yester-
day the squitdron under my orders moved from Fiume
to this place, and the Haughty was dispatched with
prizes to Lissa.
Captains Hoste and Marklana landed with the ma-.
tines, and found the forts abandoned by the enemy,'
who had spiked the gulas, and thrown the ammuni-'
tion, into the sea. The boats went up to Bocca
where aconvoy of thirteen sail were scuttled ; one of
t.!..em only could be recovered: Having rendered the
guns, ten in number, entirely useless, burnt the cat-
riages, and blown up the works, l.have ordered the
ships to their several stations.

Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, Bart. ice.
His Majesty's ship Elizabeth, off Omago, June 8, 1813.
SlR—Having information that the enemy were
sending three vessels, loaded with powder, along the
coast of Istria, and seeing vessels of the same des-
cription within the town of Omago, I stood in there ;
and when the Eagle and Elizabeth were within gun-
shot, I summoned the town, • which they refused to
receive.

After firing some time, the marines of this ship,
under Captain Graham and Lieutenant Thomas
Price, and of the Eagle, under Lieutenant Samuel
Lloyd, drove the enemy out of the town. They had
about 100 soldiers.
The boats, under Lieuten'ants Roberts and Bennett
of the Elizabeth, and Lieutenants Greenaway' and
Hotham of the Eagle, destroyed a two-gun battery,
and brought out four vessels, loaded with wine, that
had been scuttled.
• I am happy to say, that only one man was woun-
ded ; and the conduct of all the officers employed on
this service was highly creditable.

Hi, Majesty's ship Elizabeth, Fasanu ttuaMli, June 20.
information that some French gens-
d'armerie, who organized the militia, and Commissa-
ries that levied the contributions, resided at Dignano,
opposite the Prioni Islands, I landed fifty seamen,
under Lieutenants Roberts and Bennett, the marines,
under Captain Graham and Lieutenant Price, and
the-boats with carronades, under Lieutenant Bernard.
They wick possession of the town at day-break this
morning, made the French prisoners, and disarmed
the militia. A French Surgeon th it fired out of a
window at our people was mortally wounded.' This
is the only loss on either sick.
Great praise is due to all the offictis employed on
this service, and nothing could exceed the steadiness
Of the men.—l have the honour to be, &c.

Slit—Upon reconnt itring the coast and islands, on
the station• you did me the honour of appointing me
to, the island of Zvi= and its harboUr appeared the
only place where there were vessels of any burden,
and from information received, it was supposed some
of the List convoy with 'grain for Ragusa was still
there.

As it was only guarded by a Captain's party of
about sixty men, last night, it blowing and raining
excessive hard, I conceived it a most favourable time
of attacking it ; at nine P. M. I put off from the brig,
with the boats, and at eleven landed, with die small-
arm men and marines, to the number of forty men,
and after a very difficult march of nearly three miles,
we surprised and took prisoners the corporal's gttard
in advance, without their being able to give the alarm:
We then instantly pushed for the guardhouse, and
Commandant's quarters, which were carried by the
bayonet, and took prisoners' a Captain, commanding
the islands of Zapano and Mezzo, two serjeants, three
corporals, and thirty-three privates, with ail their arms
and ammunition, belonging to the 4th regiment (the
Lieutenant and fifteen privates escaping), which corn-
pletely put whole of the island in our possession ;
and, 1 am happy to say, without loss, and only a tew
slight bayonet wounds. The determined conduct of
The seamen and marines, headed by Lieutenants
Holmes and Hancock, made all their resistance in-
effectual.—l have the honour to be, &c.

His Majesty's ship Havannah, at Sea, June 29.
SIR—I have the honour to report the capture of an
armed convoy of the enemy, consisting of ten sail,
under the town of Vasco, on the morning of the 27th
instant, by the boats of this ship, commanded by ray
First Lieutenant Wm. Hamley.
The enemy being apprised of our approach the
preceding day, had assembled in force, and taken
every possible precaution•to prevent our getting their
vessels cff ; but having landed to the right and for-
ced them from their guns (eight in number), we re-
mained masters of the spot the whole day, until the
vessels were rigged and got afloat. This little service
has been performed with the spirit ever mauitest in
Lieutenant Hawley, my officers, and ship's ccmpany
generally, and with only three men slightly wound-
ed ; while the enemy acknowledge six killed and
seven wounded.--I have the honour to be, Btc.

Eagle, at anchor off Farasina, July 7.
Sin—Pursuant to your orders of yesterday, the
fortress of Farasina, mounting five 18-pounders, was
attacked this morning, at eleven a. m. by his Ma-
jesty's ship under my command, and after some re.
sistance, was stormed and carried by a party of sea-
men and royal marines, landed under cover of the
ship's tee, and headed by Lieutenant Greenaway,
the First Lieutenant, Lieutenant Hotham, and Lieu-
tenant Lloyd, of the royal marines.
• On the approach of our men, the enemy abandon-
ed their works, and fled to the heights immediately
above them, from whence they were driven by the
party under Lieutenant Lloyd, and separated in all
1 directions.

A position was then taken by the royal marines,
to secure the men while destroying the battery and
its out-works, and at two p. m. the whole re-embark-
ed, without suffering any other accident than Mr.
Hudson, Midshipman, slightly wounded, after. dis•

fita—t hate the. honour to inform yott, that the
batteries of Cassis have been destroyed, and the Ves•
eels as per mazgin* brought out of the Mole, or
burnt. In justice to.the brave Officers and men du,
ployed on this service, I beg leave to state a few'par•
ticulars relative to thir very meritorious conduct....
Owing to light winds, the Undaunted could not take
11e-the anchorage that I intended, therefore to Cap-
tain Coghlan, Sir John Sinclair, and the Hon. Cap- •
min Spencer, I ant entirely indebted for the success
that attended an enterprise, which for gallantry has
seldom been surpassed. Four batteries defended the
entrance of the Bay, land twogun-boats were moored
across the entrance of the Mae. The Citadel bat-
,lory could only be carried by escalade; but nothing
.conld withstand the boldness of the gallant marines,
led on by Captain Coghlan, who surmounted every
obstacle opposed to them (and of whom Captain '
Coghlan speaks in the highest terms of praise).— •
They literally drove the French before them at the
point of the bayonet, pursuing them through the
batteries to the heights that conuhand the town, leay.
ing it entirely at our merc.r. The hosts under the
direction of Sit John Sinclair, then entered.the Mole,
and in less than two hourtbronght off the-vessels.
I feel very greatly indebted to Captain Coghlan
for his able advice, and for the zeal and ability w.a-
nifested by him; likewise to Sir John Sinclair and
the Hon. Captain Spencer, for their pea:severance in
sweeping their vessels in, under a heavy fire from the
batteries, and placing them in the most judicious po-
sition to cover the marines, and to.which I attribute
in i‘ great degree our small loss.

tered the citadel battery, by a ladder, under a galling

was very gallant. I have the honour to be, &c.

The enemy lost several men in this Bole affair,
which was admirably conducted by Lieutenant Har-

on our side. The Royal Marines, led 'by "C vain

immediately bore up and followed; at halt-past ten
she came up on the larboard quarter, and hailed us to
bring to, and strike ; his decks were full' of men in
readiness for boarding. She put her helm up to lay
us alongside, we put ours down and fired tour guns,
and a volley of musketry ; the tell on board, and was
carried in the most gallant style by bu4rding.

to Dunkirk, out two days from La Hogue, had made
no captures; pierced for 18 guns, 16 mounted, with -
