DOWNING-STREET, JANUARY 20. _
A Disp4tch, of which the following is an-extract;
has been this day received by E,itrl Bathurst, address.
ed to his Lordship by Field-Marshal the Marquess of
Wellington, dated

St. Jean de Luz, January 9, 1814.
The enemy collected a considerable force
.on the
Gave in the beginning of the week,' and on the 3d
instant drove in the cavalry* picqueti between the
Joyeuse and Bidouze rivers, and attacked the post of
Major-General Buchan's Portuguese, brigade on the
Joyeuse, near La Bastide, and those of the Sd divi-
sion in Bouloe. They turned the right of Major-
General Buchan's brigade on the height of La Costa,
and obliged him to retire towards Briscons : and they
established two divisions of infantry on the height,
and in La Bastide, with tke remainder of the army
ou the Bidouze and the Gave. -
Our centre and right were immediately concen-
trated and prepared to move ; and-having reconnoi-
tred the enemy on the 4th, I intended to have at-
tacked them on the sth instant; bUt was obliged to
defer the attack till the 6th, owing to the badness of
the weather, and the swelling of the rivulets. The
attack was made on that day by the 3cl and 4th divi-
sions, under the command of Lieutenant-General
Sir Thomas Picton, and Lieutenant-General Sir
Lowry Cole, supported by Major.Generl Buchan's
Portuguese brigade of General Le Carts division,
and the cavalry, under the command of Major Ge-
neral Fane; and the enemy were forthwith dislodged,
without loss on our side, and our posts replaced where,
they-had beep.
My last reports, from Catalonia are of the 24th
ultimo ; nothing extraordinary had occurred.

SlR—The enclosed narrative will convey to their
- Lordships the details of a gallant enterprise, very
ably directed by Captain Sir Josias Rowley, and most
zealously executed ley the force under his command,
in co-operation with the battalion of Colonel Cata-
nelli, who made a descent on the coascof Italy, un-
der a hope of surprising Leghorn.
The loss sustained in this'afiiir has been inconside-
rable, when compared with that of the enemy. lam
sure their Lordships will do ample justice to the me-
rits of, Sir Josias, and the captains; officers, searnert
and marines, engaged in this spirited service.

His Majesty's Ship America, off Leghorav
15th December, 181$. , •
Sitt—l have the honour to inform you, that in puxi
nuance of my preceding commtinicatidn to you from,
Palermo, I sailed thence on the 29th Wu in company
with the Termagant, and anchored at Melazzo one
the following night, where• having joined the ship
named in the margin 6, and efrnbarked onboard them
on the following day the troops of the Italian levy,
amounting to about one thousand men," under the
command of Lieutenant Colonel Catapelli, we sailed
the same evening, and. arrived on the coast of Italy,
off Via Reggio, on the 9th instant : having' fallen ill
with the Armada atcl Imperieuse or the north of
Corsica. I detained them to assist us in getting the
troops On shore, Having anchored With the :gin-
dron of the town, the troops and field pieces "fere
immediately-landed ; a small party of the enemy
having evacuated the place on a summons that had
beets sent in, and possession was takynof two eighteen
• and one Ig-pounder guns, which defended the en-
, trance of the river. The Lieutenant-Colonel pro.
circled immediately to Lucca, which place w'assur-
rendered to 11M1 at twelye the same night. The fol-
lowing nay a detachment of forty royal marines from
this ship; under Captain Rea, was sent to a signal
atatinn to the northward,. wLich on his threatening to
storm, surrendered to him, and eleven men who de-
fended it were made- prisoners ; he found it to be a
-castle of considerable, size and strength, walled and
ditched, and capable of-containing near one'thousand
Inca. On receiving this report, I sent Mr. Bazar"
Retie, sefrior I.,ientenant of the America, who with' a
few barrels of powder completely destroyed it, brin-
ing off a brass nine-pounder gun, which was mounted
- in the castle, Parties from the Irhperieuse and Fo-
rmate alscibrought off two other brass guns from the
beach to the northward and southward of the town,
those at the landing place having also been embarked.
'1 he Lieutenant-Colusteld
rotjudging it advisable
to continue at Lucca, had given me notice of his in-
tended return to Via Reggio, where, he artived on the
morning of the 12th, and signiried his intention to
proceed in another direction.
Not conceiving my stay with this ship any longst- ne-
cessary, I had made arrangements for leaving the
- Edinburgh, Finieuse, and Termagant, under the or.
ders of Captain pundas, to keep up (ifinacticafile)
a communication with the troops, and purposed sailing
. to rejoin your flag ns soon as k was dark, when towards
sunset we perceived a firing at the town, and found
that,thi troops were attacked by. a force of about sin
• hundred cavalry and infantry, with a-howitzer and
tads field pieces.
They consisted of a detaihmcnt from the garrison
of Leghorn, which had been joined on its march by
some troops at Pisa; the Lieutenant-Colonel corn.
pletely routed them, with the loss of their guns and
bowitaer, and a c,onsiderabla ,number of killed,
wounded, and prisoners ; the remainder' retreated in
much confusion towards Pisa.
littormation having been obtained from the pri-
soners of the weak state of the garrison 4-Leghorn,.
the Lieutenant-Colonel proposed to me to intercept
the return of the rowed troops, by preceedigg immer
diately off Leghorn, in the tropes that b/ chewing
ourselves in as much force as possible, the inhabk.
tants, who, it was supposed, were maned to receive
us, might mains Mane movement in air favour, and
chit we might atvail ourselves of any ?tragical* open-
tng to force our way into the place.
I acceded to this- proposal, aO4 the troops were;
immediately embarked in a number of country yes.
which Mere towed off beadleboats pf the prat
dion, and the whole being taken in tow ,by the 414144;
weproceedr.d the same night for Leghorn Roads;
where we anchored about three o'cloc on the fort

lowing day, to the northward of the town. The
Imperieuse having previously reconnoitred the best
spot for landing, the vessels were immediately towed
in share, and the troops and field-pieces landed with-
Out opposition. The boats then proceeded to land
the marines ; but the weather, which had been hi-
iherto favourable, in the course of the evening be.
came so bad, that only a part could be got onshore;
and I regret to state that the pinnace of the America
was swamped, and Lieutenant Moods' (a most valu-
able officer) and two seamen were drowned. Early
In the morning the remainder were landed, and pro-
ceeded to the positions assigned them,
The corps of the enemy which had been defeated
at Via Reggio, was a second time reinforced at Pisa,
and at this period made an attack on our marines
Without the tower. I beg to refer you to Captain
Dundas's report, for the particulars of their defeat.
The Lieutenant-Colonel suggested, as a proper time
after this advantage, to summons the commandant,
which was accordingly done, but an answer returned
that he would defend himself.
The gates of the town had been closely examined
during this day and the preceding night, to ascertain
the practicability of forcing an entrance, but that, or
any other means of immediate attack not being con-
sidere4 practicable against a place so strong and re-
gularly fortified, and there not appearing any move-
ment of the inhabitants in our favour, the precariogs
and threatening state of the weather, a change of
which would have preventettall communication with
the ships, rendered it expedient toreimbark the-whiale
without delay-is-hi very great, exertions this was
fected in the best order during the night, and party
the following morning, in very severe weather, with-.
out any molestation from the enemy.
On returninikfrenn the shore •to the America at
sunset,. I found *a depntation from the Mayor and in-
habitants of the town, who had been permitted by
the Commandant to come off with t flag of truce, to
petition, us to ceas^ our fire .from the housest he
having threatened to dislodge us by' setting fire to
the suburbs-as arrangements were already made for
embarking, I consented to a cessation of firia; on
both sides till eight the next morning; a•favoura
circumstance for us, the troops on their march to the
boats being exposed to a fire from the ramparts.
I have very great satisfactiUn in reporting to yop
the zeal and good conduct of all the officers, seismal
and marines, employed on the above-mentioned
services. '
To Lieutenant-Colonel Cittanelli every praise is
due, for his able and indefatigable exertions, and
feel thankful for his cordial cc,-operation. The con-
duct of the troops'of the Itali.sa Leyy, both for bra!,
very and discipline in the field, and the cheerful-
ness with which they endured the constant exposure
in boats, in the most severe weather, excited our ad-
miration.
I am much indebted to Captain Grant for hie able.
adflce and assistance ; to the Honourable Captain
Duudas, who undertook the direction of the marines
and seamen ; and to. Captain Hamilthn, who'ralun-
teered his services on shore, my thanks are particu-
larly due, for the gallant manner in which they co*
ducted them ; and I feel mtich indebted to the kio-
nourable Captain Duncan for the ready and use*
,assistancehe afforded me on every occasion. ~
Captain Mounsw when the landihg was effec
had moved with the Furicuse and Termagant
rto watch the motions of three brigs of war lying in
the outer mole, but which afterwards moved into the,
inner one, the crews having landed to assist in the
defence of the place..
Captain Dunn was indefatigable in his exertions
at the landing place, and I feel called upon so notice
' the goOd conduct of the officers and crews of the boats
through a continued and most fatiguing service. .
I beg that I may be permitted to mention the as.
sistance I received from Lieutenant Baaalgette, senior
of this ship, a most deserving officer; and to notice
'the conduct of Mr. Bromley, the surgeon, who vo-
lunteered his services on shore with the troops.
I herewith enclose a list, of the killed and wounded,
and am happy to say our loss is much smaller than
might have been expected. I have no account of
that of the Italian levy, but I believe it is not con-
4derable. There have been no corr'ect returos of
prisoners, but Captain Dunda.s informs mer that above
SOU have been taken in the two affairs.
I have the honour to be, &c.

December 13,..1a!3.
Sea—ln obedience to
.your directions, Captain Ha-
milton and myself landed on the evening at the ISth
H ith the marines of his Majesty's ships wooed in the
margin,* to co-operate with Lieutenant-C.clonel
tanelli. We pushed on that evening with the advance
of the marines and Italian levy, and got possession
of the suburbs ot the town of Leghorn. The extreme
darkness of the night, and the road being nearly im-
passable, prevented the body of the troops, joining
until the morning ; the moment a sufficient number
had come up, in compliance with theLient.-Coionel's
arrangements, the Italians occupied the suburbs,land
buildings close to the ramparts ; the marines occu-
pied a position on ifie.Pisa road ; as soon afteeday-
light as possible, we reconnoitred the town- r'just as
we had Anished, and were returning from the south-
ern part of the town, ,a hiring was heard in 'the direc-
tion of the Pisa road, where we proceeded instantly,
and found the marines were at that moment att.acked
by.,&a considerable body of the enemy's troops, cony
saTing of at least seven hundred men, cavalry and
.infantry, supported by two field-pieces ;--.the charge
Of thu cavalry was J'edFircA with great coolness by
the marines, they opened and allowed them to pass,
killing all but about fourteen, who. .with two officers,
succetaked in getting through. but who were all killed
or wouuded; excepting one officer, by a small detach-
ment of the Italian levy, that was formed at the eri-
!ranee of the sittsurbs of the sown. Alter the charge
.of die caralry, the marines instantly closed laid
charged the enemy's infantry?, and put'them entireli
to the rout ; they lost in des affair ' the officers com-
manding their cavalry and.infintry, with about fini?,
two hundred and fifty to three headied k!ilecif!
wounded, and priaoners ; the remainder retreated in
the greatest disorder to Pisa.
In this aff4 ki
ir my most panic:liar thapf:s are due
to Captain A. UM, who, I all lorry to say, iF

Captain's Rea and Mitchell, of the Murk* znd

officers, and privates, all•possible credit is due for re-
pelling the attack,' and putting to route the enemy,
who were certainly double their force; the marines
lost, on this occasion, one killed and seven wounded.
The Italian levy who were on 'the houses close
round the ramparts, as well is those in the advance,
were indefatigable in their exertions, and their bra-
,very was truly conspicuous on all occasions. The
~enemy suffered by the destructive fire they kept up
'on the ramparts, killing or wounding those who at-
tempted to come near the guns.
It being arranged between you and the Lieute-
nant-Colonel that we should reitnbark, the wounded
and prisoners, with our two field-guns and ammuni-
tion, *ere embarked at twelve o'clock last night,
marched off in the hest possible order, through bad
roads and incessant rain.
I beg to offer. my thanks to Lieuteitant-Colonel
Catanelli, for his attention in pointing out what he
wished to be done by us to forward his plan. My
thanks are due to Captain Dunn, of the Mermaid, for
forwarding every thing- from the beach to us in ad-
