Sir—l have encloted to you the copy of a letter
relative to the tranfaaions that have taken place
at Porto Fetrajo, which I requeft you will be
pleafed to lay before my Lords Commiffieners of
the Admiralty. (Signed) JOHN loatase waaatm.
Porto Ferrajo, 0at....
Sir—ln my letter of yefterday I had the ho-
nour to report to you, that the enemy had hewn
lately Come dilpofition to advance and take ground
nearer our works, and this morning 1 found they
had thrown up an entrenchment of earth and ga-
bions upon a peninfula or tongue of land within
two hunched yards of our works. I immediately
determined to dellrty the work and diflodge them
before they could have time to ftrengthen or bring
any guns upon it ; I appointed Di Biter's corps
for this fervice, with a party of pe4ants, to de-
ftroy the work, and the Maltefe corps, under.hfa-
jor WE/R, to fopport and cover them; about
eleven o'clock they trolled the ditch, drove the
enemy from the ground, and dellmyed the works.
The enemy made two or three attempts to ad-
vance in force, but were completely kept in check
by our grape (hot from the batteries, which were
admirably well ferved ; their batteries kept up a
very heavy fire of round and grape (hot, which
did us very little harm. The bufinefs being com-
pleted, the troops returned into the works, having
iWfered ineonfiderably in numbers; though we
have tolament one officer killed and three wounded.
I was a good Jeal inclined to have kept poreffiou
of the ground, but upon confederation of the
weaknefs of our forte, I thought it fcarcely tena-
ble fo clofe to the enemy's works, more efpecially
as we were advifed this morning their having
got a reinforcement of two hundred men from Pi-
ombino, two or three nights ago. I flatter myfelf,
however, they are equally convinced of their ina-
bility to keep a poft fo near uz. The enemy ad-
mit
between flay and feventy 1-illed and wound-
ed, and three offirers • and from what we could
fee onrfelves, I am perhuded they are within the
mark in this calcul ttion. I filtijoin a lift of killed
and wounded and milling. (Signed) am. aim.
