The skill, judgment, perseverance, and patience
which have disaogiiished the conduct of Colonel

ployed, cannot fail to attract the particular notice of

Officer still continued to be directed against the
enemy's supplies, and such of his new positions us
might be found to be assailable.

Stn-0.1 the 9,7,h I it.td the honour to rern-t to
you the arrival of the 2.i battalion of the 7th Native
Inf.:nary and the 18-pounders in this camp.
Our position in view of the font bad c,nopellecl the
enemy to bring their supplies from the eas.ward by
circuitous routes, but my information led me to hope
that the p)ssession of three points in front t)f our
right would entirely cut off their supplies from rat-
LTpore. and generally Iron) the interior. In conse-
quence I directed Leutenant•Colottel Tliotno-son to
inarch soon as it was dark on the night of the 27th,
and disloige the etiemy froth the stockades t. ey had
erected on two of those points, awl to fbecupy sad
marntain a third which they had neglected.
Lieutenant-Colonel Thompson had with him four.

teen companies, two six-pounders and two howitzers
of the mountain 'rib), and a force of iireolars
amounting to at least a thousand, but calculated at
tsselve hundred matchlocks. From the bacr,st of
the road, or rather footpaths, and tire great &shod-
ties encountered, it was not till a late liOur in tie
morning of the 23th that Lieutenant-Co►l in I 1
son reached the firstpuint he was instructed to attack,
and Cult was found so inacces►ible, and so very much
stronger than my information bad given me reason
to ezve.tt, that he very judiciously determined not to
risk the chance of an instantaneous assault, hut to
make use of his artillery. Ills let:er which I have
the honour to inclose, together with a copy of my
instructions, details his proceedings from that date,
And renders it only necessary fur me to express my
approbation of Lieutenant-Colonel Thonspson's con-
duct, and entire satisfaction with that of the deta,ll-
- in gelieral.
k would, however, he unjust not to mention, that

the reports I receNce; from Lieutenant Lawtie, En.
gineer,of the very g.eat lab',ur and fatigue sustained
with cheerfulness by the pioneers, induced me to ez•
press to Captain Baines, Lieutenant Armstrong, and
their miters, who set them the meritorious eximple,
my particular thanks, and to send a pecuniary Bona.
tion to-the men.
Lieutenant Lawtie, with his accustomed zeal, ac.
companied the detkchment, and on this as on every
occasion, deserves my highest consideiatioa ; hum
' him I have the honour to transmit a slight sketch of
the ground and point of attack.
' • It remains only to add, that the enemy no sooner
perceived the movement to the tight, and co,:zerst-
plated ice obvioas object, thin they evacuate.: all

of the 2d battalion Sd r4giment, native infantry, two

of the hill with the light battalion and four conva.
'ales of the 2d battalion 3a regiment, to gain posses-
sion of the ridge on my left, immediately opposite to
the enemy's stone stockade; from this ridge the
stockade is about 700 yards, with four different

heights intervening.
The enemy having come out so far as the nearest
hill to the ridge, began to-open a fire of matchlocks
upon our party as they proceeded up the heights. On
our gaining pOtrestion of a high part of the ridge,
the enemy evacuated their position upon the oppo-
s;!:• hill, and being instantaneously pursued by our
troops, they flectsuceeisively over the whole of the

His Majesty's ship Malta, before Guts, July 211.
MY Loan—l informed your Lordship in my letter
of the 15th instant, that the Austrian batteries would
be ready on the 17th.
Having previously agreed with the Austrian Ge-
neral on the plan of attack on the pan of the flotilla,
they took their positions at three o'clock, and at day-
light the thing commenced simultaneously (the first
gun from the batteries being die signal) and conti.
tilted without intermissiou till past six, when the boats
were drawn off to replehish their ammunition and
relies') the men. At one o'clock the attack was re.
newel, and cont;nned till the expenditure of the am-
monition obliged us to retire. This was speedily
*applied, and the flotiil t in readiness to return to
ir posiiione • when the Austrian lire ceased, and I
soon alter received a letter from the General ac-
quainting me that his batteries had been neat ly ruined,
bait that they weuld be restored and ready to renew
their fire at three o'clock the nest morning.
The flotilla accorditigly rock their position in the
eig%t, and at the hour tix.d a heavy tire was recom-
menced on all sides, and only ceased on ours for the
ware: of ammunition ; at six o'clock we were soon in
a state id ,}.:urn to our posts ; but the Austrian batte-
rits had been again knocked up, and it was now com-
pletely evideat that they were too tczole to product
thu desired effect, or to support -tor any time the sa-
penor the which the enemy opposed to them from his
eimunanding position. Tie hai.l,• however,
been ordered to persevere for Circe days, and we
therefore agreed to make a alai effort far thatitight.
At eleven o'clock the attack teas renewed, and conti-
nued till day-light. LI .!I: these 'attacks the enemy's
:he from the sea fac:: e! las works was completely
silenced.
Tee conduct of tin:. :estilla throughout the opera-
dohs here, a;.d particularly in the more reklt and

to the extaaordieary itnerposition of Peovionetat that
have the happitiese of unclosing so small a list of
casualties. .
I have uniformly received from Captain Brace the
most able and friendly assistance; mut my best thanks
are ale; due to Colonel Rubinson fer the c

of Gaeta an account of Bonaparte's surrender, which
having biro done, I have now the pleasure to ac-
quaint your Lordship, that its led to communications
which terminated in the submissi ,n of that fortress
yesterday: At six p. m. the Sea-gate was taken
possession of by the Marines of his Majesty's ship
under my command, and the others by the Austrian
and Sicilian troops; and this day the garrison march-
ed out, and were disposed of according to the terms
of submission ( t copy of winch is herewith transruit-
ted); the four first articles having been dictated by
his Sicilian Majeaiy.
Inventories are taking ; but as they will employ
some time, 1 do not. think it necessary to wait till
they are finished, as Colonel Robin,on, who is ap-
pointed on our part, will remain, and send a copy
when completed. There ate two hundred and twenty-
seven pieces of ordnance ; one hundred and titry-two
of which are mounted, and provisions remaining ILI
near three months.
In acquainting your Lordship with tl e conclusion
of this service, I cannot deny myself the
of again expressing my sense of the zealous assistance
afforded to me by Captain Brace, while heeontimied
under my orders, and Colonel Robinson`, who did so
to the last moment; and without meaning to attach,
more importance or merit to the operations in which
we have been engaged, than they -may be fairly con-
sidered to deserve, I yet venture to express my hor,
that your. Lordship will feel yourselt at litterty to
Face them in such a 'Wit befole my L'irtls Com.
