Ischia, July 9, 1809.
MY Loma—ln my dispatch of the sth inst. I had
the honour of stating to your Lordship, that Lieute-
nant-Colonel Smith had been detached after' our sailing
from Milazzo, with the 10th Regiment and Chas-
seurs Brittanniques, which were to be joined at the
Faro by the 21st Regiment, with orders to occupy
and disarm the pasts upon the Streight opposite to
Messina, upon the late retreat of the enemy upon the
first appearance of our armament upon the Coast of
Calabria.
An attempt to reduce the Castle of Scylla was at-
tended, in the first instance, with disappointinent,
from the sudden re-appearance of a large preponde-
rating force of the enemy, which constrained Lieute.,
nant-Colonel Smith to raise the siege, and embark
for Messina ; a measure which was effected, I am
happy to s ty, on the 20th ult. without the smallest
loss, but that of his besieging train, which necessarily
became a sacrifice. It fortunately, however, has
Troved a sacrifice of the moment. The official reports
from Ma;or-General Mackenzie state to me, that on
the night of the 2d inst. the enemy, from some sud-
den panic, retreated again from the Coast, having
previou ly blown up the works of Scylla, and not
only left us again our ca-tured stores, but an immense
quantity of °valiance and' stores of their own, which
had been placed in depot. Major-General Mackenzie
mentions tiP me in particular, that SO pieces of brass
cannon had been thrown from the Rock into the sea
from whence, however, there could be no difficulty in
rais:ng them, the water being extremely shallow.
These stores hadbeen progressively assembling, I
am informed, by means of coasting Navigation for a
considerable time past, as preparatory to the long.
menaced, and I believe really intended invasion of
the Kingdom of Sicily. .
The conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Smith during
Ate course of this.service, although attended with, a
•enomentary reverse, has been represented to me; Sy
Major-General Mackenzie, in terms of great approba-
tion, with every praise to the zeal and perseverance•
bf the troops employed under his orders. He has alio
expressed great acknowledgments to the active assist.
;ance of Captains Crawley and Palmer, of his Ma-
jesty's ships Philornel and Alacrity, who were his co-
operators on this service.

The great disunion of party in the province. was.a
triatat ial obstacle to every means of intelligence, and
led to the loss of a detacinnent of the 21st Regiment,
which had been sent at the solicitation of the inhabi-
tants of the town of Palmi, for their. protection. = •
• Oeneral. Murat directed a flag of truce to me after
our arrival here, to offer to treatnibr an csr-hange of
three officers, four non-commissioned officers, and 80
trten of this party, who were stated to be prisoners,
ar.d on their march to Naples. I had scarcely agreed
to the measure, when .in a seeming.fit of humour, oc..
easinned by a dissatisfaction at the Terms of Capita-.
talon of this island, he sent another flag again to me,
zrithdrawing the former offer, and &anti% anylur-
Cher correspondence or communication With me what-
ever. I have the honor to be, Arc- (Signed)
