with his whole forces (amounting to above one thou-

works contingent thereto; at the same time acquaint-
ing the Civil Administration with his inability alp

The fortress of St. M tura is situated upon 7, nar-
row sandy Isthmus, of three miles in length, which
joins it-to the island, and it has, besides, a direct
communication with the town by a singularly rarrow
causeway, nearly a mile in length. The neck a

Colonel Wilder and two battalions, -I Proceeded with
a portion of light infantry to reconnoitre the Isthmus.

obvious that no time ought to be lost in carrying this
work ; accordingly the battalion of detachrnents•nn-
der Major Clarke, 35th Regiment, was celled frbbi•
the town to support the attack, which pres4ntis"site-

who did me the honour to land with the troops, di-

DOWNING-STREET, JUNE tl.
A Dispatch of which the following is a copy, has been receiv-
ed at the Mee of the Earl of Liverpool. from Lieutenant-Ge-
stal Sir John Stuart, dated Messina, April 26,1810 :

Messina, April G.
Mr Loan—Since my dispatch to your Lordship, of
the 24th instant, I have received from Brigadier Ge-
neral Oswald the satisfactory account which I have
the homer to transmit herewith, of the complete re-
duction of the Island and Fortress of St. Maura, and
of the surrender of the French force, by which they
were garrisoned, to his Majesty's arms.
On the service so successfully accomplished by Bri-
gadier-General Oswald, it only remains with me to
express the sanguine hope that the consequences will
be as beneficial as the atchievement has been brilliant,
and that himself and the gallant troops who have
been the companions of his enterprize, will receive
their best reconspence in their Sovereign's most gra-
cious approbation.—l have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) J. STUART,
Count of Ivlaida, Lieut. Gen.
Camp off St. Maura, April 17.

Situ..-I have extreme satisfaction in announcing to
yom Excellency that the fortress of St. Maura sur-
rendered to his Majesty's arms on the 16th instant,
nine days after batteries, consisting of two 32-poun-
den, nine 18-pounders, four howitzers, and six tnor-
tars were opened against it ; a portion of this artil-
lery, however, had only been three days in action.
The place was perfectly provided in casemates,
and I am free to confess, its situation and defences
ofFered greater obstacles than I apprehended we
sheald h.«•e had to contend with.

The sketch I had the honour to forward with my
last dispatch will spew to your Excellency the nar-
row and exposed front we had to %tot* upon ; and like-
wise
that a due consideration for the inhabitants com-
pelled me to construct the batteries of support at ra-
thtr too great a distance from the wok.
The ample supplies which your Excellency
promptly dispatched enabled us to support so heavy
a cannonade and bombardment, as to render it unr-
-1
cessary to resort .to a breaching battery, a measure in
contemplation, which the skill and resources at all
times displayed by Captain Thackeray would, I
(ink not, have happily accomplished. The enemy's
artillery and interior of the fortress have greatly suf-
fered, but its walls remain unimpaired. . f
The troops have performed the hazardous and ar-
duous labours of the siege with characteristic intre-
pidity and perseverance.
During the operations, one or two night attacks
upon the enemy's outposts afforded a display of that
high degree of discipline and gallantry which such
efforts demand.

Upon the evening of the ISth, Captain Thackeray
desiring to reconnoitre the approach and ground for
the breaching battery, then in agitation, it became
necessary to drive the enemy from an intrenchment
he held within 300 paces of his rampart. The ser-
vice was entrusted to Lieutenant-Colonel Moore, of
the 35th Regiment, who led the grenadiers of that
Regiment, Light Company of Roll's, and Subal-
terns' Detachments of the Corsican Rifles and !
Royal Marines. This corps, pushing undauntedly
through a heavy fire of grape and musquetry, carried t
the enemy's line at the point of the bayonet. Upon
the Lieutenant-Colonel and Captain Thackeray re-
potting to me that it was practicable to establish our
troops there, the detachment was directed to stand
Ent, and by incessant and judicious labour during the;
night, the entrenchment was converted into a second
parallel, from whence the fire of the enemy, however
'e►ere, could not dislodge it.
Our sharpshooters and infantry from thence greatly
listreued the opposing artillery, and I am convinced
tianened the enemy's decision to surrender.
In the course of these operations, it has afforded
rite infinite satisfaction to observe, that the skill of
our officers and the courage of our men, have uni-
formly converted the labours of the enemy into works
of security for ourselves.
I am happy to say, that upon the whole our loss
h-ts been inconsiderable ; remarkably so, when the
circumstances of the siege are taken into considera-

tion.

From his advice and assistance.
._ The squadron has given the most powerful aid ; it
furnished ammunition and cannon for the batteries'

Mowbray, Brisbane, and Griffiths, of the Royal Navy,
were zealous in their co-operation ; the two latter

Mowbray, by his unceasing exertions, facilitated our
operations and supplied our wants.
The gallantry and good conduct of the Royal Ma-

port, and I can only assure you that it has been con-
spicuous throughout the Service.
Colonel Wilder superintended the duties of the line
to my perfect satisfaction.
Lieutenant-Colonel Lowe commanded in the town,
and was unwearied in calling forth the resources of
the Island, and in planning and forwarding .t mode
of attack by the Lake, had the obstinacy of the enemy
forced us to recur to such a measure.
The arrangements of Captain Williamson, com-
manding the artillery, were most excellent. The
officers and men of the corps displayed their accus-
tomed science and intrepidity.
The labours of Captain Thackeray, commanding
Engineer, were incessant, his projects judicious, and
his batteries admirably constructed. The officers of
that department had severe duty, and acquitted them-
selves in a manner the most praise-worthy.
The army has been abundantly supplied, through
the exertions of the Commissariat, directed by Acting
Assistant-Commissary Forbes, a gentleman who has
