[lie Majesty's ship Quebec, Heligoland, August 6.
Silt—l have to acquaint you with a very gallant
atchievement, (the capture of a division of the ene-
my's gun-boats,) which has been performed by boats
from this part ot your squadron, under the direction
of the First Lieutenant, Samuel Blyth, of the Quebec,
who had the honour to command a party ot brave
officers and men that nobly seconded him.
The weatl.er was particularly fine and settled for
this kind of set vice, and they had already captured
and sent to me a Vaisseau de Guerre of the Douanes
Imperiales, manned with an officer and twelve men, ,
(one of them was killed before she, surrendered); and
a met chant vessel which they were towing out, when
being near the Island of Nordeney, on the 3d, four of
the enemy's gun-bias were seen at anchor within.
The enemy silently waited the attack, their guns
loaded. with grape and cannister, (not using any
round' shot,) until the boats were within pistol range,
when a discharge took place from their whole line.
The first vessel was immediately boarded and carried,
but the other with great bravery maintained them-
selves, severaliy, until they found their vessels were
no longer in their own possession.
The loss sustained was, on our side, four killed and
fourteen wounded, on that of the enemy two killed
and twelve wounded.
The Offict rs employed were
Lieutenant Julio O'Neale, Alert.
Lieutenant Samuel bluer, Raven, severely wounded.
Lieutenant C arles Woinge, Quebec.
Humphrey IVlOure, Lieutenant Royal Marines, Quebec, after-
wards severely burnt.
