NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE. APRIL 28, 1821.

Vice-Admiral Sir Graham Moore has transmitted
to this Office a copy of a letter addressed by Captain
Bruce, British Agent at Mocha, to Mr. Salt, his
Majesty's Consul-General in Egypt, dated at Mocha,
the 10ala of January last, and communicating the
successful termination of the expedition sent from
India under the orders of Captain Lumley, of his
Majesty's ship Topaze, for the purpose of obtaining
redress for the injuries which the British interests had
suffered from the Officers of the Imaun, of Senna.

The squadron arrived off Mocha on the 3d of De-
cember, and the Agent having previously used every
means to obtain redress without effect, the place was
bombarded on the 4th, and an attempt was made
to get possession of the North Fort, which failed,
with some loss. On thesth a parley took place, and
the following day two hostages were sent off to the
squadron, with a promise that the British demands
should be acceded to in fourteen day's.
This period, however, elapsed without the arrival
of a person with proper authorities from Senna; and
after allowing further prclo Igations of the truce, on
various excuses made by the Imaun's Officers, the
squadron on the 26th commenced a brisk fire on the
North Fort, and the enemy being driven out of it, a
detachment of seamen and artillery was landed, who
took possession of it, and blew it up, after spiking
the guns and throwing out the carriages.
From the 26th to the 30th, the squadron was em-
ployed in getting up to the South Fort, which was
attended with great fatigue and labour, as it blew a
heavy gale the whole time, and the men bad to lay
oat warps under the enemy's guns at match-lock dis-
tance. A few shot were occasionally exchanged be-
tween the ships and the batteries, and many mes-
sages came off from the shore, but without leading
lb any result.
On the 30th, a fire was opened on the South Fort;
it was breached and evacuated by the troops, and a
party being landed from the squadron, it was totally
blown up, and the guns spiked and carriages de-
stroyed, as at the other Fort.
On the 2d of January, it being understood that
Captain Bruce, the Agent, intended to return to
India, leaving the blockading force, an Officer from
Senna came off; and, producing his powers, ac-
ceded to all the terms of the new treaty proposed
by the British, with the exceptien of two, which he
assured the Agent would be also agreed to, after a
reference to Senna; promising also that llagie Fat-
teht the former Dolah of Mocha, by whom an
offence bad been committed against the English,
should be delivered up to be treated by them as they
should think proper. On the return of the Officer
so the shore, he sent off all the Articles. signed and
ailed by himself, and other Members of—Govern-
wont, and a paper sealed in the same manner, re-1
'Pectin; Futteh's disgrace.
Ou toe 4th the Agent landed, and Was received
with eel'r mark of respect; and the same day the
bolah
was placed under confinement, and his pro-
artay confiscated, being charged with deceiving the
un In regard to the demand of the English and
the real state of affairs.
110 greatest zeal, gallantry, and perseverance
ender fatigue, were displayed by all the Officers and
sten in the expedition.
In the =successful attack upon the Nortlil'ort, on
•

iii Mi.•.-.- - •

the 4th of Decemtier, his Majesty's ship Topaze had
four kill..i and sixteen wounded (two of the latter
since dead), and the Company's cruizers and artillery
four killed and eight wounded. Lieutenant R. G.
Atkinson, of the Royal Marines, on board the Topaze,
was killed, and Lieutenants William Moriarty and
C. M. M. Wright, of the Navy, were wounded ; Mr.
C. P. Gill, Master's Mate, and Mr. Francis S. Bur-
nett, Midshipman, of the Topaze, were killed ; and
Mr. Robert Ward and Mr. William Stephens, Ad-
miralty Midshipmen, of the same ship, were wounded;
Mr. Ward since dead.

The only casualties which took plate on the re-
'.newal of hostilities were, one marine of the Topaze
killed, and Lieutenant Jacob, of the Artillery, Lieu-
tenant Wilson, of the Company's Marine, and one
seaman burnt by the exploiion of the mines, but re-
ported as doing well.

The Liner frigate, Captain the Hon. Hamm Hamm, sailed
on Saturday from Portsmouth for Lisbon. The purpose of
her being ordered thither is kept secret ; but such was the ur-
gency of the ease, that the Dock-yard mechanics were employed
extra hours to expedite her equipment. She remains in the
same defensive state as when she was ordered to Naples.
The Ganges, Comas, arrived off Plymouth, sailed from
Bengal on the 24th of November, from the Cape on the 14th

tion of it.

days, and brings an account that the trade had been stopped for
