lodged an encampment Of Cossacks, by throwing
shell and rockets. He afterwards inspected the
place. but found nothing to destroy. Next morn
ing he anchored at the mouth of the river Porsiki
and landing on its right bank, destroyed Cossack
barrack and stables, and drove the soldiers into
the country. He next proceeded in the direction
OF Wiborg, and anchored the ships as close as pos
sble to the island of Stralsund.
Having opened the bay called Trangsund,
Russian war steamer, towing two gun-boats, was
discovered not far off The Ruby Immediately
opened fire, and she retired out of range. Pro-
ceeding to the entrance of the Sound, Wiborg
came in sight, also another Russian steamer aud
three gun-boats at anchor under an island about
a mile Off
The English ships proceeded towards them but
were brought by sunken barrier across the chan
mel, and, at the same moment, masked battery
on the left bank, not more than $50 yards of,
opened frs of round shot, grape and musketry,
and the Russian ships advancing 10 the barrier also
commenced smart fire, whereupon the British re-
tired to Stralsund, the enemys rihemen following
along the banks, but being driven from their posi-
tions as fast as they took them by the ships fire.
An explosion took place on board one of the AFRO
gant's cutters, which swamped it, and killed the
mdshipman in command. The cutter drfted to-
