Downing-Street, April 12, 1813.

A DISPATCH, dated Heligoland, April 7, of which the following is an extract, was last night received at Earl Bathurst's Office, addressed to his Lordship by LieutenantGovernor Hamilton.

I have the honour to lay before your Lordship a dispatch, forwarded to me by Major Kentzinger, conveying intelligence of very great importance at this time, respecting a decisive victory obtained over a considerable French force, commanded by General Morand.

The engagement took place in the town of Luneburg. The French General lost his life, and twelve pieces of cannon were taken; not a man escaped.

Extract of a letter from General the Baron Tettenborn to Major Kentzinger, dated Hamburgh, the 4th of April, 1813.

I hasten to announce to you the signal victory which our troops have gained, upon the 2d of April, over the corps of General Morand, who had possessed himself of the town of Luneburg.

General Morand, with 3,500 men, had marched from Tostedt to Luneburg. My Cossacks followed his movements; and I gave information of them to General Dornberg, who, in conjunction with General Tschernicheff's corps, had passed the Elbe at Lentzen. The two Generals advanced by forced marches to Luneburg, and arrived there just as my Cossacks were engaged with the enemy. The gates were forced with the bayonet; and a sanguinary conflict ensued in the streets of the town. The victory was soon decided in our favour; all who were not killed or already made prisoners, laid down their arms. Not a single person escaped of the whole corps. Three pair of colours, and twelve pieces of cannon, fell into our bands.

Admiralty-Office, April 13, 1813.

Extract of a Letter from Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, Burt. Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Mediterranean, to John Hilson Croker, Esq. dated on board the Caledonia, Port Mahon, March 7, 1813. I have the honour to enclose the copy of a letter from Lord William Bentinck, enclosing the narrative of a very gallant affair on the coast of Calabria, under the direction of Captain Hall, commanding the Sicilian flotilla, which you will please lay before their lordships.

Palermo, Feb. 23, 1813.-SIR, I have the satisfaction to transmit to you the copy of a report on a very brilliant and gallant enterprise on the coast of Calabria, which reflects great honour on Brigadier Hall, commanding the flotilla, and Major Stewart, of the 75th regiment, as also on the whole of the officers and men cmployed under their orders.

I am sorry to add, that the service bas to regret the loss of Major Stewart, of the 75th regiment, a very gallant and deserving officer.-I have, &c.

(Signed)

Sir Edward Pellew, Bart. &c. &c.

W. C. BENTINCK, Lieut.-Gen.

Messina, Feb. 16, 1813.-MY LORD, I have the honour to inform your Lordship, that since the attack of the 21st of July the enemy had thrown up new works at Pietra Nera, and felt such confidence in their protection, that a convoy of fifty sail of armed vessels had assembled within a few days past to transport to Naples timber and other Government property. Conceiving it necessary to destroy this confidence, I submitted a proposal, which having gained your Lordship's sanction, 1 proceeded on the night of the 14th with two divisions of the flotilla, and four companies of the 75th, under the command of Major Stewart. Light and contrary winds prevented the boats arriving until nearly day-light, when about one hundred and fifty men, with an auxiliary party of seamen, under the command of Lieutenant Hunte, were landed; and Major Stewart, without waiting the arrival of the rest, pushed up immediately to the height, which we had previously concerted to Occupy, and which a complete battalion, with two troops of cavalry, and two pieces

of artillery, were prepared to dispute. Aware of the enemy having cavalry, I lauded a detachment of the rocket corps, under the direction of Corporal Barenbach, the fire of which threw the enemy into confusion, and facilitated the approach of our troops, which charged the height in a most determined way. The enemy, however, did not abandon it, until the Colonel-Commandant Roche, and most of his officers, were killed or made prisoners, and the height was literally covered with their dead. The division of the flotilla under Captain Imbert had now commenced a most destructive cannonade on the batteries, which held out with such obstinacy, that I was obliged to order them to be successively stormed. This service was performed by Lieutenant Le Hunte, with a party of seamen, in a very gallant style. At eight o'clock every thing was in our possession; the most valuable of the enemy's vessels and timber launched, and the rest on fire. Upwards of one hundred and fifty of the enemy killed and wounded, one hundred and sixty-three prisoners, amongst whom is the Colonel of the regiment, three of his Captains, two Captains of cavalry and one of artillery, with his two guns, (six pounders) afford the best proofs of the manner in which both services did their work: very few of the enemy's cavalry escaped.

The determined manner in which Major Stewart led his men to the attack of the enemy's position, did him infinite honour, and the army will share my regret at the loss of this brave officer, who fell by a musket-shot, while with me pushing off from the shore, after the troops were embarked. Lieutenant Campbell, of the 75th, who commanded the advanced, was particularly and generally noticed; I cannot sufficiently express my admiration of the very exemplary conduct of Lieutenant Le Hunte, who was the observation of sailors and soldiers.

Colonel Robinson superintended the debarkation, and was very active. The army flotilla officer, Don Luigi Muallo, is always distinguished on these occasions: Captain Imbert, of the Neapolitan navy, placed his division of gun-boats in a manner that did him much credit. I solicit your Lordship's recommendation of this officer, with Don Gesolmino Patella and Don Pietri Trapani, to the notice of His Royal Highness the Hereditary Prince. I have the honour to annex a list of our killed and wounded on this occasion, which your Lordship will observe is very trifling, compared with the enormous loss of the enemy. This of itself speaks more for the discipline of the 75th than any eulogium, which as an officer of a different service, I can presume to bestow. (Signed) R. HALL, Captain and Brigadier. One boatswain, 1 seaman, killed; 7 seamen wounded. His Excellency Lord W. C. Bentinck, &c. Palermo.
