Hood, for the gallantry he displayed wWI the two ships wider tos order , , in his pursuit of the enemy's fleet, when the had sailing of the squadron of his Mikiesty / s Ally prevented their coming up with them, and bringing on a general action. The r•rave and highly meritorious exertions of Captain Martin and Webley, with the oaicers and men under their orders, cu title them to the highest commendation in my power to bestow, and excited the amazement and admiration of the gallant Swedes, wno witnes4ed their heroic bravery and perseverance. The present position of the Russian fleet within the batteries at the entrance of the harbour, leave tint slender hopes of their beingattaeked with :thy probability of success. Admiral Naucknolt hits requested a body of land forces to be sent from Finland, with a view of Cdi ;IK possession of the Island of East It which would Pilectually command the harbour; hut as the enemy have been occupied in placing it in the hest state . of defence, it is very doubtful if a descent ups) tile Island could he effected. I beg to assure their Lordships, that every endeavour will he prac tised with the force under my orders, j • Sly' wi-th the Swedish 'quallron, that can tend to the further defeat crf%the enemy.

IVl:la.s . , .1 - ISO& Chi isliansand, Jane Si 11,-1 beg leave to acquaint you, that in his Majesty's sloop Seagull, under my command, yesterday, at two P. M. the gase of Norway bearing W. N. W. seven or eight,leagnes, I dijero. vered a brig in shore running to the kasterard, and immediately made all sail in chase of her,; at half-past four Noose within gun -shot and hoisted our colours, which she answered by ;mist ing Danish cotton - sand opening her fire on the starboard side.. AA this time it became nearly calm from a fresh breeze oe bad at W. B.W. and obliged us to get our sweeps out loonier to get between her and the shore. At five got within musket-shot of the enemy and commenced action ; having now most of our sweeps shot ow ay and great part of the rigging. Twenty minutes'past five we discovered several ~,un-boats coming towards us, whkh had been concealed behind the rocks : and it heing a perfeet'i•alm, they had every advantage they could wish in placing them. They took their position on each quarter, raking us every shat, -- Whilst the twig had the same advautage an the larboard bow. At - half-past six, five of our carimnides• were dismounted on the larboard side (the only side we could bring to bear tar the enemy), and several of the - otticers and crew killed and wounded. Every method was used to get the Seagull round, so as to bring the starboard guns to hear, but without eflect ; our sweeps being all shot away, the gnu-boats hulling us every shot they fired, five feet water in the hold, and all our sails twit rigging cut to pieces. At . half-bast seven, from the sinking state of the ship, also the treat slaughter made by the gun-boats. I considered it an indispensable duty for the preservation of the surviving officers and crew, to order the colours to be hauled down. I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, there nos scarcely sufficient . time to remove the wounded out of the Seagull, before she sunk. Tise force opposed to her was the Danish brig of war Lotmen, mooting 'lO guns, eightoeu long 18-pounders, and t wo long 6-pounders, six gun-boats, most of them carrying two' 4-pounders, and from 50 to 70 men each. The action was fought close to the mouth of the harbour of Christ iansand. 1 cannot speak in terms adequate to the deserts of every officer and man under my command,. on this trying occasion. I received that support from Mr. 1131.1t0t1, the First Lieutenant, I had every reason to expect, from his general good conduct ; and the officers and crew have my warmest thanks for their cool and steady be haviour ; and I consider it a duty I nu e them, to add, that never was more British yahoo r displayed than on this occasion, ul thlugh opposed to so very superior a .force. The enemy must have suffered very consi.lerably, but I. have not been able to as certain ton hat extent. Several of the Danes perished on board the Seagull, so precipitantly did she go down. I herewith scud you a list of the killed and wounded on board the said sloop. 'I have the honour to be, &e. (Signed) B. H. CATUCA RI, Commander, Fire-Admiral {Felts, :!;e. ;ore. Killed—Mr. A. S.
