wounded and missing. The enemy
admitted that they had lost three hundred men, but it was supposed
that five hundred was nearer the number. We are sorry to record that
some of the Danish officers violated their parole and treacherously
rose on their protectors, after medical aid had been afforded them
under the sacred sanction of a flag-of-truce!

Sir James enclosed Captain Stewart's narrative in the following letter
to the Secretary of the Admiralty:

SIR,--I have the highest satisfaction in transmitting to you,
to be laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the
inclosed letter, which I have this day received from Captain
Stewart, of H.M.S. Dictator, detailing the particulars of a
most gallant exploit, performed by him and the two sloops and
the gun-brig named on the margin (Podargus, Calypso, and
Flamer,) upon the Danish frigate Nayaden, three large sloops of
war, and numerous gun-boats, within the Rocks of Wardoe, on the
coast of Norway, supported by batteries on the shore; in which
the enemy's frigate has been totally destroyed, and the sloops
of war completely disabled, besides several of the gun-boats
sunk. It is impossible to express in an adequate manner the
undaunted spirit displayed by Captain Stewart, and all the
officers and men under his orders, in this arduous enterprise,
which, I am assured, will be duly appreciated by their
Lordships. Captain Stewart speaks in the strongest terms of the
gallantry and zeal of Captain Robilliard, of the Podargus;
Captain Weir, of the Calypso; and Lieut. Thomas England, of the
Flamer gun-brig; he also recommends Lieut. Buchanan, first of
the Dictator, to their Lordships' favourable notice.

I have, &c. &c. &c.
JAMES SAUMAREZ.

J.W. Croker, Esq.

To this their lordships expressed their high approbation, and promoted
Captain Stewart, Weir, and Lieutenant England immediately, and Capt.
Robilliard soon after, for the gallantry, zeal, and judgment they
displayed.

The following letter from Captain J. Ross, of the Briseis, gives an
account of a gallant exploit performed by the boats of that ship.

Briseis, off Pillaw, 29th June 1812.

SIR,

I have the honour to inform you that, in pursuance of your
orders, I stood in yesterday to communicate with the merchant
vessel Urania, in Pillaw Roads, when I perceived her to be
