Lewiston, Dec. 19, 1813. 

 Sir, — According to yourinstruc- 

 tions, I crossed the river this 

 morning, immediately after the 

 advance, under Colonel Murray, 

 had passed over with the Royal 

 Scots and 4lst regiments, accom- 

 panied by a large body of Indians, 

 and marched upon Lewiston, 

 which the enemy had, however, 

 abandoned upon our approach, 

 leaving behind him a twelve and 

 six-pounder gun, with travelling 

 carriages, and every thing com- 

 plete. J found in the place a 

 considerable number of small arms, 

 some ammunition, nine barrels of 

 powder, and also a quantity of 

 flour, amounting, I believe, to 

 two hundred barrels. 1 regret the 

 troops had not thj opportunity of 

 coming in contact with the enemy. 



as I am convinced they would 

 have acquired your fullest appro- 

 bation. 



I have, &c. (Signed) 



P. RiALL, Major-Gen. 

 Lieut.-Gen. Drummond, &c. 



Admiralty office, Jan. 22. 

 Copy of a Letter from Vice- 

 Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, 

 Bart, to John Wilson Croker, 

 Esq. dated on board his Ma- 

 jesty's ship Caledonia, at Port 

 31ahon, the 24th Dec. 1813. 

 Sir, — The enclosed narrative 

 will convey to their Lordships the 

 details of a gallant enterprize, 

 very ably directed by Captain Sir 

 Josias Rowley, and most zealously 

 executed by the force under his 

 command, in co-operation with 

 the battalion of Colonel Catanelli, 

 who made a descent on the coast 

 of Italy, under a hope of surpris- 

 ing Leghorn. The loss sustained 

 in this affair has been inconsi- 

 derable, when compared with that 

 of the enemy. I am sure their 

 Lordships will do ample justice to 

 the merits of sir Josias, and the 

 captains, officers, seamen, and 

 marines, engaged in this spirited 

 service. 



I have the honour to be, &c. 

 (Signed) Edw. Pellew.

 preceding communication to you

 Termagant, and anchored at ftle- 

 lazzo on the following night,

 burgh, Furieuse, and Mermaid,
