Gazette Information.

22.-Narrative of a gallant enterprize, very ably directed by Capt. Sir J. Rowley, and most zealously executed by the force under his command, in cooperation with the battalion of Col. Catanelli, who made a descent on the coast of Italy, under a hope of surprising Leghorn. Sir J. Rowley sailed from Palermo on the 29th of Nov. 1813, in company with the Termagant, and anchored at Melazzo on the following night, where, having joined the Edinburgh, Furieuse, and America, and embarked on board them, on the following day, the troops of the Italian levy, amounting to about 1000 men, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Catanelli, he sailed the same evening, and arrived on the coast of Italy, off Via Reggio, on the 9th of Dec. Having fallen in with the Armada and Imperieuse off the north of Corsica, he detained them to assist in getting the troops on shore. Having anchored with the squadron off the town, the troops and field pieces were immediately landed; a small party of the enemy having evacuated the place, on a summons that had been sent in, and possession was taken of two eighteen and one twelve-pounder guns, which defended the entrance of the river. The Lieut.-Col. proceeded immediately to Lucca, which place was surrendered to him at twelve the same night. The following day a detachment of forty royal marines from the America, under Capt. Rea, was sent to a signal station to the northward, which on his threatening to storm, surrendered to him, and eleven men who defended it were made prisoners: he found it to be a castle of considerable size and strength, walled and ditched, and capable of containing near 1000 men. On receiving this report, Sir J. Rowley sent Mr. Bazalgette, senior Lieut. of the America, who, with a few barrels of powder, completely destroyed it, bringing off a brass nine-pounder gun, which was mounted in the castle. Parties from the Imperieuse and Furieuse also brought off two other brass guns from the beach, to the northward and southward of the town, those at the leading place having also been embarked. The Lieut.-Col. returned to Via Reggio, where he arrived on the morning of the 12th. Towards sunset the troops were attacked by a force of about 600 cavalry and infantry, with a howitzer and two field pieces. They #onsisted of a detachment from the garrison of Leg

horn, which had been joined on its march by some troops at Pisa; the Lieut.-Col. completely routed them, with the loss of their guns and howitzer, and a considerable number of killed, wounded, and prisoners; the remainder retreated in much confusion towards Pisa. Information having been obtained from the prisoners, of the weak state of the garrison at Leghorn, the Lieut.-Col. proposed to intercept the return of the routed troops, by proceeding immediately off Leghorn. The troops were instantly embarked in a number of country vessels, which were towed off by the boats of the squadron, and the whole being taken in tow by the ships, proceeded the same night for Leghorn Roads, and anchored about three o'clock on the following day, to the northward of the town. The Imperieuse having previously reconnoitred the best spot for landing, the vessels were immediately towed in shore, and the troops and field-pieces landed without opposition. The boats then proceeded to land the marines; but the weather, which had been hitherto favourable, in the course of the evening became so bad, that only a part could be got on shore; and the pinnace of the America was swamped, and Lieut. Moody (a most valnable officer) and two seamen were drowned. Early in the morning the remainder were landed, and proceeded to the positions assigned them.

The corps of the enemy, which had been defeated at Via Reggio, was a second time reinforced at Pisa, and at this period made an attack on our marines, without the tower. The gates of the town had been closely examined during this day and the preceding night, to ascertain the practicability of forcing an entrance, but that or any other means of immediate attack not being considered practicable against a place so strong and regularly fortified, and there not appearing any movement of the inhabitants in our favour, the precarious and threatening state of the weather, rendered it expedient to re-embark the whole without delay: by very great exertions this was effected in the best order during the night, and early the following morning, in very severe weather, without any molestation from the enemy. On this occasion, one of our men was killed, three drowned, and eleven wounded.

Giulay's corps to Langres, the inhabitants fired on the troops, but this is the only instance in which the Allies have not been well received. The Bavarians, under Gen. Wrede, have bad a very serions affair with the enemy near St. Drey, under Marshal Victor. In the commencement of the action they were repulsed, aud the French cavalry, commanded by Gen. Malhaud, had some success; but, on the arrival of Gen. De Roy's Bavarian brigade, the enemy were completely repulsed, and retired towards Luneville, with the loss of several officers, and some hundred prisoners.The Russian and Prussian Guards, and reserves to the amount of 30,000 men, crossed the Rhine on the 13th, at Basle, and defiled before the allied Sovereigas.

Supplementary.-Dispatches from Lord Burghersh, Sir C. Stewart, Sir T. Graham, and Lord Wellington. Those from Lord Burghersh are dated from Vesoul, Jan. 14, and Langres, Jan. 18. They describe various successful movements of the Allies. "Buonaparte," says his Lordship, "appears to have taken every means in his power to induce the people of France to rise against the troops of the Allies now established within their frontiers; as yet he has been unsuccessful. At Langres some shot were fired at a patrole of Austrians that entered that town if they were fired upon by the inhabitants of the place, it was under the direct influence of the person sent for that purpose by Buonaparte.-It is due in justice to Prince Schwartzenberg, to state to your Lordship, the excellent discipline he has maintained in the army under his orders, since its entry into France; no outrage of any sort has been committed by the troops: violence has been repressed with the utmost severity."-Sir Charles Stewart dates both his reports from Basle, the 17th and 22d of January. In the latter, he says:- Marshal Blucher's last reports are of the 17th, from Nancy. He sent the keys of this town to the grand head-quarters; the Emperor of Russia met the Officer bringing them, as he was on his march to Vesoul; he immediately sent two of the keys to the King of Prussia, reserving two for himself, with an appropriate message. His Prussian Majesty is again master of Wittenberg, and by no other means but the glorious valour of his brave soldiers. The siege was begun on the 28th of December, and the place was in our possession on the 12th of January. No impediment of the season arrested the spirited exertions of the besiegers; the enemy made a valiant resistance. A breach was made on the 11th, and it was practicable on the 12th, when a proposal to surrender was made and refused. At midnight the assault was determined on in four columns; the gallant Prussians overcame every obstacle, and in less than half an hour they were inasters of the place. All the garrison that did not throw down their arms were put to the sword. The Governor had entrenched the Castle and the Hotel de Ville; the latter was carried by the troops, and the Governor, who was in it, surrendered at discretion, with the rest of the garrison.The siege cost about 300 men killed and wounded: and the assault about 100, and 7 Officers wounded. The Prussians found 96 pieces of artillery here, and made 2000 prisouers. In Torgau they already had obtained possession of 316 pieces. In these fortresses the Prussians have found considerable magazines of corn and gunpowder."

Sir T. Graham's dispatches, dated Calmbout, Jan. 14, furnish official details of the battles of the 11th and 13th ult. between Breda and Antwerp. The volunteers from the militia, in these their first engagements with the enemy, showed the steadiness of veterans, and obtained the warmest approbation of the General. After driving the enemy with loss into Antwerp, our troops retired into the same canton ments which they had previously occupied, a measare rendered necessary by the excessive severity of the weather. The following is the total return of the killed, wounded, and missing, of the army under Sir T. Graham, K. B. in the village of Merexem, con

nected with the reconnoissance upon Antwerp on the 13th of January. 1 ensign, 9 rank and file killed. 1 lieut.-colonel, 3 lieutenants, 26 rank and file, 5: horses wounded; 1 rank and file missing.

No time was then lost in marking out the batteries against Antwerp. About 18 cannon and mortars were planted against the town, which kept up an admirable fire, though there was

not a sufficient number of shells falling to prevent the enemy from extinguishing fire whenever it broke out among the ships. After the bombardment had continued two days and a half, Gen. Von Bulow received orders to march to the Southward, in order to act in concert with the Grand Allied Army; it consequently became necessary that the British should return to their head quarters.
