On this enterprize Lieutenant Joseph Prior de stroyed the French ketch with dispatches for General Daendels, and two gun-boats, under a heavy fire from the batteries of 'Bantam, being so fortunate as only to have one man killed, John Hollaway, sea man of the Sir Francis Drake.

The superior and highly efficacious plan of treatment pur sued by Mr. Kiernan, while it avoids the inconveniences of pub lic charities, gives a certain, safe, and speedy cure without con finement, injury to the constitution, or any circumstance, which can betray to the friends of the patient the existence of their dis ease. The early symptoms of infection are cured in a few days, and the most complicated forms of strictures, debility, uY comtlons, &c. yield in one half the time assigned in other In stitutions of the same kind to their dompleat removal.

Captain Cole's plain and modest narrative marks so strongly the intrinsic merit of himself and his gal lant associates, that it would be almost presumption were i to offer a word of commendation to their Lordships, further than expressing my high appro bation of the judicious conduct of Captain Cole, in his provision with the very small force he had for the protection of this most important position, as well , for the preservation of our Eastern trade as for its immense value. The Caroline was my flag ship, and going on another service, but seeing the necessity of sending immediate relief to Captain Tucker, and' my entire confidence in the ability of Captain Cole, determined me on sending him with the, Caroline and Piedmontaise, as the only certainty of reaching the Moluccas against a contrary monsoon in any rea sonable time. His Majesty's ship Caroline, Banda Harbour, Aug. 10. Sir—l have the honour and happiness of acquaint. ing you with the Capture of Banda Neira, the chief of the Spice Islands, on the 9th August, by a por tion of the force under my orders, in consequence of a night-attack which completely surprised the enemy, although the approach of the ships had beer. una voidably discovered the day before. The weather proved so unfavourable for boat-ser vice on the night of the Bth instant, that although nearly 400 Officers and men had been selected for this occasion, yet, on assembling under Great Ban- Ida, at two on the following morning, I found that the state of the weather would deprive us of the ser vices of some.valuable mea under Lieutenant Ste phens of the Royal Marines, and the greater part of the detachment of the Madras European regiment, and from whom I had expected the most steady support and assistance. The attempt was now to be made with less than two hundred men, consisting of the seamen and ma rines and about forty of the Madras European regi ment, or our labours in, the boats through a dark and squally night, in the open sea, must end in the severest mortihcation. After getting under shelter of the land, the same circumstances of the wea ther which before operated against us were now favourable to us, and the confidence I had in the handful of Officers and men about me, left me no hesitation ; and with a degree of silence and firmness that will ever command my heartfelt acknowledge ments,the boats proceeded to the point of debarkation. A dark cloud with rain covered our landing within one hundred yards of a battery of ten guns, where by the promptitude and activity of acting Captain Kenah and Lieutenant Carew, who were ordered with the pikemen tb the attack, the battery was taken in the rear, and an Officer and his guard made pri soners, without a musket being fired, although the enemy were at their guns w►th matches lighted. From the near approach of day-light our situation became critical, but we had procured a native guide to carry us to the walls of the Castle of Belgica ; and leaving a guard over the prisoners, and in charge of the battery, the party made a rapid movement round the skirts of the town, where the sound of the bugle was spreading alarm among the enemy. In twenty minutes the scaling ladders were placed against the walls of the outer Pentagon of Belgica ; and the first' muskets were fired by the enemy's sentries. The gal lantry and activity with which the scaling ladders were hauled up after the outwprk was carried, and placed for the attack of the inner work, under a sharp fire from the garrison, exceed all praise. The ene my, after firing three guns and keeping up an ineffec tual discharge of musketry for ten or fifteen minutes, fled in aft directions, and through the gateway, leaving the Colonel Commandant and ten others dead, and two Officers and thirty prisoners in our hands. Captain Kenah, Lieutenants Carew, Allen, Pratt, Walker, and Lyons of the Navy, Lieutenant a^.. - ' With such examples our brave fellows swept thqq rampart's like a whirlwind ; and in aJdition to the/ providential circumstance of the service being per: formed with scarcely a hurt or wound, I have the satisfaction of reporting, that there was no instance of irregularity arising from success. The day now beaming on the British flag, srsco vered to .us the Fort of Nassau, and the sea defences at our feet, and the enemy at theirguns, at the dif ferent ports. I dispatched Captain Renate with a flag of truce to the Governor, requiring the immediate surrender ofNassatt, and with a promise of protection for private property. At sunrise the Dutch flag was hoisted in Nassau, and the sea batteries opened a fire on the .Caroline, (followed . iy the Piedmontaise and Barracouta) then approaching the Harbour. Having selected a detachment to secure Belgica, the remain der with their scaling ladders, were ordered for the immediate storm of Nassau ; but Captain Kenah had returned with the verbal submission of the Governor, and I was induced to send a second flag, stating my determination to storm Nassau that instant, and to lay the town in ashes, if the colours were not imme diately struck. This threat, and a well placed shot from Belgica (which completely commands all the principal defences) into one of their sea batteries, pro duced an immediate and unqualified submission, and we found ourselves in possession of the two forts, and several batteries, mounting one hundred and twenty pieces of cannon, and defended by near seven hun dred disciplined troops, besides militia. The ships had been left with so few men to ma nage them, that I had merely directed Captain Foote to leAd into any anchorage that be might be able to obtain, to make a diversion in our favour ; but they were worked against all the unfavourable circum stances of a dark and squally night, in a narrow chan nel, with the most determined rcrseverance, and with that degree of zeal that I expected from an officer of my own rank, whose heart and hand had always been with me on every point of public service. Captain Kenah, who led the storming party, crowned a series of valuable services, during 2 months' difficult and intricate navigation through the Eastern Seas, by his bravery and activity on shore. The colours of Forts Nassau and Belgica will be presented to your Excellency by Lieutenant John Gilmour, who has served nine years in this country, a„ta Livjoant, and a lamp portion of that time as ' First Lieutenant under ray command. Although. labouring under severe illness, he took charge of.the ship on my quitting her ; and his seaman like and zealous eendtict in the discharge of his trust was • most conspicuous. I also transmit allilan of the defences of Banda Neira, with the position of the Dutch troops, and our route from the landing place to Belgica : the enemy had advanced a strong corps towards the place where Admiral Rainier's forces had formerly landed; and a suspicion that this would be the case, and that the roads would be destroyed, determined me as to the point and method of our attack. The service performed was of such :t peculiar na ture, that I could not do justice to the merits of my companions without entering much into detail; and I feel confident that in your Excellency's disposition to appreciate duly the merits of those under your command, I shall find an excuse for having taken up so much of your time. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) citRISTOPMER COLE. Extract of another letter from Vice Admiral DrulT, Conunan der in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels in the Eaat Indies, to John Wilson Croker, Li. dated on board tile Dio mede; in Madras Roads, Jan. 2t, 1811. You will be pleased to lay before the right Ho nourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the accompanying detailed account of the gallant and judicious proceedings of Captain Edward Tuck er, of his Majesty's ship the Dover, whose great ex ertions for the perfect security . of the Moluccas, (by possessing himself of Ternate, one of the strongest Islands in the Molucca Seas, which he accomplished in the most gallant manner,) and every dependency on the Celebes, the resources of which he fun turned to the supply of the Moluccas, claim my highest commendation.

Finding, however, that nn Dutch Officer had charge of these posts, but that the whole Settlement was vested iii the hands of the Sultan and his two suns (who bore Dutch Commissions) for the Dutch Company, I therefore, instead ot nuking a d escent , landed and waited upon his :Maj esty, to whom f ad. dressed the letter, a copy of wkich I have the honour to inclose. The proposals contained in this letter having been duly considered by his Majesty and the Nobles in Council, were acceded to with much satisfaction.
