Copy of a Letter front Sir Thomas Troubridge, Bart. *ear Al mital of the White, &c. to William Marfden, Efq. dared on board his Majefty's Ship the Blenheim, Port Cornwallis, Augnft 20,1806. Sir—l inciofe to you, ter the information of the Lords Corn mifSoners of the Admiralty, the copy of a letter which I have re ceived from Captain Elphinftotte,ef his Majefty's & p Greyhound, in the Java Seas, dated the 27th July laft, containing an account of fame fuecefsful operations againft the enemy, perforated by that fhip, in company with his Piajcfty's (loop Harrier; and of his having, on the 25th of that month. falleu in with the Dutch Re publican frigate Pallas, of thirty-fiz guns, and two bundrad and feventeen men, and the William corvette, of twenty guns and one hundred and ten men, having under convoy the two large armed flu p s named in the margin *, laden with fpiees, the produce of the Moluccas ; that after a (mart action of about forty five minutes. the Palls. and her convoy ftruck to his Majefty's chips. The cor vette, taking the advantage of the crippled Rate of the Greyhound and Harrier, Iffeeted her efcape. The encomiums bellowed by Captain Elphinitone on ali his officers, petty officers, feamtn and marines,and alto upon Captain Troubridge. the oflictzs, a nd of the Harrier, renders any obfervation I might be induced to mike. unnecellary. lam happy further to acquaint you, that the Greyhound. Harrier, and prizes, arrived yefterday at Port Corn wallis. I inch& Captain Elphinftone's retut n of the killed and wounded. I ant. &c. (Signed) T. taonaltool. His Majefty's Ship Greyhound. Java Sea, July a 7, 1806. Sir—l have the honour to inform you, that his Majelly's (hip. GREYHOUND and HARRIER, after de iiroying, on the 4th of July, under the fort of Mana do, the Dutch Company's brig Chriflian Elizabeth, armed with eight guns, and hating a complement of eighty men, flood acrofs the Molucca Sea to the ifland of Tidon, when they captured, on the 6th, another of the enemy's cruizers called the Belgica, armed with twelve guna, and manned With 3.2 men ; from thence proceeding to the weftward, on the evening of the 25th of July, four fail of (hips were defcried palling through the Streights of Salayer ; immediate chace was given to them ; and, by nine, I had the far isfac. tion of feting them lying to between the (mall Dutch polls of Bonthean and Balacomba, at about (even miles diftance from the (pore. I tartly made out one of them to be a frigate, and another a col vette ; but a third had fo much the appearance of a line of battle (hip, that both Captain TROU BRIDGE and mylelf deemed it prudent to wait till daylight before we ex mined them. We accordingly lay to during the night, at two miles dittance to windward. As the day broke, I had the pleafure of finding the !hip which had forced us on cautionary meafures, was a large two decked fhip, refembling an Englith India man. The enemy (for they proved to be a Dutch fqua dron) immediately drew out in order of battle on the larboard tack under their topfails ; the frigate taking her nation in the van, an armed lhip allern of her, the large (hip in the centre, and the corvette in the rear. Fortunately for us the frigate, by fore-reach ing upon her fecond aftern, caufed a (mall opening in their line. It was friggelled to me by Mr. MARTIN, Mailer of his Majetty's fhip GREYHOUND, that if we could elide with the enemy whillt in that pofition our attack might be made to advantage; accordingly, under French colours, we bore up, as if with an in tention to Ipeak the frigate ; and when within hail, all further .difguife being nnneceffary, we flitted our colours, and commenced firing, which was instantly returned with a final tnefs and tpirit that evinced they were fully prepared for the contell. The HARRIER, who had kept dole atlern of the GREYHOUND, on feeing her engaged, bore round up, awl paffed be tween the frigate and her fecond villein, raked them both (the latter with Inch effeCt), that they bore up in fuceeffion to return her fire, thus leaving the fri gate leparated from them. Bing refolved to avail myfelf of this advantage, and being anxious to be in a p.dition for fupporting the HARRIER, now engaged io the centre of the enemy's line, I wore elide r mud the ft iwite's bows, raking her feverely while paling; and when on the (larboard bow, by throwing our fails aback, we fill into the delired pofition. The cannon. ade from the Cla v HOUND was now admirable, while that of the frigate vifibly flackened ; and at late, atter an a:tion of forty minutes, wholly ceafed. On hailing to know if they had (truck, they anfwered they had, and Lieutettant He , ME took immediate pof leilion of her. On directing her fire on the (hips altern, they all followed her example, excvt the cor. vette, from being in the rear, had fuffeted little from the aaion, and now made I ff towards the fltore. Captain Tiviusitinos immediately wore in purfuit of her, fending, at the fame time, a boat to take pof feflion of the large (hip (whole fire he had nearly filenced early in the action). Perceiving the corvetie failed remarkably %%ell, and that the could fpread more canvas than the HARRIER, her malt and rig. ging being entire, I recalled the linter from a c h a , e whicit was likely 'o be fruitieff. 'lire prizes proved to be the Dutch Republican frigate Pallas, of thirty fix gum., commanded by N. S. AALBERS, a Captain in the Dutch navy ; the Vittoria, a two decked fhip, of about eight hundred tons, commanded by KLAAS KENKIN, senior Captain in the Dutch Company's fer vice ; and the Battavia, a Ihip of about 530 tots, c. m lianded by WILLIAM De VAL, a Captain in the fame fcrvice ; both the Company's (hips are armed fisr the pupae of war, and richly laden astir the produce of the Moluccas. The fhip which ecaped. I learn from our prinmers, was the Repirb!ican cor vette William, mounting twenty z 4. pounders, and manned with rto men. The fuppm t and Alliance I have received from Captain TIM) RR IDG.E on every other occation, (through a difficult and perilous na vigation) I attribute to the fame talents, ability, arid zeal, which he in nobly difplayed on this one. I feel hapv in an opportunity for recommending Mr. Pun y's Hunt, Firlt Lieutenant of the GREYHOUND, a deferving good officer, who proved that innate cou rage was to he affilted by experience, and I reaped the benefit of th it, which he had acquired at Copen hagen, by t!-e advice and affiflance which he pve me. The fire from the main decks and the confe. opiences cf it, is the belt encomium on Lime. nants ANDoR and WHITEHEAD, but I beg leave to add, that their conduit has been as good and exem plary on every other occafion. I have had caufe to fpeak of Mr. MARTIN in the body of this letter, I can only add that he is a credit to the profeflion to which he belongs. The behaviour of the Warrant Officers and Midfhipmest was highly becoming ; from among the latter I beg leave to recommend Meffrs. HARRIS, BRAY, Gaacs, and MAJORIRANKS, as young officers deferving of promotion. The coolnefs, bravery, and good conduit of the petty offi:ers and thin's company, was fuch as would make it tedious, difficult, and per haps invidious, to attempt to particularize their in dividual merits ; they have long, by their excellent behaviour, had a claim on my gratitude, and they • l inod& and Battavia. now have one on my admiration ; (office it then to fay, that an entheiallit courage reigned throughout the (hip ; fuch as !fancy belongs to Batons alone. Cap tain Taouak mos fpeaks in the higheft terms of the HAIR ;he has requefted me to make known the great Alliance he received from Mr. Mtrcm ELL, the Fiat Lieutenant, and the very exemplary c<'ndud of A4ling Lieutenant C. HoLs, and Mr. 11,.t.t...5r, the Matter. In expreffing his approbation of the conduet of the Warrant and Petty Officers, he mentions Mellis. CorriN and MITFOSD, Midlhipmen, efpecially ; and I take the liberty of adding, that both of them have ferved their time. For all other particulars I beg leave to refer you t to the inclofed reports, from the perufal of which you will perceive how much his Majefty's (hips have (offered in their marls and rig ging; but you will participate in the joy which I feel, that our lois has been trifling when compared with that of the enemy.
