The 7th May we captured a finall 114, from the He of France, in ballall, which was burnt. May 16th, filled with the AkROGANT and OR PHEUS, from Mew Bay, and paffing to the north ward of the iflands of Batavia, made the land of Java, 16th May, near Piaint Indramago, and hav ing Bumpkin ifland in fight at the fame time to the eailward of Batavia ; the fame day difcovered a large (hip and a brig at anchor, to whom we gave chafe ; and who, after having made fome fig nals to each other, made all fitil from us in for the land. It was late in the evening before we got near them, when difcovered the fhip to be a wife' of force, and having fcveral guns on her lower deck, and the brig alto mounting fourteen guns; finding they could not cfcape us, they both ran on (pore, at fomc miles diftant from each other, to the wellward of Point Indramago. We were foon within random (hot of the (hip, and anchored as near her as the depth of water would admit, when fhe began firing at us, which was returned by fe veral guns from each deck. About this time two I boats were ohferved going from her full of men; and as it grew dark fhortly after, fome of our boats were fent to prevent the crew of the (hip from land ing, and to commons her to furrendcr, which they could not do till the morning ; this I conclude A% as with the detign of dellroying her, if they could have accompliffied landing t he crew in the night, but the vigilance of our boats prevented this taking place, as her boats were taken full of men the fir 'time the attempt was made.

On the evening of the 25th we, got fight of ja- i • Ja pura, and the ( hip at anchor there ; but t fell lit tle wind, and we were obliged to anchor at the diftance of ten or eleven mires from it; as they had obferved us from the chore, I thought no time was to be loft, and therefore at eight P.

The battery fired on them to foon as they dif covered her to be in our poffeilion ; but though Tome of the boats' oars were broke by the (hot, no other accident.happened, and they effeCted get tint her out before daylight, when the joined us, and We found her to be the Dutch Eaft India Compa ny's (hip Undernemingonotmting fix carriage guns, and having eighty men oa board. After putting the prize in order, ._May 28th, joined the ORPHEUS off Cheribon, and found that in our abfence the had captured a Dutch brig, a (loop, and two prows ; the three latter were detlroyed.
