Early in the night Brigadier Winkleman, with some other Officers, came into my quarters with a flag of truce from General Jansens, charged to request an armistice.—An armistice of 24 hours was agreed on. On the forenoon of the 17th September, an Officer arrived with powers to treat, and a capitulation was agreed to, which General Jan- Beni at first refused to approve of; but Sir Samuel Auclimuty imme diately threatened to march the troops forward at the termination of the armistice. Colo el Agnew gave orders for this purpose in his presence; and informt.. him, that if General Jansen , ' allowed the opportunity of ca pitulating now offered to escape, by not accepting the terms already prepared, no other could he offered. Brigadier Winkleman returned with all speed to General Jansens, and Colonel Gibbs marched with his detachment at six o'clock on the road to Soligata, where, after ad vancing about five miles, he was met by Brigadier Winklemart, bear ing the capitulation confirmed by the signature of General Jansens, and accompanied by a letter, No. 2, which strongly marked the acute ness of his f. &- at being compelled, by the desertion of his allies, all the (testi uction of his army, to adopt this measure. The detachment counter-marched immediately, and after sending a company (at the request of Brigtelier Witikleman) to secure the gulls in the post of Soligata, moved back to Oonarang, whence on the even ing 1 renirnad to Samarang, just before General Jansens had announced his intention of joining me at the farmer place. The General, with great part of his Officers, also reached Semarang that night. I visited him oa the following day, and at ranged for the eqeioment of a trans.

I have dispatched Colonel Gibbs to assume the command of the divisiao of Soueahaya, to which I have allotted his Majesty's 73th regi ment, the 4th volunteer battalion, the light infantry battalion, and the royal artillery; I have sent a small detachnient under faj.or Yule, of the 20th Bengal regiment, an Oliccr on whose conduct I have much reliance, to accompany the Prince of Samanap and his forte to the island of Madura, where I have directed the Major to assume com mand, subject to the general contralti of Colonel Gibbs; he has been instructed to occepy the small forts of Joanna and Rambang on his route, and I have directed that of Japara to be occupied from Samarang. Idiamayo and Pacalonga have ben gar; isoned by troops from Cheribon. In nieutianing the Puniest of Samanap, it would be mjust to him nut to reourte prior to my match f:•0111 Samaraeg, to attack the enemy, he sent to ask my orders, being with 2000 of his people, within a short distance at llainak. lie visited me on my return to Samarang, end ex pressed an earnest wish for the protection and friendship of the British nation. have detached Captain Robinson, your Lordship's aid•ele-camp, with a small escort, to the Court of Solo and D'Jogocarta, to deliver a letter to tee Emperor and Su'tan, and announce the change that has taken place,; I have also called upon the residents at their Courts, Van Braam and lioolehard, to continue, agreeably to the capitulation, the e - ,ercise of their function in behalf of the British Government, and to secure carefully the publia property of the late govt ritruenr, placed in the territories of the respective Priocas et whose court they reside. It will be necessary some to arranee for the guard cf honour attached to the Emperor and Sultan of the traol,s of the European Government of Java, and for the occupation of the forts at their capital, and on the lines of communication to aid between these; but this will be easily ai - raned when the troops ordered to Samarang shall have arrived, and the report of Captain Robertson shall have warranted a judgment of the streegth of these detachments.

DOWNING-STEEET, JAN. 25, 1812. A Dispatch has been received at the Office of the Earl of Liverpool, addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General F. Maitland, en closing the following : Melazzo, Nov. 8, 1811. Sia—ln compliance with your desire, I beg leave to transmit a state ment of the enemy's forces at Palinuro, under the command of Gen. Pignatelli -Cercaro, together with a brief account of the action that took place upon our landing. The force we had to contend with, as far as could be scrutinized into from the questioning of prisoners, &c. were as follows: three companies cif the 2d, or Queen's regiment, two of which were rifle, and antounting,to three hundred and fifty men ; Corsican regulars, sixty ; artillery, forty-five; civic guard, eighty; with at least four hundred peasantry, armed as light troops, and particularly serviceable over the kind of ground they had to act ; thereby making the total amount nine hutt.!red and thirty-five men. This force was acknowledged; but from the reinforcements known to be .continnally accumulating, the enemy arc supposed to have been stronger. I disembarked with fifty of the royal marines, the grenadiers and skirmishers of the 62d regiment, at about half-past three o'clock,p. nt. on the Ist instant, leaving Captains Pollock and Irving's companies to folio w. Upon lading I immediately commenced ascending t h e heights when Captain Oldham was unfortunately severely wounded; a nd after s,tme firing, in the hope of opposing our progress, we completely suc ceeded in gaining them; whereupon I threw out my skirmishers, and formed the remainder to advance upon the enemy, reserving a part to attack (and storm, if possible) the telegraph tower, (end another divi sion to keep in check the enemy, who menaced my left, as also to maintain the commanding position on the heights. The telegraphic tower, and fine adjacent position, we shortly got possession of; when my attention was particularly drawn towards the front of our advance, where the enemy had concentrated his main force, and, under a heavy lire, was endeavouring to force his way to the heights, huzzaing and drumming as he advanced, while his rifle men had the same object in view on our left ; but the steadiness and RPM I J su da ye lib t:
