A a.spatch, of which the following is an Extract, has been this day received by the Earl of Liverpool, one of hit. Mojebty's principal Secretaries of State, from It. T. Farquhar, Esq. ; dated Port Louis, Isle of France, Dec. 7, 1810. Lieutenant Cator, acting as Commander of his Majesty's sloop the Otter, arrived here this morning with dispatches from Vice-Admiral Bertie, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels at the Cape of Good to John Wilson Croker, Esq. Secretary to the Admiralty, of which the follow ing are copies:— Africaine, in Port Louis, Isle of France, • December 6,1810. SIR-I have the honour to announce to you, for the informa tion of their Lordships, the capture of the Isle of France and its dependencies, comprehending the extirpation of the naval force of the enemy in these seas, and the subjugation of the last remaining colonial territory of France. By my communication addressed to you on the 12th of Octo ber last, and forwarded to Fngland by the Otter, from Bour bon, I had the honour to acquaint you, that I was on the point of resuming the blockade et the Isle of Feaece ; I accordingly arrived off this port on the 19th, and, finding the whole of the enemy's ships in the harbour, and two only apparently in a state of forward equipment,! left Captain Rowley wall the Boadicea, Nisus, and Nere:de,* to watch the movements of the enemy ; and having previously detached the Ceylon and Staunch to con voy the division of troops from Bourbon to Rodriguez, I pro ceeded with the Commander of the Forces (Major-General the Hon. John Abercromby) who had embanked in the Africaine towards that anchorage. On' the 114th, I was joined by Rear- Admiral Drury, with a divi<ion of his squadron as per margin ,t and taking under my cutlers for the time being, the Rear- Admiral with the ships under his conunand, I was enabled to strengthen the blockading svadron by detashieg the Cornelia and Hesper for that purpose ; and with the others made all sail for Rodriguez, where the squadron arrived on the nd No vember, and found lying there the division of troops from Bom bay ; on the 6th arrived the division from Madras, under con voy of the Psyche and Cornwallis. On the sth Rear-Admiral Drury sailed with the Russell, Phaeton, and Bucephalus, to resume his command in India ; on the 12th arrived the division from Bourbon under convoy of the Ceylon. The divisions from Bengal and the Cape not arriving by the 20th, the season being so far advanced, and the anchorage (sur rounded by reefs) by no means scentee more particularly for so large a number of ships, I determined on weighing with the whole fleet on the morning of the 22d, proposing the convoy should cruise to windward until joined by one or other of the divisions. Very fortunately, intelligence was received on the night of the 21st, that the Bengal force,under convey of fhe Illus trious, was in the oiling. Gen. Abercromby deemed it, as well as myself, adviseable they should not anchor ; but that, having communicated with the convoy, and given them such supplies as they might essentially require, we should proceed to the attack of the Isle of France, without waiting the junction of the troops expected from the Cape. The whole fleet accordingly weighed from the anchorage, and on the morning of the 29th bore up for the point of debarkation it had been determined to occupy in Grande Baye, about twelve miles to windward of Port Louis, where the Africaine Lading in, and the several ships of war following with the convoy, according to a previous arrangement, the whole fleet were at anchor by ten o'clock A. M. consisting of nearly seventy sail ; and the army, with their artillery, stores, and ammunition, the several detach ments of marines serving in the squadron, with a large body of seamen, disembarked the same day, without a single loss or accident ; a division of shi,4 still maintained a vigilant block ade of the port; another division remained for the protection of the convoy at the anchorage ; and a third, under my more immediate command, shitted their station as circumstance, required, to keep up a more effectual communication with the army as it advanced, and which was dependent for its sup plies of provisions and stores wholly on the resources of the navy. On the 2d instant the Governor-General De Caen proposed terms of capitulation, and, Commissioners being appointed on either side, a capitulation was signed and ratified on the morn ing of the 3d instant, at the British Heed-quarters, a copy of which I have the honour to transmit for their Lordships' infor mation. In a combined operation of this nature, the ultimate success of which must essentially in a great degree be made to depend upona zealous and emulative co-operation and support through each gradation; and in the iresent instance, where these tea- 7. - f.112 - 11
