Their flank was turned with little difficulty, but what arose from the extreme steepness ' of the ascent, and after a short but ineffectual at tempt to -top, I the fire of some gulls advantage. oust posted, across a deep ravine, the advance of the body of our detachment, the enemy abandoned the greatest part of their artillery, and e ere seen in great autehers and in great confusion in full retreat. Our want of cavalry to follow the fugitives with tote d, the steepness of the road, and the necessity for removing chevaux de frise with which the passage was obstructed, gave time for the escape of the ene my, while our troops, exhausted by their exertions, were recovering their breath. It was evident that their army was completely dis united, several officers, some of them of rank, were t a ken; their native allies, panic struck, had aban doned their officers, and only a few pieces of horse artillery remained of their field ordnance. .With these they attempted to corer their retreat, pursued by Colonel Gibbs, who, with the detachment, passed several incomplete and abandoned batteries; and at noon, and after twelve miles march ever a rugged country, approached the village of Oonarang, in which, and in the small fort beyond it, the enemy appeared to have halted, and collected in irregular masses. Small cannon from the fort and village opened on the line as it advanced : Our-field pieces , were brought up to a commandiug station, and by their fire covered the formation of the troops, who, i led by Colonel Gibbs, were advancing to assault the fort, when it was evacuated by the enemy ; alarmed by our fire, they were seen to abandon it and its vicinity iu the utmost confusion, leaving some light guns with much ammunition and provisions in the where they had broken the bridge to impede pursuit; the road beyond it was covered with the raps, clothing, and military equipments of their troops, who seemed to have been completely routed i and dispersed. A number of officers made prisoners confirmed this belief; our troops bad, however, marched so far, that they were unequal to a longer pursuit, and were , quartered in the fort and the letrracks which the ene mv had quitted. *Early in the night Brigadier Winkleman, with' . some other Officers, came into my quarters with a flag of truce from General Jansen', who was stated to be fifteen miles in advance of my position, at Sola tiga, on the road to Solo • the Brigadier was charged to request an armistice, ;hat the Governor General ' might communicate with your Lordship, on terms of eapitulation. He was informed by my direction, that he must treat with me, and that without delay ; I, however, consented, in consideration of the dis- Wee of his position, to grant, for the express pur pose of capitulation, an armistice of twenty-four • hours, to commence from six o'clock on the following ; morning, and limited in its effect to'the forces pre sent; with this answer Brigadier Winkleman return ed, accepting the armistice proposed. I was perfectly aware of the general sentiments of Rear-Admiral Stopford, regarding the object on which our joint services were employed, from the unreserved communication I had held with him. lie had sailed for Sourebajes with the declared in tention of attacking Fourt Louis, and of returning to his station when the service was accomplished ; and he was most anxious for its speedy termination, as he had informed me, he did not think ships would be safe on the northern coasts of Java after the 4th of October unless Sourabayn was In our possession. _ _ _ All these considerations were strong in my mind against the delay of a reference to him, and con fident that the important object of obtaining for Great Britain an immediate surrender of the island ought not to be impeded or delayed by any point merely of form, I did not hesitate to act individually, and on my sole responsibility, for, the interests of the Slate. I had also cause to fear, if the favour able moment was allowed to pass, that the allies of enemy mielit recover from their panic, that Gen. 3mitms migh t - learn the small amount of our force, that he might again collect his troops and retire on where. profiting by the period of the ap preaching rains, he might prolong the contest ; and hough I could not doubt its ultimate susses, a war i t th^ interior would have embarrassed out arrange r:: ati, and have involved the affairs of the colony in icahle confusion. On i,e forenoon of the 17th Sept. the Coalman &or De Kock, Brigadier and Chief of the Staff of tho French army in Java, arrived at Oonarang, with p.n,ert. from General Jansen to treat of a capitala t:op. which I authorised Colonel Agnew, the Adju '-'.:eneral of the forces,. to discuss with him on ,nrt : the result was the signature by them of the -ies I have the honour to enclose. No. 1, with General De Kock returned in the afternoon tain General Jansen's approval. ,t three o'clock in the morning of the 18th, Bri ier Winkleman arrived at my quarters from Ge -1 Jansen.:, who declined to sign the articles 4 1 had been agreed upon, adverting particularly ose which concerned the debts of the Govern it to individuals. He requested that I would the General half way, or stated that he would, ferrckl, come to my quarters at Oonarang, for orpose of discussion or explanation of those ar- the situation in which it is evident he stood de red him of all claim to those terms of capitulation :h, had he profited by the former invitations, to while he still possessed the means of defence, raig4 perhaps have obtained; and as my situation l'aTurce unequal to prosecute operations further ir interior would not admit of delay, I assumed 'm tone ; and desiring General Winkleman to be *med that personal respect for the character of lera Jansens had alone induced me to grant any is to his army, announced to him that the amis. would cease at the appointed hour, and the Ips march forward at the same time. :alone( Agnew gave orders for this purpose in his 'fence; and informed him, that if General Jan allowed the opportunity of capitulating now of fed to escape s by not accepting the terms already 'pared, no other could be offered. Brigadier ildernan returned with all speed to General Jan and Colonel Gibbs marched with his detach- It at six-o'clock on the road to Soligata, where, rilc anti " o l i\rr o the e able mut the cum 3aweni that he I Solo, w prearhit tough i ; xi, ici Oa deur 1) F ee: 1,0%, erk• I t:cs:‘, vi hart 3: le.ts . 314';1 to Arai At tli curter \ xhirrr h to tease n.nt tc eta tin •:. th prized t which, made to, he ?nigh tr. the it ftrni tl itforme mineral terms t c tiee we tro o p s I Coital Presen t vris alt fore(' to "'rep:, r e tens, an eut • THE STATE MAN. after adVincing about tie miles, he was met by Bri gadier Winkleman, bearing the capitulation confirm ed by toe signature of General lumens, and accom panied by a letter, No. 2, which strongly marked the acuteness of his feelings at being compelled, by the desertion of his allies, and the destruction of his army, to adopt this measure. The detachment countermarched immediately, and after sending a company at the request of Brigadier Winkleman) to secure the guns in the post of Soli , Bata, moved back to Oonarang, whence on the even ing I returned to Semarang, just before General Jan bens had announced his intention of joining me at the former place. The General, with great part of his officers, also reached Semarang that night. I visited him on the following day, and arranged for the equipment of a transport to convey him to Ba tavia with his suite, on which they embarked this morning. I have dispatched Colonel Gibbs to assume the command of the division of Sourabaya, to which I have allotted his Majesty's 78th regiment, the 4th volunteer battalion, the light infantry battalion, and the royal artillery; I have sent a small detachment under Major Yoe, of the 20th Bengal regiment, an ! officer on whose conduct I have much reliance, to ! accompany the Prince of Samanap and his force to the island of Madura, where I have, directed the Ma -1 jor to assume command, subject to the general con trout of Colonel Gibbs: he has- been instructed to I occupy the small forts of Joanna and Rambang on his route, and I have directed that of Japara to be occupied from Samaraug. Idiamayo and Pacalougn have been garrisoned by troops from Cherihon. In mentioning the Prince of Samanap, it would be un just to him not to report that, prior to my march from Samarang, to attack the enemy, he sent to ask my orders, being, with two thousand of his people, within a short distance, at liamak. lie visited me 1 1 on my return to Samarang, and expressed au earnest wish for the protection and friendship of the British nation. As Colonel Wood requested permission to relin quish the command of Satnarang, and return to Ben gal, I appointed Lieutenant-Colonel Watson, of his Majesty's 14th regiment, to relieve him in the com mand. The 14th regiment, a small detachment of artillery, and part of the 3d volunteer battalion, have been stationed at Samarang, and will shortly, I trust, be reinforced by the arrival• of the detach ments of the horse artillery, cavalry, and 89th regi ment. I have detached Captain Robinson, your Lord ship's Aid-de-Camp, with a small escort to the Courts of Solo and D'Jogocarta, to deliver a letter from me to the +Emperor and Sultan, and announce the change that has taken place ; I have also called upon the residents at their Courts, Van Braam and En glehard, to continue, agreeably to the capitulation, the exercise of their functions in behalf of the Bri tish Government, and to secure carefully the public property of the late Government, placed io the territories of the respective Princes at whose Court they reside. I have also required the lotbee public functionaries of the late government to continue in the temporary exercise of their functions, which- hitherto I have found no instance of their declining to perform. It will be necessary soon to arrange for the guard of honour attached to the Emperor and Sultan of the Troops of the European Government of Java, and for the occupation of the forts at their capital, and on the lines of communication to and between these; but this will be easily arranged when the ' troops ordered to Samarang shall have arrived, and the report of Captain Robinson shall have warranted a judgment of the strength of these detachments. I embarked this morning in his Majesty's ship Modeste for Batavia, and shall have the honour of receiving your Lorship's personal commands, and ; discussing with you the several Military arrange weuts, which it may be necessary to make for the security of the island of Java and its dependencies, previous to my return to Madras, which it is my wish to do without delay.

ADMIRALTT.OFFICE., JAN. 90, 1811. Capt. Harris, of his Majesty's ship Sir Francis Drake, ar rived at this office last night, with dispatches from the Hon. Rear•Acniral Stopfurd, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels at the Cape of Good Hope, addressed to John Wilson Crokvr, Esq.; of which the following is a copy. His Majesty's ship Scipion, off Sourabaya, 49th Sept. 1811. ali t —lra my letter to you from Bata;ia Roads , under date the 30th of Aug. I acquainted you, for the information of stay (Ards Cosumirsiosers of the Admiralty, that it was my inteu lion to proceed in the Sripion to the Isle of France, in conse queue* of the principal part of the enemy's force having here captured or destroyed in the successful assault of their work, by the Britlob troops on the 26th of thst month. On communication of this my signal to his Excellency the Governor-General of India, who was residing at Batavia, and to Lieut.-Gen. Sir S. Auchmuty, the Commeoder in Chief of the Forces, 1 was informed by these authorities that the fu ture resources of the enemy were yet unknown, and that they considered it requitite to use all mean to bring the contest to as speedy a conclusion as possible, hoping that I would not diminish any part of the British force by my departure. Upon throe suggestions t waved my first intention of quitting the station, and prepared for immediately proceeding to Sours baya. la pursuance of my former arrangemeut, the Nimes, Presi dent, Pliaibe, and Helper (sloop), balled on the 3151 of August to Chtribon„for the purpose of intercepting the enemy's re treat from Meester Cornelius to the eastward. As se troops were ready for embarkation, 1 relied upon the marines of these ships (to which the party of his Majesty's ship Lioo u added) for performing this service, and they fully answered my expectation. Captain Bearer. of his Majesty's ship Nisus, having outornone4 the place to surrender, took posses sion of it without opposition ; Captain %Verret), the bower of the summons, baring hoisted the, British hag, reseimul in formation that the Commander iu Chief of the Prettelt . treeps (General Jeanette) Mad jest arrived; sod was changing horses. to proceed to the hitsraird. Captain Warixo, wish b. tree, immediately made Mtn his prisoner, and •secitred him ; many other officers and privates were also made prisoners, as their Lordships wilt observe by Captain leaver's report lo me of Ills proccedinp, with Captain Hillyar's account of the surrender of Tagrilt, both forwarded by this opportunity The services performed by these ships were of the greatest importancet a the ultimate result of the cambisigu. On the 4th Sept. I detached Commodore fficiugliton, in the illostrious, with the Minden, Lion, 'nod Leda, to retillezvous off the entrance of Grtesie : on hoard these ships were cm• barked the 14.11) and part of the 78th regs. of foot, with field pieces. The Modeste sailed on the sth with Licut.-Geu. Sir S. Auchmuty, and I sailed in the Scipiun on the 6th, basing i on board two companies of artillery, and four field-pieces. IThe transports, with the remainder of the troops, were direct ed to sail as won as they were ready. On the Bth Sept. 1 received a dispatch from Sir S. Auch• misty, acquainting me that he had received information of Geo. Janseos intention of a•isembling hie forces and making a stand at Snowig, and requesting I would proceed there, and collect as many troops as possibl e . M eas nees for this I purpose were accordingly taken. On the gih 1 anchored off Semarang, and on toth was joined by Corn. Broughton, with the ships ender his orders, and some few transports. On the same tidy the General, in conjunction with me, sent a sm all/OS to Geu. Jansen!, which was rejected. Ou that night, directed the armed boats of the squadron to take or destroy several of the enemy's gun-boats, lying in shore, with French colours ; this service was cioupktely executed uutler the di• L i rection of Captain 51ausisell, acting eniitain of the Illustrious. The General being in possession of a plan of the town .of Semarang!, wbich marked it as strongly fortified, and hei ng ! unacquainted with the number of the enemy's troops, did a nt think it advisable to land the nine hundred troops which I were collected, but waited for re-Mfurcements from Batavia ; nothing was, therefore, attempted until the 14th, when, ha ving learned that the enemy bad quitted the town of Frain I rang, and retired into the interior, a party of troops was land ed amid took possession of the town without uppesition. ou the 13th, the whole of the troops we re l an d e d, w hi c h now lamounted to 151*w men, preparatory to an attack epos the. enemy's position, en an eminence about 7 mi'es Awn Sams ! rang, where some guns were placed, and a work hastily Outlast' up. Couclading that the final retreat of the enemy would he towards Sourabava, I represented to the General the necessity of being beforehand with the enemy, and immediately...occupy ! ing that post : I accordingly sailed fur this purpose on the t.,' lh, with the Scipio*, Lion, Nisus, President, Phebe, and Harpy, (the four last having joined me on the t4th'; . I in. j tended to collect on my passage such transports, with troops, as bad proceeded under the orizinal icteution of cuing to Suuratiaya, and had not received the counter tads r to go to Semarang. On the 17th I anchored with the squadron, off the town of Ledayo, on the Java shore, 'wading to Cressie, and was joined by three transports, having two hundred effective Senoys, and fifty European cavalry, to these were added the marines of the j squadron, snaking a force of nearly four hundred and fifty lln the lath, Capt.

On the approach of the troops to Siounbay a on the titd, articles of capitulation were agreed upon between Capt.
