i ~~.. I E ttt Batavia, Sept. t, t. , • , mire lam ;Y 1 iidileVetitentS. lam conscious ilia - 6 net im ny 'of mine can be, worthy their acceptance; but I cannot repress my sentiments, sanctioned, I am sure, by the unanimous .concurrence of every mili tary authority, that the storming the works of Cornelis, followed by the the total defeat and ex tinction of the whole concentrated army of tbe ene my, renders the '26th 'of Ettign4i'a thy honotirable to Ent land,. and glorious 'to Sir Samuel AuchMuty and the army he commands. The fruit of this victory lids been the expulsion of the French Government, and the establishment of the Briiish. 'General Jansen has not canitu hued, but has fled unattende4 and is, a ftigitive in the mountains of Java. Under these circumstances' I 4 have judged it expediem, with the - corfeirrrence'of his. Excellency Sir 'Samuo Auelinruty, id assume the Government that has been 'abandoned; and for that' purpose have published the Proclamation, of which I have the honour to inelbse 'a"Copy, I have the honour robe,' 8,:e; • AI[NTO. %Vcltevreede, LORD,. • After a short• but arduous campaign, the troops, you did me the honottr tc► plaCe under my orthfrs have taken the elpital of haeasslulled and• carriAl , the encrii}"s formidilble works at Vol'oelis, have defeated and 'dispersed.- their 'collee.red. force, and have driven them rant the kingdomtof Ban tam ond Jacatra. This brilliant sPccess:over appointed and disciplined force; greatly', superiorin, slumbers, and in every 'reaped well equipped, 'is' the result of thereat iealYgallantry, and discipline, of the trobps, qualities, which they have'possessecl in a degree certainly never. .surpassed. It is my duty to lay before your Lordship the details of their success, but it is not in my poser to do them the. justice they deserve, or to express how much their country is indebted to them for their great exer , Lions. . • • Your Lordship is acquainted with the. reasons that induced me to attempt a.landitig in the neigh-, bOuritorad of Batavia, 41 was' tattled "WithoM op, position at the village,or twelve miles east of the city, on Jilts 4th instant. My intention was to proceed from t hence :by't he &reel raid to Cornelis, where the euerny's 'force Was - said to be . assembled in a strongly fortified.4Osition,:end to :place the city of Batavia in my' rear, from 'whence alone 1 could expect to derive supplies - equal to, the arduous contest we were engaged in. As some time was required to - make:preparations _tor 89 inland movement, I judged it proper, to reconnoitre the road by the coast, leading to • Batavia; and serve bow far it would be praaicable to petit:trate by that route. I was aware that 11t0;.ttas .extrerhely ,WrOtig, and, if well defeeded,.,nektriimprailicahle. AdVancing u 4.11 part of ;fife: army, A. had the satis eaetion to find that it Was not disputed with its, and the only abpt Ade to o0r,„ progress! was nteasionc,l by' the destrudiou of the _bridge' over the Atijol Jiver, I approaChed - , the river on • the bill, and observing during that evening a large fire in,131- tavin, I concluded it was the intention of the ene my to evacuate the city;, and with this. impres- . siou I directed the advance of the at my, under Co. lonei Gillespie, to pass 'the river in boats on the succeeding eight. They.. lodged tlentselves in the suburbs of the, city, and a • temporary bridge was hastily cottaitruOed on the 'morning of 'the 8111, ca- I' able of supporting_ light On m.et day the burghers of Batavia applied for ; protalion and r rectde red thetity ,without epPositiob, the gartison having retreated to Weltevreede, The.possession of Batavia was of the utmost : im portance. Though large Store-Unities of • public property were burnt by the enemy, previous. to their retreat, and every effort made to 'destroy the remainder, we were fortunate• in preserving some valuable grenaries, and other stores.. Tire city, although abindotted by the principal 'inhabitants, was filled with an,industridristace of pimple,,who could be particularly useful to 'the army, Nevi 'sions .were in abundatice i 'and-ati easy couynunica lion preserved with the fleet; 111. the night a . the 'l3th,' . ke,i)le attempt W4* 0);140 by the, enemy, to cut off . a' Saalrgearti I had sent for the security of the place, but the troops of the advance had, unknown to them, reinforced.the pity early in the evening, and the attack.was' re pulsed.;.: The-advance under..COlonel Gillespie oc tunied the Fity.on the oth,, — ''' • Very early on the morning of the loth, 1 - direacci vol. Gillespie, with his corps, to move from tavi,a, towards the enemy's cantonment, at Welte , yreetle, supported' by two brigadea- of infantry, , that marched before bre...k.• of clay- through .ti r e qi t y, an d followed his route. "Uhe cantonment was ababdoned,, but the enerni were in, force a little beyond' it, and about two miles in advance of their winks ai Cor . -„ nat. Their position wa . ii.fstr4ng, and •defehded b'y an abbatis, oceepied.hy 300,0, of their best . troops, and four guns of horse artillery. Colonel"- Gillespie at tacked it with spirit dud judgment, and, atttr an obstinate reiistanee, carried, it •at the point of the, biyonet, completely routed their , force, and tocik . their guns. A strong 'column. kern their' works ad cowed to their support, but erne titre being i►rrived, they Were instantly pursued, ;Ind iven under shel- . ter,of . their 'batteries. rte this affair, so cretlitablo to colotv.4 , and 44 the. enrpi of ;he advance . , the grenadier cow*, pany of the 78th, prick the delatiltinent of ;the 139fik regiment particularly distinguished, themselves, by charging and capturing the enerny'ii artillery. Our. joss was trifling, compared with the'enemy's, which may be estimated at about fire hundred men, with Brigatier-General Alberti, dangerously wounded, Th o u g h we had hitherto Whet her; rk successful, beyond my moil sanguineexpetlation4, our further progress 4ecatiie extremely diffictilt; and somewhat doubtiul. The enemy, greatly superior in. numbers,, vas strongly entrenched in a • positron, . betiv.een the Great River Jacatra and the Bloken, an:,artificial watercousei neither of which were fordable., This, posaion was shot up by a deep trench, strongly pa lisaded. Seven redoubts, and many batteries, Mounted With heavy cannon, occupier! . .the most commanding,grounds within the lines. The fort of Cornelis:Was in the centre, the whole of the works was defended by a - nUtnerotts and well or ganised artillery. , The season was too fa.• advanced, ,the heat too violent, and our numbers insufficient, to admit of regular approaches. To carry the,works by • thealiertiattee, and on that I deci ded.--- In aid of this measure, I erected 'some batteries, to disable the principal re d ou b ts , a n d- for two.. days: kept up a heavy fire from twenty eighteen pounders find eight mortars and howitzr-rs, Tlie:ir ,exeen lion wa% great, and 1 had the pleai9re to find, that though ansereci at the commericernent of each day, by'a far more numerous artillery, 'we daily silenced - theirmearest hateries, 'considerably 'disturbed every part of their position, and were evidently superior in our Arq. At dawn of day, on the 2fith, the aacaolt was made. The principal attack wris.ntrusted ; _to that. gallant and experienced officer, ColonefGillespie. He had the infantry of the advance; the gre nadiers of the line with him, and was supported by Clone] Gibbs, with the bgth I Regirnelit and the 4th Battalion of 13-ngal Volinneerg.• They were intended, if possible to surprise the redoubt No. 3, constructed try the enemy beyond the Sloken, to endeavour to cross the bridge over that stream with the fugitives, and then. to assault the redoubts, within the line:, Colonel Gillespie attacking those to the lef, and Colonel Gibbs to the right.

The enemy wav under arms, and prepared for the combat, and. General Jansens, the Commander in Chiefs, was in the redoubt where it commenced. Colonel.

They were porseed by Colonel Gillespie, with the 14th • regiment, a party of Sepoys, and the seamen from the batteries under Captain Sayer, of t!.e. Royal ' Navy. By this time the cavalry and horse artillery. had eff4ted a passage through the, lines, the former commanded by-Major TraVers,and the latter' by Cap ta!n Noble . ; and, with the. gallant Coloeel at their head, the porsuit was continued, Oil It* whole Of • theenerny's ariny was-killed, taken, or dispersed.
