From the LONDON GAZETTE, lane 23, 1804.. Downhrg-street, June 22, 1804. A Dispatch, of which the following is a copy, has been received from M4jor_General Sir Charles Green by Earl Camden, one of-His Majesty's cipal Secretaries of State : MY LOR D, • Paramar;bo, May 13, 1804.. It is highly gratifying to 'me to have the honour of informing your Lordship, that the Colony of Surinam has surrendered to His ,Majesty's arms ; and I have the farther satisfaftion to acquaint your Lordship, that this valuable, acquisition to the Bri tish Dominions. has been made witty very little loss on the part of His Majesty's Troops. In my Dispatches from Barbadoes, of the zd of April, I had the honour to repoit to your. Lord.., ship, that the arrangements for proceeding on the Expedition against Surinam being nearly completed, 1, had reason m exped we should be enabled .to sail from Barbadoes in the course of thiee or four days; aced Commodore Hood having previously signified to me that every titing 'in the Naval Department was -ready, I direEted the final embarkation of the Troops, Stores, &c. on the 6th of the same month. The following day thc_whole Fleet weiipecl anchor and sailed. On the zsth, His Majesty's Ship Centaur, having the Commodore's brOad pendant, and . on board of which I was embarked, came to anchor about. ten miles off the mouth of the River Surinam ; and dur ing that and the next day the greater part of the Fleet also anchored. On the 26thi'a Corps, consisting of the flank Companies, of . the 16th . and 6+th Regiments, the Rifle Company of the 2d Battalion 6oth Regiment, made up by' detachments from the Battalion Corn. parries of the 16th, 6+th, .aml 6th . West, India Re_ girnents, to about six hundred men,. and 'the Ist Brigade of Royal Artillery; `besides armed Seamen, was detached -in different vessels under 'convoy ot. His Majsty!'s Ship Hippomenes, Captain Shipley. This Corps was commanded by Brigadier. General' Maitland; who was direCted -to - effett a landing at the Waralipa Creek, .about ten leagues to the east.. ward of the Surinam River, 'where.the Enemy' oc. copied wpost. The objet} of.this.operation was to . olitain a 'water communication with the Commewyne: River, to procure plantation, boats in sufficient. number to transport the Troops down that River towards its junction with the Snrinam; and thereby facilitate our approach to take a position in the rear of. Foil New Amsterdam ; and, also with a view to, cut "off a considerable detachmenrof the Enemy sta tioned at Fort Brandwaeht; on the Mud Creek.. On the same day. preparations were made for landing a body of Troops to take possession. of Bram's Point, where there is a battery of seven .cighteen:lullit-lcii, which defends., the entrance off` th;_. River Surinam. Brigadier. General Hughes un. der-took to superintend this service; the wind prov ing'favoura6le, His Majety'S Ships Emerald, Pan. dour Allaying the '64th Regiment on board), and Drake Brig of War, got under weigh . to attack the • Battery, when a fire was opened onthe_Ships, which, however, ,was soon silenced by a few broadsides, -and the Enemy struck their . collpts. A detach ment of Troops under Brigadier-Generalflughes, immediately landed, and took possessiorrof.Jiratn's Point, making prisoners a Captain and . fiirty:fopr, men., The entrance being thus secured, the. COM, modore made , signal for the Ships to, - go into the.- River as soon as possible ; in the course of that and. the following day, the most considerable part of the Fleet anchoredin the. River. . • At this reriod the Commodore shifted his pen. dant to the Emerald, and.l accompanied him on board_thatShip. We then judged it expedient to send Summons to the. Glvernor of Surinam, with Proposals for'the,Surrentki• of the Colony. • Captain' Maxwell, of the Royal Navy, and Cap, tain litummond, of the 6cith Regiment (adin-g as my Aid-de-Camp), proceeded up theßiverwith a Elag of 'Trbee ; and,..l4Ving delivered .our: mans to the Governor, -returned in the night with information that an answer` would be sent next morning. On the zBth we received the Governor's answer, conveying a. retusal to capitulate. (Copies of our Summons, with the proposed terms,, and the answer thereto, are. herewith transmitted.) It was•de. terniined that we,should lose no time' in endeavour big to make some impression on the Enemy's posts but I must here beg leave to observe t9.your Lord. ship, that the Coast of Surinam is of very difficult approach, shallow, and full of banks ;. that a latich in is-only to be at empted at the top of, the tide, .and at particular points ; the coast is unclearedond from wood, arid the marshy nature of the soil, it is impossible to penetrate into the interiar, except by the rivers and the creeks. . • The shores on both sides of the River Surinam are equally difficult of access, for the same causes, until',you reach the battery Friderici, with the ex ception of one spot.ori the eastern shore, where a plantation, called Resolution, has been lately esta blisho„ : Our points of attack were therefore eon, fined ; and the Enemy, by means of their forts, Ships of War, and other armed Vessels, were corn. .pletely -masters of the navigation of the River Su rinam above Fort Amsterd'am: • The defences of the River, Ale? passing Bram's Point, are Fort Amsterdam, situated on the conflu ence of the Rivers Surinam and Commewyne s up_ wards of eighty pieces of'ordnsnce are mounted in this fortress. fence. Fort Leyden is armed with twelve heavy guns, and situated on the right Bank of the Surinam, where it meets the Commewyne ; is opposite. co and commanded by Fort Amsterdam, at the distance of abuUt two thousantlyards. . ~,c'\, , , --- /./' I ) • ~. 3 .....,.... 4 % , ,,,,, , ,, N, r* -- ' /- ' ."."'-',.'-'": " 7 ,V - VIN e A• ' - -: '' '. - e : 0 ,1: -,' • '"':: '.

The 28th, the Shirs of War and other Vcss'els proceeded up, the River as fast as die tides vvi:ud admit of. A plan was formed .for ma%ing an attempt on Fort Purmurent : a detachment 'of the 64. th Re.. giment,. under Captain Burton, accompanied by Captain Drummond, my Aid.de.Camp, wit'.} a body' of armed seamen, commanded by Captain. Jervis, embarked at eight o'clock at night for that pur pose, but,. on approaching the fort, they found the tide was onfavourab4 for the undertaking, and returned. r _ ~_ On the. 29th, Lieutenant-Colonel Shipley, corn. manding Engineer;• went on shore at the Plantation before stated, below the Enemies Batteries, .ro en. deavour to procure intelligence; and on returning reported, that he.. had every reason to believe that there .was a praffiCable way through the woods, by.whicha body of men might be conduCted to the tear of the Forts 'Leyden and F7iderici, narit-C,olonel Shipley was indefatigable in ascertain. invite accuracy of this information, in which he was ably assisted by Lieutenant Arnold, of the Royal Engineers, and Mr. Hobbs, Alling Engineer, and the result was such, that a detachment of one hun dred anti forty men, of the 64th Regiment, nnder • the command of the Honourable Lieutenant-Colonel Cranstourt, with Major Stirke, of the 611) West In. dia Regiment,• ten men of the 6th West India Re. - .giment, with side arias, having telling axes, twenty . of the Artificers Corps, provided in the same man. net., and about thirty armed Seamen, commanded by Captains 'Maxwell, Ferris,and Richardson, of the Royal Navy . ; the:Whole ,under.the c o mm an d o f Brigadier-General Hughes, accompanied - ,by !Acute. nant-Colonel Shipley, lieutenant Arnold, of the Royal 'Engineers, and, Mr. Hobbs, .Acting Engi. fleet, whose local knowledge provedexiretnelY use.: ful on this occasion, 17inded between the hours of ten and eleven. at night, at Resolution Plaetation, and proceeded through the woods with Negro Guides. A great quantity of rain having recently f a ll en , it was found that thespath, at all times diffieult,bad become almost impassable, but no obstacle could damp the enterprizing spirit of Our Seamen and Soldiers who, with persevering co . arage,,after a . .laticirious. march of five" hours, ,Ain h d peer the-' - - rear of Friderici Battery. The alarril having been given, a considerable: - fire of grape ,shot was made 1 upon the Troops before they quitted the wood, whilst forming - for the attack, and Of musketry as they approached the Battery. The assault of our intrepid Seamen and Troops with fixed bayonets, was so animated and vigorous as to prevent any fur.. ther resistance. The Enemy fled too-Fort Leyden, having.: set fire t,o the P(Avtier Magazine, by the exploSion, of which a few British (4ficers and Men were severely wounded. Brikadier-General Hughes used no delay in moving on to the, attack of Fort Leydefi,but being under the necessity oftnarching by a narrow road, which was enfiladed by four or rive .duns, received a considerable fire of grape shot on his march; and of musketry on-his nearer approach, which, however, was soon put stop to by a rope., tition of the same impetuous attack . on our part, and 'the Enemy, after some firing s called for quarter, which was generously granted by the Conquerors,. although in. the. Montent. they _Were highly exasPe. fated at the condutt of the Batavian Troops, ire . blowing up the Powder Magazine at FortFriderici, after it had been in Our,possession. A - Captain, with some other Officers, ,and ore hundred and twenty men; were taken at this Bost, about 'thirty having made their escape across the River Comte. wytte to Fort New Amsterdam.- .By this brilliant affair a position was seeured, by' Which . a heavy fire could be..brought, do Fort .New Arnsterdam, a cornmunication with the River Corn.. mewyne opened, the means of forming a junction with Brigadier-General Maitlanci's Corps establish ed, and the command of thefinest.part of the Colo ny, abounding with resources of all kinds, obtained.
