tempted. HI looked it extremely well, but its the
love scenes he betrayed a deficiency of ardour and
sensili;lity. The audience felt it, and the applause
was partial. He was most successful in the short
mad scene, after the death of .S.zioutorde, and the
audience did him jusiice. Miss Swirls was the
Segilmundn. This lady advances rapidly in public
favour. The whole of her performance was ho
noured with the most distirptished mirks of ap•
probation. In the scene with her father, when be
proposes Earl Orru.nd to her as a hu b n,!,

peated. On the whole, she d: plt)ed much ability

SIR,
1. I have the honour to transmit to you, for the
information of His Excellency the Most Noble the
Governor-General in Council, copy of A letter, under
date the Id instant ; from lieut. Deane, commend-
ing the Hon. Company's cruiser L-s Fret.** Miss
conveying the accounts of his having engaged the
ship Cairidla, on the Ltd ult. and captured that
s eisel, after a contest of 40 minutes.
t. I have already had the honour of detailing to
His Excellency, the mode in which the Calisistta had
been manned and armed, and the great injury that
the Esstern ['rade had sustained from the piratical
freebooter who commanded her. I am happy to
inform you that this man, the brother of the Rojah
of Sambas, was kiln in the aftion.
1. The difficulties of access to the Caleatia, eta-
tinned in a strong position. and supported by two
• large China junks, several miles up the river of
8.4111/141, c-ritribute weedy to the honour of the
achievement, au.; realist great credit en Lieutenant
Deane's abilities, valour :Lad perseverance.
4. I.ieutenaut Deane has served under my orders
for nearly five years, during which period of time,
I Imre invariably experienced, in hint, every quali-
fication of a valuable Officer, and a 'Series of coa-

dna. that has uniformly entitled hi* to my highest
approbation. I, therefore, take the libe-tr of re-
commending Lietuenant Dear .e to the most favour-
able notice of His Excellency in Council.
5. Ihe able support that Lieutenant Dune re-
ceived from Captain Lynch, commanding the ship
Belisa,zus, is highly creditable to the public zeal
and intrepidity of that Officer, and corresponds with
the favourable report, that I bave, on frequent (Kea-
&inns, made to His Excellency, respeel:rig the wish-
toilous conduit of Capt. Lynch, in wilunteering
for the public benefiP. I !save the honour to be,

win wished ;much to pi.sceed with us to Pontiana.
where we anc't•,red on the I I.th, and delivered
your letters and presents to the Sultauns of Pontiana
and Mompawa, who acre much pleased, and ex-
pressed themselves highly sensible of the honour
done them.
Having gained every information respelling the
Calruita, and a party Or Chinese, in seven brats, to
attend us up Sambas River, where the ship Was said
to be lying, I put to sea, with the un the
morning of the 16th. and, on the 18th, anchored a-
breast of the river. On the 19th, After much trouble,
and the loss of 200 bags of rice, which Capt. Lynch
was obliged to throw overboard, we succeeded in
getting the ship over the bar, and proceeded up the
river. On the 21st, at night, we seized five Chi-
nese, who informed me, the Carr/tor was at anchor
Amin four or live miles up the small river of Sam-
bas. and that two China junks, and six large prows
was moored near her, and all well provided with
gams, to prevent any thing pa.•ing. Having gain-
ed this information, and not having a good opinion of
the Chinese, in their boats, deter mined me to attack
them with both vessels ; and, at 11 ,r. ,t. on the 22d,
1 weighed, and stood up the small river, followed
by the Briiraris.. At a quarter before noon, I saw
the ship, with a pink and three large prows, moored
on each side of her, and so close, as to prevent a vessel
going between them ; immediately we got near,
they began to fiie from all the vessels. which was
not returned by me, until within pistol-shot, when
I anchored, and commenced the ailion upon art many
as we could get the guns to bear. In forty minutes.,
we had mink two prows, and silenced the ship, junk,
and remaining prow, that was moored on her lar-
board side ; the others kept up a brisk fire, until
they were driven from their guns overboard, by the
boarding party. At • quarter atter two, p. at. we
took possession of the ship, two junks, and two
prows, the other two made their escape up the river.
Captain Lynch was prevented by the narrowness
ti the river, getting so near as he could have wish-
ed ; nor could he, although every exertion was
made, get a gun to bear upon the enemy, until the
dos* of the aaloa.
I am happy to inform you, that our loss is very
• considering the number of guns we I:ad at
one time playing upon us ; having only one Enna-
pears killed, and four Europeans and two Sepoys
wounded, who, I am happy to say. are all recover-
ed. The Strang of the Belisariass was shot through
the leg in boarding,who has sincedied of his wound.
I could not, in justice, ears* this, without express-
ing my satire satisfaction of the Officers and ship's
company for their steady behaviour during the
• particularly Lieutenants Wheaten and Phil-
lips, and Mr. Lord,in being so adlive in boarding.
'Floe lesson the part of the enemy must have been
very considerable, having fouled ten men dead en
bawd the skip, arid IS on board one of the junks.
I him am been able to ascertain the number on
board the other vessels. The pirate, brother of the
Unit afSaasbas. was wounded in two places, but
a• drstled his escape in a small boat. I have since
Men informed that he died of his wound.
We have had great difficulty in getting the Atli-
