principal produce of Amboyna is clover, of which
the quantity is so great, that the !latch generally

Expedition ; and an additional force was to be sent
from Madras to mann in the capture of it. This
island is as rich in nutmegs, as Amlinyor is in
cloves. It is supposed to produce sufficient for ils
supply of the whole world. From our private ac
counts, we confidently presume that the whole of
the Molaccas are in possession ..f the English be-

and nine men and one officer wounded.
