About nine o'clock. three alarm guns wee fired
at Ontust, and shortly after several large EitgFsh
shir made their appearance; some of which, alter
a short cunnnnade, silenced the Fort at Oncost, and
took pnssestton of it and a cniv,tte lying, there,
which they immidiutely manned and brought in
with the flee. All the Da:ch ships, and one Prta....
sian, then slipped their cables, and ran ashore near
the Eastern batteries, under all the sail tbs.', could
set. At this time, the Powerful. 74, was dis-
patched to the Eastward in chase of a large Swedi:h
ship, which had sailed early in the morning.--
At half-past ten, a. ns. the Seql/evier brig passed in-
shore of u., and mem iss calm of seine Dutch
ships on the east side of the Bay, which had just
sailed for Samararg. Dircely afterwards, the Terp-
sichore, followed by the Callao!, Drcie, Rama,
Belligmtaz, the cnrsette Wit/Sumo, and a brig which
had been captured the day before, bound from Ban-
tam to Batavia, with powder, tcc. came into the
toads in the ot der mentioned, and took their stations
as follows :

The Cid&dew, Admiral Sir Edward Pellet', an-
chored about 1:00 yards within where we lay. The
Terpsichore, south south-east from her, well in-shore
towards the batteries and the stranded Dutch ships.
The Drake to the eastward of the Terppehere, and
a little to htr starboard quarter. The Be&greys.
after shifting from her first position by signal, an.
chored S S.F.. from the Admiral, and as near the
shore as her draught of water would permit, to as-
sist in taking eff the fire of the batteries and Dutch
ships from the Drake and Terinielsore. The Rarsett
anchored three quarters of a rile to the northward.
and the two pria..3 about the same distance to the
Eastward of the Cud&den.

A heavy cannonade-then commenced, and was
kept up till about two o'c:oek in the afternoon. when
the boats of the squadron were manned And sent in
under cover of the fire of the ships, to burn the
enemy's vessels. This they executed amidst a shower
of shot, wbicb felt about them in every diropliun,
and frequently threw t"e wior over them; and,
although it appears surprisiog, yet the onlz boat
which received injury was the Catkins's launch.
She received a shot through her bows. which
killed one man, and wounded two others, I believe
mortally. She was near sinking when towed along.
