blen-•-.;Be plessed to inform the Lords Comado: '
simmers of the Admiralty, that in obediefsee to their
Lordships' mitts, received by His Majesty's sloop
Fawn. no time was lost in embarking the troops •
previously destined for the expedition against the
Datiiiih islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix. As
the artitlitty, oednance, and.comulioary stores had
been for some time on hoard of vessels hired for
the purpose, we were enabled to leave Carlisle Bay
on the 16th instant, lieneral Bowyer doing me the
honest of accomptitying me iri the itelleisle.
On the 19th we reached Sandy Point, St. Chris-
topher's, and received some troops from that gar-
rison ; and on the 2 lat anchored off St. 'Fbousas,
where we were joined by reinforcemeuts from
Antigua and Grenada, and the troops held in rea-
diness to land at a moment's notice.
Brigadier-Gemmel Shipley, and Captain Fahie,
had been peetiously sent forward in the Ethalion,
charged with ti SUIUMI3IIS to the Governor, to sur-
render the Island ; a copy of which, and his an-
swer, are inclosed. SOOO after they returned, ac-
companied by three Danish Officers, Major-General
Maitland, and Captain Pickmore, of the Ramillies,
were sent on shore with powers to negociate with
the Governor for capitulating, which was agreed to
on the inclosed terms, and signed in the evening.
Having on the morning of the 24d taken poeses-
sion. of the Island, and its dependencies, the first
division of the troops intended for the attack of St.
Croix, was embarked in the frigates and sloops of
war; and the saute Officers again seat forward,
elidrged with a similar summons to the Governor.—
On the morning of the 94th, they rejoined, with
on answer; and about noon the squadron anchored
off the town of Frederickstadt, when three Danish

Officers (as at St. Thomas), came on 1;e0;rC1,;;;I1;
was arranged. that the Governor should, ou the fol-
lowing nursing, 25th, meet Major-General 'Malt-
land, and. Capt. Pickmore, to settle the terms of
capitulation, which was accordingly done, and the
fort teken possesaion of by the troops in the even-
ing ; and last night, the garrison and town of Chris-
tianstadt, on the other side of the island, were also
given up.
Copies of the several Papers before mentioned
are herewith inclosed, together with returns of ord-
nance on both Islands, and a list of ships and
vessel, found in the harbours.
It affords me much satisfaction, that this expe-
dition has terminated without loss to either party :
Defence on the part of the enemy would cnly have
been attended with u iineeemary elTosion of blood, as
their force could not have withstood that brought
against them.
I have the pleasure to state the utmost cordiality
existed between the two services employed ou this
esperlition ; and I feel truly sensible of the readi-
nessuith which General Bowyer met my wishes, in
whatever related to the publie service.
Captain Parkinson, of His Majesty's sloop
Favourite, is charged with this dispatch, who will
be able to give their Lordships such farther infor-
mation as they may desire. I bare the tumour, &c.
