pede pursuit; the road beyond it WAS covered with the caps, clothing, !
and military equipments of their troops, who seemed to have been
completely routed and dispersed.
Early in the night Brigadier Winkleman, with some other Officers,
came into my quarters with a flag of truce from General Jansens,
charged to request an armistice.—An armistice of 24 hours was
agreed on.
On the forenoon of the 17th September, an Officer arrived with
powers to treat, and a capitulation was agreed to, which General Jan-
Beni at first refused to approve of; but Sir Samuel Auclimuty imme-
diately threatened to march the troops forward at the termination of
the armistice.
Colo el Agnew gave orders for this purpose in his presence; and
informt.. him, that if General Jansen,' allowed the opportunity of ca-
pitulating now offered to escape, by not accepting the terms already
prepared, no other could he offered. Brigadier Winkleman returned
with all speed to General Jansens, and Colonel Gibbs marched with
his detachment at six o'clock on the road to Soligata, where, after ad-
vancing about five miles, he was met by Brigadier Winklemart, bear-
ing the capitulation confirmed by the signature of General Jansens,
and accompanied by a letter, No. 2, which strongly marked the acute-
ness of his f. &- at being compelled, by the desertion of his allies,
all the (testi uction of his army, to adopt this measure.
The detachment counter-marched immediately, and after sending a
company (at the request of Brigtelier Witikleman) to secure the gulls
in the post of Soligata, moved back to Oonarang, whence on the even-
ing 1 renirnad to Samarang, just before General Jansens had announced
his intention of joining me at the farmer place. The General, with
great part of his Officers, also reached Semarang that night. I visited
him oa the following day, and at ranged for the eqeioment of a trans.'
pent to convey him to Beeavia will his suite, on wl.ich they embarkeo
it
this morning.
I have dispatched Colonel Gibbs to assume the command of the
divisiao of Soueahaya, to which I have allotted his Majesty's 73th regi-
ment, the 4th volunteer battalion, the light infantry battalion, and the
royal artillery; I have sent a small detachnient under faj.or Yule, of
the 20th Bengal regiment, an Oliccr on whose conduct I have much
reliance, to accompany the Prince of Samanap and his forte to the
island of Madura, where I have directed the Major to assume com-
mand, subject to the general contralti of Colonel Gibbs; he has been
instructed to occepy the small forts of Joanna and Rambang on his
route, and I have directed that of Japara to be occupied from Samarang.
Idiamayo and Pacalonga have ben gar; isoned by troops from Cheribon.
In nieutianing the Puniest of Samanap, it would be mjust to him nut
to reourte prior to my match f:•0111 Samaraeg, to attack the enemy, he
sent to ask my orders, being with 2000 of his people, within a short
distance at llainak. lie visited me on my return to Samarang, end ex-
pressed an earnest wish for the protection and friendship of the British
nation.
have detached Captain Robinson, your Lordship's aid•ele-camp,
with a small escort, to the Court of Solo and D'Jogocarta, to deliver a
letter to tee Emperor and Su'tan, and announce the change that has
taken place,; I have also called upon the residents at their Courts, Van
Braam and lioolehard, to continue, agreeably to the capitulation, the
e-,ercise of their function in behalf of the British Government, and to
secure carefully the publia property of the late govt ritruenr, placed in
the territories of the respective Priocas et whose court they reside.
It will be necessary some to arranee for the guard cf honour attached
to the Emperor and Sultan of the traol,s of the European Government of
Java, and for the occupation of the forts at their capital, and on the
lines of communication to aid between these; but this will be easily
ai-raned when the troops ordered to Samarang shall have arrived, and
the report of Captain Robertson shall have warranted a judgment of
the streegth of these detachments.

SATURDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE.

DOWNING-STEEET, JAN. 25, 1812.

A Dispatch has been received at the Office of the Earl of Liverpool,
addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General F. Maitland, en-
closing the following :

Melazzo, Nov. 8, 1811.
Sia—ln compliance with your desire, I beg leave to transmit a state-
ment of the enemy's forces at Palinuro, under the command of Gen.
Pignatelli -Cercaro, together with a brief account of the action that
took place upon our landing.
The force we had to contend with, as far as could be scrutinized
into from the questioning of prisoners, &c. were as follows: three
companies cif the 2d, or Queen's regiment, two of which were rifle,
and antounting,to three hundred and fifty men ; Corsican regulars, sixty ;
artillery, forty-five; civic guard, eighty; with at least four hundred
peasantry, armed as light troops, and particularly serviceable over the
kind of ground they had to act ; thereby making the total amount nine
hutt.!red and thirty-five men.
This force was acknowledged; but from the reinforcements known
to be .continnally accumulating, the enemy arc supposed to have been
stronger.
I disembarked with fifty of the royal marines, the grenadiers and
skirmishers of the 62d regiment, at about half-past three o'clock,p. nt.
on the Ist instant, leaving Captains Pollock and Irving's companies to
folio w. Upon lading I immediately commenced ascending the heights
when Captain Oldham was unfortunately severely wounded; and after
s,tme firing, in the hope of opposing our progress, we completely suc-
ceeded in gaining them; whereupon I threw out my skirmishers, and
formed the remainder to advance upon the enemy, reserving a part to
attack (and storm, if possible) the telegraph tower, (end another divi-
sion to keep in check the enemy, who menaced my left, as also to
maintain the commanding position on the heights.
The telegraphic tower, and fine adjacent position, we shortly got
possession of; when my attention was particularly drawn towards the
front of our advance, where the enemy had concentrated his main
force, and, under a heavy lire, was endeavouring to force his way to
the heights, huzzaing and drumming as he advanced, while his rifle-
men had the same object in view on our left ; but the steadiness and
