(Extract.) " May 3.
"We beg to forward a copy of a letter from
Captain H. B. Lynch, of the Indian Navy, command-
ing the Indian Naval Squadron in the Bay of Bengal,
to the address of Sir Henry Leeke, containing particu-
lars of the capture of Rangoon by the British naval and
military forces on the afternoon of the 14th ult.

" CAPTAIN H. B. LYNCH, COMMANDING THE SQUADRON
OF THE INDIAN NAVY IN THE BAY OF. BENGAL, TO
COMMODORE SIR HENRY LEEKE, CO3IMANDER•IN-
CHIEF OF THE INDIAN NAVY.

" Sir,—ln continuation of my,last letter of the 10th
inst. I have the honour to inform you that Rear-Admiral
Austen and the whole of the squadron having joined us
below the Hastings Send, on the evening of Saturday,
the lOtle, the squadron under my command—each vessel
having two transports in tow on the morning of the 11th
(with the exception of the Zenobia, which vessel un-
fortunately grounded on the De Silva Shoal, and was not
in company) crossed the Hastings Sand, and anchored
a little below the stockades, having cast off the trans-
ports when clear over the Hastings Shoal. Almost
immediately on our anchoring, at 9 30 A 31., the
enemy opened fire, which was returned by the
Fer(in. Sesostris, and Moozuffer,. the B-?renice and
Mediisa having anchored some distance below. At
9 40 AX. the magazine of the principal stockade at
the King's-wharf was blown up by a shell from
the squadron; at 10 A.M. her Majesty's ship Fox passed
up in tow, and opened fire. The enemy's fire was soon
silenced; at 10 15 &la. (leased firing, and at 30 minutes
past noon a party from the Fox landed, took and burnt
the Della stockade, on the right hand of the river. At
5 P.M. weighed and stood up the river, anchoring ahead
of her Majesty's ship Fox, abreast of the King's-wharf,
the Admiral having previously taken and burnt the
stockades on the right, or Dane bank of the river; at
5 15 Pat, two stockades just above •us having opened
fire, were quickly silenced by our fire, and the maga-
zine of the stockade on the upper wharf bjown
up, the enemy's lite ceased for the night. At 4 Lea
next morning (12th April), landed her Majesty's
51st Regiment from the Feroza and Sesostris, and
the 9th and 35:h Madras Native Infantry from the
Moozaffer and Zenobia, the Zenobia having joined during
the night. Having landed the troops, and obtaired the
Admiral's permission, proceeded up the river and
anchored abreast the upper stockade, with the Sesostris,
Mo. zuffer, Zenobia, and landed parties from the
ves-e1; of the squidreu under commend of Captain
Gimped!, and burned tho stockades with Alt opposition,
the slieray having evacuated them previously to the
lending of the party. " Being now abreast of the Great
Pagoda, and the line of the principalml dhe
ui,neestoscksidi
jouga,t
and
upper end of an open plain, e
found we could do so with effect, the shells bursting
over
the pageda. Ceased firing by signal from the
Admiral.
Corainodore Lambert came on board and desired me
to proceed up to Kernmendine, where her Majesty's brig
Serpent, and Phlegethon steamer had attacked the stock-
ade, weighed aid stood up, Moozuffer in company, and
anchored at dark a-head of the Serpent, about three-
quarters'or a mile below the Keromenaine stockade.
"The next morning (April 13), flood tide having
made, the river being too narrow to allow the ship to
swing at anchor off the stockade, dropped up in company
with the Serpent,,Muozuffer, and Phlegethon, abreast
the stockade, which not returning our fire, landed a
party from the vessel, as previously arrang,d, under
.command of the first lieutenant of the Serpent, and
burnt the Stockade, the enemy having evacuated it on
the approach of the steamers. I then returned, Moo-
zuffer in company, and rejoined the admiral off Rangoon,
anchoring, in the same positions as yesterday, abreast
the Great Pagoda, and the squadron shelled the pagoda
daring the night, by order of the Admiral. At two
A at. ceased firing to allow the troops then near the
.steckado to advance; and I am heppy to inform you
that Rangoon was taken by our troops this afternoon.
" I send this off too hurriedly to be able to forward
any other papers from the sqaadron, which I am happy
to state is all in good order and health.
"It is prohebte the Moozuffer will be detached for the
protection of Martaban, the Zenobia, and Berenice for
troop to Vizsgapatara, end the Sesostris to Calcutta
with dispatches., •

" I have;&c.,
" U. B. LYNCH."
