Downing-street, April. 7; 1806.

A Dispatch from IVl,ajor-Gerieral Sir David Baird,
tornmanding His Majesty's Troops at the Cape of
GOO Hope, dated 26th January last, addressed to
Lord Viscount Castlereagh; has been received at the
aifice Of Mi. Secretary Windham, of which the fol-
lovting is an Extra&

I had-the honour to'address your Lordship on the
13th inst. ,relative to the situation of liffairs. this
Colony ; and I now proceed to submit to your Lord-
ship -my subsequent operations against the BataVian
Forces,-commanded by Lietitenant-General Janssens,
and which have terminated in the subjee-tion of the
whole Colony. . . .
According to my orders, Brigadier-General Bergs-
ford advanced. with a detachment of the Army on the
13th inst. to occupy the Village of Stellei-ibOsch, and
secure the, strong Pass of. Itoode Sand, with a view
to exclude the Batavian Forces froth thatproduCtive
porzion•of the Distrid, and to preserve to.ourselves
an undisturbed intercourse with the fariners below
the Kloof. Lieutenant-General Janssens made no
cart to dispute theSeObjeals, but contented himself
With moving his Forces to the summit of Hottentot
Holland's Kloof, and there took post, waiting, ap,
parently, t0.14,-..ceives same overtures of_ pzcification.
Brigadier-General Beresford availed himself of this
aspect of affairs to transmit to Lieutenant-General
JanssenS a Letter.from me, and took that occasion
of announcing that he was vested with powers to
come to- an accommodation with the Lieutenani-
'General. .•

This- propmition produced a Truce for the purpose
of carrying on a Nregot'ation; but it were superflu,
ous to occupy your Lordship's time by detailing the
various pretensions and arguments urged by Lieu-
tenant-General Janssens in objetlion to the terms I
offered to his Army; but the result thereof afforded
so little proSpe& of accommodation, that I deemed
it prOper to move the .59tli and 72d Regiments to
the Roode Sand Kloef, and' the 93d Regiment to-
wards Hottentot Holland, with a view io a combined
operation' with the,B3:lßegiment, which had sailed
on the 14th inst. for nisei' Bay, in order to throw
itself into the Enemy's rear, possess the Attagtios
Pass, and; from that, position, cut off his retreat
through the Distriet of b,vellendatu:

Brigadier-General BeresfOrd had acquiesced in,the
prolongation'ofthe Truce with General Janssens for
a few hours;, in , the' hope that further deliberation
,might dispose him . to listen to the very honourable
and advantageous terms I had offered-bim ; and at
the moment -When every expeetation of his renew-
ing thriSlegotiation littd ceased, .his Military Secre-
tary, Captain Debittz, waited upon me, and pre-
sented,a modified draft of the terms originally pro,-
posed by ire. On my declining to vary the Condi-
tions, Captain Debittz solif.ited pertnission to refer,
my Ultimatum to General Janssens ; and was at
length authorized tO notifyhis acceptance'of

• In consequence of this notification, I dispatched
.Brigadier-General. Beresford With dire&ions to exe-
cute a Treaty on the Conditions first offered to Ge-
neral Janssens, and whereof I have now the honour
to transmit your Lordship an authenticated Copy.
