Hiving already 'detailed .in my Di.spatehes of the
Ist, t 4.01, and isih. instant, (\o. 7,8; and 9,)
they:ll'l6lls arrangements that had been made to
enidale ate to carry into effect His Majesty's Com-
mands, cotntnunicated in your Letters of.the r+th
and 31st of jaouary, I have now the Honour to
acquaint you,',.tlOt having been joined on the. 16th,
ar St. John's; Antigua, the appointed rendezvous,
by the Bth West_ Regiment, from Etilish
Harbour, weLsitiled .the same evening,- with the
force there colleded, consisting of a •Detachment of
the Royal Artillery, the 3d and-11th Reginients. of
Foot, -and the Bth West India Regiment, but
owing to the 'calms and light It inds thit prevailed,
we made so little progresf, as not to arrivcat
Bartholomew's, until the motnin2,- of the loth, al-
though the Passage is generally made in the. course
of a few hours.
Rear Admiral Duckworth, conceiving it, might
be useful to order the Andromeda from Antigua,
with a view to prevent any Vessis communicating
with the Island of St. Bartholomew, Capt. Bradt)),
was accordingly dispatched on that service, of
which opportunity I availed myself to send Liente-
milt Colonel Shipley, the commanding Engineer,.
for the purpose of inking observations, and to dis_
. cover where a landing might be made with the least
risk to the Troops. The Report of Lieutenant
COlonel Shipley, and Captain Bradby,• was very
• corred, and, hid occasion required us to have acted
on their information, would no doubt. have.prred
of very essential consequence, in facilitating the re.
dudion of the Island.
A disposition _was •made. for' landing. on the
morning of the• 19th; bUt being becalmed .the
whole of that day,. in sight of the Island, and
thereby losing the aci,:=:ant4ge that would have been
derived from a sudden and unexix' ded 'attack, to-
gether with the information we' had received by a
vessel lately. from St. Bartholomeiv;.`that the Go-
vernor was -unprepared, and indeed possessed no
means of deferice, we determined at once to send in
a Summons, :which was accordingly done on the
morning of the loth, and I am happy to acquaint
.you was followed by the' immediate surrender of
the island.

His Majesty's Ship Leviathan, at Sea,
27th March, 18QT.

I have:the Honor to acquaint' ou, that. the Island
of St. Martin surrendered to the British Forces on
the i4th instant.

.
It having considered of much consequence that tile;
least delay possible should take place after the Sur-.
render of Sr. Bartholo:new, every exertion was.
made to complete the arrangements necessary to
enable us to leave that-Island, • which were finally
concluded on the mi.

•At the moment when we were about to sail, the
Proselyte from England, with nine Transports un-
der convoy, hove in sight, on Which we. mmediate-
ly weighed,
,and joined them about ten o'clock that
night, when we found, that one Transport was
nussing,, with two hundred men of the 64. th Regi_
nient,on board. —On, thel following day a't noon,' we
• were also' joined by the Coromandel; with the ~2d
West India Regiment. :
The ShTs bc War and the Transorts, during the,
night of :he zici, drew as near to the Island_of Sr.
.Martin as appeared consistent with safety, and at
day-light ing morning tt.ood ,into Little
Cole Bay,
The Troou's having been divided into two Bri-
gades, a disr,itinn ‘vas made for landing. The-
First Brig..de, under the Contmand of -Brigadier-'.
• General Fuller, was scompos4'of.the iv Battalion
of the Royals,. the i Ith Regiment,' and zd West In.
dia Reginient, and was destined to make- an attack
on ',Fort Chesterfield,'_ near the Town of IVlarigot,'
situated in thr-FrencluQuarter of the bland,
- The Second Brigade, commanded. by Brigadier-
General Maitland, cothi:ited of Six Companii!s of
the 3d Regiment, th,e'64,th, and pour Companies of
the Bth West India ; and was intended for the at-
tack-of Fort Amsterdam, and the Town of Philips..
burgh in the Dutch Quarter, a proportion of Field
'Artillery being attached to each Brigade.
The Bay fixed on fur the Troops to land in be.
ing in the Dutch °timer, and contiguous to Fort
Amsterdam, the• zd Brigade was' in consequence
landed first; which was effeCied without opposition.
During this Operatiolythe Transport arrived with
the_ vart of the 64. th RegiMent, which had beer.'
and.being ordered to run close in With The
shote, the men were landed in time to join their
Regiment. •

Brigadier-General Maitland, having gained the
Heights towards:Fort Amsterdam, was soon opposed
by dc;::, 11_41 Parties Of the Enemy. The Bth, West
Indi4 gegimenr, being principally engaged on those
occasions, was always successful. '

It appeared that almost the whole Force of the
Enemy had I,cen drawn to the' Dutch quarter,
whereas it was expefte&that the principal resistance
would haviheen made 'itit'ort thetterficld.
The Enerny, rather *than ,Ait an 'attack from
our Troops, which, the
` y.were dto expect, by otir-
pOssesing'the.l,-leiglitsa-t no gre (distance frqtn the
Fort and 'Lowe, determined to' attack, vith a..con-
siderable part 'Of their Force, one of the Positions
which we octupied, and brought' out. t‘f7o "field
pieces with about three hundr{d msp for the,purpose.,
The Dody of our Troops, on Which this attack
was made, Consisted of four Companies ,of.tlie sixty
fourth Regitrient; under the immediate command of 1
Lieutenant COloner PakenhaM, and two COmpanies
of =the' Bth Vest India;Regiment, who evinced, on ,
this occasion,.•4re greatest; courage and steadiness, '
repulsed and pursued the Enemy, and took possession
of the two .field,pieces. . - •
The loss of the Enemy, which they' thefnselves
state-to be Much more considerable, Was certainly
not less than..between filTry and sixty kiged'ind
wounded, which must appear a.great dumber when
compared with the few men ve had wounded in
this afFair. . ,

That the 64th, one of the 'finest Regiments 1
ever saw, commanded as it was, should have behaved
in manner is not surprising; but
I have peculiar .satisfaetion in being enabled to
add, that the Bth West India Regiment, formed
' within. the last three years, and composed almost
entirely of new Negrde.., who never had before seen
an Enemy, engaged with a degree of gallantry, and
behaved in a manner that-would do honour to any
Troops. •
- After ,the Attack now Mentioned,. the Enemy
made no further attempt, blit between four.and five
o'clock in the afternoon a communication was open-
ed, and the Capitulation finally concluded by twelve
that night.
The first Brigade, when landed, proceeded to the
French Quarter without opposition,,. and wok pos-
session of Lee's Hill, which command's _Fort Ches-
terfield, and had prepared to commence an Attack,
which was ordered to be "made on ,that Post at day-
break on the 25th. - •
The Crews of some Privateers, who Iforined a
considerable part of the Fnemy's Ford; finding the
attack on our Position•itad failed, returned to their
ships and put to sea.
-The regular,. Troops,. to. the number of at least
"three hundred-and ,rwerity, had laid down their arms
before my departnie ;" and it is•probable there were
tlll,triore who ,bad no, then surrendered.
The Officer of the Navy and the geamen went
through the laborious task of disernbarkiog the
-Troops, and dragging the guns up steep and rugged
hills, with 'a spirit acid cheerfulness highly honour-
able. to themselves, and gratifying" -to those who
witnessed their'ztal and exertions. Were I merely to
say that Rear-Admiral DuckWOrth.gave every possi-
ble assistance, I might be undet7tood only to mean
that he did his duty ; an expression. torally , inade-
quate to, convey what feel, as,- exclusive of all

meaning of the,word'Doty, his -many a6ts of kind_.
ness must be-remembered bY:mewith gratitUde, and-,

I have alsO much pleasure in bearing testimony
to the zeal manifested by the whole of the Troops,
whose condtitt was so highly creditable, as to entitle
them toirty warmest praise.
It likewise affords' me particular salisfaetion
have an. opportunity of expressing, -through thi,
