was perfeetly aware of the geheral 3eritimetits
of Rear Admiral Stop(ord, regarding the Object on
which our joint set vices were employed, from the,
unreserVed communication I had held with him.
F bad sailed for SOurabaya with the declared id
of attacking Fort Louis, and of returning
to his station when the service was accomplished ;
and he was most anxious for its speedy termination,
as he had informed we, he did not think ships
would be sate cin the 'northern coasts of Java after
the 4th of October, unless Soorabaya was in our
possession.

All these considerations were sirong in my mind
against the delay of a reference to him, and con-
fident, ttot the important object of obtaining for
Great -Britain an immediate surrender of the island
ought not to be impeded or delayed by any point
merely of form, I did not hesitate to act individu-
ally, and on my sole responsibility, for the interests
of the State. I had also cause to fear, if the favour-
able moment was allowed to pass, that the allies of
the enemy might recover from their panic, that Ge-
neral Jausens might learn the small amount of our
force, that he might again collect his troops and te-
tire on Solo, w here, profiting by the period of the
approaching rains, he might prolong the contest,
and though I could not doubt its ultimate success, a
war in the interior would have embarrassed our ar-
rangements, and have involved tire affairs of the
colony in inextricable confusion.
On the forenoon of the t 7th September, the
Comtuandeur De Kock, Brigadier and Chief of the
Staff of the French army at Java, arrived at Oona-
rang, with powers from General Jansens to treat of
a capitulation, which I authorised Cblonel Agnew,
the Adjutant-General of the forces, to discuss with
him on my part : the result was the signature by
them of the articles I have the honour to inclose,
No. I, with
,which General De Kock returned in the
afternoon to,obtain General.Jansens' approval.
• At three o'clock in the morning of -the., 18th,
Brigadier Winklenian arrived at my quarters from
General Janseos, who decline:l to sign the articles
which had been agreed upon, adverting particular-
ly to those which concerned the debts-15f the' Go-
vernment to individuals. He requested that I would
meet the General half ‘A ay, or stated that he would,
if preferred, come to my quarters at Oonarang, for,
the vitupose of discussion or explanation of those
articles.

As the situation in which it is evident he stood
deprived him of all claim to those terms of capitu-
lation which, had he profited by the former invita-
tions made while he still possessed the means of de-
fence, he might perhmps have obtained, and as my
situation, with a force unequal to prosecute opera-
tions further in the interior, would not admit of de-
lay, I assumed a -firm tone ; and de,iring General
\Vitikleman to be informed that personal respect for
the character of General Jansens had alone induced
me to grant any terms to his army, announced to
him that the armistice would cease at the appointed
hour, and the troops march forward at the same

time.
Colonel Agnew gave orders for this purpose in
his presence, and informed him, that if General
Jansens allowed the opportunity of capitulating
now offered to escape, by not accepting the terms
already prepared, no other could be offeted. Briga-
dier Winkleman returned with all speed to General
Jansens, and Col. Gibbs marched with his detach-
ment at six o'clock on the road to Soligata, where
alter advancing about five miles, he was met by
Brigadier Winkleman, bearing the capitulation con-
firmed by the signature of General Jansens, and
accompanied by a letter, No. 2, which strongly
marked the acuteness of his feelings at being com-
pelled, by the desertion of his alli.s, and the .de-
struction of his army, to adopt this measure.
The detachment counter-marched immediately
and atter sending a company (it the request of Bri-
gadier Winkleman) to secure the guns in the post
of Soligato, moved back to Oonarang, whence on
the evening I returned to Satnarang, just before
General Jansens had announced his intention of
joining me at the former ',lace. the General with
great part of his officers, also reached Samarang'
that night. I visited him on the following day, and
at ranged for the equipment of a transport to eon-
veY him to Batavia with his suite, in which they
embarked this morning.
I have dispatched Colonel Gibbs to assume the
command of the division of Sourabaya, to which I
have allotted his Majesty's 78th regiment, the 4th
volunteer battalion, the light infantry battalion,
and the royal artillery ; I have sent a small detach-
ment under Major Yule, of the 20th Bengal regi-
ment, an officer on whose conduit I have much re-
liance, to accompany the Prince of Sautanap and
his force to.the island of Madura, wheie I have di-
reaed the Major to assnnre command, subject to
the general controul of Colonel Gibbs : he has been
instructed to occupy the small torts of Joanna and
! .11ambang on his route, and I have directed that of
Japara • to be occupied from Samarang. Idiamayo
and Pacalonga have been garrisoned by troops from

dberthoit. In mentidhing the Prince of Samanap,
it would be unjust him not to report that, prior
to my march from Samarang, to attack the enemy,
he sent to ask my orders, being, with two thousand
of his people; within a short Wstatice at Dranak.—
He visited ate on my return w SJtharang, and ex-
pressed an earnest wish for the protection and friend-
ship of the British nation.

As Colonel Wood requested permission to relic):
quish the command of Samarang, and return to
Bengal, • I appointed Lieutenant-Colonel Watson,
of his Mairisti's 14th Regiment, to relieve him in
the command. The 14th Regiment, a small detach-
ment of artillery, and part of the 3d Volunteer Bat-
talion, have been stationed at Samarang, and will
shortly, I trust, be reinforced by the arrival of the
detachments of the horse artillery, cavalry, and
89th Regiment.
I have detached Captain Robinson, your Lord-
ship's Aid-de-Camp, with a small escort to the
courts of Solo and D'Jogocarta, to deliver a letter
from me to the Emperor and Sultan,. and announce
the change that hai taken place : I have also called
upon the residents at their courts, Van Braam and,
Englehitrd, to continue, agreeably to the capitula-
tion, the exercise.oftheir funtlionsin behalf of the
British Government, and .to secure carefully the
public property of the late government, placed in
the territories of the respetive Princes at whose
court they reside.

I have also required the other public funaionaries
of the late government to continue in the temporary
exercise of their functions, which hitherto I have
found no instance of.their declining'to perform.
It will be necessary soon to arrange for the guard
of honour attached to the Emperor and Sultan of
the troops of the European Government of Java,
and for the occupation of the forts at their ca-
pital, and of the lines of communication to and
between these ; but this- will be easily /arranged
when the troops ordered to Samarang shall have ar-
rived, ,and the report of Capt. Robinson shall have
Warranted a judgment of the•strength of thedetach-
meats,

I embarked this morning in his Majesty's ship
Modeste for Batavia, and shall have the honour of
receiving your Lordship's personal commands, and
discussing with you the several military arrange-
ments which it may be necessary to make for the
security of the island of Java and its dependencies,
previous to my return to Madras, which it is my
wish to do without delay.
I have the honour to be, &c.

Miss PLowDEN has closed her engagement at the
Hull Theatre, Vk here she was received. with great
applause. This Lady has the advantage of a supe-
rior education, and is particularly well qualified, by
early habits, for the line of genteel comedy. From
all we hear, she is one of the very best actresses, in
characters which ABINGTON used to support
that has'been seen since that exce:lent performer
was in her zenith.

ROYAL ACADENIY.—As we had not room to give
a report of the Leatures of Mr. TURNER, the Pro-
fessor of Perspective, this year, as they occurred, we
shall now preserti a brief notice of them in their or-
der. The first 'commenced with the origin of the
rules, and an inquiry wht4her ALBERT DURER or
any earlier master mentioned by PILKINGTON, de-
served the honour of having discovered them. The
Professor hen adverted to their application to ana-
tomy, Lasso 'relievo, and sculpture, in elevated
Situations, as on the Trajan and A ntonine
Columns, the Monument, Bloomsbury Church,
&e. lie then commented on the difficulties
attending the geometric measures, when treated as
drawings, and the disadvantage arising from the
combination, as with Lespeet to distance, by light,
shade, and lines, and expressed 'his regret, that the
system continued more th-rough habit than neces-
sity. The second Lecture related to vision, theo-
retic and 'Practical, Here Mr. TURNER introduced
some judicious and apposite remarks on the union
between Poetry and Painting in perception, and
avin went into scientific researches respeating, rec-
tilinear, curvilinear, and aerial perspettire, describ•
ing their application separately, and concludiog by
deprecating any reEtridion on vision or particular
angle, in viewing, placing, or delineating works. of
Sailptirc,..Architeaure, and Painting. The third
Lecture; which ' took • place last night, was more
scientific than either of the former two, and there-
fore less gratifying to the general auditor. Upon
the whole, the Professor gave great satisfatlion,
and renewed the surprize that an artist of such- high
practical excellence should be so profound in Oleo-
retie acquirements.
