SIR, Isle of Bourdon, ITO fitly; ato.
I feel much satisfactien ili announcing to you he.
surrender of the Isle of' Bourbon. to his. Majesty's
arms. According to the c,analunication-I had the
honour to make to yon on the 14th ult. I proceeded
to the Isle of Roderiguez, where having wined the
transports from India, and in concert with Lieut.-
Col. Keating -made the necessary arrangements' relri-
tive to the troops, and:eMbarked on board the Boa-
d'cea and Nereije as Many as they could stow, we
proceeded to join the ships of the squadron which I
had kit off the Isle of France, wider the orders of
Captain Pym, blockading 'the three frigates of the
enemy then in port, having previously detached a
light transport to apprise them of our sailing. We
joined theta at the appointed rendezvous, between
the Isles of Prance and Bourbon, on the 6th, and
having embarked on 'board the frigates the remain-
der of the European and part of the Native troops,
made all sail in the evening toward's the points of at-
tack, ,it being intended to push on -shore the great-
est part of the force with all possible celerit,. for
which purpose each ship was provided witlFaddi-
tional boats taken from the transports. • . T
While the main (Wee drew the attention of the
enemy, off St. Marie;' about two leagues to .the
eastward of the town of ' St. Denys, • Captain Pym,
with his usual skill and aetivity, effected 'a landing
about two P.M. froth the 'Siritia;:of all ,the troops
embarked on board of her, 'et to part of the beach
called Grande Chaloupe, six miles to the westward of
the town, where the'enerny were totally unprepar-
ed fur an attack.
The Riviere des Fillies, about three miles to the
east of St. Denis, was intended for the.other point
of descent.
The remaining four frigates (when it was sup-
posed the first landing was secured) ,ithanediately
pushed for the anchorage, and were followed by the
transports as they arrived. The weather, which
till now had been favourable, began. to change; the
'beach on this side of the bland being steep, and
