Estract of a Dispatch from Major General Illeresford to Viscount
Castlereagh, dated Madeira, Funchal, Dec. 49, 1907.
I. have the satisfaction to communicate to your
Lordship the surrender of the island of Madeira, on
the 24th instant to his Majesty's arms.
We had, previously to the ships coming to anchor,
seta to the Governor to surrender the island to his
Britannic Majesty, offering the terms we were autho-
rized, which were acceded to. The troops were im-
mediately landed ; and before dark were in possession
of all the forts, and had the 3d and 11th regiments.
encamped, with their field pieces, a little to the wen
of the town.

In regard to unanimity and cordial co-operation it
is sufficient to say, it was Sir Samuel Hood I had to
act with ; and the object, the service of his country.—
His ardent zeal communicated to all the same senti-
ments, and, the utmost unanimity prevailed.
.had the fullest reason to be satisfied with the
zeal and ardour of all the officers and troops under my
orders.

I have the honour to inclose the articles of capitu-
lation which have been agreed upon.

Captain Murphy, of the 88th regiment, Brigade-
Major to the forces, will be the bearer, and can com-
municate any further particulars your Lordship may
be desirous of knowing ; and I humbly recommend
him to his Majesty's most gracious consideration.
