greatest part of their artilizry, and were seer in-great
numbers and in greet confusion in full retreat.
Our want of cavalry to follow the fugitives w'th
speed, the steepness of the road, and the necessity for
removing chevaux de frise wi:h which the passege
was obstructed, gave time for the escape of the cue-
my, white our troops, exhausted by theie exertions,
were recovering theii breath.
It was evident that their army was completely (Es-
united, several officers, some of them of enk, were
taken ; their native allies, panic sti lick, liad abandon-
ed their officers, and only a few pieces if horse artil-
lery remained of their field ordnance. With these
they attempted to. cover their retreat, pursued by
Colonel Gibbs, who, with the detachmenr, passed se-
veral incomplete and abandoned batteries ; and a:
noon, and after twelve miles mach over a rogge.!
country, approached the village of Outs trawl*, iii
which, and in the small fort beyond it, the enemy ap-
peared to have halted, and collected ie irregal.tr
masses. Small cannon front the fort and el:lige
opened on the line as it advanced : our field-pieces
were brought up to a comm 'riding station, and by
theii tire covered the formation of the troops, who,
led by Colonel Gibbs, were ad renting to assault the
fort, when it was evacu ited by the enemy ; alarmed
by our tire, they were seen to ahandan it and its vici-
nity in the utmost confusion, leaving some light seuns
with ranch ammunition and provisions in the village,
where they h id broken the bridge to impede pursuit;
the road beyend it was covered With tamps, cktb-
ing, and military equipments of their troops, who
seemed tohave been cempletelyrnitted aniTrp?NeJ.
A number of officers made prisoners confirmed this
belief—our trove had however marched sa tar, that
they were unept 41 to a longA- pursuit, and were quar-
tered in the fort and the barracks which the enemy
had quitted,
Early in the night Brigadier Winkleman, with some
officers, came into my quarters with a flag of truce
from General Jansens, who was stared to be fifteen
miles in advance cf my position. Salatigo, on the
road to Solo—the Brigadier was charged to request
an armistice. that the Governor-General might com-
municate with your Lordship, on terms cf ci pitula-
tion. He was informed by my direct:on, that he
must treat with me, and that without delay. I how-
ever consented, in consideration of the distance of
his position, to grant, for elle express purpose of ca-
pitulation, an armistice of 2$ hours, to commence
from six o'clock on the following morning, and li-
mited in its effect to the forces present ; with this an-
swer Brigadier Winkleman returned, accepting the
armistice proposed.
I was perfectly aware of the general sentiments of
Rear-Admiral Stopford, regarding the- object on
which our joint services were employed, from the
no-
reserved communication I had held with him. He

-had sailed for Sottrabaya with the declared intention
of attacking Fort Louis, and of returning to his sta-
tion when the service was accomplished; and he was
most anxious for its speedy termination, as he had
informed me, he did ,not think ships would be safe cu
the northern coasts of Java after the 4th October, un-
less Sourabaya was in our possession.
All these considerations were strong in my mind
against the delay of a reference to lam, and con-
fident that the important object of obtv.i7ting for
Gseat 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 individually,
and on my sole responsibility, for the interests of tl.e
state. I had also cause to fear, if the favourable
moment was allowed to pass, that the allies of the
enenSy might recover from their panic, that General !
Jansens might learn the small amount (if our force,
that he might again collect his troops and retire on
Solo, where, profiting by the period of the approach-
ing rains, he might prolong the untest, and though
I could not doubt its ultimate success, a wan.in the
interior would have embarrassed our arrangements,
and have involved the affairs of the colony in inexui- I
cable confusion.

[Here toilow the Articles of Capitulation. They are hiAhly
favatrable t 3 th s Country; and, at the same time, reflect great
honour on the British character. The E.:l.:wan troops, under
General iANSEN, surrendered at discretion. The Native Princes,
and their tronr, who fought under him, are treated with great •
humanity an I respect.]
The detail; from Admiral Srorrnao, respecting the Naval
part of the Expedition, next follow. They sate the surrender of
Cheribon,Hamonap,Fort Ludowick, &e. Sc.:. to detachments

of British Sram.ni and Marines. The ct.thloct of C.lpt. HARRIS,
of the Phalle, was uncommonly spirited and judicious. Thu
booty acquired is Immense, and the loss on our aide trifling in the
ex:rerue. We shall give these details to-morrow at full length.
