From the LONDON GAZETTE, Jan. 2.

DOWNING-STRUT, JANUA 180'.

A Difp'atch from the Relident of the Honour-
able EaR India Company at Amboyna, dAted 6th
July, 1801, of which the following is an Extraet,
been received &y the Court of Directors of the
EaR India Company, and communicated to the
Right Honourable Lord HOBART, one of his Ma-
jelly's Principal Secretaries of State :

I do myfelf the Honour to congratulate your
Lordfhip, in Council, on the important event of
the furrencler of Tcrnate to the Britifh Arms,
which was delivered over, by Capitulation, to Co-
lend Bute on the :tift ult.
The Dutch Governor made a molt refelute
refinance, having defended the place with uncom-
mon fit minds for fifty-two days, though, Pam forty
to add, at the expence of the poor inhabitants,
Who peddled, by famine, from ten to twenty a
day, from our firong blockade by fc., and land.
During this excellent difpofition of oir military
and marine forces, the latter under the command
of that gallant officer Captain HAQEs, the annual
fortlies for the enemy were intercepted through
his vigilance, whiLli certainly contributed, in a
high degree, to the ultimate fueeefs of the enter-
prire. The value of the captured property taken
by the *adroit amounts to a Lack and Fifty
Thoufv.nd Dollars.

The difficulties the Honotirable Company's
forces by lea and land had to encounter on this
arduous fervice; and the fpirit and intrepidity
which they manifefted during a Siege of nearly
two months, do them infinite credit, and have
feldom or ever been exceeded in this part of the
globe. The accounts we have received of the
flrength of Fort Orange, and its numerous de.
'ached batteries, proved exceedingly erroneous, in
fo much that Colonel BURR declares tit; place to
be extremely ftrong by nature, and: inolt excel.
hotly improved by art, with a powerfnl.garrifon,
and fo well provided with arms and amtnunition,
as to throw difficulties in the way of our force,
which were as diftreffing as unexpeded ; they,
however, perfevered and kept their ground with
fo much bravery and refolution as to compel the
enemy to iiirrender their different ilrong holds,
one after the other, until the principal fort and
town were to completely blockaded both by fea
and land, and In reduced by famine, as to make
them Inc fur conditions, which, I underiland, are
very fatisfialory.
I am happy to inform your Lordfhip, in Coun-
cil, arduous as this fervice was, and much
as our ft.rces were expofzil to the repeated attacks
of the (Alertly, the lots of killed and wounded of
the.ttoors :Ines not amount to above nine or ten ;
that of toe marine does nut exceed twelve ibarnen.
