To Joan ANDULION, Esq. Secretary to Government.
Sta—l have the honour to submit, for the information of the
'Dom the Governor in Council, a copy of a dispatch from Captain
Low, commanding Prince of Wales Island Local Corps, reporting
operations against the pirates in the vicinity of the Korow river.
Captain Low's enterprising spirit in attacking and pursuing the
pirates, in dilficult and unhealthy jungles, appears very conspicaous,
and to have been aided in a meritotious manner by the gallantry
and perseverance of the detachment of Local Corps and armed
Malay boats, which I beg leave to bring to the favourable notice of
the Hon. the Governor in Conned of Fort Cornwallis.
I have, Sec.
(Sigurd).

Sta—l have the honour to report, that, having received inform:-
Aim that many pirates harboured on the banks of the Korbw river,
I hastily formed a detachment, as per margin*, and reached with it
Ithe mouth of the rivet at midnight of the 14th inst. where a small
party of the pirates weolaunediately surprised, said several made
prisoners.
When the tide turned, the detachment was pushed rapidly about
25 miles up the river, to the second position of the pirates, who
were driven out with lose; and soon after to their main and par-
tially stockades' position, laying about ten miles higher up, which
they speedily abandoned. The whole, under their leader °odic),
were pursued up the river, until they were forced to seek security
in the jungle; and I trust, after being thus dispersed, they will not
soon collect again for the annoyance of the native traders to Penang. 1
Eight rantakas, (small pieces of ordnance) with a large quantity of
ammunition and many spears, and other native arms, fell into our
possession, and fifteen boats were sunk, burned, and captured t; a
number of the pirates were made prisoners.
I am happy to state that no casualty occurred, and that only two
I were severely wounded, chiefly by the harp stakes on the Caulis,
and planted in the footpaths lying across the swamps, over which
the pirates were parsued.—l am, /he.

• One native Officer and twenty-five Sepoys to( the Local
Corps, in nine country (disguised) boats, with armed Malayan
crews, and carrying altogether 1 three pounder, 2 one pounders,
and 6 swivels. These boats were placedunder Faustin D'Acunia,
attachetrto Wellesley Province, whose bravery and activity I bad
occasion to notice. Our native Officer and ten sepoys of the same
corps, joined us In a boat, carrying 1 three pounder ou the 15th.
t It is supposed that the pirates threw many rantakas, and other
arms, into the river and swamps, as they fled in very smalicanues.
