ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, DECEMBER IS, 1811.

Captain Stopford of the royal navy, arrived to-day
at this Office with Dispatches, of which the following
are copies and extracts, addresssed to John Wilson
Croker, Esq. by Rear-Admiral the Hon. Robert Stop-
ford, Commander-in Chief of his Majesty's ships and
vessels at the Cape of Good Hope, and Commodore
Broughton, late Senior Officer of his Majesty's ships
iu the Lot Indies.
His Majesty's ship Seipion, Batavia-Roads,
August 20, 1811.

Sut—l shall confine myself in this letter to the re-
lation of the circumstances attending the naval co-
operation with the army, in the attack upon the Island
of Java ; and I have to request, you will acquaint my
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with the nn.
conditional surrender of the Capital City of Batavia,
on the Bth instant, and the destruction or capture of
the greatest part of the enemy's European troops, by
a suctx.4sful .issault, made upon a strongly-entrenched
and fortified work, called Muster Cornelis, on the
morning ot the 26th, by the troops under the com-
!nand of Lieutenant-Genet-Al Sir Samuel Auchmuty,
who had also with him the royal marines of the
squadron.

Previous to this important and decisive advantage,
the General had caused battt ries to be erected. con-
sisting of 211 P 18-pounders, which were entirely man-
ned by 500 seamen, from his Majesty's *hips, under
the direction of Captain Sayer, of his Majesty's ship
Leda, assisted by Captains Festing, Acting Captain
of the illustrious ; Riansell, of the PTOCTIS Key-
golds, of the Hesper ; and Captain Stoptord, who
tolunteered his services from the Scipion, where he
was waiting for his ship, the Otter.
The enemy was enabled to bring 34 heavy guns,
18, 'lO4, and 32-pounders, to bear upon our batteries ;
but from the superior and well-directed fire kept up
by the British seamen. the enemy's guns were occa-
sionally silerced, and, on the evening of the 25th,
completely so ; their front line of defence also ap-
peared much damaged, and many of their guns were
dismounted.

So favourable an opportunity was, therefore, seized
by the General, and the fortunate result of the assault,
on the morning of the 26th, followed, as before men-
tioned.
The fatigue of the seamen was great, and much in-
creased, by being exposed to the hot sun of this cli-
mate, for three successive slays, during which time,
the fire was kept up with little interruption, but it was
borne with their charatteristic fortitude, Capt. Sayer,
and the officers above mentioned, setting them noble
examples.
I beg leave to acknowledge my thanks to Com-
modore Broughton for his scaly assistance, advice
and cooperation in all measures relating to the
public service.
The conduct of tile Royal Marines in the various
services in which they have been employed with the
army, and at the assaults of the place, was so meri-
torious as to procure them the public thanks of the
Commander in Chief of the forces.
I herewith inclose a list of the killed and wounded,
and it is with much regret I add the name of Cap-
tain Stopford, who had his right arm carried off by a
Cannon shot whilst actively employed in the batteries;
he is however doing well, and I hope soon to get him
removed to a better climate.
Lieutenant-General Sir Samuel Auchmuty being
desirous of transmitting an account of his success to
England, I send this dispatch by the Catoline, which
ship ,was previously under orders to go home ; and
am happy to avail myself of so good an opportunity
as is offered by Captain Cole, who has had a large
share in every thing relating to this expedition, and
from his knowledge of all the parts of the operations,
can communicate to their Lordships the fullest ac-
count of them. (Signed)
ROBERT &MORD, Rear Admiral.
