ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, FEB. 19.
Lieutenant Cator, acting as commander of his Majesty's sloop
the Otter, arrived here this morning with dispatches from
Vice-Admiral Bode Commander in Chief of his Majesty's
ships and vessels at the Cape of Good Hope, to John Wilson
Croker, Esq. Secretary to the Admiralty, of which the follow.
ing are copies.
Afticalne, in port Louis, isle of France,
December 6, 1810.
SIR—I have the honour to announce to you, for
the information of their Lordships, the capture of the
Isle of France and its Dependencies, comprehending
the extirpation of the naval force of the enemy in
these seas, and the subjugation of the last remaining
colonial territory of France.
By my communication addressed to you on the
12th of October last, and forwarded to England by
the Otter, from Bourbon, I had the honour to ac-
quaint you, that I was on the point of resuming the
blockade of the Isle of France ; I accordingly arrived
off this port on the 19th, and finding the whole of
the enemy's ships in the harbour, and two only appa-
rently in a state of forward equipment, I left Cap-
tain Rowley, with the Boadicea, Nisus, and Nereide
(late la Venus, captured by Commodore Rowley,)
to watch the movements of the enemy ; ane having
previously detached the Ceylon and Staunch to
convey the division of troops trom Bourbon to Rod-
riguez I proceeded with the Commander of the for-
ces, (Major-General the Honcurable John Aber-
comby), who had embarkel in theAfricaine, towards
that anchorage. On the 24th 1 was joined by Rear
Admiral Drury, with a division of his squadron, viz.
Russell, Clorinde, Doris, Phston, Bucephalus, Cor-
nelia and Hesper, and taking under my orders for
the time being the Rear-Admiral with the ships un-
der his command, I was enabled to strengthen the
blockading squadron, by detaching the Cornelia and
Hesper for that purpose; and with the others made
all sail In- Rodriguez, where the squadron arrived
on the Sd of November,.and found lying there the
division of troops from Bombay ; on the Gth arrived
the division from Madras, under convoy of the
Psyche and Cornwallis. On the Bth Rear-Admiral
Drury sailed with the Russel, Phaton, and Buce-
phalus, to resume his command in India ; on the
12th arrived the division from Bourbon under con-
voy of the Ceylon.
The diviions from Bengal and the Cape not ar-
riving by the 2Jtb, the season being so far advanced,
and the anchorage (surrounded by reefs) by no Means
secure, more particularly for so large a number of
ships, I determined on weighing with the whole fleet
on the morning of the 22d, proposing the convoy

should cruize to windward -until joined by one or
other of the divisions. Very fortunately, intelligence'
was received on the night of the.2lst that the Be., 101
division, under convoy of the Illustrious, was in the
offintz. General Abercromby deemed it, as well as
myself, adviseable they should not anchor; but that;
having communicated with the convoy, and giver'
them such supplies as they might essentially regales.*
we shotild proceed to the attack of the Isle of France,
without waiting the junction of the trorips• expected
from the Cape. The whole A .et acc.2rdingly weioh-
edlrom the anchorage, and on the morning 4 dig
29th bore up for the point (1 debarkation it had bleed
determined to occupy in Grande Baye, about twelve
miles to windward cf Port Louis, Where the Aki,
caine leading in, and the several ships of war follow-
ing with the convoy, according to a pfevirs arrange-
mem, the whole fleet was at anchor by ten o'clock
A. M.; consisting of nearly seventy sail; and the
army, with their artillery, stores, and ammunition,
the several -detachments of marines serviog in thi
squadron, with ;large body of seamen, disembadced
the same day, without a single loss or accident ; 4.
division of ships still maintained a virrons blockade' '
i of the port ; another division remained for 'the pro-
tectiNNCtireeilvey ex.the anshosaguaqiia thirat;

• station as circumstances-required, to keep up a more i
effectual communicidotf with the army as it advanced,
I and which was dependent for its-supplies of provisions
and stores wholly on the resources of the navy. -
On the 2d inst. the Governor-General, De Caen,
proposed terms of Capitulation, and, commissioners
being appointed on either side, a, capitulation wad
signed and ratified on the morning of the 3d inst. a;
the British head-quarters, a copy of which I have this
honour to transmit for their Lordships' information.
In a combined operation of this nature, the ulti:
mate success of which mist essentially, in a great de.
,rtree, be made to depend upon a zealous and.emula.
flive co-operation and support through each gradation;
I and in the present instance, where these features have
been so eminently conspicuous in every rank, and izi
every situation and circumstance, the., ecommendation
of particular individuals to their Lordships' mow '
immediate notice mi.; he deemed superfluous.
It is however, from a sense of justice, that I record
the services of Captain Beaver, t.f his Majesty's ship
Nisus, whom I intrusted with. the superintendance of
the whole arrangements for the disposition' and de-
barkation of the army, and whose abilities anal expe-
perience on similar occasions particularly qualified
him to undertake this important outy.. Nor should I I
omit to bear testimony to the unweaned eteitions of
Captain Patterson, cf his Majesty's' ship. Helper, ard
of Lieuteivtnt B. Street, commanding thegovernmeat
armed ship Emma, who were employed' for many
successive nights in ,sounding, and, as it has been
proved, gained a perfect knowledge of the anchorage
on the enemy's coast, and who were equally strenuous
in their services in various ways on shore.
I beg also to recommend to their Lordships' notice
Lieutenant. Edward Lloyd, who volunteered his ser- •
vices under the immediate eye of the Commander of
the forces, and in this, as well as many former in-
stances, has received the most honourable testimonies
•
of his gallantry.
I have the honour to transmit the copy of a letter
addressed to me by Captain Montague of the Royal
Navy, who commanded the Ist division of the seamen
landed, as well as two extracts from General OrderS
issued at headquarters. From the absence of some of
the ships, I have not been able to collect the returns of
the number of marines and seamen landed, or of the
loss; but I have the satisfaction to know it has been
very inconsiderable.
The return of shipping, as correctly stated as I
have yet-been able to collect it, I have the honour to
inclose. Various cons.derations have impelled me to
dispatch the Menelaus with the least delay possible,
and having intrusted these communications to the
care of Captain Rowley, who will be the bearer of
them to their Lordships, I beg to refer their Lord-
ships to him for every further particular, and to add
that his long and arduous services on this st ttioa have
established a just claim to any honourable distinction
it may please their Lordships or the country to be-
stow on him.—l have the honour to be, &c.
