Captain Phillips the Resident at Macassar (who
volunteered his services in the attack as Aid-de-
Camp to Lieutenant-Colonel Macleod). His situ-
ation, previous to my arrival, was extremely ar-
duous and critical, and (owing to his very small
force) required the utmost firmness and ability to
maintain the honour and dignity of the British Go-

The time granted to the Rajah having expired, I
ordered Lieut.-Col. Macleod to assault the town and
palace as soon as day dawned, and I have the plea-
sure to inform you that all the barriers were carried
successively in the most gallant style, though not
without some loss on our side, and the whole town
and residence of the Rajah were in the possession of
our troops its little more than an hoar from the com-
mencement of the attack, his Highness having with
difficulty escaped by night, attended only by a few
followers.
A body of the enemy, concealed Ivy some houses
at the entrance of the town, were passed unobserved
by the column, and opened a fire on the rear section
of the Bengal Volunteers, which suffered severely;
1 immediately ordered up part of the reserve under
Capt. Fuller, who kept the enemy in check, and the
success of the advancing column soon put an end to
all further resistance.
I have not been able to form an estimate of the
loss of the enemy in the assault, but it was proba-
bly, great, it being the invariable custom of the coun-
try to carry off the killed as well as the wounded.
I 'have no doubt they lost considerably, and three of
their principal Rajahs were known to be wounded,
one, Crain Saleewater Chats, since dead.
The residence of the Rajah being his principal de-
pot, a great quantity of powder fell into our hands,
as well as five pieces of cannon of sioallcatilare, se-
veral stand of colours, and arms of all descriptions;
deeming it, however, essential, for the sake of example,
to punish the Rajah with the utmost severity, for the
numerous insults he had offered to the British au-
thority, I ordered his residence to be burned, and
it was entirely consumed, together with all the pro-
perty it contained, which, I believe, however, was of
triAiog value.
I have not been able to ascertain the exact
strength if the enemy on this occasion, but the
lowest estimate makes them amount to near 3,000
toets.
It is not posible to do justice to the admirable
manner in which the column was led to the assault
by Lleutessant-Colonel Macleod, the services of this
able and distinguished officer have always been truly
meritorious, but never more conspicuous than on the
present occasion : nor can I omit to draw your at-
tention to the seal and gallantry io eminently dis-
played by Lieutenant-Colonel Macgregor, Captain
Cameron, and Lieutenant Watson, Ist the command
of their respective corps, as well as by all the officers
and men in this very handsome affair. It is, per-
haps, sufficient to say they proved themselves worthy
the name of British ,soldiers, and the Impression
which their conduct has made on my mind will be
best conveyed to you by the General After'Order
issued on the occasion, a copy of which I bare the

.THE CROWN PRINCE TO HIS IMOTIIERS lY
ARMS.

SoLutzasl—Your first.wish, like that of all your
countrymen, has long been the onion of the Scandis
nations. It was to attain this peat object
titat we took op arms. Providence has crowned
nor efforts, our hopes have been accomplished;
henceforward Swedes and Norwegians have the same
interests to defend, the same glory to support, and
the same future fate will be for them the reward of
the same virtues.
Soldiers '.. this is one of the finest moments of my
life, when, in the name of the King and the country, I
have to express to you their gratitude for the valour,
discipline, and excellent conduct by which, in show..
fog yourselves worthy of your ancestors, you have
rendered the Swedish name as dear as respected.—
Return to your homes and exemplifying as peaceful
citizens the sortie love of your country, the same
obedience to the laws which distinguished you as
warriors, the favour of your King, and the esteem
of your fellow-citizens will be your merited reward.
