London, England, 1810-10-26 00:00:00

commanded. the 2d battalion 14th native infantry,

from the time of its landing until the immediate
service was over.
The judicious arrangements of Dr. Harris, super-
intending surgeon, claims favourable notice ; as
does also the teal and attention of Mr. Suigeon
Davies of the Bombay establislunent.
The troops, without exception, his Majesty's and
the Honuurable Cpmpany's, the royal marines
and seamen, conducted themselves with that con.
rage and energy so truly characteristic of British
I soldiers.
I have only to regret ihit the nature of the ser-
vice was such as to preclade the possibility of
equally employing all the troops, as,l am wet! as.
sured that, under any titcnmstanbe of service, their
gallantry and good conduct would be conspicuous.
On the 9th, agreeakly to his Lordship's orders,
Mr. Farquhar was 'mints iii-adirernor of this cu.
lony and its dependencies; at which ceremony Com-
modore Rowley and myself attended. .
I am fully satisfied that the mild and conciliatory
manners of Mr. Farquhar, added to the protection
which British laws afford equally to all, will spa-
' dily have the effect of placing this island in the most
flourishing condition, by skewing to the inhabitants
the difference between a just. Government, and that
tyranny and oppression from which they have been
relieVed.
Lieutenant - Colonel Campbell, with the dank
brigades was dispatched ou the 10th for St. Paul's,
which place, he immediately occupied, causing 1500
of the enemy, composed of Troops of the Line,
Garde Nationale Creole Militia, &c. to surrender
their arms.
1 have deemed it proper, for the presents to divide
the Island into two districts, North P.a4t and South
West, in order to facilitate the distribution of the
troops to the different oat-posts, and I have the sa.
tisfaction to say, that those arrangements have been
already effected, and that that part of the force in.
tended to be employed on the ulterior object of the
Expedition is now in readiness to move at the short
est notice.
LieUtenant-Colonel Campbell, of his Majesty's
33tl regiment, is the bearer of this dispatch, to
whom, as an intelligent and valuable officer, I beg
leave to refer his Lordship for every particular.
have likewise thought it necessary to transmit a
Copy of this tiispatch directed to England, for die
information of his Majesty's Ministers, and have
accordingly ordered on.that.duty Captain Parkin.
