ADMIRALTY-OFFICE. /LILY 2, 181 1. Extract of a Letter from Vice-Admiral Drury, Commander is, Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels in the East Indies, to John Wilson Croker, Esq. dated on board the Samarang, in Madras Roads, Jan. 3, 1811. You will be pleased to lay before the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the enclosed copy of a letter I have received from Captain Christopher Cole, of hit Majesty's ship Caroline, detailing his successful enterprize against the strong, and generally supposed impregnable fortress of the valuable island of Banda, the principal of the Spice Islands in the Molucca seas, with a handful of men, led on to the storm of the place by Capt. Cole, Lieut. Richard Kenah, acting cum• initialer of the Barracouta. His Majesty's ship Caroline, Banda Harbour, SIR, August 10, 1810. I have the honour and happiness of acquainting you with the capture of Banda Neira, the chief of the Spice Islands, on the 9:h August, by a portion of the force under my orders, in con. seqaense of a night attack, which completely surprized the ene my, althouah the approach of .the ships had been unavoidably discovered the day before. '1 he attempt was made with less than two hundred men, con. sisting of the sea:: en and marines, and about forty of the Ma dras European regiment. A dark cloud with rain covered cur landing within one bun. dead yards of a battery of ten guns, where by the promptitude and activity of acting Captain Kenah and Lieutenant Carew, who were ordered with the piketnen to the attack, the battery was taken in the rear, and an officer and his guard were made prisoners, ithina a musket being fired, although the enemy were at quir alias with matches lighted. From the near ap proach of day-light our situation became critical, but we had preaa red a native guide to carry os to the walls of the Castle of Belgica ; and leaving a guard nver the prisoners, and in charge of the battery, the party made a rapid moveine , t round the skirts of the town, where the sauna of the bugle was spreading alarm among the enemy. In twenty minutes the scaling ladders were placed against the walls of the outer pentagon of Belgica - and the first markets were fired by the enemy's sentries. 'l'h e gallantry and activity with which the scalitt ladders were hauled up after the outwork was carried, and placed for the attack of the inner work, under a sharp fire from the garrison, exceed all praise. The enemy, after firing three guns,_ and keeping up an eieffectual discharge of musketry for ten or fifteen minutes, fled in all directions, . «ntt.hroagh the gateway, leaving the Colonel Commandant and ten others dead, and two officers, and thirty prisoners in our bands. Capt. Kenah, Lieutenants Carew, Allen, Pratt, Walker, and Lyona of the navy, Lieut. Yeates and Ensign Allen (a Volunteer) of the Madras service,_ were among the foremost in the escalade ; and my thanks are dtit to 'Capt. Lieut. Nixon of • the Madras European regiment, for the steady ard officer-like conduct with which he directed the covering party entrusted to his charge, and to Lieutenants Brown and' Decker of that reginient attached to the marines. ...; - The day now beaming on the British flag a discovered to us the fort of Nassaui and the sea defences at our feet, and the enemy at their guns, at the different ports. I dispatched Capt Kenah with a flag of truce to the Governor, requiring the ins. mediateaurrender of Na au, and with a promise of protection for private property: At sun-rise the Dutch flag was hoisted in Nassean, and the sea bUtterits opened a fire'on the Caroline: I way induced to send a:second 0.4, statinginy determinatiOn to storm Nassau that instant, and to . ley the town in ashes , if the co:our& were not immediately struck.
