Letter from Major General Whyte, to Sir R. Abercromby.

SIR,

Demerary, IN obedience to your excellency's

Ν

commands, I left Barbadoes on the 15th inftant, with a detachment of the artillery, and part of the 39th, 93d, and 99th regiments, amounting to 200 men, escorted by the Malabar, Undaunted, la Picque, and Babet frigates, with the Granada tranfport, and five .fchooners and floops, and on the 21ft made the land, when the Scipio joined the fleet. That evening, when the tide made, the Babet and la Picque frigates, with the Granada tranfport, paffed the bar, with the fchooners and boats of the fleet, and came to anchor, within random thot of the fort, at the entrance of the river; and baving, during the night, prepared every thing for attack, at day-light appeared in force, when I fent a flag of truce by li utenant- colonel Hiflop of the 39th regiment, fummoning the governor to furrender the colony and its dependencies to his Britannic majetty's forces, agreeable to the terms which I have the honour to inclofe, and which the governor and council accepted. The unanimity with which the fervice was carried on between the

fleet and army was pleafing to all concerned, and Mr. Higgins acquitted himself with much propriety and utility. Captain Parr, who commanded the fleet, has affifted and fupplied us from the fleet liberally: and I have the fatisfaction to inform your excellency, that from every information I have received, and from above feventy fhips being actually loaded with the produce of the country, now in the river, (moft of which will be fent to Esgland) and from every account of the fertility of the foil, it is a moft important acquifition to Great Britain.

The colony of Bernice, adjoining to this, being separate government, I fhall direct my attention to it without delay and I fhall leave lieutenant-colonel Hiflop in the command here, agreeable to your exellency's directions.

:

The Thetis, a Dutch frigate of 24 guns, and a cutter of 12 guns, are added to the fleet; and captain Parr has given directions for deftroying or bringing down the river a French brig privateer of force.

I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) JOHN WHYTE, maj. gen. Sir Ralph Abercromby, K. B.

&c. Sc. &c.

By major-general John Whyte, commander of his Britannic majefty's land forces, &c. &c. &c.

and

and captain Thomas Parr, com. mander of his Britannic majefty's thips, &c. &c. &c.

Thefe are requiring you, the governor and council, military and naval forces, of the colony of Demerary and its dependencies, to furrender the faid colony to his Britannic majesty's forces under our command, and to place the faid colony under his majesty's protection, and quietly and peaceably to fubmit to his majefty's govern

ment.

In which cafe the inhabitants fhall enjoy foil fecurity to their perfons, and the free exercife of their religion, with the full and immediate enjoyment of all private property, whether on fhore or afloat (excepting fuch as may appear to belong to the fubts of the French republic) according to their ancient laws and ufages, or fuch other as may be dete: mined upon previous to the colony's being placed under his majefty's government, upon the moft liberal and beneficial terms.

That in the event of the colony's. remaining underth British government at the conclufion of a general peace, it shall erjoy fuch commercial rights and privileges as are enjoyed by the British colonies in the Weft Indies. With regard to the military and naval forces, that the officers and men of the land forces fhall, if agreeable to themfelves, be received into the British pay, with leave, at the restoration of the Stadtholder, to return into his fervice.

Each non-commiffioned officer and foldier fhall receive, upon taking the oath of allegiance to his Britannic majefty to ferve him faithfully during the war, where it ay be thought proper to employ

him, the fum of one hundred guilders.

The officers to receive, under the fame conditions, the allowance of two hundred days bat, baggage, and forage money, as paid to the British officers.

The officers and men of the marine forces cannot be taken into the British fervice until his majefty's pleafure fhall be known, but fhall receive pay according to their rank, and every indulgence that can be allowed.

That the governor and all civil officers, after having taken the oaths of allegiance to his majefty, which will be adminiftered by major-general Whyte, are (if they chufe) to remain in their refpective fituations, (excepting those who have fhewn a decided partiality to the French intereft) the governor only refigning the military command. Should fuch liberal terms be refufed, the governor, council, and all concerned, muit be anfwerable for the confequen. ces, as an immediate attack will be made by the land and fea forces, which will render every refiftance、 vain.

Major-general Whyte and capt. Parr give the governor one hour, and no more, from the delivery of this by lieutenant-colonel Hiflop, to accept or not. (Signed) JOHN WHYTE, maj-gen. THOMAS PARR, captain royal navy.
