Office of Commissioners for the Affairs of India, February 11th, 1813. COPY of a dispatch from Colonel Gillespie, commander of the Forces in Java, to the Honourable T. S. Raffles, Lieutenant-Governor of that island, dated Djocjocarta, June 25th, 1812.

HONOURABLE SIR,-Without entering upon any of the political points on which you did me the honour to consult with me, previous to the adoption of hostilities against the Sultan of Djocjocarta, I shall proceed to report to you the various operations of our small force, and the measures adopted under my authority for bringing this insolent and refractory Sovereign to a sense of what was due to the supremacy of the British Government upon Java.

On the afternoon of the 18th instant, you did me the honour to acquaint me, that the Sultan of Djocjocarta, had refused his acquiescence to those terms, which in your wisdom you had been pleased to offer; that confident of the strength of his fortified position, he had determined to brave the consequences our power might inflict, and that he had assembled his army from all parts of the kingdom, who were prepared and determined on resistance. The troops I had collected at this period of the service, though few in numbers, were formidable in gallantry; they consisted altogether of about six hundred firelocks, a proportion of artillery, and two troops of His Majesty's 22d dragoons. The remainder of our force, with our principal supply of ordnance, were coming forward under the orders of LieutenantColonel Mac Leod, and were expected to join my head-quarters during the course of that night. Hostilities had in some measure commenced upon the previous evening. On our arrival at Djocjocarta, Lieutenant-Colonel Watson reported, that a considerable body of the Sultan's troops had left the Krattan, through the east gate, and had proceeded upon some offensive or predatory excursion, which I thought it my duty immediately to prevent. I accordingly desired a detachment of fifty dragoons to escort me on a reconnoitering party, and I proceeded with my Staff along the east wall of the Krattan, and pursued them on the road to the eastward, which

the people of the country reported they had taken; after a very circuitous route, we arrived again upon the environs of the town, where we found large bodies of the enemy collected, who were well armed, and evidently prepared for resistance. At this period, you had not communicated to me any final determination with respect to the Sultan of Djocjocarta, and I was therefore withheld by sentiments of honour from dispersing those people by force of arms, which I had afterwards reason to regret. Mr. Crawfurd, the resident, who accompanied me on the excursion, endeavoured, by every possible means in his power, to induce them to return. His solicitations and threats were equally unavailing, and we were at length so insulted by stones from the houses, and one of our dragoons was so severely wounded by a spear in the side, that we were compelled to act upon the defensive, and in a short time they were dispersed. In this affair I regret to say, that one serjeant and four dragoons were wounded, the serjeant and one of the privates dangerously; and in another part of the town, a serjeant's patrole of twenty-five dragoons, was fiercely attacked by a considerable number of the Sultan's troops, whom they cut their way through, with the loss of one man killed and one wounded.

I shall now return to the afternoon of the 18th, where every thing was prepared for offensive operations, as well as our scanty supply of ammunition would admit. I am always an advocate for promptness and decision, and I am aware, that any measure of a contrary nature, would not only weaken the confidence of our troops, but increase the insolence of the enemy. I therefore directed Major Butler to open a fire from our fort, which was immediately returned by the Sultan, but with inconsiderable effect. Captain Teesdale, of the royal navy, was wounded, and a magazine in the battery having accidentally blown up, I lost the services of two active officers, Captain Young and Lieutenant Hunter, who were severely burnt by the explosion. Light parties were detached to scour the villages on the right and left, and a body of the Sultan's troops kept Major Dalton, and part of his battalion, on the alert during the night; they were attacked four successive times with great spirit, but they repulsed the enemy with steadiness and good conduct.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I became exceedingly anxious for the arrival of Lieutenant-Colonel Mac Leod and his party. I had received no report' whatever of his progress, and I was apprehensive that he had encountered some difficulty upon the road, which might retard the service. I therefore detached Lieutenant Hale with twenty-five dragoons, to obtain some information respecting him, and I afterwards supported him with a further reinforcement of forty men, under the command of Lieutenant Keir, of the same regiment. The first detachment, under Lieutenant Hale, was repeatedly attacked by large bodies of the Sultan's infantry, in situations where cavalry were unable to act. The promptitude and celerity of this officer's advance, excited my warmest approbation; he was severely wounded himself, and lost five of his dragoons in the conflict; but notwithstanding bis perilous and hampered situation, he executed his important trust by joining Lieutenant-Colonel Mac Leod. On the following forenoon, the whole of this party arrived, consisting of a detachment of the royal artillery, the grenadiers of His Majesty's fifty-ninth regiment, and the flank companies and rifle company of His Majesty's 78th. This reinforcement determined me upon my plan of operations.

The palace, or Krattan of the Sultan, is surrounded by regular works about three miles in circumference; at each corner there is a formidable bastion, enfilading the curtain, and the principal entrance in front is strongly defended by cannon. The whole of the fortification is surrounded by a wet ditch, and the gate-ways are all provided with draw-bridges, to prevent the passage across. With all these obstacles to our success, I relied upon the gallantry of my troops, and determined upon the assault on the morning of the 20th instant. In all the preparation necessary, I experienced much assistance from Lieutenant-Colonel Mackenzie, of the Engineers, and Major Thorne, Deputy-Quarter-Master-General, who procured every information that could possibly be obtained, and with whom in concert I arranged the plan of attack.

The principal part of the force was divided into two columns; the leading one commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Watson, of His Majesty's 14th foot, and the other by Lieutenant-Colonel Mac Leod, of His Majesty's 59th regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Dewar, of the 3d Bengal Native Infantry, commanded a smaller party, and made a detour towards the rear of the Krattan. Major Grant conducted a central attack in front. At half an hour before day, the columns under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Watson, and Lieutenant-Colonel Mac Leod, moved forward to the east curtain, under cover of the fire from our fort. They were, however, discovered by the enemy, before the scaling ladders were planted. The alarm was

instantly given along the works, which only increased the activity and emulation of our troops. Lieutenant-Colonel Watson advanced in the most gallant style, and soon obtained possession of the rampart. Part of Major Dalton's battalion crossed the ditch at the N. E. bastion, under Captain Leys, and running along the berm, admitted Lieutenant-Colonel Mac Leod with the second column, who blew open the Prince's gate and entered. The action then became general. Major Dalton, with part of the light infantry battalion, led in a spirited style to the south gate, where they admitted Lieutenant-Colonel Dewar, and saved the life of the Prince Regent. The gallant 14th proceeded to scour the ramparts, and the capture of the Sultan rendered the victory complete. I have the honor to report to you, that during this arduous conflict, the Toomogong Semood Deningrat was killed. Lieutenant-Colonel Dewar had the good fortune to encounter his party, and as he was known to be the most powerful Chieftain in the interest of the Sultan, and his instigator in every hostile proceeding against the British Government, I consider this event as of the greatest political importance.

About the conclusion of the assault, I was myself severely wounded in the arm. Thus, with less than one thousand firelocks actually engaged, we have defeated upwards of seventeen thousand men, and afforded a lasting proof of our superiority and power. I shall refrain from entering into further particulars, as you were present upon the spot, and our cordial communications with each other have rendered them unnecessary.

I have the honour to inclose you the copy of a General Order, issued upon the occasion, together with returns of killed and wounded, and ordnance captured.

I have the honour to solicit your particular attention to the valuable services of Mr. Crawfurd, resident. It is impossible I can convey to you, how deeply I am impressed with a sense of his talents and exertions. From the period of my arrival, until the conquest of the Krattan, he was uniformly active and assiduous, and his personal exposure in the assault of the works, merit equally my thanks and commendation.

Mr. Robinson, of the civil service, and Mr. Hardie, were also volunteers upon the occasion. I cannot speak too highly of their eagerness and zeal. Mr. Deans, assistant to the resident, was essentially useful in conducting Lieutenant-Colonel Dewar's party to the south gate.-I have the honour to be, &c.

(Signed)

R. R. GILLESPIE, Colonel.

GENERAL ORDERS, BY THE COMMANDER OF THE FORCES. Head-Quarters, Djocjocarta, June 21, 1812.-THE Commander of the Forces congratulates the troops he had the honour personally to command, upon the late glorious result of their arduous and honourable enterprize. It confirms him in the opinion he had so justly entertained of their discipline, firmness, and gallantry, and it affords a memorable proof to the enemies of the English Government, that British soldiers, when united by these valuable qualities, must not only conquer, but be irresistible. It was the conviction of their super-eminence that determined him in a measure where nothing but bravery could succeed, and it was the assurance of their intrepidity, that urged him to an assault where multitudes of men were prepared for resistance. The event has proved, that his confidence was by no means misplaced. The enemy has been routed from a regularly fortified position, and seventeen thousand armed men have been conquered and dispersed. The person of the Sultan has been safely secured, and the circumstances attending his seizure, reflect so much credit upon the troops in general, that the Commander of the Forces cannot sufficiently express his admiration and applause. In the heat of the storm his person was respected, his family was placed in security and protection, and no part of the property was either pillaged or molested.

This remarkable instance of steadiness and discipline shall be brought to the notice of higher authority, and it will be the duty of Colonel Gillespie, to obtain for this force the approbation they have so justly earned.

To Lieutenant-Colonel Watson, who commanded the leading column, the Commander of the Forces cannot convey the sense he entertains of his distinguished bravery, and of the quickness and celerity with which he conceived and executed the attack.

The animated style in which Captain Johnson and Lieutenant Hunter crossed the ditch, and, at the head of the 14th grenadiers, escaladed the rampart, under the fire of the east bastion, could only be equalled by the ardour and zeal of their gallant followers.

The prompt and decisive movement of Lieutenant-Colonel Mac Leod, to force his
