Colonel Agnew gave orders for 

 this purpose in liis presence ; and 

 informed him that if Gen. Jansens 

 allowed the opportunity of capitu- 

 lating now offered to escape, by 

 not accepting the terms already 

 prepared, no other could be offered. 

 Brigadier Winkleman returned with 

 all speed to General Jansens, and 

 Colonel Gibbs marched with his 

 detachments at six o'clock on the 

 road to Soligata, where, after ad- 

 vancing about five miles, he was 

 met by Brigadier Winkleman, 

 bearing the capitulation confirmed 

 by the signature of Gen. Jansens, 

 and accompanied by aletter. No. 2. 

 which strongly marked the acute- 

 ness of his feelings at being com- 

 pelled, by the desertion of his 

 allies, and the destruction of his 

 army, to adopt this measure. 



The detachment counter- march- 

 ed immediately, and after sending 

 a company (at the request of Bri- 

 gadier Winkleman) to secure the 

 guns in the post of Soligata, moved 

 back to Oonarang, whence on the 

 evening I returned to Samarang, 

 just before General Jansens had 

 announced his intention of joining 

 me at (the former place. The 

 general, with great part of his 

 officers, also reached Samarang 

 that night. I visited him on the 

 following day, and arranged for 

 the equipment of a transport to 

 convey him to Batavia with his 

 suite, on which the}' embarked this 

 morning. 



Thave dispatched Colonel Gibbs 

 to assume the command of the 

 division of Sourabaya, to which 1 

 have allotted his Majesty's 78th 

 regiment, the 4th volunteer batta- 

 lion, the light infantry battalion, 

 and the royal artillery ; I have sent 

 • small detachment under Major 



Vol. LIV. 



Yule, of the 20th Bengal regiment ; 

 an officer on whose conduct I have 

 much reliance, to accompany the 

 Prince of Samanap and his force 

 to the island of Madura, where I 

 have directed the Major to assume 

 command, subject to the general 

 control of Colonel Gibbs; he has 

 been instructed to occupy the small 

 forts of Joanna and Rambangon his 

 route, and I have directed that of 

 Japara to be occupied from Sama- 

 rang. Idiamayo and Pacalonga 

 have been garrisoned by troops 

 from Cheribon. In mentioning 

 the Prince of Samanap, it would 

 be unjust to him net to report, that, 

 prior to my march from Samarang, 

 to attack the enemy, he sent to 

 ask my orders, being, with two 

 thousand of his people, within a 

 short distance at Damak. He 

 visited me on my return to Sama- 

 rang, and expressed an earnest wish 

 for the protection and friendship of 

 the British nation. 



As Colonel Wood requested per- , 

 mission to relinquish the command 

 of Samarang, and return to Bengal, 

 I appointed Lieutenant - Colonel 

 Watson, of his Majesty's 14th 

 regiment, to relieve him in the 

 command. The 14th regiment, a 

 small detachment of artillery, 

 and part of the 3rd volunteer 

 battalion, have been stationed 

 at Samarang, and will shortly, I 

 trust, be reinforced by the arrival 

 of the detachments of the horse- 

 artillery, cavalry, and 89th regi- 

 ment. 



I have detached Captain Robin- 

 son, your lordship's aid-de-camp, 

 with a small escort, to the courts 

 of Solo and D'Jogocarta, to deliver 

 a letter from me to the Emperor 

 and Sultan, and announce the 

 change that has taken place ; I
