[Vol. X. 



Lieutenant-Colonel Raymond, who had died of his wounds 

 the previous day, was buried with all military honours. 



M. Hupner and another artillery officer were appointed 

 commissaries to receive the surrendered arms. 



The Kandyans, to the number of 3,000 to 4,000, appeared on 

 the morning of the 16th at Grandpass on the right bank of the 

 river. They sent to offer their services to the English ; but 

 Colonel Stuart replied that he had no need of them, and 

 forbade their crossing the river. 



On the 17th the Ambassador of the King of Kandy came 

 to offer congratulations to Colonel Stuart. The troops 

 received them under arms, and the artillery saluted as they 

 entered and retired ; but notwithstanding these honours, they 

 complained that they were not paid the same respect 

 they received from the Dutch. Colonel Stuart received 

 them at Government House without any special ceremony, 

 and informed them that they must put up with it, being 

 the English custom. They retired but little satisfied, and 

 principally because they had received no presents. 



On February 21 the Dutch troops embarked and set sail 

 on the night of the 21st or 22nd. Some days after, the 

 Malays were sent to Tuticorin, and from there by land to 

 Madras. The sailors were taken to Bombay. 



The National troops embarked on board the Epaminondas, 

 a Dutch vessel : forty-seven officers, infantry, artillery, 

 and surgeons ; four hundred and fourteen non-commis- 

 sioned officers and men — in all 461. 



The Wurtemberg regiment embarked on board the Anna, 

 a private vessel : thirteen officers, among whom was Major 

 Venagel : non-commissioned officers and men. 



These two ships were escorted by the frigate Bombay 

 of Bombay. 



The ship Anna sprung a leak ; the pumps were hardly 

 able to save her. They let her drive before the wind, and she 

 arrived on March 12, the Epaminondas only arriving on the 

 23rd.
