Downing-street, October 25, 1810. 
A dispatch, of which the following is 
an extract, was last night received by 
the Earl of Liverpool, one of his Majes- 
ty’s Principal Secretaries of State, 
To N. B, Edmondstone, Esq. Chief Secretary to 
Government, Calcutia. ; 
S1r---T have the honor to report that the 
force, consisting of 18co Evropean and 1850 
native troops, which the Right Hon. the 
Governor General of India, in Council, has 
been pleased to confide to my orders and di- 
rections, for the conquest of the island of 
Bourbon, arrived at Rederigues on the 2cth 
of June. 
From the unfavourable state of the wea- 
ther, we were delayed at Roderigues until 
the morning of the jd inst. when we weigh- 
ed anchor, and proceeded to the point of ren- 
dezvous, fifty miles to windward of the 
island of Bonaparte, which point we reach- 
ed at four o’clock on the evening of the 6th. 
The first brigade, composed of his Majes- 
ty’s 86th regiment, the first battalion of the 
6th regiment of the Madras native infantry, 
and a small detail of artillery and pioneers, 
commanded by Lieutenant-colonel Fraser, 
was ordered to Jand at Grand Chaloupe, and 
to proceed by the mountains direct against 
the weet side of the enemy’s capital; whilst 
the second, third, and fourth brigades, were 
to land at Riviere des Pluies, and to force 
the lines of detence exiending from the Bu- 
tor Redoubt on the north or sea-side, to the 
Redoubt No. 11, on the south, and from 
thence to cross the rear of the town to the 
river St. Denis. 
I received, however, a message from the 
Jef, that the enemy had sent ou: a trum- 
peter, witb an officer, to demand a suspen 
. State of Public Affairs in October. 
sion of arms, and on honourable terms tw 
surrender the island. There was not a mo 
ment to be fost in saving an enemy com= 
pletely in our power, and I accordingly is= 
sued immediate orders for the troops to halt. 
Thus, sir, in afew hours, has this rich, 
extensive, and valuable colony, been added 
to his Majesty’s dominions, with a popula- 
tion of upwards of 100,co0 souls, and witha 
loss on our part comparatively trifling whem 
the nature of the service is considered, a re=- 
turn of which accompanies this dispatch, with 
a copy of the capitulation. 
I have deemed it proper, for the present, 
to divide the island into two districts, N orth: 
East, and South West, in order to facilitate 
the distribution of the troops to the different 
out-posts, and I have the satisfaction to say, 
that those arrangemenis have been already 
effected, and that that part of the force in- 
tended to be employed on the ulterior object 
of the expedition, isnow in readiness 10 move 
at the shortest notice.
