Richard Maitiand of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, Bsmbay, May 8,1759. ¢¢ INCE my laft, ncthing particular has hap- b pened to the detachment until February,when I was ordered by the Governor and Council to take the command of an expedition agflint the ci'y and caftle of Surat, my command confifting of 8506 artil- lery and nfantry, and 1500 leapoys. sl *rked my troops on board the company’s armed vefl:ls, and in eight days landed them all fafe at a place called Dentilowry, diftance from Surat about nine miles,where we encamped for the refrefh- ment of the troops three or four days. In our firft days march from the above encampment, Capt. John Northall died of an apoplectick fir, and was fucceeded in company by Capt. Jofeph Winter. The firft at- tack that I ‘'made was againft the French Garden, where %2 enemies (Scydees) had lodged a number of men ; them [ drove out ; after a very fmart firing on both fides for about 4 hours ; our number loft confifting of about twenty killed and as many wound- ed. After we had got pofleffion of theFrench Garden, I thought it neceflary to order the engineer to piich upon a proper place to eret a battery, which he did, and completed it in two days. ¢ On this battery were mounted two 24 p*unders, and a thirteen inch mortar, which I ordered to fire againft the wall, &c. as brifk as poffible ; this T con- tinued to do for three days. Having thought of 2 more expedient method of getting into the outer town than by the breach of the wall, I called a council of war, compofed of military and marine ; formed a plan of gencral attack, which I laid before them, and they as readily agreed to, and this to be put into execution at half psft four the pext morniog. The plan was, that the company’s grabb and bomb- ketches fhould warp up the river in the night, and anchor in a line of battle oppofite the Scydees Bunder, one of the ftrongeft fortified places they got ; this they did, and a general attack begun from the veflels and battery at the appointed time. My intentions in this, were to drive the enemy from their batteries, and to facilitate the landing of the infantry at the Bunder, whom I had embarkzd on board of boats tor their tranfportation. We made a continual fire until half paft eight, when a fign.l was made for the boats to put off, and go under the cover ot the veflels. This proved very fuccesful, for the men were landed with the 16fs of one man only ; get.ing poficflion of the Scydees Bunder, and putting the men to flight, with the lofs of Capr. Robert Inglifh mortally wound- ed, and Lieut. Pepperal wounded in the thoulder ; our lofs of men not very confiderable. ¢« Having gained this point, and getting pofieflion of the outer town with it’s fortifications,the nex: thing to be done was to attack the inner town and caftle. « [ ordered the thirteen and 2 ten inch mortars to be planted on the Scydees Bunder, and to begin firing firft into the caftle and rown as foon as pofiible 3 diftance from the caftle about 700 yards,- inner town g§co. " « About fix in the evening the mortars began to play very brifkly, and continued todo fo until half paft two the next morning. This continual firing of our mostars put the caftle and town into fuch acon- flernation, that they never returned one gun. The enemy finding it impoffible to fupport themfcl»‘gs, fent to acquaint me they would open the gates for my troops to march into the town ; which I did, with drums beaiing and colours flying. Alter [ was in the town the Governor [cat to acqusint me that he would give me up the calile, on provifo that I would allow him and his people to march out of the caftle with their effeéts, which I agreed to, taking ° pofleflion without any firther moleftation. “ Royal Artllery.

Extraf of a Letter from Tralee, Dec. 5. 1759. ¢¢ On Sunday night laft, a Norway fhip bound for Galway, laden moitly with boards, was wrecked ata place called Ballylongare, within a {mall mile of Bal- lyhigh; fhe had eight men on board at her coming off from Norway, and her paflage was (o unfortunate- ly tedious, (having loft her compafs in a violent ftorm) trat for want of fubfiftence, five of the eight men were eaten by the Captain and Mate, the eight men we may fuppole died on the paflage ; the five fkele- tons were nailed to the malt; the Captain (notwith- ftanding the great care that was taken of him) died in about ten hours after he was brought on thore. Tt was a very melancholy profpeét to fee him, and to find five of the peoples fingers in his pocket as a ftore. T'he Mate is ftill living. There has been a great quantity of boards faved, but the veflel quire wrecked.’ N E W-Y OR K, March 10.
