THE Secretary of State for War has this day received a Despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to him by Major-General C. T. Van Straubenzee, C.B., Commanding Her Majesty's Land Forces in China: SIR, Head Quarters, Canton, August 21, 1858. BY last mail I had the honour to report that a Naval and Military Expedition* was to proceed the next day to exact retribution for firing upon a Flag of Truce sent to Namtow, at the request of the Governor of Hong Kong. I have now the honour to report the result of that expedition, which was assembled off Tyshan Island on the afternoon of the 10th instant, when, with Commodore the Honourable Keith Stewart, I went as close in shore as was practicable, from the state of the tide, to reconnoitre, and decided that the landing on the following day, which could not take place before 10 A.M., in consequence of the tide, should be to the S. W. of the walled city or fort, under cover of the gun-boats, &c. On the morning of the 11th, soon after nine o'clock, I found the gun-boats getting under weigh, and hastened, with my staff, to join the Commodore, and found that in consequence of the rocky nature of the western side of the bay, and greater shoalness of the water, the Commodore had directed the landing to be in the village or suburb southeast of the city. This obliged our moving through the suburbs, and I at once decided to move, as far as practicable, in two parallel lines.. one along a canal or wet ditch, which intersected the suburb, the other close to the sea, the boats * Royal Artillery, 3 officers, 64 non-commissioned offi cers and men; Royal Engineers, 3 officers, 22 non-commissioned officers and men; Royal Marines L.I., 5 officers, 140 non-commissioned officers and men; 59th Regiment, 5 officers, 104 non-commissioned officers and men; 12th Madras N.I., 2 officers, 100 non-commissioned officers and men; Naval Brigade, employed on shore and afloat, 40 officers, 489 non-commissioned officers and men. 10 K 1858. |
