Her Macstys Pcnipotcntiary, &c, hns The
highest degree of satisfaction in announcing TO her
Majc.tys subjects, and others who feel an interest
in the question that the city OF Annoy with It's very
extensive formidable line of batteries and fleet of
g,u,-boa,s and war iunks (he whole mounting up
ward of five hundred pieces of cannon) was taken
possession of on the Goth instant, after short but
animated defence on the part of the Chinese, by
her NIaiestv's naval and land forces under the
command Of their cxcclcncics Rear Admiral Sir
| William, Parker. C B., and Major General Sir
! Hugh Cough, X. c. B.


This brilliant achievement has been happily ac-
compishct with very ,riiling loss; and, i'll adli-
tion to the works, all of which have been 'lisman-
tied and destroyed, and the guns spiked andbroken,
immense magazines full of munitions Of war have
been either removed or regarded useless.
| Arrangements are now in progress tor leaving q
detachment of troops on the small island of kno-
| langsu, (Which is separated fromlhe town ofAmoy
| by channel Of deep watcr,) and some of II. NJ 8
ships will likewise remain at this port, while the
grcut body of the expedition advances to the north
ward, 50 that British oth.r ships that may touch
here during the ensuing season. will find ample
projections and be secure from any risk or mocsta-
tion.


Her Macstys Plenipotcntiary deems il quite
| supcrluous to say one word as to the manner in
which this importan, service has been performed.
The facts require no culogun. The Chinese
Government vainlv ina sincd tllcv had rendered

the firing of the first gun; and had the opposition

and bearing OF all employed showed that the result
must have been ,hrSanlc. God save the Queen.
