Supplement to the Essequebo & Demerary Royal Gazette.

Saturday, April 11th, 1807.

The following particulars of the capture of Curracou, is taken from the Barbados Mercury of the 31st ult. -

Capture of Curracoa. [heading]
                  Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 24.
On Saturday night last arrived at Port Royal, His Majesty's frigate Anson, of 40 guns, Capt. Lydiard, from Curracoa, with 300 prisoners, and the colours captured at that Island, which was taken in the most extraordinary and gallant manner, by a squadron of frigates, consisting of the Arethusa, 34 guns, Captain Brisbane; Latona, 38, Capt. Wood; Anson, 40, Capt. Lydiard; Fisgard, 38, Capt. Bolton.
For skill in planning, singular boldness in executing, this event will rank amongst the first of heroic actions - it is indeed perfectly in unison with every thing glorious in the past, and an example of every thing great to the future.
As our squadron did not possess the means of laying regular siege to the place, Capt. Brisbane came to the determination of sailing into the port, and storming forts hitherto considered as impregnable, or perishing in the attempt, for retreat was impossible. The time chosen was day dawn on the morning of the first of January, when all the boats were hoisted out, and the squadron stood in with a good breeze, the Arethusa leading. The enemy were panic struck at such unexpected temerity; all was confusion - here soldiers without officers - there officers without soldiers; alarm drums beating in all directions; a British squadron in their very harbour, and within pistol shot of their batteries, before sun-rise. Troops collected at Otra Banda were prevented from crossing the water, our ships interposing; not more than three broadsides were fired from our frigates, when the ships' companies and officers of the [illegible] Anson, with the marines of the [illegible] Captains Brisbane and Lydiard, were [illegible]
Amsterdam stormed, and all the [illegible] works had British colours flying before eight o'clock. Fort Republic on the hill, and [illegible]. The Fisgard had orders to act against Otra Banda, two batteries distinct from the main land she took possession of, to one of which the men absolutely swan, the enemy being previously dislodged. The guns of Fort Amsterdam were fired [illegible]. On our people storming the place, they did not act in a body, but retreated in confusion, firing round corners, and from houses. The militia, amounting to 3000, had not time to collect, nor could they cross the water in boats. The Dutch frigate Kenau Hasstat was boarded by Captain Brisbane, the Latona warped alongside and took possession, when Captain Brisbane proceeded for the shore. The Surinam corvette was boarded from the larboard bow of the Anson, while her starboard guns were firing at the batteries. The Flying Fish, a large national schooner, was boarded by the boats of the Arethusa; the officers and crew of those vessels fought most gallantly; Commodore Cornelius Vertz was killed; the Captain of the Surinam mortally wounded, and the first Lieutenant dangerously, besides several others. The moment the Town, Fort Amsterdam, &c. were completely in Captain Brisbane's possession, a Lieutenant of Marines was sent with a flag of truce, requiring Fort Republic to surrender. The officer discontinued firing, but would not surrender without an order from Lieutenant-General J. P. Changnion [sic], the Governor, who was at this time a prisoner, with all his staff, in Fort Amsterdam. We understand that Captain Brisbane desired the Council to be collected, and gave them five minutes to capitulate for the whole island; but as they intreated for a longer period, it was extended to half an hour; in the mean time the most active preparations were made for storming this almost inaccessible fort. The ship's company of the Fisgard, commanded by Captain Bolton, were in boats ready to proceed by water. The marines of the squadron, with about 300 sailors of the Arethusa and Anson, were prepared to advance by land, the remainder of the sailors on shore, including an officer and sixty men from the Latona, manned such guns as could bear on the object of attack, every thing was ready on a signal being made, when a capitulation was signed, and the troops of Fort Republic alone marched out with the honours of war, piling their arms and becoming prisoners. All private property is respected, and the troops to be sent to Europe and exchanged. Captain Bolton took possession of Fort Republic. Captains Brisbane and Lydiard landed nearly together, the former was the first man who scaled the wall, the latter the second, closely followed by their respective officers and ships companies. Captain Wood remained afloat in the command of the squadron; about 200 of the enemy were killed; our loss is very trifling; had our ships been half an hour later in the attack the slaughter must have been dreadful: nothing could be better timed. The cidevant Governor comes a passenger on his way to Europe.

List of killed and wounded on board his Majesty's Vessels.
Arethusa - 2 killed and 5 wounded.
Latona - 1 killed and 2 wounded.
Anson - none killed, 7 wounded.
Fisgard - none killed, none wounded.
Total - 3 killed, 14 wounded.
We understand that there were upwards of sixty Spanish, French, and Dutch Vessels, exclusive of six or seven Americans, lying at Curracoa when that island fell into our possession: some of them are stated to be of great value.
