In obedience to your orders of Sept : , I left this anchorage with the party placed at my disposal, in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's Steam ressel Canton, and proceeded to Macao, arriving at that place at midnight, and left at 1 A. M. 9th. At 11 A. M. we boarded a piratical junk mounting 11 guns : the junk ran close in shore, and most of her crew escaped by jumping overboard. He killed 4 or 5 and took 3 prisoners, one of whom was apparently an idiot, and was landed afterwards at Now chow. We set fire to and destroyed this vessel;
