The Company to be avenged of this affront set out the Heer Cornelius Speelman with what Land and Sea sorces they thought necessary and with them went the Malecontented Prince Radia Palacca King of Bougis and his Allies who have very much contributed to the Victory mentioned in this following brief Narrative In November 1666. Admiral Cornelius Speelman sailed out of the Bay of Batavia with 13 Ships extraordinarily manned and about the 20 th of December arrived before the City of Macassar putting out the red flag afterwards he Steered into the Bay of Turnate and on the 23d of December burnt 10 Villages with much Paddy and Rice and a new man of War and brought off 14 Prisoners and 14 Heads On the 24 th he arrived before Bonteyn landed 10 Companies burnt 30 Towns 100 Ships and 3000 Last of Rice and Paddy and this hapned in the Macassars Magazine December 31. He sailed towards Bouton a place belonging to Radia Palacca and found it besieged by the Macassars with an Army of 10000 men and about 450 great and small Ships here he landed and burnt 60 of their Vessels and many of the People running away into Radia Palacca The Macassars seeing their power weakened broke up in the night and set the place of their Camp on fire January 3. Three Principal Commanders of the Macassars Army with 5500 able men submitted themselves to the East India Company and being disarm'd were set upon in an Island between Boughton and Pontisiana whereof 400 were made Slaves In the interim 5000 Bougis were run over from the Macassar to Radia Palacca with 86 Prows so that with some stragglers there fell 11000 into the hands of the Company and 4000 Last of Rice With this success the Admiral sailed to the Eastern Provinces and having setled things there returned the 8th of June from Amboyna with 16. Ships and 14 Shallops whereof 4 were from the King of Ternate The Admiral afterwards coming near to Bontoin found it strongly fortified and guarded with 6000 Macassars and after several hot encounters burnt all with little dammage After this their Admiral set sail to Macassar where on the 19 th of July they shot Briskly from the Kings Fort. Afterwards hapned divers hot skirmishes and then the Bonnese Army which came from Turata consisting of 6000 men landed with the Dutch before Glisson besides these there were about 7000 Bougis and 3000 Ternatanes and the King of Macassars Forces were about 20000. With which Army they fell upon Glisson and after many desperate encounters it was taken by Radia Palacca and the Admirals party by casting many hand Granado's and Fire-pots into their Forts Afterwards the Enemy fled and after several Encounters where the Macassars had the worst the City of Sambouca was besieged and on the 24 th of June the Wall thereof blown up which made the King of Macassar retire into the Land and keep his Principal Residence at Goa Where being in want of all things was forced to desire a Peace with the Dutch which they granted upon such terms as they pleased themselves Whereby all Forts towards the Sea but such as the Dutch please to possess shall be demolished The most considerable and best part of the Land made theirs to Plant and themselves freed from all Customs for the future with several sums and fealties to be paid to them for the present Peace
