SirE, Pakenham to aifumc tile command ; from that period I fend an extrac'l of the journal of Major Forreil, AHiitant Quarter Mailer General, uo to the time of the joining of the troops (which Mied on the 26th of Oct. laft un- hx my command) and which \vas on the 6th of Tanuarv ; arid from taat period i fhall detail, as well as ! am able, the iubfcquent e- vents. I found the army in pofition in a pcountry with the Miffiflip^i on l^ left, and a thick extenfive wood on us right; arid open to its front, from which the enemy's line was ^ite distinguishable, Itfeems Sir E. Pakenham had baited for the arrival of the Pu4- «&* and % 3d regiment, in order l(,make a general attack upon the ^rny'sline ; and on the 3th the *$ was formed for that object; Ui order to give your Lo'dfhip asfef a view as 1 can, 1 fhall ft ate ^pofition of the enemy. On deleft bank of rhe river it was' l1Inply a ftraight line l4 about a !"0nt.°f iooo yard* with a parapet, !je right reding on the river, and he lett go awo,;d which had been ^deinTraclicablcf r ..ny bod wtrcop$ to paS. J to lifie fe y Uren.-thened by Hank works, and had a canal of about ftur feet deep generally, but riot altogether of an equal width ; it was iuppofed to harrow towards their left ; a- bout eight heavy g\jtg were in po- fnion on thisliue.^ Tie Miffiffippi is here about Soo varis acrofs, & tliey had on the right bank a hea¬ vy battery oi: 1 2 guns, which enfi¬ laded the whole Iron: of the p©- fition on the left bank Preparations were nade on our fide by very cohii, e able labour^ to clear out and widen a canal thai communicated wi h a ftreairi by which the boats ha: pafled up to the place of dise.iilu-kation, to the Mifiilippi, by which means troo|fe could be got over to the right batik, and the co-operationn of armed boats could be feeu red. This rilipofition for the aback was as follows :—Lranlrv, £C'o ilarnen, and 400 lliatines, the 3d Wcil-In iiaa. regiment, arid four pieces or artillery, uncbr the com- 1. and or.

Ge- neral Keane ; fome blarfe troops were dTimed to; fkirmilh in the wood on the right ; ,ihe principal attack was to be made by Major Geoerai Gibbs ; the ifi: briga.de, conlillln? of the Fufileers anci 4;d formed the refer ve ; the attack¬ ing colu'T.s were to be .provided with fafcines, icaiiog ladders and rifts, the whole to be at their fta- t;ons before dav-light- All advan- c«d batfery in our front of fix iS- pounders was thrown up durmg the ni^litw ab« alt 8&a vrirds from the enemy s Iilie, Th to be made at the eariieft hour: Usdonked for difficulties,, incrcaf- cd by the failing of the fiver, oc- cafi 'ited confiderable delay in the entrance of the armed bc^s, and thofe deftined to land Col. Thorn¬ ton's corps, by which 4 or 5 hours were loft, and it was not until raft five in the morning., that the tst divifion, confilling of 500 men, were over. The ensemble oi the general movement was loft, and in a point which was of the laft fm. portance to the attack on the left bank of the river, ah hough Colo¬ nel Thornton, as your Lord (hip will fee in his report,' which I en- clofe ably executed' in every partic¬ ular his Inftruclions, and fully jus¬ tified the confidence the Comman¬ der of the Forces- placed in his a- bilities. The dela> attending that corps occifioned fome on the left bank, and the attack did not take place until the colufnns were dis- e attack was more than 200 yards distance ; as they advanced a continued and mod gaiiin^r fire was opened from e*/efy part of the line, and (torn the battery on the ri^ht bank. , The brave commander of the Forces, who never in his life could refrain from being at the poll of honour, and fhafing the danger to which the troops were expofed, as foon as from his (lation he had made the fignal for the troops to advance galloped on to the front to animate th£m by his prefence, and he was feen with his hat off. encouraging them on the crest of the glacis ; it was there (almost at the fame time) he received two' wounds, one in his knee and and. ther, which was instantly fatal, in his body ; he fell in the arms of Major M'Dougail, his Aid-de- Camp. The effect of this in the fight of the troops, together with Major General Gibbs and Major General Keane beirio* both borne off wouri- 1 O ded at the fame time, with many other commanding officers, and further the preparations to aid in crofting the ditch not being (0 forward as thev ousdit to have been, from, perhaps, the men be¬ ing wounded who were carrying theni; caufed a wavering in the column which in jfuch a iiiuation became irreparable ; and as 1 ad vanced with the referve, at about two hundred and fifty yards from tlie line, i had the mortification to obferve the whole falling back upon me in the great eft couiufion. In thli lituation, finding that no imprefiion had been made, and though many men had reached the ditch, they were tit her drown¬ ed or obliged to furrcuder, and that it was impoflible to reftorc order in the regirdents where they were, I placed the refcrve in poll- ticn, until 1 could obtain fucli in¬ formation as to determine me how td acl to the bed of my judgment* and vvhetJier or not 1 .mould re fumd the attack, and li: io, I felt it could be done only by the re- ferve. The confidence I have in t he corps Cotii[)ofing it would have encouraged me grattjly, though hot uithout lofs, which alight havR made the attempt of ferious wounded) to retire. The army remained in pofition Until night, in order to gain time to deftroy the eighteen pounder battery we had conftrucled the preceding night in advance. I then gave orders for the troops fcfumi-:?g the grouni they occu¬ pied previous to the attack. * Our lofs has been very fevere, but I truft. it will not be confid- ered, not with fbmding the failure^ that this army lias futtered the military character to be tarriiflied. I am fatisfied, had 1 thought it right to renew the attack; that the troops would have advanced with cheerfulnefs. The. feryices of both arttiy and navy5 fince their Ian din ir on this coafti have beea arduous beyond any thing I have ever witiiefled, and difficulties have been got over with an aifi- duity and perfeverance beyond all example, by ail ranks, arid the moft hearty co-operation has ex¬ ited between the two fervices; It is not ncceffary for me to ex¬ patiate to you upon the lols the army has fuftained in Major Gen. the Hon. Sir E: Paker.ham, Com¬ mander in Chief of this" forced nor could I in adequate terms. His fcrvice-i and merits are fof well cnown, that 1 have orily,: in com¬ mon with the whole nririy, td ex- prefs my finccre regret, ohd which may be fuppofed at itm moment to come pecviiatW home to me.
