No attempt of this kind however was made, and General White lock. never (poke to General Gower on the Cohjeilt, until a sort time before he fent Captain Whittinghasp to the Plaza del Toros. Upon this and other °cosines' General Gower offered to go himfelf, but General Whitelocke always declined it. General Gower then repeated what he Rated in his former evidence, namely, that General Whitelocke never eonfulted him upon any point at all, during the period to which his prefect evidence refers. 011•111=1 NINETEENTH DAY. General Gowsa again called in. Q Did the circumilances which eauTed fo little communication between you and GeneralWhitelocke during the sth of July, arife from any thing that General Whitelocke had ever Paid or done ? [To this queilion General Whitel, cke übjetled, upon the ground that it did pot relate to any mili- tary operations, but to matters of a private nature between him and General bower.) The Court was then cleared for a quarter of an hoar, and upon our re admilGon the quefiinn wits repeated. A. It arofe from what General White locke had laid. State what this was ? A. Haying confillted me on a fpecific poise. on which my opinion differed from his, when he demanded ir, ho Sated that I was throwing cold wa!er on every thing hp did, bur thlt lic would put me to the telt by a quetlion which was, whether all his ads, as an officer in that cows try, were not good ? I replied, that the inferi"rity of my fituation prevented me from prefuming to give an opinion of a Lieutenant General, holding a commilfion as commander of the forces—lie then Paid, he c nfi tereci me as his declared enemy, and that he would fuperfede me from the fituation I held, as a Ralf officer in that army. After a repri mand fo fevere, I did not feel myfelf at liberty to propofe any thing, or to ad otherwife than in dire& obedience to fuch commands as I might receive...— This converfation t , ok place on the 4th, at the pe riod General Whitelocke (poke to me relative to fummoning the town. I really cannot (peak to the hour. There was another part of this converfation completely of a private nature, which I do not feel myfelf at liberty to (late—it was the opinion given of me to General Whitelocke, by a Minitter of State in this country. Q2eliions by General Wm imoca l a. Q z _ Do you not recollert your Brigade Major. Lieut. Croisley, being fent to endeavour to 10 the right flank, but was unable to make his way pre vious to captainWhittingliam being lent to the left ? A. I do not recullea. Wei e not the Carabineers and 9.h L l ight Pra goons ordered to proceed in the morning to join the centre of the attack, and where were they when they received that order? 4. Ido not know that fuch an order was given. O As there teems to he Tome confofirm in the flatements refpeding the movements and nations of the referee rn the .sth, you are defired to Hate what you know on this fobjed. A. 'Die Carabineers to the bell of my recolleetion were ordered to take up the ground occupied by the picquets of the light brigade when the latter moved tif. Fot;r difmnunted troops of the 9th Light Dragoons were ordered to align themfelves on the right cf the Carabineers.,— The other four troops of the 9th were placed in re ferve on the high ground near the Coral. The com pany of the lath regiment remained to cover the holpital and head quarters. The detachment of the rith Dragoons attached to the Commiffariat, re mained there, alfu, as it was the depot of provi (ions. The (mall detachments of corps left to guard the packs, remained on the fpots where their cow mantling officers had depofited them, near their ref pedive regimental pofitions. The artillery remained near the Coral. Ido nut know where the mounted Dragoons were ; they were, however, very few in number—l do not know of any change except that ranted by the order to charge I before defcribed; and the retreat which the Carabineers were obliged to make in confequence of the fuperiority of the ene my's fire, but which eventually left them a little in advance of the pofition from which they had origi nally moved, in obedience to the order to charge. QWas not a large proportion of the 9th Light Dragoons engaged along with the carabineers, in the rconflid to which you have alluded 4. Yes; fuck part as was advanced. Had nut all firing ceafid in the town before evening came on ; and were not Come of the rifle corps Peen no the top of a church towards the dole of the day l A. All firing had-ceafed at that time, ,and I heard a report made to General Whitelocke, that the riflemen were Peen in that partition.

It was, and White!. houfe was about four of five hundred yards in the rear of the pair AI of the light brigade. The lquares I have alluded to in the rub urbs were cultivated as gardens and orchards. Et._ It having been flated to you and General Wintelocke, that the enemy n”ant to defend the town by barricadoed hooks, and by occupying the windows and roofs, dq you know what induced Ge neral Whitelocke to order the troops to march to t l, c attack with unloaded arms ? A. I do uot. LL Do you know what number of tools were al. lotted to the troops for breaking open thc houtes or harricadocs in the Ilreets ? A. I do not ; j think they were dittrihnted by the Deputy Q2arter Matter General, Colonel 4urke. (Cult ate time Captain Whittinghant brought the metrage from Sir Samuel Auchmuty, was it under cnntideration between you and General Whitelocke to go f 'mud. and udge upon the spot as to any further operations wi t h the corps under Sic psmuel Auchmuty's command f A.

Several men Ole earabineerst and of the sith e and a few ache at- thirty. _ _ _ Ceflions by Lord CATHCART. tZ Was there any, and what period, during the sth, when the Ration if General Whitelocke might have been changed with advantage; you having laid that White's hr , ufe was a good flattop in the turn in fiance ? A. 1 think it might, after the middle of the day for by going to the Pla;a (lei Toros, although the dittance was increafed from the right coltrinn,, and from Colonel Mahoi, it afforded an additional opportunity of communicating by water. Having given your opinion that a bombard• meat would have bein of no confiderable effect, (late your reafons ? A. They were fuggetted in a great degree by the expetiment made upon the houfts at Monte Video with a .4 pounder. Q. Was you acquainted, on the morning of the 6th, that the Admiral had embarked the heavy ordnance, and had polled the gun boats fo to cover the landing of it ? A. On my arrival at the Plaza 41 Turns, I fast' the gun boats dole in (hare, I did not know f any other ordnance ready to land, except a (*lngle =4 -pounder I law on the beach. It was landed under cover of the high ground of the Plaza, and did not want pay cover to its landing. Ck_ At what period of the lith of July, was it corn manteated to you and General Whitelocke, that Ge neral Crawford and Colonel Duff' had furrenderedro the enemy ? A. I think it w as a ff er t e d i n General Liniera's letter did not feel that the fact was al certained till I heard it from Sir Samuel Auchmrity, and that he bad der ived his information from Cap lain Carroll, of the 88th regiment, who had come with a flag of truce to that poll. Q._ Why was it not attempted to fet fire to the honfis, when ;hey were found to be occupied by armed men on the morning of the attack, or war this ever fuggefled ? A. I believe it is impodible to let fire to houfes, confirrieted as they. were, rZ Was General Whitelocke in/ armed of the iitu• ation of Colonel Mahon's corps at the time ht agreed to open negoeiations v ith the Spanifh Commander ? A. I am not Pure. I think he was. What was the dillance of the Plaza del Toros frostithe place where the 24:pounder was landed ; and had not you a coinmunscation from the Plaza del Toros to the those ? A. The dillance was ab.'tit three hundred yards ; the communication there was per fatly epee, Q.__ Where was the main body of th e enem y ; an d at wat dillance from the Plaza del Toros on the evening of the 6th of July ? A. I had not an op. portunity of obferving, being at that time on the lost with a flag of truce. Q . _ /Jo you know if there was any Spanifh army in the country which might have come to the allif lanes of Buenos Ayres in a few days ? A. I under. flood that the whole population of the vicinity wa► affembling to afßli the town. (t_ Might not the roads leading to Buenos Ayres have — been fs occupied by Britins troops as to prevent any fupply of proeifions being brought to the enemy I A. it was impolale, with the number of Bridal troops we had, to prevent the introduilion of any fupplies they might with. There was a very great number of main roads leadiog from the coun try into the town. Q, Was not the p&ition of the army on the 6th filch as to have enabled General Whitelocke. with the co-operation of the Admiral, to have refined every attempt pf the Spaniih forces ? A. I d o not know what ordnance Admiral Murray had &Ord to be landed ; I do not think ;he enemy could have army made aay impel Eon pf confetmence pp the Arial% on the 4th.

In advarcing along this iircet, we 1 fund a deep water courfe running through the cen -1 ire, which fnrtunately Dickered us from the fire of 1 the 'Pouts, which was fill very heavy. This firm; led us 11 the river, where I occupied a large honfe it colleged the remains of my column, as well as the left column of the regiment, which hall alfo been led to the front of the Plaza del To ros . and bad fuffere4 equally, if not more feverely than the right, had be. hayed with equal gallantry, and had joined us by pnre firing the fame courfe: During this ferviCP, the re. gimera j filled numbers of the enemy, and took about one hundred piifonets, and three field pieces. I now . law the colours of the fifth regiment planted oft tbg tower of the Sin Catalina, which, making me ((core nn my right, I fent detached parties to my rear, tly clear thp hnufes on the heights, which the enemy were #ring from, and which looked down upon my , poll. During this fervice, I heard a firing on ni r left, which convinced methat the 28th was approach ing, and loon afterwards the heights in my rear were evacuated by the enemy. A communication with the 38th was new priaicable, and I found that gal. lant 'and hihly difciplined cot sunder Maj,•r Nitgetit well advan ced in the attack of the Toros. When I joined them, he was in poll - aloft of moll of the ene. my's artillery, and all their (Iwo' and buildings, ex. cept the Toros itfelf, which Rill kept up a very neavy fire ; but Major Nugent had brought up a twelve pounder, fhcltered by the end of a houfc, to bear dote upon it, and detachments from the 87th inveilcd it on the other fide. Finding that the place mutt imme. diately ('amender, and defirous that Major Nugent thould have the honour of finifhing what he had fo i jndicioufly begun, and anxious to er.amine the pot) occupied by the fifth regiment, I left the Toros, and about nine o'clock it furrendered ; on which I re ruined, and put the 87th into it. After making a few !rally arrangements, 1 battened through the Ilreetb to 'the convent of San Catalina, and joined the tight wing of the sth regiment ; the left wing of that - corps was advanced towards the 36th regiment.— Soon after my arrival, an of f icer came to me from General Lumley, informing me that the enemy were in force near him—that the left wing of the 88th,and hr believed the right wing alfo, were ifr -- that he was defiruus of receiving any , give.
