A. None whatever. From the circomflanre of thefe places not being attually in the poirdlion of the army at the time of itflring the orders, they could not he mentioned in 'hefe orders as the pofitive points on which the army WAS to retreat. Was there any other difference ? A. My firn • an attack in columns from a central would have been a confequent deploy. anus to the attack. But as the attack wa s i n line, confequently there was no deploy The bafis of my plan was very fimilar to that by General Whitelocke, and I cannot call :nce very great. What was the diffance between the village of and the Ration where you took up your on the tit of July ? A. Between three and Lie.nenan!-Colonel Btutick The witnefs was tequelled to detail the orra bus of the army, from its letting out from Monte Video, to the attack on the sth of July upon Bomb. Ares ? A. I was Chief Officer in the (tiarter Matter General's Department in the expedition under taken againft Buenos Ayres, tinder the command of General Whitelocke. I was introduced to General Whitelocke by Sir Samuel Anchmuty, at Monte Video. I tad confequently tome converfation with . General Whitelocke, who Paid, that he wilhed to dire& my attention in the firfl inflance to the pro viding of quarters for the men, and Itabling for the bodes. He then introduced me to Major Ge neral Gower, as fecond in command, and told me to difcufs thefe points with him. Captain Thom fon, of the Fly !loop, arrived flintily afterwards in the Plata from the Cape of Gond Hope, with dir patches from Brigadier General Crawfurd, who in formed General Whitelocke that he might be every hour expected to join him in the Plata. The day after Captain Thornton's arrival, General Whitelocke fent for me, and told me, he wilhed me to go up the River to examine Buenos Ayres, and look out for a proper place fir landing the troops. I W4l. ?Ito direCted to go to Colonia, in order to afcertain if it was a convenient place of rendezvous for the (hips, and to confer with Colonel Pack, w''o commanded there, as to the expediency of fending a (mall body of troops more to the weilward of Coltrina, to cut off a body of the enemy on the left hank of the river. On the fame day I received thefe inftruSi-ns from General Whitelocke, he conferred with Admiral Stirling, and received all the information he could give refpeOing the landing up the river. He con• fulted at the fame time with an American, and with Colonel Dean, of the 3fltit regiment, who had been at Buenos Apes with General Beresford. They mentioned the Enfenada as being the only place where troops could be landed, under c ever -1 the (hips of war. The General particularly di efled his enquiries to the fiemation of Enfenada, and to Ole Rate of the roads between that place and Buenn„ Ayres. It was 'fated that the Enfenada war. the place where goods were often landeu, and from thence conveyed up to Buenos Ares in witerred carriages. —That evening I went on board the Fly floop, and failed up the liver with Captain Thornton. We xi mined on .hat and the fuceeeding day a conliderahle extent of coalt for about fifty miles to the E inward of Enfenada, Barragun, as far as 6 or 7 miles to the Weftward of Buenos Apes. The refute was, that we thought the Enfenada to be the belt place for lan. .ling, under cover of (mall Chips of war. We were oarticularly anxious to afcertain if the landing cou' be-fleeted to the Weflward of the tow i, but Captain ournfon was decidedly of opinion that the leas iga tion was too difficult for a fleet of tranfports. After having gone over to Colunia, and Ricci tallied that a large fleet c uld rendezvous in that harbour, and conferred with Colonel Pack on the oth-r matters, I returned tu Monte Video on the 27th or 28th r f May. I found, upon my return, that Major General G iwer had arranged feveral meatutes with Admiral Stirling with regard to the embarkation of the troops from Monte Video ; that the tranfports were to be vie-- walled fir three weeks ; that fupplies for ten thou land men were to be provided by the Commiffary General; and that eighteen light guns were to be embarked, and alto time heavy pieces, I think four 24 pounders and two mortars, but of this I am not certain ; the whole of the artillery arrangements be ingcomtnitted to the care of the Chief Officer in that department. General W. had given, up the idea of mounting the whole of the cavalry. ~es.

Having Rated that Buenos Ayres would have Carried on the zd, had General Whitelocke i your line of march ; Hate the grounds of y , ur ? A. It is grounded on the information then procured from the prifoncrs, that the - the enemy's attention and means of defence at in late a period as T 2 o'clock on that day, 'ireeted towards the line of the Chuello and the ~ and confequently the entrance of a body of '-itn the town frum the Weflern fide, was b) tally unexpeeted and unprovisfed fur.

The troops landed en the morning of the 28th, at half pail nine, confided of General Crawford's brigade, the 38th and 87th, eight companies of light infantry, and nine companies of the rifle corps. This tot co (excepting the 3d company of the tifie corps ordered to be left behind) marched to the heights, abort four miles from the landing place, under command of Ma. jer Gen. Gower. He had ago fume mounted cavalry, and two field guns; bat I cannot exactly ft ste Omit number, becaufe I received partictilar orders from General Whitlocke not to move with the advanced guard. Before fun-fet all the troops were landed ; feveral field guns, artillery, and their horfes, and the whole of the force, excepting Maj a General Gower'. corps,was Rationed in the vill flee and fort of Barragon. l This evening the General Rated to me his intention to march the next morning at nine o'clock from the heights with the main budrof the army. He &fired me to remain, to haften as much as pefilhie the dif• l embarkation of the hortes and fibres Rill remaining on board ; and he wifhed to have a confiderable fuer ply of fpirits and bread fent up to the heights, and authorized me, if the Commifftry General was not provided with the means of conveyance, to have pack fiddles put upon tome cavalry hortee, to tam in conveying the ;et ovifions. In confeqneece of this, forty hones were touted over to the Comn:iffary General. By funfet on the 29ih, every thing wa , landed that could be conveyed ; and early in the morning of the 3oth, the artillery, with the Cron miliary pores, proceeded to the heights. On the march, the Officer commanding that divilion of the artillery, (hewed me an order of Captain Frafer, who commanded the whole, In detiroy the Spanifh guns, if any difficult y t•ccutt el in bringing them through the marlhee. As I toppled this order was by the Gene• ral's content, 1 gave mine alfo. I left the artillery on its march, and proceeded to j 'in the General on the heights. I found that General Gower had marched for Reduetion, having tin ler his orders four com o anies of the 95th, the light - battalion under General Cranford, and the ;6th and 88th under Ce ntral Lumley, font &pounders, two 3-pounders, and ( - rime monnted cavalry. I found the General about to move with the army to the ground underllo ‘d to have been occupied the evening before by General Gowet's corps. He ordered the difmromted part of the 57th light dragoons and the 4oth regiment to rc•nain on the heights under Colonel Mahon, to efcoft the artillery when it lhould come up. He then moved forward with the main body about five miles, and the army was Rationed at three farm !routes, about two miles dillance form each other; 1 the 36th was in the r ar, the 5:1) and 87th in the centre, and Colonel Nlabon's brigade in front. The main body of the army confuted of the 6 h di ageon guards difmnunted, seh light dragoons difineutited, and the 45t0 regiment. We received information that the artillery had all reached the heights, hut that the Icemen and horfes were too melt fat igrred to bring it forward on that day : as elvers arrived from Major General Gower Rating, that he had halted about feven miles in our front ; he laid he had marched too late in the day to be able to reach Redudion tie fame even ing ; that he' was actions to take his corps Irefh to. wards that place, becaufe he had feen fame Spanifh officers reconnoitre his corps, and he thought the vil loge was occupied by the eneny. He Hared that if • he did not heat farther from General Whi:eleeke he fhould proceed in the morning tor ReLlmaion. In an. Ewer to this the General ordered him to halt whet e he was until he Ihnuld arrive wi,l: the main body of the army, which he hoped would he tarty next day. An order was fent this evening to Colonel Mahon to pro ceed as far as he could next day on t/•e road towards Redudion. On the ill of July the main body moved forward before fun-ri(e. General Whitelocke moved forward, accompanied by me, and we jerned the troops under General Gower at eleven o'clock. FIFTH DAY.

I was ordered to uke a letter at day break, that its otting. I pro ceeded to General G met, and delivered the letters He complained to me that the 88. h Regiment, under 116 command, WAS erre nely unaeady, and very much frigued, and he Lemed altogether ditritisfied with th& orders he had received. I limed to hint that as the didance h:tween the two corps was but *thou, it might perhaps be advantageous to commu-• nicate himfelf with General Whitel'cke on the litbjeft.

He t! en fent lot Gen .Crawfore, and an American, who laved as a guide, and conful•ed with them 'Ton the prop tfed march. He particularly quefiinned the guide as to the Chico paf,.; it was defcribed as a very bed pads, and ablut fmr or fix miles dirtant from General Gower's polition. As far as I can reme:n ber, the refolt sf this was. that General Gower refulved not to march his corps to the Chico pals, but to move along the heights, and endetv , or to rind a more praBicable General G again exprelfed a good deal of uneafilefs at tie match he was ()Meted to take, and that I would repreftht the m suer to the General. I laid, I thought it likely he would move the whole army to his fuppl,rt, bat that on this fithjed I could (peak will, no certainty, as the General hid not communicated to me whe ther he intended to march that day or not. Gene ral Gower then wrote an tinfwer to Grieral White. locke's (riders, which I crmveyed, and he detired me at the fame time to write down the terms he was to offer to the Spanith Comman 'tr. PreviJus to my leaving lteduaion that morning, General• White. locke communicated to me what the terms were, which I wrote down accordingly at General Gower's requeft.

The General _ _ &ft propofed fending a tingle regiment ; but a ihort . . time afterwards he rircletedthe %VII le army to march about ten o'clock.—He then defired me to write a letter to the Admiral to Rate, that the whole army WAS in motion, and proceeding to the Weftward if ,he town, and to detire that' means thould be taken for landing provifi ni there, and that the (hips which conveyed she heavy artillery, lhogld be lent up there . . _ . likewiie. He then defired me to confult one of the guides, (the fame min who had written the memoir upon the roads) as to the thortell rotfte to a proraica blc pais over the Chuello. He Hated, that about two Leagues dillant, in a S.W. direction, we timid arrive 37 the place where the Chuel'o was paffable, and he brought us a peafan:, who per feftly lo:ew the coun try, and would conduit us there. • General White- Locke had fame converfation with this man, and he delired me to condo& the columns tinder his direc tions. The army marched about half pa.t ten o'clock, ard proceeded about three miles, in a South Weil direction : about twelve o'clock I Caw the corps under General Gower about three miles diliance, proceeding nearly at right angles with our line of march ;—I Dated this to tne guide, who told me, that as to - n as we had croffed the road, called Atojo di Maitail, we timid ni , ve in the lame direction alto ; we accordingly erotica the Arrjo di Mailail, and proceeded pretty nearly in the d.recti It which the guide hated--he then (hewed me the higheil tree upon the hill, under which, he laid, at a (bort dillance, we Oat:mid find the ford to which he intended to conduit us. About halt pail two o'clock, as we were moving by three larm !mules the General propofed to halt for the day. 1 ;toted to him the information the guide had given as to the diftance of the pals, and 1 alto Hated, that from my communication that morning with Gen. Gower, I was convinced that wilds he was ordered to halt, he would crofs the river, and proceed to the heights to the Weltward of the town. "i h: General had not de cided whether he would actually halt or not, when Sir Samuel. Auchmuty came up, to whom he re ferred the qucilion. Sir Samuel Auchmuty voted for halting, as there pas a large quantity of Iheep clofe to thefe houfes, and plenty of fit e wood to drels the meat. The army accordingly halted, and formed two tines—Sir Samuel Auchmuty's brigade in front, and Colonel Mahon's in the rear. An offi cer and Come dragoons was fent back to Reduaion, to order Colonel Mahon to halt there till further orders. A little bef 're fun fet this evening we heat d a cannonade, apparently near Buenos Ayres, the Ileeples of which had been in fight fine we left Re duition. On the 3d of July the army marched a little before day break, and patting . the Chuello at the ford the guide pointed out, which he then told us was called Patio di Zamora—we went firward a mile and half in front to fee it.. The water was fo deep that the guide fwam his torte over, but, about a mile farther down the Dream we found a good and fafe pals. The army had arrived at the pal: between 19 and to o'clock, but as it was exceedingly narrow, j and the water np very near to the arm pits, the . whole army did. not evils until near one o'clock. About one mile and a half from the pals we met. an officer, fent by General Gower, with Dated to us that he had been engaged the evening before ; and this officer condneted us to Gower's chvifion, which was about 1 mile and a halt farther: we found their advanced pair were engaged all the morning, and I undertlood that he had juts before ordered the" to .withdraw, in order to induce an attack upon him.
