I theiefore consented to adopt the mortifying alternative of down our arras. I fir roe now t , perform the just factory duty of cOO% eying to your Exc( Ilvocy my sense of the once its and good conduct of the (Beers and solder, in this bold and ardu ous enterprise. I have only a knowledge of what passel under my own observation, and I lament that the loss of Major-General Ne..errett, fiom his il,mgerous wounds, and of the other saperim officers employed at the other paints of attack, prevents me from giving such doailed•raise of the merits of the otficcrs and soldiers as I have no doubt they deset ve. I beg to repeat my sense of the distinguished conilnet of Colonel Lord Proby ; Lieut.-Colonels Root.ie and ATercer, commanding the Sd gtreids and light infantry, distingukhed themselves by their ac tivity and bravery ; and Majors Mutticbury and Hog, of the f9th and fi.'ith re. , ,iments, deserve my %rat in praise for the conduct dis played by tito:c corps in tl:e charges 1 has'? before mentioned.
