I enclose a return of the killed and wounded in the attack of the enemy's position on the vd inst. - - - Ernani, July 27, 1813. My Lord,—The attack of the breach in the line wail on the left flank of San S. ;:astlan's took place on the morning of the 2.5 th, when the fill of the tide left the foot of the wall thy, which was swan after day-light. I am s,t ry to say, that notwithstanding the distinguished gallantry of the troop.; employed, some of whom did force their way into the town, the attack did not succeed. The Nicmy occupied in force all the defences of the place which looked that way, and from which, and from all round the breach, they were enab ed to bring so destructive a fire of grape and musketry, flanking and enfilading the column, and to throw over so many hand-gri limit... on the troops, that it became necessary to desist from the assault. The lass sustained was therefore severe, especially by the third battalion Roy,d Scot, the leading one of Majot•General Hay's brigade, which being on duty in the trenches, formed the column of attack ; Atijor-General Spry's Portuguese brigade, that of Ma jor-General Hol►itison, and the 4th Casadores ot• Brigadier Wilson's, being in reserve•in the trenches : the .whole tinder the direction ot• Major -General Oswald, commanding the btli division Though this attack has failed, it would be great injustice not to us•nre your Lordship, that the troops conducted themselves with their usual gallantry, and only retired, when I thought a further perseverance in the attack would have occasioned an useless sacri fice of brave men. Major-General Hay, Malay Frazer, Colonel the 11(morable C. F. Greville i and Colonel Cameron, command inc the Royal Scotch, 38th, and 9th regiment , : ' greatly distinguished w themselves. M a j o r Fier lost his life op the breach, with many of his brave comrades. The conduct, throughout the. whole or the operations of the siege hitherto, of the officers and men of the royal artillery • and engineers, never was exceeded in indefatigable zeal, activity,. and gallantry; and I beg to mention pal tienlarly to your Lordship, Lient,Coionels Dickson, Fraser, and Aiv; and Major Webber Smyth, of the royal artillery ; Lieni.-Coionel Sir R. Fletcher, Lieut. Col. Burgoyne, and Majors Ellicumbe, and C. F. Smith, of the royal engitwers. The three officers of this corps, employed to conduct differe:it parts of the columns of attack, b:-haved admirably, but suffered seen'' Iv. Capt. Lewis has lost his ; Lieut. Jon, was wounded in the breach, and taken ; and Lieut. Machen, after his return, was Mot ti tit !•• it twilit... beg, WO / to recomiend to your Lordship, Lieut. Campbell, of the 9th, who led hie forlorn hope, and mho was severely wonnileti on tit,: breach. I have the greatest sati-factio”, too, in assuring your Lot ilship of the most cordial support and assistance, afforded by Sir George Collier, commanding his Majesty's ships on this coast, and of all the officers and seamen of the squadron employed on shore . No exertion that could be afforded was wanting; and Lieut.-Col. Dickson has represented to me, in the strongest terms, the steady and gallant conduct of a detachment of seamen in the batteries, mi er the commatitO of Lient O'Reilly (first Lient. of his Majest)'s slip Surveil!ante). and of their exemplary behaviour whi!e on shore. bi.g. too, to mention Mr. Digbv MANI), master's mate, acting oft Lientnant in the batteries, after Lieut.
