I bare now only to repeat the expressions of my highest satis faction with the conduct of the officers of the Royal Ai tinily and Engineers as formerly particularised in the report of the first attack. Every brawl' of the Artillery service has been conducted by Col. Dickson, with the greatest ability, was that of the Eligineer de vilment by Lieui.-Col.

Licht.-Col. Burgoyne was himself wounded, and only quitted the field from loss of blood ; but lam happy to Say he is able to carry on the duty of the department. The conduct of the navy has been continued on the same princi ple of zealous co-operation by Sir George Collier ; and the services of Lieut. O'Reiliey, with the seamen employed in the batterieli, has been equally conspicuous as before. Your Lordship will now permit me to call your attention to the conduct of that distinguished officer, Major-kien. Oswald, who has had the temporary command of the :Ali division in Lient.-Gen. Sir James Leith's absence, during the whole of the campaigo, and who resigned tne command of the diviiton ou Sir James Leith's arrival en the 30.;hultiruo. • N • THE NATIONAL RECITSTML .. SEPT. 10. Having carried ou with indefatigable attention all the laborious duties of the left attack, no person was more able to give Sir James Leith the best in'Ortuation and assistance.

Sir J. Leith to the trenches on the occasion of the assault. I have infinite soistitction in aysuring your Lordship of any perfect appre. bation of Major Gen. Oswald's conduct, ever since the 3th division formed a part of the left consumer the army. I beg to assure your Lordship, that Col. Delancey, Deputy-Quar ter-Master-General, and Licut: Col. Borrvt-rie, Assistant-Adjutant- General, attaelsed to the left column, have continued to render me the mo't valuable assistance; and that the zeal of Capt. Calvert o f " "'o ..
