In this cite ;lion, finding that no impression had made, though many men bad reached the • and were either drowned or obliged to sue r. find ghat it was impossible to restore order in the n•g•m.nts where they were, I placed the reserve in pisitien, until I could obtain such information as to determine me how to act to the hest of my judgment, and whether or not I should resume the attack, and if so, 1 felt it could be done only by the reserve.-- The confidence 1 have in the corps composing it would Items encouraged me greatly, though not without loss, which might have made the attempt of serious x►:tsegoence, as I know it was the opinion of the late tli , tingolithed Commander of the Forces, that the car ryis..! of the first line would not be the least arduous service. After making the best reflections I was ca pable of, I kept the ground the troops then held, and went to meet Vice-Admiral Sir Alex. Cod', alle, and to tell him, that under all the circumstances I did not think it prudent to renew the attack that day. At about tea .o'clock, I learnt of the success of Cul. Thornton's corps on the right hank. I sent the,Com mending Officer of the Artillery, Colonel Dickson, to examine the sitna ion of the battery, and to re port .i it was tenable ; iult informinz me that he did not t'..ink it could he held with security by a smaller than two thouQi.l.d m n, I consequently ordered Lieut.-Colonel Gubbins, on whom the command had devolved (Colonel Thornton :r ing wounded), to re tire. Tt:e army remained in position until night, in er. der to gain time to destroy the eighteen-pounder buttery WP had constructed the preceding night in advance. I then• gave orders for the troops re• sumiii , z the ground they occupied previous to the at tack 0 . loss h;.s been very severe, but I trust it will not lAr een,idered, notwithstanding the failure, that this army has suffered the military character to be tarrnshed. lam satisfied, had L thought it right to renew the attack, that the troops would have ad. vancid with cheerfulness. The services of both army and navy, since their landing on this coast, have been arduous bey ond any thing I have ever witnessed, and tii , cu;t;es have bee's got over with an assiduity and erseverahce beyond all example by all ranks, ant f ;le most hearty co-operation has existed between the ; t) servioes. It s. not necessary for me to expatiate to you upon the loss the army has sustained in Major- Genern„l the Honourable Sir E. Pakenham, Com mend , r in Chief of this force, nor could I in ade. quate terms. His sertices and merits are so well known, that I have only, in common with the whole army, to express my sincere reuses, and which may be supposed at this moment to come peculiarly home to in.. Major-General Gibbs, who died of his wounds the follow : , sg day, and Major-General Keane, who were iswth carried off the field within twenty yards of the rhsris, at the head of their brigades, sufficiently sp- •Is at such a moment how they were conductiog th' ;,;Mies. lam happy to say Major-Geu. Keane is 0,,10g well. Captain Wylly, of the fusiliers, Military Secretary tst the late Commander of thA Forces, will have the bon° :r of delivering to your Lordship these dis patches. Knowin4 how much he enjoyed his esteem, and was iu hi. confidence from a long experience of Isis talents, I feel I cannot do less than pay this s t ilute to what I conceive would be the wishes of his bile General, and to recommend him strongly to your Lordship's protection. I have, &c. (Silned) JOHN LA NI HEAT, Major-Geier: commauding. [Nest follows a report from Major-General Keane, dated Camp on the left bank of the Missis sippi, 'tine miles from New Orleans, December 26, 181 I, Ftativg the landing of a part of the troops, and that tomtit ei,,ht o'clock in the evening on tho 22t1, when the men, much fatigued by tIE: length of time they had been in the boats, were asleep in their bir lac, a heavy dunking fire of round and grape shot wrs °woes! , :pon them, by a large schooner and two gun vess...f,, which had dr, , pped down the river from the town ; fr :n this they were covered.] A most vigorous attack was then made on the ad van,•••4 front right piequets, the former of tin 9514, under (' iptai:, 1:allnI., t'ie latter the 85th, undo Captain Sehaw ; these and their re specti w c pirgncts, conducted ..)selves with firmness, and :•11.,:ked the e•temy for a considerable time; but renewing thPir attack with a large force, and pressing at these poias, Colonel Thornton judged it neces sary to mote up toe remainder of both corps. The 85th regiment was commanded by Brevet Major Gubhins, whose conduct cannot be too much com mended ; on the approach of his regiment to the point of attack, the enemy, favoured by the dark ness i.f the night, concealed themselvea under a high fence which , eparlted the fields, and calling to the mer. as ftialth, under pretence of being part of our own force, offered to assist them in getting over, %Odd' wis no sooner accomplished than the 85th found itself in the midst of very superior numbers, who, discovering themselves, called on the regiment immediately to surrender—the answer was an in stantaneous attack; a more extraordinary conflict has perhaps never occurred, absolutely hand to hand both officers and men. It terminated in the repulse of the enemy with the capture of 30 prisoners. A similar fines.. was attempted with the 95th regiment, which met the same treatment. The enemy finding his reiterated attacks were re. pulsed by Col.Thoratoa, at half-past ten o'clock ad vanced s large column against our centre; per. ceiling his intention, I directed Colonel Stovin to order Lieutenant-Colonel Dale, with one hundred and thirty men of the 934 regiment, who had just reached the camp, to move forward and use the bayonet, holding the 4tb regiment in hand, formed in line, as my laid reserve. Colonel Dale endeavoured to execute his orders, but the crafty enemy would not meet him, seeing the steadiness of his small body, gave it a heavy fire cud quickly retired. Colonel Brooke, with four companies of the 21st regiment, fortunate ly appeared at that moment on our right flank, and solliciently secured it from further attack. The enemy now deteimined on making a last effort, and collecting the whole of his force, formed an extensive line, and moved directly against the. light brigade: At first this line drove in all the ad vanced posts, but Colonel Thorton, whose noble ex ertions had guaranteed all former success, was at hand; he rallied his breve comrades round him, and motthig forwards with it ffirm determination of charging, ap palled the enemy, who, from the lesson he had re ceived on the same litound in ths early part of the evening, *ought it prudent totetire, and did not again dare's advance. 4 at, on the Right Bent of the istaippi, Jnn. 8, INC lose time in 'sporting to you the sue . cess of the troops which you were yesterday pleased Ito place under my orders, with the view of attacking the enemy's redoubt and position on this side of the river. It is within your own knowledge that the difficulty , had been found so extremely great of dragging the boats through the canal which had been lately cut with so much labour to the Mississippi that, notwithstanding every possible exertion for the pur pose, we were unable to proceed across the river until eight hours after the time appointed, and ' even then, with only a third part of the force which you bad allotted for the service. The current was so strong, end the difficulty, in consequence, of keep ! ing the boats together, so great, that we only reach. ed this side of the river at day-break, and by the time the troops were disembarked, which vas effect ed without any molestation from.the eneetryj I per- I ceived by the flashes of the guns thatyottrintack had already commenced. ; This circumstance made me extremely anxious to move forward, to prevent the destructive enfilading ; fire, which would of course be opened is your :columns from the enemy's batteries on this Ode ; and II proceeded with the greatest possible elpeditiOn, I strengthened and secured on my right Rank by three !gun-boats, under Captain Roberts, of the navy, whose zeal and exertions on this occasion were as uu remitted as his arrangements in embarking the troops, and in keeping the boats together in crossing the • river were excelleut. The enemy made no opposi. tionto our advance, until we reached a pictieet, posted behind a bridge, at about 500 paces from the Orange Grove, and secured by a small work, uppa• . rently just thrown up. This picquet was very soon forced and driven in by a division of the 85tb regi ment, under Captain Schaw, of that regiment 4 form ing the advanced guard, and whose mode of attack for the purpose was prompt and judicious to a degree. Upon my arrival at the Orange Grove, I had an opportunity of reconnoitring, at about seven hun dred yards, the enemy's position, which I found to be a very formidable redoubt on the bank of the !river, with the right flink secured by an intrench ment extending back to a thick wood, and its line protected by an incessant fire of grape. Under such circumstances it seemed to me to afford the best prospect of success, to endeavour to turn his right at the wood; and I accordingly detached two divi isions of the 85th, under Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Gub bins, to effect that object, which he accomplished . with his usual zeal and judgment, whilst 100 sailors under Captain Money, of the Royal Navy, who, I am sorry to say, was severely wounded, but whose conduct was particularly distinguished on the occa sion, threatened the enemy's left, supported by the division of the 85th regiment, under Capt. Schaw. When these divisions had gained their proper po sition I deployed the column composed of two divi sions of the 85th regiment, under Major Deshon, whose conduct I cannot sufficiently commend, and about one hundred men of the royal marines under Major Adair, also deserving of much commendation, and mewed forward in line, to the attack of the centre of the intrenchment. At first the enemy, confident in his own security, showed a good coun tenance, and kept up a heavy fire ; but the determi nation of the troops which I had the honour to com mand, to overcome all difficulties, compelled him to a rapid and disorderly flight, leaving in our posses sion his redoubts, batteries, and position, with 16 pieces of ordnance, and the colours of the New Or leans regiment of Of the ordnance taken, I enclose the specific re turn of Major Mitchell, of the royal artillery, who accompanigd and afforded me much assistance, by his able directions of the firing of some rockets, it not hating been found practicable in the first instance to bring over the artillery attached to his command. I shall have the honour of sending you a return of the casualties that lia‘e occurred, as soon as it is pos sible to collect them, but I am happy to say they are extremely inconsiderable when the strength of the position, and the number of the enemy are considered, which our prisoners (about thirty in number) agree in stating, from fifteen hundred to two thousand men, commanded by General Morgan. I should be ex tremely wanting both in justice and in gratitude, ware I not to request your particular notice of the Officers whose names I have mentioned, as well as of Major Blanchard, of the Royal Engineers, and Lieu tenant Peddie, of the 27th regiment, Deputy-Assist ant-Quarter-Master-General, whose zeal arid intel ligence 1 found of the greatest service. The wounded nien are meeting with every degree of attention and humanity by the medical arrange. ments of the Staff-Surgeon Baxter. The enemy's camp is supplied with a great abundance of provi sions, and a very large store of all sorts of ammuni tion. On moving to the attack I received a wound which shortly after my reaching the redoubt, occa sioned me such pain and stiffness, that I have been obliged to give over the command of the troops on this side to Lieut.-Colonel Gubbins, of the 85th light infantry ; but as he has obtained some reinforce ment, since the attack, of sailors and marines, and has taken the best precautions to cover and secure his position, I will be answerable, from my knowledge of his judgment and experience, that he will retain it, until your pleasure and further orders shall be communicated to him. I ha►e the honour to be, &c. (Siitned) W. THORNTON, Lieut.• Col. B.sth Reg. To Mnjor• Gen. the Um Sir E. M. Pat:enham, K. K. ate. [An Extract from the Journal of Major Forrest, A. Q. M. G. of the movements the Army employed on the Southern Coast of North America, gives the details of the minor operations up to the lst of January.] His Majest%'s Ship Tennant, tiff Chandeleur's Island, Jan. 2S, 1815. ••• MY Loan,—After maturely &Jibe ting on the sitoation'of this army, after the corn nd had unfor tunately devolved upon me, on the th instant, and duly considerin what probability now remained of carrying on with success, on the same plan, an attack against New Orleans, it appeared to me that it ought not to be persisted in. I immediately commu nicated to Vice-Admiral Sir S. Cuchrance, that I did not think it would be prudent to make any fur ther attempt at present, and that I recommended re embarking the army as soon as possible, with a view to carry into effect the other objects of the force em ployed opon this coast ; from the 9th instant it was determined that the army should retreat, and I have the satisfaction of informing your Lordship that it was effected on the night of the 18th instant, and ground was taken up on the morning of the 19th, on both sides of the Bayone, or creek, which the troops had entered on their disembarkation, 14 miles froth their position before the enemy's line, covering New Orleans, on the left bank of the Misissippi, and of e mile from the entrace into Lac Borgne : the arSy re mained iu bivouac until the 27th instant when the whole were re-embarked. In stating the circumstances of this retreat to your Lordship, I shall confidently trust that you will see„ that good order and discipline ever existed in•this ar my, and that zeal for the service and attention was ever conspicuous in officers of all ranks. You Lordship is already acquainted with the position t'ne army occupied, its advanced post close up to the enemy's line, and the greater part of the army were exposed to the fire of his batteries, which was unre. mitting day and night since the Ist .3anuary, when the pbsition in advance,was taken up; the retreat was effected without being harassed in any degree by the enemy; all the sick and wounded (with the excep tion of eighty, whom it was considered dangerous to remove), field artillery, ammunition, hospital, and other stores of every description, which had been landed on a very large scale, were brought away, and nothing fell Into the enemy's hands, excepting six iron eighteen pounders, mounted on sea carriages, and two carronades which were in position on the left bank of the Mississippi, to bring them off at the moment the army was retiring was impossible, and to have done it previously would have exposed the whole force to any fire the enemy might have sent down the river. These batteries were of course de stroyed, and the guns rendered perfectly unservice able; only four men were reported absent next morn ing, and these, I suppose, must have been left be- Lind, and have fallen into the hands of the enemy ; but when it is considered the troops were in perfect ignorance of the movement, until a fixed hour dur ing the night, that the battalions were drawn off in succession, and that the picquets did nut move off till half-past three o'clock in the morning, and that the whole had to retire through the most difficult new made road, cut in marshy ground, impassable for a horse, and where, in many places, the men could only go in single files, and that the absence of men might be accounted for in so many ways, it would be rather a matter of surprise the number was so few. Au exchange of prisoners has been effected with the enemy upon very fair terms, and their attention to the brave prisoners and wounded, that have fallen into their hands, has been kind and humane, I have every reason to believe. However unsuccessful the termination of the late service, the army and navy have been employed upon, has turned out, it would be injustice not to point out how much praise is due to their exertions ; ever since the 13th December, when the army began to move from the ships, the fatigue of disembarking and bringing op artillery and supplies from such a distance has been incessant; and I must add, that owing to the exertions of the navy, the army has never wanted provisions. The labour and fatigue of the seamen and soldiers were particularly conspicuous on the' night of the 7th inst. when fifty boats were dragged through a canal into the Mississippi, in which there were only 18 inches of water, and 1 am confident that Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, who suggested the possibility of this operation, will be equally ready to admit this, as well as the hearty co-operation of the troops on all occasions.
