I lament on this occasion the loss sustained by this ' , Oen corps, vihick has suffered consider sly, amounting to no less than four lieutenants Ulla! ; one field Officer and four captains wotind cd; 'with upwards Of eighty men killed and wotteded ; 'but the effort decided the campaign, the enemy being so confounded in finding his flank 'turned, and the heights occupied, that the Cap :lain-Cenci:ll instantly hoisted white Bags at his own quarters and Other places, whilst the -troops were advancing ; and Indeed this officer's person greatly exposed in his position.

This force underwent a gradual dimunition, and latterly a very extensive one, by' the falling off of the colonial troops, and the increase of the sick and wounded, whose numbers (independent of the , killed and missing, which are considerable) are stated to me to exceed six hundred.
