HAaments, in common with the whole corps; the severe loss to the service of these distinp,uished• officers, Lieutenant-Colonel Clifton, command ing the Ist Guards, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. James Macdonald, of that regiment: These officers fell, with many. others,- at the Antwerp Gate, all behaving with the greateSt intrepidity ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Jones, with the remain der,of the detachment, was forced to surrender. The service of conducting the columns was ably provided for by . Lieutenant-Colonel Carmichael Smyth, - of the Royal ,Engineers, (he himself ac- companied Major-General Cooke, as did also Lieut, Col. - ; Sir George Wood, commanding royal artillery.) who-. attached officers to lead each co lumn, via. Captain Sir George Hoste, and Lieu tenant Abbey, to the left; and Lieiitenant Sparling to the right, and Captain Edward . Mich ell, royal artillery, who volunteered his services, to the centre of the column, each having a party of sappers and miners under his command. Lieut. Abbey was dangerously_ wounded, and Captain Michell was covered . with wounds, in the act of. escalading the scarp wall of the place, but I trust there are good .hopes of his not being lost to the service. tour Lordship will readily believe, that though it is impossible not to feel the disappoilArnt of our ultimate failure in this attack,. ,e 4.11 only think at present with the deepest regret of the loss of so many of my gallant comrades. I have the honour to be, &c. THOMAS GRAHAM.

G. soners. Bergen-op-Zoom, March 10, 1514, 'SIR,-1" have now the honour of reporting to your ExcellenCy,'that the column which made the attack on the Antwerp side got into the place about eleven o'clock on the night of the Bth, by the cloCdt of this town ; but at .about half-past eleven, by the time we weresegulated, by, a delay having occurred at Bourgbliet, occasioned by my fineing it necessary to change the point of attack, on acoount,of• the, state of the ice at the first in tended Spot., Every, exertion was made by Lieu tenant-Colonel Smyth and Captain Sir G. Hoste, of the Royal Engineers, in getting on the lad ders and planks requisite for effecting the enter prize, and in directing the placing them forn,tli 4 e descent into the ditch, the passing the feet in the ,ice, and ascending the ramparts of .the body of the place ; during which operation several men here lost by a fire from the rampart. After we t ere established on the rampart, , and,•had occu pied some houses, from whence we :might have been much annoyed, and had sent a,strong patrole towards the point at which Major-Gen. Skerrctt and Lieutenant-Colonel Calletbn had entered, I detached Lieutenant-Colonel Clifton with part of the Ist Guards, to ,seetne the Antwerp Gate, and to See if he confer get any information of the co • loran mid& Lieutenant-Colonel Mortice. Lieu tenant7Colonel, Clifton reached the gate . , but found that it could -not'be opened by his men, the enemy throwing a 'very heavy fire np a street' leading to it. It was also, found that they occu pied, aw outwork, commanding the bridge, which ;would' effectually render that outlet useless to :us. I heard ,nothing more of this detaclitnent,' but considered it-as lost, the tommunication having Leeti in:errupted by the enemy. Lientenant-Colonel Rooke, with part of the 3d ;_guards, was afterwards sent in that direction, drove the even i ly from the intermediate rampart, and reached the gate, vlien he found it Useless to attempt any thing, and, ascertained 'that the out work was still occupied. We were joi9ed in the course of-the night by the 33d; 55th, and 20 bat talion.ol G9th regiment, but the state ,of -nncer- Minty as to what bad passed at other points, de termined me not to weaken the force liow col )ectcd, by attempting to carry pints which' we could not maintain, or penetraie through the streets with the certain loss of a great number of xnen, particalarly as I heard that th,e troops at the Water Port date, muter Meat.-Colonel Muller, Were very seriously opposed. I sent the 33d to reinforce hint. The. enemy continues a galling fire upon us anti at one time held the adjoining bastion, from the angle 'of which they completely commanded our communication with the exterior, and brought their guns, at that angle to bear against us. They were charged and driven away by Majors Mottle bury and Hog, with the 69th arid 55th, i,i a very Spirited and gallant style. Finding that Matters were becoming • more se rious, and being still without any information from other points, excepting that of the failure of Lieutenant-Colonel Morrices celumn near the Nourd Gate,. "determined, at the suggestion of Colonel Lord Proby, to let part of the troops withdraw, which' was done at the ladders where they entered. About day-light the enemy having again pos sessed themselves\of the before-mentioned bastion, they were again driven from it by Major Muffle bury and Hog, - with their,weak battalions, in the same gallant manner. I soon afterwards began sending off Some more men, when Lieutenant- ColoneLcones, who had been taken Prisoner in the night,- came to me, (accompanied by a French officer,- who summoned me to surrender) and in- formed me that Lieutenant-Cal. Muller, and the troops at the Water Port Gate had been obliged to surrender, and were marched prisoners into the town, when also learnt the fate of Lieutenant• Colonel Clifton's detachment,, and of Majoi'-Ge neral Skerrett, Major-Gen. Gore, and Lieut.-Co- Jonel Carleton, and — that the troops which bad followed them had suffered very much, and bad been repulsed from the advanced' points along the rampart where they had penetrated to. I was con vinced that- a -longer continuance of_the contest would be an useless loss of lives,- and without a prospect of relief as we were situated. I there fore consented to adopt the mortifying alternative of laying doWn our arms. I have now to perform the just and satisfactory duty of conveying to your Exeellency my sense-of the merits and goad conduct of the officers and sOldiers in this bold and arduous enterprise : I have only a knowledge of what passed under niy own observation, and I lament that the loss of Major- General Skerrett, from his dangerous wounds, and of the other superior officers employed at the other points of attack, prevents me from giving such detailed praise of the merits of the Officers and soldiers, as I bare no doubt they deserve. I beg to repeat my sense - of the distinguished conduct of Colonel Lord Proby ; Lieutenant-Co lonels Itooke and Mercer, commanding the 3d aufirds, - and light infantry, distinguished thein 'selves by their activity and bravery; and Majors Muttlebtiry and Hog, of the 69th and 55th regi ments, deserve my warm praise for the conduct displayed by tbose corps in the charges I have before mentioned. I bare every reason to know that Lieutenant-Colonel Clifton conduct, ed his detachment in the most gallant and officer-like manner; and I have to lament that his .death deprives me of receiving his report of the coniluct of Lieutenant-Colonel Al`Do- nald Jony-s, and the Officers and soldiers of the Ist Guards, under his command. I am not yet enabled to, transmit an exact return of the prisOners taken at different times by the ene my, nor of the numbers taken from theM. I have the honour to be, Bcc.. (Signi) J. G.
