porting body was within 25 yards : the enemy went about, and then the supporting body joined. Cat. Paltrier bad directed them to keep as well dressed as possible, and to form as good a hoe as they could previous to the chAs-ge : this order must have been heard by Colotta:Quintin It appeared.: to me, that the men in itAlvanee wonted support the men with Colonel Quintin did not join till after the shock, which had given them time to come up." Capt. !larding was next examined.--..' I was with my •,roop the day after the battle of Orthes : we advancing in support of _the skir nsis4ers, %vio).were engaged with the enemy ; in a short tune tile order was given to attack, in pur sttauce of which I was desired by Colonel Quintiu to go forward and call in the skirmis'iers : I coot monicated this order to Colonel Palmer. This gave time to the supporting body to. come up.— We then advanced at a brisk trot, and aftet wards . broke. into a slow gallop: when we were within about a hunched yards of the enemy, I heard Co lonel (Jonah' call to the tnen to keep their hor,es in baud, or, words to that effect. At this moment I thought it right to go and join those in advance. 1 did so, and saw nothing more of Col. Quintin When within a short distance of the enemy, I looked hack, and was surprised to tied tilts sup pornrig bo,iy was not near us. Colonel Quintin ryas with tbe supporting hotly. I recollect that be fore I joined the advance., Colonel Palmer sent 'a message to Colonel Quintin for support : l oh serve::: ouce twice to Colonel Quiotin that the supporting boily, was too tar from the skirmishers. I, recollect that when I joined Colonel Palmer, he askei one why I . did not keep closer with the Stip potting body *1 I answered, that it was - tiot my fault I was not in cointmtud. The, enemy formed, and met our charge : 1 was wounded, and com 7, pelled.to go to the rear. At the tune of the charge, , t supporting body was distant abOut 20. yards. Lieut.-Fitaelareuce was next called —" I be longed•to Capt. Harding's troop, and was in the left thank skirmishing : I saw the .skirmishers' called in, and joined with them. At this ,time Colonel Quintio was at the head of the squa dron : we broke into a gallop and advanced. then heard Colonel Quiutin call out, "Don't' blow your .horses ; trot, trot." The enemy filed their pistols: I heard a noise in the rear I look ed back, and saw, not far oil, a grey horse fall ing : I sio.v Colonel Quintin rein in his horse, and the. division liroke and openei to pass him. I then j . ikirmishers with Col. Palmer, and we en t.gcd aid pursued the enemy sortie way. Colonel F.:'tner soon after asked the men if they ' were ready „ir :::.other charge ?.they said, yes. Colooel Pa‘n:ter then charged again, and took some men and horses. I was then sent by Co lon w Co lonel Palmer itha message to Colonel Quilitin. I rode- up to the squadron with which he was, and hallos: eel to, him as loud as I could, " Colonel Qtzintio, Colonel Palmer wants you in the front." 1 then: gallope,liback, being apprehensive that the men might be epgaged again. There was 0001- ficer to I.iommand Captain lla.rdiog's troop, lie be ing wounded.. The. enemy NvereVill formed, but the centre sow:deoir advanciog,,, and Snme shot being tired by the horse-artillery,, who had come up,- the enemy went ..about, : and retired. To the best of my. kno:ledge Colonel Quildin did not join Colonel ! Palincr in consequence of.. the Mes- S3.ge : bad lie joineo, a greater intpresion might bave•been made on .he enemy. Lord Edward Somerset was on. the ground, and, I believe, gave toe order tor the centre squadron to ad- NanC.C, the ,tins to phy." , Aivor,Joits wa Cm lied to prove the distance tics.) front Calnho. • Lint:noneit lieanehasop was ,Aide-de-Canip to Sir Stapleton Cottoo, on the, 2p li - of February.

In his way he. met ,General - Cotton. lie was with Colonel Fainter vehen. his charge had reached a considerable distauce ; and be observed that as the . French were much superior, : he tnirst suffer greatly should they char e, which they were about to, do, Colouel Palmer, however, rode up, and recti:ed the " etiemy's attack, which iininced hint to go back immeniately,• in order 'to bring up the s t ipportitigsquadron. lie !lid not know whether , Goi.!Palrner desired hint to do so, hut he knew it to he. his wish. • Scrjeata Lacey was orderly to Colonel Quintin oft the 28th, Remembered the regimeot meeting. the French cavalry on the road. Saw Colonel Quintin in front of the division when the first squadron was ri.iinv down to charge the enemy. He passed Colonel Quintin upon 'the charge,when about 20 or 30 yards from the enemy. The reason of his passing the C:iionel was his horse went taster tltaa, the. Colonel's Mare, which appeared to .be blown. Cclonel Quillen' said nothing to . hi.n as he passed. They were then about a yards behind the slirmishet s. :any of tLe. were bl ,, w n, and obliged to fall behind : Colooei Quintin say to the men, " doo's. blow your horses." Did . not h car Colonel Qi. ntin answer to Colonel ..Panner's inquiries, but saw Lint on the ground soon after. He came up with the supporting hquadrun on the second attempt to charge. SerjeantSodges recollected the charge on the hi g h road, on the '2Bth February ; lic belonged, as s upernumerary, to Captain Harding's troop, and was in,thc :Tar of the front division. When they first advanced, Co:•)nel. Quintin was at the of the- leading but not al . :,ervards.

Col. Quintal's horse seemed to hint in very good condition - , never saw Col. Quintin'S . horses otherwise : could - not say whe ther Col. Quintin's•horses were not sometimes in good - condition when most oe the other horses were out of condition, As .he passed Colonel Winn.), heard - him say " go on, my dear boys." Did not see,any horses blown, hitt . ,one horse fell, and caused a break in the division. , They were not galloping so hind before they passed Colonel. Quintiu as aiterwards4. they mended their pace on Colonel Quilitin addressing,. hem. - Private Earl was Ott the road when the charge took place. He passed - ' cOlonel Quititin within half a horse's length. Colonel Quititin was on the trot when he passedan ; his horse did licit appear distressed. %%limas's horse was . on the full gal lop ; could not say whether other horses were dis tressed. Colonel Quint in said as,lie . passed him, Let your horses .go, .don't spaye them," -Could not recollect how long they had b, en walloping.- blit•a considerable time : did oot.recollect the di- - vision opening to let ColonetQuintin pa-s.. Private Williams sa,id, he, passed Col. Quintin in th e charge on the '2Bth, , ,who desired them not to spare their horses. They were - then going very fast ; he continued in the charge till he was ,wounded:. He could not .say 7 whether Colonel Quintin's horse was Flown, but he did not observe that his horse appeared distressed. • . _ Serjeant Shad Well acted as seijeant.',lnsjor on the clay in . quest ion. Taere were 18 prisoners be-, sides hOrses taken that day. He was in the rear on ilie advance, and observed no horses in bad ettlidition,or tall back. He passed Colonel Quintio in. front . ot: the second dii;is:on,_ and came up to the •first, Which was then in ku..tion. Ile assisted in taking back the . prisaners . ; . and returning ngaii, passed the second division. Captain Fitzgerald commanded the skirmishers in advance on the ''sth February. On the high road he ' received a volley, but rentained till he observed the main body of the French eavalmad vaneing at a gallop. lie then looked hack to see how he was supported, and saw Captain the Dake de (-inhales, at the Ii i of the centre squadron, waving hi; sword, and telling the men " to look to him, he was then Captaio-" He then joined his division with the skirmishers. The French seeing this, pulled short tip, .threw out their skir flashers, and retired. He commanded the skit.- mislters of the sefnind division, and was with them. constantly tiil they joined the division. He saw nothing of Colonel Qu'ntia, Captain Stuart recollected the Count de Gram mont's squadron being ordered to retire after Ciptain Harding wag wounded. His own troop belonged to that squadron. He remembered the volley front the Fiend' infantry. Colonel Quin tin passed 1010 from i the front to the rear after the leading divisiu.o inutput about. He did not know who gave tne order for the centre division to ad vance, but b.•iieved it was Lord Edward Somerset, who WiLS preseat. , ... WEDNEDAY.--THIRD DAY. Lieut. Fit zciarence was "gilled, and questioned as to the vale of Colonel Quintin's horse, whe ther it was blown ? '' No ; the horse seemed to be. presSin4: forward : our horses had been otit'a!l of Colonel Quintin bad not. 'Mil horses bad moved f“ e or six leagues• before tlid charge, and yet we were able to ,;!rive the enemy three : quarters of a mile or more." Captain Lloyd deposed as followS I saw tht right squadron begiu• to gallop ; I thought - it was - going-to charge.. Colonel Quintin was then in front of the leading division. I immediately galloped lij as fast as I could to support this di vision. I did not overtake. it till after the charge. : On coming up, I went to the front, and Colonel Palmer asked the horses were b10,%n 1 re plied, no. Ile then put the same question to the "men ; they said . , no : and waved their swords, ;and §eemed anxitt is to go on. 1 do not recollect whether -Colonel 6 uint in passed Incas 1 was riding up to frOnt. The Colonel rode a large brown mare that day : she was in excellent working eon 1. remember the leading division of the ,centre squadron receiving a volley trout infantry. The last time I saw Colonel Quintin, he was at the head of •the division which I passed with my division. When the volley was tired; Colonel Quintin rode up to me, and, told me' to face the enemy. ~ .H e then passed ine„ and 1, seeing the enemy coining, ()Meted my division to face the enemy. .1 did not again see Colonel Quintin,who went to the rear." Capt. Harding- xvas called, and examined as to the state of Col. Quintin's horse:—" llis horse, when I left hint to join the advanced body, W 35 not at all distressed. I had been with Colonel Quintin a great part of the day previously : I think 'he rode a brown mare. I do not remember what occurred to me as the reason for the supporting body not Coining up, but I was much surprised : but being wounded, I did not reflect much on the circumstances till afterwards." Eversfield:-1" When I 'looked back, Colonel Qtiintin's horse dill not appear to be dis tressed : lie seemed to have hint in: hand. I thought the men with Col. Quintin did not come ott so fast as they might have done: I 'made no observation tipon, it, though Mr. Fitzclurence did. . I conceived that the men were kept back : by Col. Quintin, and not at their Own wish. I recollect -the excellent behaviour of the omen in the affair at I NI I , Moral a. On that Gay, • .itooarts Command ed the regiment, and was. promoted to he Colonel sit conseTienec of the charge at that place.'' The JUDGE ADVOCATE here interposed : he - said it could hardly be necessary to. pursne this. part of the-evidence.; it must now 'clearly appt;ari that the nien had oHiuved nmst gallantly, and no wind co:lid-he so distortod- as to think otherw _Colonel Pillory thotight - : it' vecy timpoyt a .nt: -that the men 61/oillil understand that no blame attached to them All lion.

The JUp.GE ADVOCATE said, that the question bad now taken something like - a specific shape, and might be allowed. Colonel ElleV was then called Colonel Palnier;—" As yon luive been so many• . -_,years, a CavalrY" Officer, and ittive. seen so much service, where would you expect to find the Com mander of a cavalry regiment when .it was ad vancing upon the enemy, it you, !tad orders for him i" =Colonel Etiev.—“ rind i orders. to deliver, I. should expert to find the .COMtnanding with the leading s'iinadron Colonel Palmer.—'' Why r• • Colonel Elley..7—" 1 conceive that the good of time service requires it, in order that he may :personally observe the goo►l conduct of his corps, and be ready in _an instant to take advantage of the enemy, by an attack if an opportunity should offer."

COloriel Elley.—" I have ever considered the post of an Officer in comUland (If a regiment, to be with that squadron wiich is nearest the enemy the reason l have already stated. I had a distant view of the charge made 6v the 10th, but. could not di,tinguish individual Otlicers. The charge did no appear to me to be so long as to fatigue the horses." Here the evidence on" the F. mind charg . e was. closed, and the third charge WhS reA. To sup port it, . .

Lieutenant Seymour deposed, that the regiment on the day described became exposed to the fire of a line of French infantry. lie was induced in consequence to proceed to the front.
