From tbs report of the war department it np*
peared, that the troops.of the “ additional military
force,” ordered for the proteetioa of New Orleans*
encamped under the command of gen. Wilkinson at
£
Terre au Beauf, on the Mississippi, 15 miles below
New Orleans on the 8th June, where they remain*
ed until Sept, whan they moved op tha river.
The return of this corps on.the Slit Oct. I8O9*
represents, that in this.short period
16 Officers and
800 Privates had died—That , V
745 Officers .and privates were then sick—'That
4t Officers had resigned, and of the wholSiffi
tachment only 276 private* were fit for d\ity. * ,

this subject, collected with (treat care, evidence il
lustrative *f the case. Their report displays 4
scene of suffering and wretchedness among the
troops, before unheard of, in thia country. They
ascribe tl a;r sufferings to the following causes : f
The detachment consisting of new levies* y
The unbealtinrss of the climate, ,
The lowness of the ground on which they went
$
encamped,
The want of sound provisions, and hospitals and'
hospital stores,
Fatigue of the men in clearing and ditching land
for a camp, •
Want of repose during the night, for want of
nets to protect from the annoyance of masgaetoea*,
Want of cleanliness, impracticable from thait
position, and .
