the triumph of the British totes, demob the (Loll.
companies of tise tih:h had however an mato-
comity of distinguishing ilionishivio in dislodging st
number of horse and rificnien irons the heights on
our right flank. This brilliaot achievement how-
ever. SvA clouded by the lest or Captain Foster, of
the grenadiers, whose gallantry is best recorded in
the bosoms of his brother seldiets, and the univero
sal regret of the army.
It is utterly impossible to convey to your 'Lord-
'ship. an adequate idea of the obstacles which opposed
the advance, and retarded the success of our army,
but it is try duty to inform your Lordship,
that the nature of the country--a deep, heavy,
and arid land, covered with shrubs, scarcely per-
vious to light bodies of inn intry ; and, above all,
the total privation of water, under the diets of a
burning sun, had nearly eshassted oar gallant fel-
lows netteionerrneut of viitorys ood-wieh the utmost
oft fficulty were we a'sle to reach the Reit Valley,
where weoook our position for the night. A con-
siderable pention of the provisions and necessaries
With which we started, had been lost during the ac-
tion, and we occupied our ground under :in appre-
hension that even the great exertions of Sir Home
Popham and the steer could not relieve us from
co:ration.
My Lord, on every occasion where it has been
found necessary to call for the co-operetion of Bri-
• tish seamen in land enterprises, their valour has
been so conspicuono and their spirit of labour and
perseverance• so unconquerable, that no tribute of
my anplou,e coo add a lustre to their character ;
hut I discharge a nitoit agreeable portion of my duty.
in as-uting your Lordship, that on the recent em-
plosment of their services, they have maintained
their reputation : and in this place it behoves me to
inform ~cur Lordship, that the uniform good con-
du ,11 of those gallant fellows, and the zeal of Cop.
fain George Ryng %silo commanded them, tog -ther
with that of every slit:ordinate Officer, have ranked
my fullest approbation.
*The hos of the enemy, in this engagement, is re-
ported to exceed seven hundred men in killed and
womided • and it is with the most sensible gratifica-
tion that I contrast it with the inclosed return of
our casualties. Your Lordship will perceive the
name of Lientenont-Coloncl Grant amoog the
wounded, but the heroic spirit of this Officer was
not subdued by his misfortune, and he continued to
lead bit Inert to gl..ry, x, long as an enemy WAS
opposed to His Majesty's 72,1 regiment. I have the
cordial satisfaition to add, that his wound, ttioneh
very severe, is not pronounced danoasous; aid I
indulge the hope and expectation of his early ,re-
covery and resumption ..Icomnsond.
On the morning of the ttrh, recruited by such
supplies as the unweaned d:hgerce and efforts of
the navy could throw on shore, the 59th Regiment
linvreves, being almost completely destitute of food,
we prosecuted our march towards Cape-Town, and
took up a pnsitiou south of tialt River, which, we
trusted might preserve a free communication with
the squad' on ; for our battering train, as well AS
every hther necessary. except water, was to pass to
ns from His Majesty's ships. In this situation, a
Bag of truce was sent to me by the Commomiont
of the garrison of Cape-Town (the Governor-
General, Jensens, having retired alter the Athens of
the Bth, into the country, moving by Hottentots
Holland Kiinit). requesting a suspension of hostili-
ties for forty-eight hours, in order to negotiate a
capitulation. In answer to this overture, I dis-
patched Brigadier-General Ferguson, accompanied
by Lieutenant-Colonel Brownrigg, to stipulate, as
the condition of my acquiescence, the surrender of
the outworks of the town within six hours, allowing
thirty-six hours for arranging the articles of ca-
pitulation.
My proposition being assented to, the 59th regi-
ment marched into Fort Knokke ; and the next day,
in conjunction with Sir Home Popham, the terms
were agreed upon, and His Majesty's forces were
put in possession of the several defences of the town.
Of the modified capitolation, as ratified by us, 1
have the honour tit inclose a copy.
The cordial, able, and zealtios co-operation of
Commodore .`sir Home Popham, emulated by all the
officers under his command, merits try warmest
acknowledgments and commendation s end I have
the satisfaction to add, that no united service was
ever performed with more tint harmony, than has
saviihmenty Iwo manifested by both braueleerof its
Maj-sty's forces. Stich of His Majesty's ships as
could be spared from the service of Lover& Bay,

shot among his troops and people, and comfit:toting

by the Marines of the fleet, and a party of seamen
from the Diadem, under the Commodore's imme-
diate command, to occupy a positioa in Reit Valley,
and co operate with the army.
The marines, and the Hon. Company's recruits,
as well as their cadets, headed by 'Lieutenant-Colo-
nel Willer. of the Bengal establishment, have been
usefully employed in different branches of the ser-
vice; but I have to regret the deprivation of the
services of the 20th dragtoons, and Lhth regiment.
