The intrepidity ■nd courage of the tromps cannot be bet-
ter described than in the simple fact, that in less than two
hours after the arrival of the head of the columns al the
Ford of the Supra, where the enemy had I di en post, the
passage• of this river was e &vital, the enemy completely
driven from their numerous artillery, and every gun left in
our possession.
The conduct of the light artillery hi ignite, tinder Captain
Reedyered, covered by She Rocket loopi, was such only is
the Commandrr.in•Chief esperted but his Fsrelleney cvntld
not fail to be particularly struck by the admirable emibies•
and steadiness with which the battery 'hissed the liver, and
took up its position within point blank shot of the enemy's
gulls, and to its well directed bre And promptitude ill
ing, as too much praise cannot be given. His Excellency
'slims that this valuable corps should unavoidably bare
sustain. d PO severe a cannonade, by which, at one time, the
whole of its guns were disabled.
The charge of the Ist and 2d brigades of cavalry, under
Lieutenaist-Coloncl Russell and Major LuAington, consist-
ing of the detachment of his Majesty's 22d Dragoons, under
(*eosin Vernon, the 3.1 Light Cavalry, under Lieut. Clubly,
the 4111 Light Cavalry, under Lieutenant Magnay, and the
lath Light Cavalry, unlike Captain Martin, flanked by the
Mysore Silladar horse, under Captain James Gud, was
most judiciously timed and admirably executed.

•I'he steadiness of the foot artillery battery, under [dente-
-111111 Be was highly conspicuous, mud the
positiou it occupied to cover the troops crossing the riser,
and to ei.filaile the enemy's artillery, was highly creditable.
The advance of the light brigade, Under Major !town,
gave every possible effect in driving off the enemy's horse
and aLitinislors (min the hank of the liver, when the army
was crossing to for in, and left in the mind of the Commander-
in-Chief the must lasting impression of the undaunted emu
rage and unquestionable utility of those valuable corps. The
order and regularity with which this brigade moved forward
to attack the left of the enemy's batteries, has impressed the
romtioander-iu.Chief %ids the highest sentiments of admira-
tion ; and his Eseilltory must here notice the Undaunted
gallantry with *Mel' the charge was made, under the env-

most favourable terms, the Ist hattal l4ll. Regiment

credit upon that officer, to whom the thanks and praise of
