taieie aeee ii-en so eminently coespicuous.in every yank, and
in every situation and circumstance, the recommendation of'
particular individuals' to their Lordships' more immediate notice
may be deemed superfluous.
It is, however,. from a sense of justice that I rccoi d the ser-
vices of Captain • Beaver, of his Majesty's ship Nisus, whom I
entrusted with the auptrintendance of the whole arrangements
for the disposition and debarkation of the army, and whose abi-
lities and experience on similar occasions particularly qualitied
him to undertake this important duty. Nor should I omit to
b-ar testimony to the unwearied exertions of Captain Patterson,
of his Majety's Hesper, and of Lieutenant B. Street, corn-
rn nding the Government armed ship Enuna, who were em-
ployed for many successive nights in sounding, and (as it has
been proved) gained a perfect knowledge of the anchorage on
the enemy's coast, and who were equally strenuous in their ser-
vices in various ways on s!iore.
I beg a!so.to recommend to their Lordships' notice Lieutenant
Edward Lloyd, who volunteered his services under the ininie-
dnite eye of the Commander of the Forces, and in this, as well as
many former instances, has received the most honourable testi-
monies of his gallantry..
I have the honour to transmit a copy of a letter addressed to
me by Captain Montague, of the Royal Navy, who commanded
the first division of the seainen landed, as well as two extracts
from General Orders issued at head-quarters. From the absence
of some of the ships, I have not been able to colteet the returns
of the number of marines and seamen landed, or of the loss, but
I have the satisfaction to know it has been very inconsiderable.
The return of shipping, as correctly stated as I have yet been
able to collect it, I have the honour to inclose. Various consi-
derations have impelled me to dispatch the Menelaus with the
least delay possible, and hav mg intrusted these communications
to the care of Captain Rowley, wko will he the hearer of them
to their Lordships, I beg to refer their Lordships to hint fur
every further particular, and to add, that his long and arduous
services on this station have established a just claim to any
honourable distinction it may please. their Lordships or the
country to bestow on have the honour to be, &e.
