N 1 Y LORD—in my letter of the 23th instant, I had the
honour to transmit to your lordship the details of our operations
to the 11th preceding, from that period to the 19th we were
incessantly employed in the construction of gun and mortar hat-
teries, and in the landing cannon, mortars, and how itzers, a ith
their ammunition and stores, in dragging them to the several
points selected by the engineers, and in the completion of. the-
%vorks. and in mounting th ordnance. The exertions of Com-
modore Cockburn, and other naval officers under his orders upon
the right, and of Captains Barton and Nesham of the navy upon
the left. in forwarding these services. were most conspicuous. The
enemy during the interval fired upon our encampments with shi.t
and shells, but fortunately with little eGct, and his picq nets,w hen
pressed, constantly fell hack under the protectinn of his works.
On the 10th, at half past four in the afternoon, we opened floor
six point; upon the enemy's fortress, w jib fourteen pieces of
heavy cannon, and twenty-eight mortars and how itzers, and tile
cannonade and bombardment continued with little remission
until noon of tile 23d, when the French General sent a trumpet
with a letter to our advanced posts, near the Boodle redoubt,
in the front of attack. In this communication 'general Villa-
ret proposed, as the basis of negociation, that the French troops.
should be sent to France free from all restrirtioe as to future
service; but this being inadmissable, the boinh:irdment recom-
meeced at ten at night, and continued, without intermission
until nine o'clock of the 2,lth, when three white floes were
discovered flying in the fortress, in consequence of which, our
fire from the batteries immeaiately ceased. It is with the most
heartfelt satisfaction I have now the honour to report to vi ur
Lordship. for his Majesty's information, that supported by ;he
talents of the General Officers, and in particanr of Lieuterant
General Sir George Prevost, and of Major “eneral Maitione,
the experience and zeal of all the other officers, and the value r
and onreme.ting labour of this army, strengt hotted by the inch -
fatigable exertions of Rear Admiral Sir Alexander • Cochra e
and the squadron, the campaign notwithstanding incessant rah's,
has been brought to a glorious conclusion in th.- short space of
twenty-seven days from our departure from Barbadoes.
The commlnd of such an army will constitute the pride of my
future life. To these brave troops conducted" by Generals of ex
perience, and not to me, their king and country owe the sows
reignty of this important colony and I trust that hy a comps,.
risen of the force which defended it, and the time in which it bre
fallen, the present reduction of Martinique will not be deems d
eclipsed by any former Expedition. I have the honour to is the Articles of Capitulation, as originally produced by the
French Commissioners, in consequence of General
application to me for this purpose, during the forenoon of t 1 e
Nth, and acceded to by Lieutenants-general Sir George Presiete
Major-General Maitland and Commodore Cockburn, appoint• d
by the (tear-Admiral and myself to meet them. This Capitt...
lation, which was mutually ratified the saute night, will, I tills',
be honoured by his approbation. 1 inclose also a return of ti e
French garrison, which it is supposed will be in a state to en
kark in the course of :t few days; front which it will tippet r
that I did not over-rate the original umnbers of the enemy. EV
the next conveyance, I•shall have the honour to submit to yoLs,

ferred to in general terms, and to report the merits of the sewer; 1
