deep erase of obligation which he feels himself under to Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Scutt, better than in recording and holding
up to the Division tinder his command, his admiration and
applause of such distinguished conduct, which must ever
command success when attainable, and which inspired the
breasts of his brave associates of the assault with a spirit
and animation that was irresistihle. Lieutenant Colonel
Adams has already expressed the high set4faction be
derived from the honourable offers of Lientewant-Colunel
Scott's services; and he could not hut •iew with admira-
tion the debovehe of the right and left columns (ram the
village, their steady but spirited advance to the breach,
and courageous gallantry with which they ascended, and
the judicious dispositions of Cie I columns which
so rapidly and happily accomplished the snecessful result

high satisfaction Lientenant.Colonel Scott's report of the
ab!e and gallant manner in which the right and left columns
