• This was the last feeble struggle of the Enemy,
'who now, astonished and dismayed by the intrepi-
dity with which they were assailed, began precipi-
tately to retire, leating the field covered with car-.
nage. About seven hundred bodies of. their dead
have been buried upon the ground. The wounded
and Prisoners
.already in our hands (among which
are General Compere,, and an Aid-de-Camp, the
Lieutenant-Colonel of the SwiSs Regiment, and a
:long list of Officers of different ranks) amount
to above one thousand. There are also, above one
thousand men left in. Montelone and the different
posts between this and Reggio, who have mostly,
notified their readiness to surrender whenever a
British Force shall be sent to receive their submis-
sion, and to protedt them from the fury*
people.—The peasantry are hourly bringing, n fugi-
tives, who dispersed in the woods and mountains
after the battle; in short, never has the pride of our
presumptuous Enemy been more severely huMbled,
nor the superiority of. the British Troops more glO4
riously, proved than in the events of this memorable
day. . .

His Majesty may, perhaps, still deign to appre-
ciate more highly the achievements of this little
Army, when it is .known that the second
which the Enemy were said to be expe6ting had all
joined them the night before the a6tion ; no state...-
rnent that I have heard of their numbers places them
at a less calculation than MO men.
~Our viaorious Infantry continued the pursuit of
the routed Enemy so long as they.were able ; but as'
the latter dispersed in every direction, and we were
under the necessity of preserving our order, the
trial of speed betame unequal.
The'total loss occasioned to the Enemy by this
Coal& cannot be. less' than Four Thousand. Men.—
When I oppose to the above our own small compa-
rative loss, as underneath detailed,. His Majesty-will,
I hope, diicern in the fact, • the happy effeas of that
established DisCipline to which we owe the Triumphs.
by which our Army has been.lattorly so
.highly
tinguislied. " .

I am now beginning my march Southward pre-,
paratory to my return to Sicily,, for which station I
shall re-embark with the Army as soon as His Si-
cilian Majesty shall have arranged a disposition 'of
his own forces to secure those advantages which
have been gained by the present Expedition.
• ,There seldom. has happened an Anion in which
the teal aid personal" exertions of individuals were
so imperiously called for as in the present; seldom
an occasion where a General had a fairer opportunity
of observing them.
The General Officers, and,those who commanded
Regiments, will -feel a stronger test of, their.merits
in the circtimstances that have beemdetailed of their
condu6t, than In any eulogium I could presume to

pass upon them.
The 58th and Watteville's Regiment, commanded
by Lieutenant Colonels Johnston and Watteville,
which formed the Reserve, under Colonel Oswald,
were ably direeted in their application to that essen-

tial duty.
The judgitent and effea with which bur Artil-
lery was ctire&ed by Major Lemoine, was, in our
dearth of Cavalry, ofsmost essential use ; arid I have
a pleasure in reporting the elleolive :services of that
valuable and distinguished Corps.
, To the several departments of the Army, every,
acknowledgment is due;
,but to no Officer am I
bound to express them so fully, on my part, as to.
Liedtenant-Colorei Banbury, the Deputy Quarter-,
Master-General, to whose zeal and a&ivity, and
able arrangements in the important branch of ser-
vice which he direas, the Army:as well as miself,
are under every marked obligation.
From 'Captain Tomlin, the thing Head of the
o,Adjutant-General's Department, and from the Of.
ficers of my own family, I have received much
_at ive assistance. Among the latter lam to men-
tion Lieutenant-Colonel Moore, of the 23d Light
Dragoons, who being in Sicily for his health at the
time of our departure, solicited permission to accom
pany me in this Expedition ; he was wounded in trie
execution. of my orders.
:From the Medical 'Department, under the direc-
tion iof Mr.. Grieves, the Deputy-Inspe&or, I am to
acknowledge much professional attention; the more
-so as their labours have been greatly accumulated by
the number of I.vounded Prisoners, who have become
equally with our own, the subjeEt of their care.
The scene of Action was too far from the Sea to.
enable us to derive any direta co-operation from the
Navy : but Admiral Sir Sidney Smith, who had ar-

WE hive received several Letters by the Leeward
Island Mail, which we are, for want of room, obliged
to omit : they contain an account of the capture of
Montserrat by Admiral GUItLEAUSIEZ'S Squadron.
The objeEt, however, appears to be only to raise a
Contribution, and it is not probable that the French
would attempt, to retain the Island.

Yesterday we received. Nell', .York Papers to the

stated has transpired in America respeGing General

in these Papers of 'the fever having broken out in
any part of. America. Letters received yesterday
of the Bth ult. froM New York, on the contrary,
state, that the Americans congratulate themselves
on the ptospe& of escaping this annual calamity.

below : but whether she leaped out to avoid the'
blows, or was thrown out by the others, we could,
not learn., Her skull was. fraftured, and also some •
•of her limbs; and in this state she was carried to the,
West minster Infirmary, where she remains with little
hopes of recovery.. The two women and the man
