" In the event of a landing being determined upor.
in Mundego Bay, a signal was made to Capt. MA:I-
- which will be settled, at which time. it wOl
be proper to moor the Horse Ships, and the ships
having the Ordnance on board in the River. ThO
Infantry' will then be landed from the Transports in
the boats, and be rowed into the River, and landed,
on the Solidi Bank of it. GeneraLFANes Brigade

on board; General FERGUSOWS next, 'and Gen,eral

WELLESLEY, Whose cha'aCter for intrepidity an 3.
spirit will well permit such fcirbearanLe, had resolved,
on learning that Sir list UHT lIVItRARD -was destined
to join him, to tto nothing more than avail himself,
in the mean time, of 'all lair opportunities, 'risking
no imprOper sacrifice of his troops for the sake of
achieving the' exploit himself. It Sir Arthur has
been joined by General ANSTRUTHER, which alai
