goon, amid the general grief of all who sarved un
der him or knew him.

We are unwilling to offer any remarks on the
error of judgment which led to this unhappy result,
but it seems evident that the force sent was inade-
quate to perform the duty ; that it was unsupported
by guns, with the exception of the two 3-pounders
from the Phlegethon ; and that, although the na-
tive land force behaved with great steadiness and
gallantry, the brunt of the action was sustained to
an unusual degree by the seamen and. marines.
The detachment of the 67th Regiment had 5 men
killed and 18 wounded in a force of 300 ; the sea-
men and marines had 7 killed and 52 wounded in a
force of 143 men, 60 marines, and 20 officers, in
the action. The force of the enemy amounted, in
fact, to a small army, in a position which could not
be attacked without extreme difficulty; and though
we shall doubtless learn by the next mail that this
check has been avenged, nothing can compensate
for the lives of the officers and men who have fallen
in this service.

The following list of the killed and wounded is
taken from the official dispatches :
