Brigadier-General Lumlex, moving in the appointed,
order, were Saari opposed by a hea:/y acid continued;
fire of musketry from the ,topS and windows ofl
the houses ; the doors of which were barticadeeil iri
so strong a manner 'as to render them almost km
possible to foree. The streets -were intersected by •
deep ditches, in the insile of which were planted
cannon, pciaring shoWers of grape on the advancing
Columns. In defiance, liciwever, of this opposition,
-the 36th regiment, headed by the gallant General,
reached its final destination ; but the 88th being
nearer to :he Fort-.and- principal defences of the
Enemy, w'ere so 'weakened by his fife as to be.
totally overpowered and taken. The flank of the
-36th' being thus expased, this regiment, together
with theeth, retired: upon Sir Samuel Anchmoty's
Post et the Plaza de Toros ; not, however,. •before
Lieutenant-Colonel Burne, and the grenaclior com-
pany of the 36th regiment had an 'Opportunity of
distinguishing themselves,: by charging, about eight

fire ; the.. four tronps of. the carabincers, led on
by Li tt .-Celonel Kingston; advanced to take the'
opposoil to th(stn, but this gallant Officer be-
ing unf)rintiately wounded, as well as Capt. Bur-
rell, next in command, and the fire both from the
..ba4.-:.y and howei proving very destructive, • they
• retreated to a short distance, but cdbtinued to oc-
cupy.a- position in front of the enemy's principal
defencv, and considerably in advance of that, which

din isiort .comnianded 'by; Brigadier-General Cranthrd
himself. This division having passed quite through
to the'lliver Plata, turned also to' the• left to ail—
proaelkiftegrdent square and fort from .the, north-cast
bastien,:of which it, was distant about 400 yards,
when Thigadier-General Crauftirdileaving, the fate

and jUined Brigadier General Crauftird.

ativinpting' to take a three-pounder which
lay in the street, the I...ienc-Colonel with his coin-
, rity, and a few light intinitry under Major. Trotter,
charged then) with great spirit.,' In an instant the
greater part-of his cormiany and Major Trotter (an
lacer of greet merit) were killed, but the gun was
saved. The,- Brigadier-Get-lewd Was now Obliged to
confine himself to the defence of the convent, from
which the rifletrien kepi Up a well directed fire upon
such Of the enemy as approeched the post ; but the
quantity of round shot, grape, and musketry, ito
which they were'exposed, at last obliged them to
quit the top of the building, and the enemy, to the
number of 6000, bringing tip cannon to force the
wooden gates which fronted the' fort; t he'Brigadier-
General having no cimmunitiatioirwith any other
columns, and Judging 'from the cessation of firing
that those next lihu' had riot been successful, sur-
endered at lotir 'o'clock in the'afternooti.
The result of this'iley's anion had left 'Ma in pos-
session, of time Plaza de Toros, a strong post on the
enemy's right, 'and- the. Be icietidia, another strong
post on his left, whilst I occupied an advanced pa,-
salon opposite his centre ; burthese advantages had
cost about 2500 metf in killed, wounded, and pri-
soners. The atpre.of the fire to which' the troops
were exposed was violent in' the extreme. Grape
shot at the corner's of all the streets, musketry,
hand-grenades, bride, and stones front the tops of
all 'the hOuses, every householder- with his • negroes
defended his dwelling, each of which was in itself a
fortress, and it is not; perhaps,- too, much to say,
that the v ale male population 'of •Bitenos Ayr4,,S
was cm p 1 is a in its defence..
`Etti3 s' d 6 the situation of the ArMy on. the morn-
ing in the 6th inst; when 'Gen. Liniers addressed a
lore( to me, 'offering to give up all his prisbners iu
tht: late affair, together with the 7 tst Regiment and
others talienseith Lient.-General lierestOrd,' it I de,

Of the populace, be could not answer 'for the safety
ef the prisouert if I persisted in'oft.insive measures.
Influenced by this consideration (which t knew train
better authotity to be Wunder' in fa/it), and refieating
of how little a- anti would be theposesSion of a
country the inhabitants of Which were so absolutely
hodile, re,,olved to forego the advanteges which
the bravery. of the Treep* had obtained, and acceded
to. the aneexed Treaty, which I trust will meet the
.approbation of his Majesty.
• I have, nothing forther to add,,except to mention,
in terms-Of the highest proise, the cendud of7Rear-
Admiral Murray,: erhwi cordial co-operation -has
neverbeerrwanttng whenever the Army could ve be-

As his eharaaer already stands-so high it is almost

on the mornincr-Of the6th inst. being pressed .by the
enemy, near the Ilesideneia, charged thqm with great
spirit, and took two howitzers intl many prisoners.

The Officers of my personal Staff, Lieut.-Colonel
Torrens, Military Secretary, Captains Brawn, Foster,

So, . Caqal of .2117.serala, Atli 3, 1807.
I have the honour to report to you, for' the in•
formiition of the Lientenant.General Whitelocke,
that the advithced Coro,under my command; corr..'
sisting of three Companies of the 95th Light Batta-:
36th and 88th Regiments, with tWo three and
two ,six-pontiderS, advanced from the position I,had
taken up in front of the,Village of Reduaion, and
after Making a considerable detour from the bad-,
ness of the roads, I crossed the Chuelo at the Chico
Pais, froM &two I 'continued my Route, thitugh
very strongly inclosed and difficult ground, till the
head of the column arrived at the junaion of two'
roads,' about five hunared yards from the Canal of
IN,Sibal,raLt_.. At the w4tuit moment that we discovered
the Enemy, they commenced a beavr;tbougt., after
the first round, not well direaed fire of shot and
shells. My artillery having been left in the rear, un-
der the protediou of three Companies of Brigadier-
General Lumley's Brigade, owing to the inability of
the horses to bring it up. orate same rate at w!iitch
the infantyy marched, I dire6ted an immediate at-
tack to be:tnade'on their left flank with the.bayOnet,
which was etteepted by' Brigadier-General Crauford
in the most perfeti manner with his brigade; and he
was so well seconded by the gallantryaof Lieut6l4-
Colonel Pack, .and Major Travers,, the Officeva And.
men of the 95th, and Light Battalion, .that iu, tiv
minutes the EnemY's force, though strongly posti>d
behind hedges and embankments, gate way, leav-
ing about sixty killed, and seventy prisoners,' with
all their artillery, consisting of nine guns, one how,.
itzer, and three tumbrils with limbers complete. •

• I beg-to state.. that the conduit of eviryOtfiger
and Soldier engaged was afimirable ; and that I aril
also under great obligations to , Brigadier-Geneial
Lumley for his exertions to take- a 'share in the
action, but which alone the very exhausted state of
his regiments, from the severity of the march, pre-.
vented. Immediately after I formed, I found that
be had taken a good position on the slight Of ihe
light brigade, to support it in case'of re-attack. r:(
I am happy to add our-loss has been but, tritlitjg,,
not exceeding fourteen rank and file killer,' Wig
Officers, and twenty-five rank and tile Woundetli..
