ton, his N'tajesty hes -sustained the loss of an Of-
ficer WII`O his fretitletttly distinguished himself in
-ervice; mill i.e lull, glorithisly ling his di-
visiim to a charge With Bayonets, by which one
of the most setiout atiacit-$ Made by the enemy
on our position, was defeate.l. • The Earl of Ux-
bridge, after having successfully got through this
arduous day, received a wound by aluinit the last
shot fired, which will, I am afraid, deprive his
Majesty for some time of his services.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange dit-
tinguished hiniself by his gallantry and conduct
till he received a wound from a musket bail
through the shoulder, which obliged him to quit
the field.

It gives ine the greatest Satisfaction to assure
your Lordship, that the army never, upon any
occasion, conducted itself better. The division
of Guards, under Lieutenant-General Cooke, who
is severely wounded ; Major-General Maitland
and Major-General Ityng, set an example which
was followed by all ; and there is no Officer, nor
description of troops, that did not behave well.

I must, however, particularly mention, for his
Royal Highness's approbation, Lieut.-General
Sir. H. Clinton, Major-General Adam, Lientc-
nant.-General Charles Baron Alten, severely
wounded ; Major-General Sir Colin Halliet, se-
verely wounded; Col. Ompteda, Col. Mitcbcll,
commanding a brigade of the 4th division ; -Ma-
jor-Generals Sir James Tempt and Sir Denis
Pack, Major-General Lambert, Major-Oeneral
Lord E. Somerset, Major-General Sir W. Pon-
sonby, Major-General Sir C. Grant, and Major-
General Sir H. Vivian ; Major-General Sir 0.
Vandeleur ; Major-General Count Dornberg. I
am also particularly indebted to general Lord Hill
for his assistance and conduct upon this as upon
all former occasions.

The Artillery and Engineer Departments were
conducted much to my satisfaction by Col•Dncl Sir
G. Wood and Colonel Smyth ; and I had every
reason to he satisfied With the conduct of the
Adjntant-General, -Major-General .I;arnes, who
was wounded, ~,m1 of the Quarter-Master-Gene-
ral, Colonel Delaney, who was killed by a can-
non-shot in the middle of the action. This Offi-
cer is a serious loss to his Majesty's service and
to me at. tins moment. I wastlikewise much in-
debted to the assistance of Lieut.-Colonel Lord
Fitzroy Somerset, who Vas severely wounded,
arid of the Officers composing my personal Staff,
who have-suffered severely in this action. Lieut.-
Colonel the Hon. Sir Alexander Gordon, who
has died of his wounds, was a most promising
Officer, and is a serious loss to his Majesty's ser:
vice.

General Kruse, of the Nassau service, likewise
conducted himself much to my satisfaction,. as did
General Trip, coromanding the heavy brigade' of
cavalry, and General Vanhope, commanding a
brigade of infantry of the King of the Nether-
lands.

General Pozzo di I3orgo, General Baron Vin-
cent, General Muffling, and General Alvoa, were
in the field during the action, and rendered inc
every assistance in their power. Baron Vincent
is wounded, but I hope not severely ; and Gene-
ral Pozzo di Borgo received a contusion.

I should not do justice to my feelings or to
Marshal Blucher and the Prussian army, if I dio
not attribute the successful result of this arduous
day, to the cordial and timely assistance I receiv-
ed from them.

The operation of General Bulow, upon the ene-
my's flank, was, a most decisive one 5 and even if
1 had not found myself in a situation to make the
attack, which produced the final result, it would
have forced the enemy to retire, if his attacks
should have failed, and would have prevented him
from taking advantage of them, if they should un-
fortunately have succeeded.

I sent!, with this dispatch, two eagles., taken
by the troops ih this action, which Major Percy
will have the honour of laying, at the feet of his
Royal Highness-.

I beg leave to recommend bim to your Lord•
ship's protection.
I hive the honour, 4c.
