fell elf Quarter-Master Ebden, of the Levies, be for-
gotten.
4. Colonel Mackinnon forwards with his report one
from Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, describing a very spirited
affair with the enemy on Committee's hill—as well
planned by the commander and executed by the troops.
The combination of infantry and cavalry was well di-
rected, and whenever these combinations are duly ob-
served success is the result. Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre
has been most conspicuous in this Kafir war, and never
did his personal gallantry, and that of his bold 73d
Regiment, shine with greater lustre than on this occa-
sion, and to which Major Armstrong (his officers and
soldiers), in command of the Cape Mounted Rifles, and
a detachment of his " Horse," most nobly contributed.
5. In all operations, the good fortune of some part of
the troops, by being more prominently engaged, renders
them tho more conspicuous; but this does not detract
from the merits of all their gallant comrades, who rejoice
at success redounding to their own honour, and hope
that in the next fight theirs may be the most conspicuous
part of a glorious field.
6. The Commander-in-Chief desires to compliment
Colonel Mackinnon for the perseverance displayed in all
his operations, and on their success, aided as he has so
nobly been by Lieutenant• Colonel Michel, Lieutenaut-
Colonel Eyre, Lieutenant-Colonel Burns, and those off•
cars (especially noticed by him and by Lieutenant-Colonel
Eyre in his report. The conduct of the troops has well
maintained the character of British soldiers, and the
loss sustained by the 2d Queen's Royal Regiment stands
prominent on the regimental records of the former
achievements of this gallant corps.
7. Colonel Mackinnon expresses his thanks to Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Michel, commanding 6th Regiment;
Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, commanding 73d Regiment;
Lieutenant-Colonel Burns, commanding the Queen's
Regiment; Lieutenant Harris, commanding the Royal
Marines; Major Armstrong, commanding the Mounted
Levy; Captain Campbell, commanding detachment of
the Cape Corps ; Captain Catty and Commandant
Davies, commanding the Levies; and also to Major Ro-
binson, of the Queen's, and Major Pinckney, 73d Regi
ment, commanding detached parties of their Regiments;
and to Captain Faunce, Brigade Major, and Lieutenant
Whitmore, Cape Mounted Rifles, acting as aides-de-
camp. The services of Major Wilmot, Royal Artillery,
Lieutenant Pasley, Royal Artillery, acting as staff
officers, and of the officers of the medical department,
are also brought to the notice of the Commander-in-
Chief, and his Excellency desires to express his appro-
bation of the services and exertions of all these officers,
as well as cf th se of every officer and soldier under
their command.
