CAPTURE OF THE REDOUBT
DES AUGUSTINS.
The following extract respecting the capture of one
of the redoubts at Toulouse, by the 79th Highlanders,
is from the Note-book of Captain John Ford, which ap-
pears in the last Number of the United Service Journal:—
" When the enemy attempted to recover possession of the
redoubts, I was in the triangle,' a kind of fleche or out-
work of the one we had taken, but separated from the main
part of it by a deep farm road,—and a French regiment
marching up by that road, cut off my retreat, and that of
seven men who were with me, and we immediately sat down
close to the parapet. One of these men who first saw the
enemy advancing on our left, had the presence of mind to cry
out, " Sit down," and If the words had come from a general
officer, they could not have been more promptly obeyed. At
this moment we heard a cheering, and that portion of the
enemy then close to us appeared panic-struck, went to the
right about, and immediately retreated. One French officer
looked at us, and shrugged up his shoulders, (supposing ws
were wounded, and thereby intimating that he was sorry for
us), and a French soldier attempted to pull the epaulettes off
Captain John Cameron's coat, as he lay dead a few yards
from us, but did not succeed ; Captain Cameron commanded
the company I belong to. It was altogether a momentary
business; the cheering came from the 91st, then advancing
to meet the enemy, for Lieutenant Roberton, at the head of
a party of his regiment, immediately entered the work, and
surprised at seeing us there, said, " l'ord, are you wounded ?"
Having been thus released, we joined our regiment where it
had re-formed, having had a narrow escape of being
bayonetted or dragged along as prisoners with the retiring
French army. After the regiment had left France, I heard
many incorrect reports respecting the attack of the two cen-
tral redoubts by the enemy, the time they held possession
of them, &c., &c., and having been by mere accident placed
in a position which enabled me to speak positively on the
subject of one of them, I became naturally anxious at last to
have some confirmation of my statement; and having ascer-
tained that Lieut. Roberton whom I had not heard of for a
period of seventeen years, lived in Edinburgh, I wrote to
him, and received a very satisfactory reply, of which the
following is an extract :
" Edinburgh, 28, Greenside-street, June 21, 1831.
" The circumstances which you mention relative to the
battle of Toulouse, are quite fresh in my memory ; and it will
afford me great pleasure if anything I can say on the subject
prove satisfactory, or avail you in any shape, of which I
hope you will do me the favour to acquaint me.
" enterirg the outwork with some of the 91st men,
and my surprise at finding you there, happened just as you
describe.

" It was the body of Captain John Cameron which lay in
the fleche, 'as marked by you with red ink in. the pen•
sketch you sent me. Lieutenant Duncan Cameron, brother
of Kenneth Cameron, the then adjutant, lay in the opposite
angle ; the latter when I approached was quite dead, while
the other writhed in apparent agony. The body of Captain
Purvis lay in front of the fleche."
