embarrassing; and lam compelled to adopt-the principle of par.
ticularizing those alone on whom thst heaviest share of exertion
happened to devolve on this occasion. It fell to the lot of the ar-
tillery to occupy this conspicuous station in the events of the day:
in behalf, therefore, of Lieutenant-Colonel,Hopkisson, command-
ing the whole, and of Lieutenant-Colonel Pollock, commanding
'Bengal Artillery, and`Ceaptains Lumaden, Bengal Horse Artillery,
and Montgomerie, Madras Artillery, commanding the batteries,
I have to solicit your recommendation to hie Lordship's favours-
able attention. - The rocket practice, under Lieutenantßlike, of
the Bengal Horse Artillery, was in every way admirable : of 304
rockets which were projected during the day, five alone failed of
reaching the spot for which they were destined, and uniformly
told in-the works, or in the ranks of the enemy, with an effect
that has clearly, establllhed their claim to be considered a most
powerful and formidable weapon of war.
The conduct of his Majesty's 13th and 38th Regim!nts during
the advance, and their gallantry iu.the storm, far exceed all that
I can write in their praise. I sincerely hope that I shall not long
be deprivesl'of the services of their two.brave commanders.

Brigadier-General. Cottpu's arrangements for intercepting the
retreat of the enemy, and the movement of Lieutenant-Colonel
Hunter Blair, to effect the same object, merit my warmest com-
mendations.

To Captain Chads, of the Royal navy, and every officer and sea-
man of his Majesty's ships, and the Hon. Company's flotilla, I am
deeply indebted, for the al?lc and 'juditious manner in which the
troops were transported to points of attack, so near to a formidable
Work which they had to assail. I have the hOnotir to inclose
Captain Chad's report, together with his return of killed and
wounded. .

Upon this short but important service I derived every support
from the seal and ability of my Stiff, general and personal.
Lieutenant 'Wilson, of his Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, Aide-
de-Camp to Brigadier-General Cotton, who will have the honour
of deliVering this despatch, was present dUririg the Whole affair,
and is well qualified to give any-further information which may
be required by his Lordship on the subject. I have,
