first they lost about 40 men, who wire shot with
our pieces touching their breasts. We lost only
,two men of the Legion of the South. But the gar-
rison tried a third sortie to carry of -tire same
sheaves of wheat : it did not succeed better than
'the preceding attempts.- We took from them otie
piece of cannon, and killed a few of their men.
The objed, of all these sorties seems to indicate
that it is not so well supplied with provisions as
with artillery.
