ter-General of the army, 1 it alsO particularly
incumbent upon me to express my best thanks for
the great aid I..have received from tiot only
through his personal exertions on
battle, but. for the judicious reconnoissances made
by him Jiuting our•mlitrch, arid \before we-vire/aged:\
by which I obtained the clearest information re-
specting the ford at which I subsequently crossed
the Soopra, and the nature of the ground occu-
pied by the enemy, by which 1 was -enabled to
make my dispositions for attacking them.
To Lieutenant-Colonel Mot ison,Cominissary-
G,neral, I awtalsoin a similar manner to acknow-
ledge the high sense I entertain of his merits, in
constricting the important department' of which he
is, with so much advantage to the public sevyiee,
placed at the head; as also of his assistance to me
during the action. I feel myself likewise called
noon to offer my sincerest thanks to Major Van-
Agnew, who, by your Lordship% perniission, con.
swore, for the present, under Sir Jobb Malcolm,
to act in the political depart Went, and who remain-
ed with toe throughout the day, rendering inc the
greatest assistance.

tenant-Colonel the lion. L. Stanhope, D'eputy-
Adjutant, and Deputy Quirter-Master General to

at, any time, of our coming to action, as the very
limited number of the King's.troops immediately
with me, required no performance on such an oc-
casion of their official functions; I have therefore
in a patticular mannet to thank them tor their
cheertuVacquiescepce to my request, a; well as for
the services they rendered me in the course of the
day. Lieutenant-Colonel Murray accompanied,
