The approach on this, side to Baltimore.' lays
through a small peninsula formed by the P;rap..co
and Back River, and generally from two to, three
miles broad, while it narrows in.some places to less
than half a mile.
Three miles from North Point the enemy had en-
trenched himself .quite across this neck of land, to-
wards which (the disembarkation having been corn•
plated at an early hour) the troops advanced. .
The enemy was actively employi.d in the comple-
tion of this work, deepening the ditch, a.id strengthen-
ing its front by a low abbatis, both which, hyvever,
he precipitately abandoned on the approach of our
skirmishers, leaying in our hands•some few dragoons,
being part of his rear-guard.
About two miles beyond this post our advance
`became engaged; the° country was here clocvly
wooded, and the enemy's, riflemen were enabled to
conceal themselves. At,:this moment the gallant
General Ross received- aiwound in his breast, which
proved mortal. He only survived to recommend a
young and unprovided timily to the protection of his
King and country. •
Thus fell, at an early age, one of the brightest or-
naments.ni his profession, one who whether at the
head of a reginieto, a brigade, or corps, had alike
displayed. the talents of command, who was not less'
beloved in his private, than enthusiastically admired
in his public character, and wh..se only fault, if it
may b., deemed so, was an excess of gallantry, enter-
price, and .devotion to the sa:reice.
If ever it were permitted- to a soldier, to lament
those who fall in battle,. we may indeed, iu this in-.
stance, claim that melancholy privilege.
' Thus iiG is, that the honchgr of addressing your
Lordship, and the cOmmasaclAT.this army have de-
volved upon me ; duties which, under uny other
circumstances, might have been sonbraceil its the
most enviable gifts of fortune;. and hire 1 venture
to solicit, through your Lordship, hi;Roy.:l D
R igh-
ness the Prince egent's considetatioa to the:circuit!.
stances of my succeeding, during operations of so
much moment, to an officer of such high and esti-
blished merit.

. .
Our advancetontinuing to press forward, ene-
my's•light troops .were pushed to vri•liiLi dvt niiles of
Baltimore, whert'a corps of about six thou ian)
six pieces of artillery, and some hundred cavalry,
were discovered posted nader.co tier ut
.a wood, drawn
up in a very dense order, and lining a strong paling,
which crossed the main road •neasly at right angles.
—The•creeks and inlets of the Pa;arseo, and Back
Rivers, which approacli each rithes at this poisii„ will
in some measure account for Alie contracted uaiu e of
the enemy's position. .• • . •
i immediately ordered the necelsary
fir a:general attack. The light brigade,.

main body. The 4tlh renirnimr, under fvl;ijor Fauoce,
~by a detivr through souse holirw ways, gained, un-
:itrceived, a luttginent close upon Alie enemy's left.—,
•Thisettiaioder of the right triode, under the com-
mand of .the 1-lon. Lieutenant-Colonel Mollies,• con-
sisting of the 44th regimiint under. Major „Johnson, the
.Marines of the. fleet under Captain Robbins, and a
detachment of seamen wider Captain. Moneyy of, the
'Fruit., formed line along the enemy's front, while
the left brigade under ColiMel Paterson, consisting of
the 2i st regiment, commanded hy, Major Whitaker,
the 2tl I:halation marines by Li( utenan,,Colunel
colm, and a detachment of marines by Majrir Lewis,
remained in columns on the road, with-orders to de-
ploy to his left, and press theenenly.'ti right, the mo:
nietit the ground became sufficiently open to admit
o. tli3t movement.

In this order, the signal being given, the 'whole of
the troops advanced, rapidly to the charge. In less
than fifteen minutes, the enemy's force tieing utterly-
broken and dispersed, tlecrin every direction over
the country, leaving on the field two pieces of can.
non. with a co►►siderable number of killed, wounded,
and prisoners. .

The day berg now far advanced, and the troops
(as is always the case on the first march atter dis-
embarkation) mnch fatigue:l, we haled for the night
on the ground of which the enemy had been dispos-
sessed. Here I received a communication. futon Vice
Admiral the Hen. Sir Ale:undo. Cochrane{ intorm.
in% me that the friirateq, .bomb ships, and flotilla of
fleet, would on the ensuing morning take their
stations as preiinusly pmpoeed.
At day-break on the 13th, the artily again advents:
mil, and at ten o'clvck I occupitde favourable position

Iltakitiore is, completely surrounded by strong but I
detached bills, on which the enemy had constructed
a chain of pallisaded redoubts, connected by a snialr
breast-work ; I have, however, reason toehink that
the defence to the northward and westward of the
place, were in a very unfinished state.
Chinkapin which lay in front of our position,
completely commands the town ; this was the strong-
est part of line, and here the enemy seemed most
apprehensive. of attack. These works were defended,
according to the best information which .we could
f:btain; by about fifteen thousand men, with a large
train cf at tiliery.
Juking it perfectly feasible, veith the description
of foices under my cpmmand, I made arrangements
lor a night attack, during which the stipeliority of
the enemy's artillery svouidwot havc,beeta so much
felt, and Captain McDougall, the beater of these clis-
peidies, will have the honour to point Put to your
lan:deli)) those particular points of the line which I
had proposed to act CI. . .
Doting the evening, however, I received a cum-
nnivicetion from the Commenderiin-Chief of the
navel forces, by which I was informed, diet in con-
sequence of the entrance to the harbour beiag closed
• up by vesAs sunk fn. that purpose oey the en: my, a
naval vo-operatien against the town and camp was
feed. impracticable.
• Iloder these circumstances, and keeping in view
your Lordship's instructions, .it was agreed between
the Vice-Admiral entl myself, that the capture of the
town would not have been a sufficient equivalent to
the loss which might probably be sustained in st
ing the heights.
Having formed this resolution, after compelling
the enemy to sink upwards c f twenty vessels in diffe-
rent parts of the harlso.ur, causing the citizens to re-
move almost the.whole of their property to places of
m re secur;ty inland, obliging the governinent to
concentrate all the military force of the surrounding
states, harassing the militia, and forcing them to col-
lect from any remote districts, causing the enemy to
burn a valueble rope-walk, with other public build-
ings, in order to dear the glachs in front of their re-
doubts, besides having beaten and roused them-in a
Kemal action, I -retired on the 144.1 f, three miles from
the pnsition which I had occupied, where I halted
during tome hours. .
Ts,is tardy movement was partly caused by an ex-
liectatiten that the enemy might possibly be induced
;to move out of the entrenchments and follow us, but
'he profited by_ the lesson whiCh he had received on
the 12th, and towards the evening I retired the troops
'about three mil, s and a half further, where I took up
my gotised for the night.
Heviag asceecnined, at a late hour on the morning
•of the lath, tbat the enemy had no disposition to quit
Itis entrenchments, I moved down and re-embarked
