fhore of the lake, it was neceff.iry, is fome tneafure,
to retrace our Reps, and to look too them nearer to
'EI Hamet. This could be effeaed by gaining fome
fend hills, which were.about a mile on our left. Our
march was accordingly direaed towards them, the
light infantry now leading the front of the fquare,
advanced with iitivity, and the enemy who occupied
them, difperfed in all direa;ons. From thofe hills,
which completely command 4 view of the plain
and Harnet,pofition, the enemy 'were feen to be in
pcfreffion •of the latter, and not any appearance cf
:our detachment in the former. It was apparent they
had either effeaed a feparate retreat' to Edko, or
been completely defeated ; in either cafe It was ad-
' vifable, under all circumaancet, that the armyfhould
continue its original retreat. This was rehashed in
the fame good order as before ' • the left being flank-

killed and wounded, and none, were captured.. The

rived in the afternoon without oppofition. On the
fircceeding day the troops embarked for Aboukit's
Wells; the caravalifera was blown up under the di-
ration of Captain Hallowell. No certain intelligence
has reached me refpeaing the fate of the detachment
under Lieutenant-Colonel M,Leod. General report
confit ms their defeat in the forenoon of the 219, and
Oates many of them to be prifoners. On this I will
make no comment. Every Rep which a fenfe of duty
could dilate was taken, in older to fecure the poll of
Hamet; and it will, 1 fincerely trail, appear to you
that none which prudence could tuggell were omit-
ted, in order that a junaion fhould be formed with
the detachment. That our unfortunate comrades
did their duty mutt not be doubted, that all was lott,
(aye honour, when they furrendered, mull alto not be
doub:ed.

Wherever naval aniflance has been required, it has
been given, under the able foperintendance of Capt.
Hallowell, with a zeal fo peculiar to our naval °pc- 1

tenant Colonel Pack, at Colonia, informing me
that the enemy, a thoufand firong, had made an at-
tempt on his poi}, at one o'clock in the morning of
the zzd infiant. The attack commenced on an ad-
vanced guard, and immediately after on the line's.—
The troops on dutr fupported The poll, until the
corps got under arms, which they did with great
alacrity, and inflantly repelled the affailants, and
purfued them to the village of Real, about 011ie Tiles
from the town. At day light no enemy was to be.
feen for many miles.
We had not a man killed in this affalr:• Major

wounded in the body. and Captain Willgrefs has the
bone of his arm (battered. The enemy's lois is un-
known. Eight killed, and as many wounded, were
left on the field.
As Colonel Pack reports that his works are in. a

My Lord—Yetterday evening perceiving fpme
veffels coming round Cape Trafalgar, with an in
tention, as I fuppofed, to pafs under cover of the
night, I determined. on fending the boats in more,
to endeavour to cut them off; I therefore or-
dered the Morgiana, which joined me a li:tle before,
to fend her boats, in conjunftion with the cutter and
jolly boat of the Scout.
The boats being manned with volunteers from the
brigs, the two boats of the Morgiana under the di-
ration of Lieutenant Sutherland, and thole of the
• Scout wider the dire9ion of Lieutenant Batted's'',
with orders to keep together as much es poffible for

Writh and carried, under a heavy ire, the San Fran-

fervice at Gibraltar.
I have to lament, in performing this fervice, the
lof, of one man killed, and one Sightly wounded,
belonging to the Scout ; although the lots is great,
