iby the obvpolls and the field-pieces flanking each
tunny, and was maintained with the greatell firm-
'nets and vigour on both fides. ' The aftion then
becalm general, and a moil formidable difcharge,
Of artillery and mdfnuetry continued until the fire,
iof the Enemy was greatly abated. The centre of
the Englifil then defifted from thing, - while the'
flank Companies eottinued the attack with great
efFed. The- enemy, percriiing the centre of the
Englifit had defiftedfiring, difeharged again
sppan theist with reanimated energy, until General
Warramics a ordered the whole line to advance,
which being effeded with great idertnefs and regu-
larity, a general and elate fire commenced from the
English line, which greatly ditiomfited the enemy..
At this moment the out-polls of the left wing of
the Englith attacked moo vigorouflyt three field-
piece:, -coveting, on the brow of the hill, the right
wing of the enemy. They-were, however, re-
rd bythe oppofitt.ont.polts, fupported by the
ortfdown Cavalry, led on by Colonel Hoot, with
i
the greateft.fpirit and vigour, who would certainly
hive en off the Englifh oat-pots, had dot Colonel
Svtwaer, with the 16th Light Dragoons, timely
arrived, and made a Mott grand and effeßive
charge up the hill to defend them, and to affift in
taking the cannon. Here the conflift was main-
tained, on both fides, with great firtnnefs, energy,
and refolution, when the Portfdown Cavalry, led
by Colonel Hoots, charged molt gallantly up the
bill to meetsthem ; where they were attacked
the ifith Light Dragoons, who attempted to take
their colours, Which they defended and preferved
with as much fpirit and gallantry as if they had
been in real adion ) bat, after a very vigotots re.
(Mance, they were obliged to furrender to the 16th
Light Dragoons and Bere Foreft Rangers, by
whom they were completely, fuKrolinded. The
Englifh had this fuicefs followed by the French
estrrating through the village, and, being puttied,
'were obliged to tbrrender at diferetion, which
clofed, in a moll brilliant manner, this grand mi- '
litary fpedacle.
During .the (cox of maim the whole of the
troops difplayed all that order of difcipline, alert-
nets of anion, precifion of manoeuvre, and vigour
of attack, that would render them moftieffedi ire
in repelling any Enemy that might attempt an
invafion. The Commander in Chief, and all the
Officers, particularly diftinguithed themfelver in
their refpetive commands, and in completely exe-
cuting all that was committed to their charge.
Although the morning was lowering, yet a pro.
digious concourfe of fpedators were on the hill,
and teemed moll highly delighted with the beauti-
ful and iinpreffive appearance the troops varionfly
made in all their different arrangements, evolu-
tions, and modes of attack and defence. In a word,
fuch were the local advantages of the hill for view.
ing a feene of the kind, that it was, perhaps, the
grandeft and molt interesting that was over teen in
the kingdom.
