GARDENsTOWN, NOVEMBER 7.
During the whole of Tuefday lalt, we had an ex.
cAve gale here from the northward, and a very
heavy lta confequence. Abrut four P. M. def.
cried a fail in contact with that bold promontory,
called Crcivie Head, about two miles to the eaftward
of this pert. Knowing it impofEble for the veffel to
clear the fhvre, and the extremely critical fituation
of her crew under Inch circumnances, on this rocky
coalt,her motions were watched by a number of fpec.
tators with heart felt anxiety ; when Captains James
Nicoll and Wood, having animated three other lea.
men to join them, determined on the humane, but
hazardous enterprize, of proceeding in a Ming boat
to her affinance. Before this laudable purpofe could
be effected, however, the veffel, which had provider.
tially been conduCted in the very fafeft track, went
aground (the tide half bark) ou the weft fide of the
channel leading to the harbour. Our adventurers
then boarded, and found her to be the Venus of Aber-
deen, Captain Rogers, with a valuable cargo of met-
chant goods, bound for Cramarty. After having
landed the crew, who were very much exhauiled, and ,
one young lady, paffenger, they ceafed not in their I
exertions for the prefervation i,f the property ; till,
by a molt judicious arrangement of ropes from the
veffel, and ttrong purchafes on the Batt IZZnay, aided
by all the active population of the place, they fuc.
ceeded in bringing her fafe into the harbour at high
water—an event which could not have been antici.
paced by the molt fanguine fpeltator, confidering ,
that the liorm had incr.:afed to a complete hurricane,
the fea riling mountains high, and the night unufually 4
dark and awful.

perceived her to be in a dangerous fituation. Seyeren,
another Dana 74, was alfo faved by the fame anti-

THE. OPERATIONS OFT.I
kb, BRITISH ARMY AT BUENOS AYRES.

(Continued from the me of yefterday )

NUMBER VI.

On the 4th day of July, the day preceding the
ill fated form, a plan of the propofed attack ~f
town was traamitted to the officers commanding
corps, a copy of which (hall be given hereaf:er. I
is believed by fume, that this plan was not adopted
without confulting fome officers of experience and
local information ; but from every information I have
been able t coiled, the m Ide of attack was, in every
Telenet, deviled by the Lieutenant General and Ma.
jor General, exclufively. That the plan of affailing
the city was not generally known, or fufficiently un
derftood by the corps of the army immediately em-
ployed, will appear evident from the fequel.
Oa Sunday the sth Jiffy, the troops defined for
the form, aftembled an hour before day break, and
repaired to the verge of the city, in a line with the
advanced pats, that is, on its fouth fide, each corps
and wing being polled oppofite to the ltreet which it
had been ordered to penetrate, refpeetively, in the fol.
lowing manner and difpofition
The troops were direeted t,) penetrate the town at
once, by thirteen (freers, wi,ich were all parallel to
each other, and equidillant about iso yards. The
afiailants tonlifled of the 6th Dragoon Guards, sth,
36th, 38th, 45th, 87th, 88th, 95th Foot, and the
Light Battalion. Except the 6th Dragoon Guards
and the 38th, each regiment. and the light brigade,
were to penetrate the frees by wings, in open column
of feaions. The 45th and light battalion, and 6th
Dragoon Guards, forming right divifion of the
*Giants, were to enter five ftreets on the right of the
city ; and the 88.11, 36th, sth, and 87th, forming the
left, were to penetrate the remaining eight, in the
above order and fu'eceffion. Two fix pounders were
to be brought up, and covered by the 6th Dragoon
Guards ; and the light brigade were to be followed
by two light three pounders. The 3Rth regiment was
defined to attack a very important poll towards the
lea, called El Reoro, or Plaza Jc Toros, which lies
dole to the bank of the riser la Plata. All firing
was firittly prol.
At funrife the fignal for the troops to rufh into the
city was announced by the firing cf the cannon in the
venue, which continued for a few minlitea. Each
corps and column, anxious to be the fir(, immedi-
ately advanced to the fatal attack, agreeably to the
orders and inftruCiions which they had refpettively
received, and with fuch an alacrity and courage
as juttly merited the palm of viCtory.
To defcrit,- frilly all the operations of each indi•
vidual column in the cootie of this day, would lead
into a voluminous detail ; I (hall therefore confine
rnyfelf to a dcfcriptiun of their principal movements
and proceedings, that you may judge cf the fervices
of each r f the corps concerned, and of their tepee.
tive merits: while all, however, were fired with an
equal (hare of courage, zeal, and emulation, they are
equally entitled to the praife of having, in defiance
of every hazard, completely performed and execti.
ted, as far as was praelicable, th 4 fervices and ordus
which had been required of them.

For the fake of regularity, I (hall commence with
the proceedings of the columns o■ the right, and from
thence with thofe of each column, in fuccetlion, to
the ►eft, without at prefent adverting to the order of
the events.

The 45th regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel
GUARD, penetrated by wings the two (treets imme-
diately on the right of the city, the left wing being
under the orders of Major NICHOLLS. The itreets
were all completely deferted, and the utmoft tran-
quillity prevailed there was no oppofition for a
confiderable time after the 45th had entered the
firms, except from a few (hots which were fired,
with Alt efftli, from the crofs dreets. In an open
Part, however, the right wing found itfelf expoled to
the fire of two pieces of cannon, which, on the rapid
appr.'ach of the t. :mpg, the enemy abandoned. Both
the wings a the 45th now fo►uted a junction, and
proceeded along with the cannon which they had
low taken againfl El Rclidencia, a large building,
Ind a pott of great confequence, which the enemy
immediately evacuated.

Having pnfreffed himfelf of this important pc:ill,
Colonel GWARD, with the intention of joining the
right wing of the light battalion under GeneralCaau-
man, advanced to hib left at the head of only the gre-
edier company, leaving the command of Refidcncia
to the next fenior officer.

In the mean time, the enemy rallied in great
lumbers, and made feveral impetuous attempts to
retake the place, in every one of which they failed,
swing to the determined fit mnefs of the 45th regi-
taent, under Major Ikbow:As, who repulfed the ene•
say with confidenble lofs, in every attempt, and
retained poireffion of Refidencia until it was ordered
to be delivered up, purfuaut to the terms of the con-
vent ion.

During the time that the enemy were making on-
foteefsful efforts to retake this pat, Colonel GUARD
111 his progrefs to join General CRAuruaD, was much
pilled by the fire of the enemy from the houfe tops,
and alto by that of the field piece which was brought
tip againli him : the grenadiers, however, under Cap-
tain PAYNR, gallantly flormed and took poffeffion of
the gun, but not without great lots, Captain PAYNR
lsimfclf being defperately wounded. He now fuc-

needed in joining the Light Battalion tridcr General
jitaurutto, and unfortunately (hared its fat. At we
titan loon have occalion to mention.

The light battalion, and 95th Regiment, entered
t,y wings the two next Orem in facceffion, to the left
•,f thole which had been penetrated by the 45th. The
right wing, commanded by General Ciao F URD, fent
,n in advance a forlorn hope, confining fa Lietre.
halt and twenty men, about too yards in front, and
they alfo brought on a fieldpiece. The forlorn hope
had advanced for a quarter of a mile ..,•ithout oppo•
fition, when all of a fudden they were afFailed by
musketry from a honk at one corner of the fireet,
which difibled the greater number of the patty.—
The wing coming up immediately after, were alto
expcfed to heavy fi, e from the houfe tops, by which
many were killed and wounded. This column, in
patting a crofs Rrect, were alfo fired on from a gun
planted at the dißance of tsc3 yards. The fire ofl
the enemy was now likely to because more and morel
dare hive ; and, notwithaanding the pofitive orders
they had received to the contrary, the General found
it indifpenfably neceffary to return the fire upon the
enemy, to prevent the facrifice of the column. They
had now reached the church of St. Domingo, which
they had been ordered to occupy. The doors were
forced with cannon, and the troops took peffeflion,,
polling themfelves aU round the outer and upper
parts of the building. The colours of the 71(1 regi.
ment, which were found triumphantly fufpended in
the great arch fronting the communion, were in.
Randy taken down, and difplayed on the outside of
the dome. The fire of the riflemen from the church
proved fatal to many of the enemy, who covered
the tops of all the houfes in the neighbourhood, and
were alfo very numerous in the fitters. About this
time a Spanifh Officer, with a view, it is firopnfed, to
gain time, or to allow the Spaniards ,(s obtain a
nearer pofition, came forward with a flag of truce,
and offered terms of capitulation, nn a refulal of
which he Rated, that live, al pieces of heavy cannon
would be immediately opened on the church, with I
the avowed intention of levetlir.g it to the ground.
As might be fopr ',red, the terms were rejeCted
Daring this parley, the enemy pref Ted forward in the'
fireet in vad numbers, and one of them form after.
wards attempted to extinguilh the match of the gun
which was planted at the outer porch of the church ;1
this being perceived by one of our artillerymen, he,
with a :I-A. ',latch that he had in referee, difcharged
the gun, which, being loaded with grape, deftroyed
many of the enemy, and difperfed the remainder
the fireet. A little before this period, the fer vice was 'I
deprived rf an Officer who, at his age, in bravery,',
aaivity, zeal, and military talent, was perhaps never
furpalfcd in the British service. This was Major
TROTTER, of the 83d Regiment, acing with the
light battalion, who, in reconnoitring the movements
of the enemy, was unfortunately killed at the corner
of the church by the enemy's riflemen on the houfes.
The enemy now brought forward cannon againa the
church, and.opened a heavy fire nn the dome and
turret. After holdiag poffeflion of the church till
noon, without any profpea of relief or fupport, and
the cannonade at the church threatening them with
defiruClion, General CRAUFURD was compelled to
furrender at difcretion.

The left wing of the brigade alto, preceded by a
forlorn hope,and led on by Lieutenant Colonel PACK,
fuffered very feve:ely after they had advanced about
300 or 400 yards. The people ferving the gun were
killed. The column pulhed on, however, and took
potreflinn of a large houre, tram whence the riflemen
annoyed the enemy confiderably. Colonel PACK
being anxious to atcertain the pofition of the right
wing, and to communicate and receive farther in-
flrtglion4, without apprehending the danger t. which
he might be expofed, advanced alone through the
Ilreets that led to the church, which he fortunately
reached, but not without receiving a wound, the
enemy having rcpeately fired at him on his way.—
Colonel PACK being prevented from rejnyning the left
tying, in confequence of the heavy firing in the
ltreets, the command of this wing devolved on Lieu-
tenant Colonel CADUGAN, who took every prudent
advaneage of the enemy, and after finding every
prolpe6l of relief cut off, and having loft many of
his men, was under the neceffary of capitulating I
and this wing delivered themfelver up to the enemy
a fhort time before the forrender of the right wing
under Ceneral CRAUFUILD.

The 6th Dragoon Guards, or Carabineers, led on
by Lieutenant Colonel KINGTON, advanced with two
fix pounders, as we have already hated, immediately
from the fireet on the right of I Myirere de Mata-
dere, that is, on the left of the left column of the light
brigade. After penetrating for a confiderable dif-
tance, they were expofed to a heavy fire from
the houle-tops ; they Hill, however, continued to
advance, until the fire of the enemy became fo very
dellruftive, that it was found neceffary for them to
retreat, which they effeeed with revere lofs. On this
oceafion Captain Bottum'. was killed; and Lieute-
nant Colonel Kuscrot, being mortally wounded,
fell into the hands of the enemy.--(To k continued. )
