OFFICIAL BULLETIN:

IVAR DEPARTIMINT; MARCH 8.
'et emit*ln WYiLEY arrived this morning with dis-
patches from Major-General LAilitltT, detailing ope-
rations against the etieritt 'in the neighbourhood of
New Orleans. It appears that the army, under the
command et Major-General Keiux, was landed at
the head of the Bayale, in the vicinity of New Or•
on the morning of the 23d December, without
apposition : it was, however, attacked by the ene-
low in the course of the night succeeding the land-
ukg, when, after an obstinate contest, the enemy
were repulsed at all points with considerable loss.
44 On the morning of the 25th, Sir E. PAIMIL
#AM arrived, and assumed the command of the army.

a On the 27th, at day-light, the troops moved for-
ward, driving the enemy's picquets, when the main
body of the enemy was discovered strongly posted
behind a breast work extending about a thousand
yards, with the right resting on the Mississippi, and
the left on a thick wood.

.1 The interval between the 27th December and
Bth January, was employed in preparation fOr an at-
tack on the enemy's position. The attack that was
intended to be made on the night of the 7th did not,
owing to the difficulties experienced in the passage of
the Mississippi by a corps under Lieutenant• Colonel
Tnonwros, which was destined to unite on the right
bank of that river, take place till early on the morn-
ing of the Bth.
" The division to whom the storming of the enemy's
work was entrusted, moved to the attack at that time,
but being too soon discovered by the enemy, were re.
ceited with a galling and severe fire from all parts
of their line.
hia'or-Gen. Sir E. Paennair, who had placed
at the head of the troops, was unfortunately
killed at the head of the Clads, and M.ijor-Csene.,
rals Guilts and 'CILIUM nearly at the same moment
borne off wounded. The effect of this on the
troops caused a hesitation in the troops, in
their advance ; and, although order was restored,
by the , advance of the reserve under Major-
General LAMARRT, to whom the command of the
army had devolved ; and Colonel TitouNrom had
succeeded in the operation assigned to him on the
right bank of the River, yet the Major-General, on
the consideration of the difficulties which yet remained
to be surmounted, did n think himself justified in
ordering a renewal of the attack ; the troops therefore
retired to the position which they had occupied pre.
vious to the attack, in that position they remained
till the evening of the 10th, when the whole of the
wounded, with the exception of eighty (which it was
considered dangerous to remove)• the field artillery,
and all the stores of every description having been
embarked ; the army retired to the head of the
Bartle, where the landing had been originally ef-
fated, and re-embarked without molestation.

44 the Major• General speaks in the highest terms
of the conduct of the Officers and Troops employed.
and the cordial cooperation rendered by the Navy."
