cuffed in the margin,* with the view of attacking the
enemy in the flank, and driving him from the breast-
w.n k which defended the creek, to enable Capt. Hardy
to proceed up with the gen-boats, to remove the stakes,
and to accompany the troops to the principal stockade,
leaving Captain Skardon with the reserve of about onei
hundred and eighty men, and the two brigades of guns,
under Captain Hall, to act in concert with Capt. II ardy,
as circumstances might render necessary.
The column of attack, I regret to say, was led by
the guides in quite a different direction to the place 1
wished to carry, and had to surmount obstacles never
contemplated front the information received. The
gallantry of the party, however, overcame every diffi-
• culty which presented itself, and drove the enemy from
all his entrenched positions at the point of the bayonet,
obliging him to take shelter in his usual place of reso. t.
the j:.ngle, fram which a galling tire was kept up until
he was dislodged by our troops.
It be n now half-past three, pM. the detachment
quite f ,tigned and exhausted for want of water, and
finding that it was totally impracticable to advance by
the road pointed out, the jungle being so very close as
not to admit of a file of men abreast, and lined by the
enemy, who had now opened a fire upon our rcar, and
being about five mi:es distant from the boats, without
any possibility of communication, and it appearing
evident that we had been most treacherously stAceived,
it was deemed prudent and advisable to rctum to tfie
• boats so as to arrive in sufficient time to tccross the
nu'lahs, w;.ich had so greatly impeded our advance.
The ea.,.my re-occupied every hill and plain as we
quitted, and continued firing on us from jingals and
matchlocks, until checked by the arrival of the reserve,
when a few well-directed rounds from the six pounder
Feld-pieces dislodged them from their lurking places,
and effectually silenced their fire, which enabled us to
re-embark the whole force by six, r
However much it is to be lamented that our enter-
prize has not been crowned with that success which the
information I had received gave me every reason to.ex-
peer, as well as the loss we have sustained, yet I trust
his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will view it as
trifling, compared with the information which has been
acquired respecting the harbour of Ramree and its lo-
calities, by the zealous and indefatigable exertions of
Captain Hardy, and which no doubt may prove of the
utmost importance should Government deem it expe-
dient hereafter to send an adequate force to take pos-
sess; in of, and occupy it.
F.oin my own personal observation, if I may be per-
raittrd to offer an opinion, the island is particularly;
strotg ; arid from the localities of the country, its na-
tural defences and means of resistance, it will require a
forcer f at least fifteen hundred or two thousand men, in-
eluding five hundred European troops, with a due pro-
po:tiiin or artil:ery and pioneers to take arid maintain it.
%Viten every man composing the force did his duty, it
is difficult to discriminate individual merit ; but I should
consider myself wanting in duty were I not to bring
to the nonce of his Excellency the gallant conduct of
Lieutenant Bell, of the Bombay European regiment,
c numanding the marines, and of Lieutenant Cox, com-
manding the light company of my own Regiment, who
ware conspicuously forward on every occasion. chewing
an example to their men, which did them honour and credit.
To Captain Hardy, who commanded the naval part
of the force, and who was engaged with the gun-boats
during my absence, endeavouring to remove the stakes
and force a passage up the creek to the enemy's breast
wen k, and whose Officers and seamen exerted themselves
to their utmost, my sincere and grateful thanks are due,
as well as for his cordial co-operation and assistance on
severy occssioa wl'etever eie public service required it.
Herewith I dn myself the honour to inclose a return
of killed and wounded.
