• Rear-Admiral Malcolm superintended the disem-,
barkation of the army, and the various services per-
fernsed by the boots; sod it is a duty that I fulfil
with much pleasure, assuring their Lordships, that
his zeal and exertions, upon every occasion, could
not be sorpassed by any one. I beg leave also to
offer my testimony to the omvearied and cheerful
assistance afforded to the Rear-Admiral by Captains
Sir T. M. Hardy, Dashwood, and Gordon, and the
several Captains and other Officers. Rear-Admiral
Codrington accompanied me throughout this service,
and I feel much indebted for his able advice and
assistance. Captain Sir Thomas Troubridge, and
the Officers• and seamen attached under his com-
mand to the army, have conducted themselves
much to the satisfaction of the Generals command;
ing. Sir Thomas Troubridge speaks in the highest
terms of the Captains and other Officers employed
under him, as named in his letter (a copy of which is
enclosed), reporting their services. lie particularly
mentions Captain Money, of the Traave, who„ I am
much concerned to say, had both bones of his leg
broken by a musket-shot, advancing under a heavy
fire to-the attack of a battery that was afterwards
carried. The conduct of Capt. Money, at Washing-
ton and near Baltimore, where he was employed with
the army, having before occasioned my noticing him
to their —Lordships, I beg leave now to recommend'
him most strongly to their protection. The wound
that he has received not affording him any probability
of his being able to return to his duty for a consider
able time, I have given him leave of absence to go
to England, and shall entrust to him my dispatches.
I have not yet received any official report from the
Captain of the Nymphs, which ship, with the vessels
named in the margin*, were sent into the. Mississippi
to create a diversion in that quarter.
The bombs have been for some days past Throwing
shells into Fort I'lacquemain, but I fear without much
effect. I have sent to recall such of them as are not
required for the blockade of the river.--I have, &c.

Stn—The conduct And the exertions of the Officers
and seamen which you did me the honour to place
under my command to serve with the army on shore,
having been such as to meet very general approba-
'ion, I feel it a duty I owe to them to make such
known to you, and to particularize the exertions of
Captains Money, Rogers, and Westphal!.
I cannot sufficiently express the high sense I enter-
tain of the zeal and activity of Lieutenant Scott, of
the Tonnant, and Lieutenant Fletcher, of the Norge,
who. on all occasions, have shewn themselves most
deserving officers.
Captains Money and Rogers, who were detiched
across the river, again report the exertion and gallan.
try of Lieutenant Scott, and also of Mr. Woolcombe,
Midshipman of his Majesty's ship Tomiant, who par.
titularly distinguished themselves in leading their
Men under a heavy fire to the battery that was car-
ried. It is with infinite regret I have to report the
severe wot•nd Captain Money received while op this
service. To Lieutenants Wroote, of the Royal Oak,
.and Franklin, of the Bedford, with the many other
officers employed, every praise is due. I have the ho-
nour to be. &c. (Signed(
