Copy of a Letter from the Honourable Rear-Admiral Sir
Alexander Cochrane, K. B. Commander in Chief of his Ma-
jesty's Ships and Vessels at the Leeward Islands, to the Ho-
nourable W. W. Pole, dated on board the Neptune, off Marti-
nique, the 4th of February 1809.
Sir—Having on the '2oth January received a letter
from Lieutenant-General Beckwith, informing me
that in consequence of some alteration ofcircumstances
he was induced to proceed on the attack ofMartinique,
and expressing a wish to see me at Barbadoes, in or-

landing of the army intended tt, be put on shore at
Bay Robert, to Captain Beaver, of his Majesty's ship
Acasta, who had Lieutenant-General Beckwith, the
Commander of the Forces, with him ; Major-General
Sir George Prevost, commanding the division, being
embarked on board the Penelope. By the inclosed
letter from Captain Beaver their Lordships will see
that he completed this service, with his usual ability,
on the 30th of January, and morning of the 31st,
whilst the other division, under Major-General Mait-
land, was landed on the the 30th at St. Luce, under
the superintendance of Captain Fahie, of the Belleisle,
who had formed the most judicious arrangements for
the purpose.
About six hundred men were detached on board
his Majesty's ship York, under the command of Ma-
jor Henderson of the Royal York Rangers, to take
possession of the battery at Point Solomon, in order
to secure a safe anchorage for the men 'of war and
transports ; after effecting this the Rangers pushed
on, and invested the fort of Pigeon Island, on which
a mortar was brought to bear so early as the Ist inst.l
but not finding the fire of that sufficient, nine others,
including howitzers, were landed, five of which were
got up to the top of a commanding height, by the,
