Lieetenant-Colonel Hopkinson- consaranding the
and -of,Lieuten int-Colonel Pollock, commanding Bengal
Artillery, and Captains Lrimtclen, Bengal Horse Artil-
lery, and Montgumerie. Madras Artillery, commanding
the batteries, I have to solicit your reco4umendation to
his Lordship's favourable attention. Tie Rocket Prac-
tice, under Lieut. Blake, of the Bengal Horse Artillery,
was in every way admirable : of 304 rockets which were
projected during the day, five alone failed of reaching
the spot for which they were destined, and uniformly
told iii the work, or in the ranks of the enemy, with an
effect that has clearly established their claim to be con-
sidered a most powerful and formidable weapon of war.
The conduct of his Majesty's 13th and 38th Regi-
ments during the advance, and their gallantry in the
storm, far exceed-all that I can write in their praise.
I sincerey hope that I shalknot long be deprived of the
services of their two brave Commanders.
Brigadier General Cotton's arrangements for inter-
cepting the ret.eat of the enemy, and the movement of
Lieutenant. Colonel Hunter Blair, to effect the same
object, merit my warmest comm:ndations.
Captain Chads, of the Royal Navy, and every
officer and seaman of his Majesty's ships, and the Hon.
Company's flotilla, I am deeply indebted, for the able
and judicious manner In which the troops were trans-
ported to points of attack so near to a formidable work
which they had to assail. I have the honour to
enclose Captain Chad's report, together with his return
of killed and wounded.
Upon this shot t but important service, I derived every
support from the zeal and ability of my Staff, general
and personal. •
Lieutenant Wilson, of his Majesty's 13th Light In-
fantry, Aid-de-Camp to Brigadier• General Cotton, who
will have the honour of delivering this di patch, was
present during the whole 'affair, and is well qualified to
give any further information which may be required by
his Lordship on the subject. I have. ace.
