witACT OF A LETTER FROM LIEUTENANT-COLONEL
y,DWARD BRAND, DATED SANTA MARTHA, OCT. 25.
Vor the satisfaction of their friends in England,
hoe the honour to inclose yon a list of the killed
and wounded of the Battalion of Carabobo (formerly
Colonel English'sßritish Legion), in the decisive battle
Curabobo, on the 24th June last. You have already
heard, I doubt not, of the warm work we had on that
memorable day. In the morning we marched through
a most dreadful pass in the mountains five leagues in
length, after which we had to pass :t narrow defile in
front of the enemy. The Battalion of the Apure, sta-
tioned in our front, having been so severely handled
by the enemy, retreated in great confosirin, and threw
our line into disorder ; but we again immediately
formed, and advance.l within fifteen yards of the
enema's column io front, eight hundred strong, the
finest Battalion in the Spanish service.
On our right and left were two other columns
outflanking us, and to this force of about. 1,800 or
2,003 men, we were singly opposed for half an hour;
during which time we lost 10 officers out of 27, and
%men out of 324, the force we took into action—
the remainder of the regiment being in sick quarters.
The enemy had a most advantageous position, and
out ground as bad and irt.eguiar as possible. Our
Colonel (Ferriar) and Lieutenant-Colonel Davis, fell
on our first charge. and I, as sez.ior Major, then took
the command. My horse was shot under me, hut
furtunittely I escaped. Oar brave fellows most com-
pletely proved themselves Britons, and Spanish ty-
ranny, front that day, has ceased to reign in this de-
lightful, bat hitherto oppressed country. We have,
all received the Oder of Übe: tador, and his Excel-
Jenny has been pleased to promote me to the rank of
lieutenant-Colonel.
