Lieutenant-Colonel Cain:l, and Lieut.-Colonel
Offrey, were left at the head of the Adjutant-Ge-
neral's departnseitt, as they were actively employed
in that department during the whole of the siege,
and they both speak the language flgiently. When
Sir Eyre Coate was appointed Governor, they
both left the island, and Lieut.-Colonel Walsh; a
very intelligent Officer, remains.
