ed who are in our hands, and who
were taken on the fecond day, there
are great number of Off ers of the

the Etat Major. They are of the re-
gimenis of the army who have mott
fuffcred on the Aft and 22d, and
from the reports of the priConers,
they are reduced to below a third OF
their number.
All our attacks have been conduit
ed ADD executed with that brilliant
valour & tina, cold intrepidity which
laughs at danger and triumphs over
every cbitacle. From the General 70
