cer. Capfa'n Hpnry carried on the 

 business at Anced'Arl'ttwiih great 

 energy, and has been indefatigable 

 in forwardintj all the operations he 

 lias had a share in. To captains 

 .Urown, Nugent, Harvey, Mark- 

 ham, Fanlkener, Sawyer, Carpenter, 

 and Scott. I am greatly indebted 

 for the manner in which they con- 

 ducted the attack against St. Pierre. 

 Captai:is Harvey, Kelly, Rogers, 

 Salisbury, Incledon, Rlou. lord Gar- 

 lies, Carpenter, Scott, and Bayntun, 

 have gained great reputation in the 

 army by the conduct of the naval 

 battalions, and working parties un- 

 der their command. Captain Ber- 

 keley (since the arrival of the Assur- 

 ance) has furnished a powerful re- 

 inforcement of men from that ship 

 Captain Pierrepont has been very 

 active in the services allotted to the 

 8ea-li,nvcr. In captain Grey I have 

 found the experience of age joined 

 to the vigour of youth. The cap- 

 tains of the forty-four gun-ships 

 armed en tiute, of the store-ship, 

 and hospital-ship, have done well. 



For other particulars I beg leave 

 to refer their lordsliips to captain 

 Powlet, who carries this dispatch, 

 and to captain Markham, of the 

 Blonde, who conveys him. They 

 served with commodore Thompson, 

 at La Triiiite, auda-rived on the 

 eoulh side of the island in time to 

 have a share inmost of the transac- 

 tions there.

ship wounded. So soon as I per- 

 ceived she could fetch in, I f;ave 

 ordersto captains Nugent and Uiou, 

 who commanded the flat-boats, 

 which, with the men embarked iu 

 them, were laying upon their oars, 

 to push in and mount the walls j 

 when every exertion was made, and 

 the boats seeir.ed to tly towards the 

 fort. Captain Fsiulkenci", in the 

 mean time, in a most spirited and 

 gal ant manner, entered the harbour 

 through the fn-e of all their batte- 

 rle , and laid his sloop along side 

 the walls, there being deep water 

 close to; when the enemy, terrified 

 at his audacity, the flat-boats full of 

 seimien pulling towards them, and 

 the appearance of the troops from 

 all quarters, struck their colours to 

 the Zebra. A well-directed and 

 steady tire from thegun-boat.s under 

 lieutenant Bowen, as also from our 

 batteries, was of great service. The 

 alacrity and bleadinessof theofficers 

 and seamen in general under my 

 command, was such, that I had not 

 the lea»tdoubt of success against the 

 whole force of the enemy, had they 

 disputed our entrance. 



The fort is full cf ammunition 

 and s'ores of all sorts, but the build- 

 ings are in a miserable condition 

 from the effects nt our bomb.s, the 

 gun-boats, and batteries.
