ANNUAL REGISTER, 1794. 



army under my command has had 

 this day. 



At day-break this morning, tlie 

 enemy atificked me on all sides. 

 After a short, but severe conflict, we 

 succeeded in repulsing them with 

 considerable slaughter. The enemy's 

 geneial Chapuy, is taken pi-isoner, 

 .and we arc masters of 35 pieces of 

 the enemy's cannon. The behavi- 

 our of the British cavalry has been 

 beyond all praise. 



It is impossible for me as yet to 

 ^ive any account of the loss sustain- 

 ed by his majesty's troops. I have 

 reason to believe that it is not consi- 

 derable. 



The only ofTicers of whom I have 

 any account ns yet, and who, I be- 

 lieve, are all who have fallen upon 

 this occasion, are major-genei al 

 iVIansell, captain Pigolt, and cap- 

 tain Fellows, of the tliird dragoon 

 guards. 



The army under his imperial ma- 

 jesty was attacked at the same time, 

 and the only particulars widi which 

 I am acquainted at present, are, 

 that the enemy were likewise repul- 

 sed with great loss. 



I shall not fail to send you a more 

 full account by the tirst opportunity.
