APPENDIX TO CHRONICLE.

and I avail myself of this oppor- 

 tunity of expressing my satisfac- 

 tion at their conduct, as likewise 

 with that of Mareschal del Campo 

 Don Miguel de Aiava, and of 

 the brigadier-general Don Joseph 

 O'Lawlor, who have been so long 

 and so usefully employed with me. 

 The artillery was most judiciously 

 placed by lieut.-col. Dickson, and 

 was well served, and the army is 

 particularly indebted to that corps. 

 The nature of the ground did not 

 allow of the cavalry being generally 

 engaged, but the general officers, 

 commanding the several brigades, 

 kept the troops under tli,eir com- 

 mand respectively close to the in- 

 fantry to support them, and they 

 were most active in the pursuit of 

 the enemy after they had been driven 

 through Vittoria. 1 send this dis- 

 patch by my aide-de-camp-, cap- 

 tain Freemantle, whom I beg leave 

 to recommend to your lordship's 

 protection: he will have the honour 

 of laying at the feet of his Royal 

 Highness the Prince Regent, the 

 colours of the 4th battalion of the 

 100th regiment, and marshal 

 Jourdan's baton, of a marshal of 

 France, taken by the 87th regi- 

 ment. 



I have the honour to be, &c.

I enclose a return of the killed 

 and wounded in the late opera- 

 tions, and a return of the ordnance 

 and ammunition captured in the 

 action of the 21st instant.

N. B. 1 Serjeant, 2 drummers,

 turned missing by the several corps 

 of the army, British and Portu- 

 guese ; it is supposed that the 

 greater number of them lost their 

 regiments in the course of the 

 night, and that very few have 

 fallen into the hands of the enemy.
