the army as well-as myself are under 
every marked obligation, From 
captain Tomlin, the acting head of 
the adjutant general’s department, 
and from the officers of my own fa- 
mily, lL have received much active 
assistance. Among the latter Lam 
to mention lieut.-colouel Moore, of 
the 23d light dragoons, who being 
in Sicily for his health at the time of 
our departure, solicited permission 
to accompany me on this expedi- 
tion; he was wounded in the execu- 
tion of my orders.—F rom the me- 
dical department, under the direc. 
tion of Mr. Grieves, the deputy in- 
spector, I am to acknowledge much 
professional attention ; the more so 
as their labours have been greatly 
accumulated by the number of 
wounded prisoners who have  be- 
come, equally with our own, the 
subject of their care. ‘The scene of 
action was too far ‘from the sea to 
enable us toderive any co-operation 
from the navy ; but admiral sir Sid- 
ney Smith, who had arrived in the 
bay the evening before the action, 
had directed such a disposition of 
sbips and gun-boats as would have 
greatly favoured us had events ob- 
liged us to retire. ‘The solicitude, 
however, of every part of the navy 
to be of usetous, the promptitude 
with which the seamen hastened on 
shore with our supplies, their anxiety 
to.assist eur wounded, and the 
tenderness with which they treated 
them, would have been an affecting 
eircumstanee to observers even the 
wiost indifferent. To me it was parti. 
cularly so.—Captain Fellows, of the 
Apollo, has been specially attached 
to this expedition by the rear-ad- 
miral ; and, in every circumstance of 
professional service, 1 beg leave to 
mention our grateful obligations to 
this offeer, as weli as. to captains

the prey of the victors; and what, 
perhaps, may be considered as even
