APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE. 
actiyity in preparing rafts, boats, 
&c. to pass the Rio Chuelo. Lieut, 
colonel Lane, and the St. Helena 
troops, also merit my thanks for 
their good conduct ; as does captain 
Ogilvie, commanding the artillery, 
for the manner in which the guns 
were conducted and served. Capt. 
Kennet, of the royal engineers, was 
particularly serviceable by his intel- 
ligence and zeal; as were the honoura- 
ble major Deane, my brigade-major, 
and the honourable ensign Gordon, 
of the 3d guards, my aid-de-camp. 
By eleven o’clock, A. M. I had got 
some guns, and the greatest part of 
the troops, across the river, and sec. 
ing no symptoms of farther oppo- 
sition, and learning that the troops 
in general had deserted the city, 
motives of humanity induced me to 
send, ‘by the honourable ensign Gor- 
don, a summons to the governor to 
deliyer to me the city and fortress, 
that the excesses and calamities 
which would most probably occur, 
if the troops entered in a hastile 
manner, might be avoided; inform- 
ing him that the British character 
would insure to them the exercise of 
their religion, and protection to 
their persons, and all private pro- 
perty. He returned to me an offi. 
cer, to ask some hours to draw up 
conditions; but I could not con- 
sent to delay my march, which I 
commenced as soonas the whole had 
erossed the Rio Chuelo; and, on 
arriving near the city, an officer of 
the governor again met me, with a 
number of conditions, to which I 
had not then time to attend, but 
said I would confirm by writing 
what I had promised, when in pos- 
session of the city; and the terms 
granted and signed by sir Home 
Popham and myself, I have the ho- 
nour to annex. I also transmit a 
return of the killed, wounded, and 
599 
missing, on the 26th and 27th of 
June, as well as the return of the 
ordnance taken.—IJ cannot conclude 
without assuring you, of the, un- 
wearied zeal and assiduity of com. 
modore sir Home Popham, in what- 
ever could contribute to the success 
of this expedition, and of the cor. 
dial co-operation, and great assist- 
ance which I have received from him.
