ANNUAL REGISTER, 1814. 



To Major-General Montresor I 

 nin also much indebted: all the 

 operations intrusted to his charge 

 were conducted with great judg- 

 ment and vigour. 



All the officers and troops of his 

 Majesty have acted to my entire 

 satisfaction. 



The Sicilian troops, under Bri- 

 gadier-General Roth, were engaged 

 equally with our own, and dis- 

 played the greatest bravery. The 

 utmost respect and confidence mu- 

 tually prevails. 



The Italian levy completely ful- 

 filled the expectations I had always 

 formed of them. 



In the whole course of the ser- 

 vice, the navy have borne a distin- 

 guished part. 



To Captain Sir Josias Rowley, 

 who conducted the naval part of 

 the expedition, I have to express 

 my particular acknowledgments ; 

 I am equally indebted for his ad- 

 vice, Qs for his hearty and most ef- 

 fectual co-operation. 



From the energy and bravery of 

 the Hon. Capt. Dundas, who was 

 principally charged with the direc- 

 tions ashore, and who took an active 

 part with his marines and guns in 

 the military operations, the army 

 derived the utmost assisttince. 



I regret to say, that in this ser- 

 vice. Lieutenant Mapleton, First 

 of the Edinburgh, was wounded, 

 I beg to recommend him, through 

 your lordship, to the favourable 

 consideration of the Lords of the 

 Admiralty. 



Captain Hamilton, of the Rain- 

 bow, rendered essential service to 

 the advanced corps of the army. 



1 have the honour to enclose re- 

 turns of the killed and wounded. 

 There have been found in Ge- 



noa a very considerable amount of 

 naval and military stores, of which 

 exact returns will be transmitted 

 as soon as they can be prepared. 

 1 have the honour to be, &c. 

 W. C. Bentinck, 

 Lieut.-General.
