the enemy's fire, or by the ex- 

 plosion. 



My thanks are due to the under- 

 mentioned officers, viz. to Lieute- 

 nant Colonel Fischer, who com- 

 manded the right attack ; to Major 

 Coore, Aide de Camp to your Ex- 

 cellency, who accompanied that 

 column ; Major Evans, of the 

 King's, commanding the advance ; 

 Major Villatte, De Watteville's ; 

 Captain Basden, Light company 

 89th ; Lieutenant Murray light 

 company 100th ; I also beg to add 

 the name of Captain Powell, of the 

 Glengarry lii^ht infantry, employed 

 on the staff as deputy assistant in 

 the quarter master general's de- 

 partment, who conducted Lieut. - 

 Colonel Fischer's column, and first 

 entered the enemy's intrench- 

 ments, and by his coolness and gal- 

 lantry particularly distinguished 

 himself; Major Villatte, of De 

 Watteville's regiment, who led the 

 column of attack and entered the 

 intrenchments ; as did Lieutenant 

 Young, of the King's regiment, 

 with about fifty men of the light 

 companies of the king's and De 

 Watteville's regiments ; Captain 

 Powell reports, that Serjeant Pow- 

 ell, of the 19th dragoons, who was 

 perfectly acquainted with the 

 ground, volunteered to actas guide, 

 and preceded the leading subdivi- 

 sion in the most intrepid style. — 

 In the centre and left columns, the 

 exertions of Major Smelt, 103rd 

 regiment, who succeeded to the 

 command of the left column, on 

 the death of Colonel Scott ; Cap- 

 tains Leonard and Shore, of the 

 104th flank companies ; Captains 

 Glew, Bullock, and O'Keefe, 4lst 

 flank companies ; Captain Dobbs, 

 royal navy, commanding a party of 

 volunteer seamen and marines, are 



entitled to my acknowledgments, 

 (they are all wounded). Nor can 

 I omit mentioning, in the strongest 

 terms of approbation, the active, 

 zealous, and useful exertions of 

 Captain Elliot, of the 103rd regi- 

 ment, deputy assistant quartermas- 

 ter general, who was unfortunately 

 wounded and taken prisoner ; and 

 Captain Barney, of the 89th regi- 

 ment, who had volunteered his 

 services as a temporary assistant in 

 the engineer department, conduct- 

 ed the centre column to the attack, 

 in which he received two danger- 

 ous wounds. 



To Major Phillot, commanding 

 royal artillery, and Captain Sabine, 

 who commanded the battery as 

 well as the field guns, and to the 

 officers and men of that valuable 

 branch of the service, serving un- 

 der them, I am to express my en- 

 tire approbation of their skill and 

 exertions. Lieutenant Charlton, 

 royal artillery, entered the fort 

 with the centre column, fired se- 

 veral rounds upon the enemy from 

 his own gnns, and was wounded by 

 the explosion. The ability and ex- 

 ertions of Lieutenant Philpot, royal 

 engineers, and the officers and men 

 of that department, claim my best 

 acknowledgments. 



To Lieutenant Colonel Tucker, 

 who commanded the reserve, and 

 to Lieutenant Colonel Pearson, In- 

 specting Field Officer, and Lieute- 

 nant Colonel Battersby, Glengarry 

 light infantry, and Captain Walk- 

 er, incorporated militia, I am 

 greatly indebted for their active 

 and unremitted attention to the 

 security of the outposts. 



To the Deputy Adjutant Gene- 

 ral, and Deputy Quarter Master 

 General, Lieutenant Colonel Har- 

 vey, and Lieutenant Colonel Myeri,
