APPENDIX TO CHRONICLE. 



229 



Captains Palmer and Money, for 

 their exertions during the march to 

 and from Washington. To Cap- 

 tain Nourse, who has commanded 

 the flotilla during my absence, my 

 acknowledgments are also most 

 justly due, as well as to Captains 

 Sullivan, Badcock, Somerville, 

 Ramsay, at)d Bruce, who have 

 acted in it under him. 



Lieutenant James Scott, now 

 first Lieutenant of the Albion, has 

 on this occasion rendered me es- 

 sential services ; and as I have had 

 reason so often of late to mention 

 to you the gallant and meritorious 

 conduct of this officer, I trust you 

 will permit me to seize this oppor- 

 tunity of recommending him par^ 

 ticularly to your favourable notice 

 and consideration. 



Captain Robyns (the senior of- 

 ficer of marines with the fleet), 

 who has had, during these opera- 

 tions, the marines of the ships 

 united under his orders, has exe- 

 cuted ably and zealously the seve- 

 ral services with which he has been 

 intrusted, and is entitled to my 

 best acknowledgments accordi ngly; 

 as is also Captain Harrison, of the 

 marine artillery, who, with the 

 officers and men attached to him, 

 accom pained the army to and from 

 Washington. 



Mr. Dobie, surgeon of the Mel- 

 pomene, volunteered his profes- 

 sional services on this occasion, and 

 rendered much assistance to the 

 wounded on the field of battle, as 

 well as to many of the men taken 

 ill on the line of march. 



One colonial marine killed, one 

 master's mate, two serjeants, and 

 three colonial marines wounded, 

 are the casualties sustained by the 

 naval department ; a general list of 

 the killed and wounded of the 



whole army will of course accom- 

 pany the report of the major-gene- 

 ral. 



I have the honour to be, &c.

 Upper Marlborough was destroyed. 



COLONIAL DEPARTMENT. 



Downing-street, Oct. 17, 1814. 



Capt. Macdougall arrived early 

 this morning with a dispatch ad- 

 dresssd to Earl Batburst, one of his 

 Majesty's Principal Secretaries of 

 State, by Colonel Brook, of which 

 the following is a copy : — 



On board H. M. S. Ton- 

 nant, Chesapeake, Sept. 

 17, 1814. 



My Lord, — I have the honour 

 to inform your Lordship, that the 

 division of troops under the com- 

 mand of Major General Ross ef- 

 fected a disembarkation on the 

 morning of the 12th of September, 

 near North Point, on the left 

 point of Patapsco River, dis- 

 tant from Baltimore about thirteen 

 miles, with the view of pushing a 

 reconnoissance, in co-operation 

 with the naval forces, to that 

 town; and acting thereon as the 

 enemy's strength and positions 

 might be found to dictate. 



The approach on this side to 

 Baltimore lies through a small 

 peninsula formed by the Patapsco 

 and Back River, and generally 

 from two to three miles broad.
