I must also mention Lieut.-Col.

 of the fusileers, under the com- 

 mand of Captain Crowder, main- 

 tained the village of Arapiles 

 against all the efforts of the enemy, 

 previous to the attack upon their 

 position by our troops. 



In a case in which the conduct 

 of all has been conspicuously good, 

 I regret that the necessary limits of 

 a dispatch prevent me from draw- 

 ing your lordship's notice to the 

 conduct of a larger number of in- 

 dividuals ; but I can assure your 

 lordship, that there was no officer 

 of corps engaged in this action, 

 who did not perform his duty by 

 his sovereign and his country. 



The royal and German artillery, 

 under Lieut.-Colonel Framingham, 

 distinguished themselves by the 

 accuracy of their fire wherever it 

 was possible to use them ; and they 

 advanced to the attack of the 

 enemy's position with the same gal- 

 lantry as the other troops. 



I am particularly indebted to 

 Lieut.-Colonel De Lancy, the 

 deputy quarter-master-general, the 

 head of the department present in 

 the absence of the quarter-master- 

 general, and to the officers of that 

 department, and of the staff corps, 

 for the assistance I received from 

 them, particularly the Hon. Lieut.- 

 Colonel Dundas, and Licut.-Col. 

 Sturgeon of the latter, and JMajor
