APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE. 453 



the latter, I have lost the assistance 

 of a friend, who had been most 

 useful to me in the few days which 

 had elapsed since he had joined the 

 army. 



He had rendered a most injpor- 

 tant service at the moment he re- 

 ceived his wound, in taking up the 

 position which the troops afterwards 

 maintained, and in bearing the first 

 brunt of the enemy's attack. 



Major Hervey also distinguished 

 himself at the moment he received 

 his wound in the charge of the ca- 

 valry on this day. 



I cannot say too much in favour 

 of the officers and troops. 



They have marched in four days 

 over eighty miles of most difficult 

 country, have gained many impor- 

 tant positions, and haveengagedand 

 defeated three different bodies of 

 the enemy's troops. 



I beg particularly to draw your 

 lordship's attention to the conduct 

 of lieut.-general Paget, major-ge- 

 neral Murray, major-general Hill, 

 lieutenant-gen. Sherbrooke, briga- 

 dier-gen. the hon. Charles Stewart, 

 lieutenant-colonel Delancy, deputy 

 quarter-master-general, andcaptain 

 Mellish, assistant adjutant-general, 

 for the assistance they respectively 

 rendered general Stewart in the 

 charge of the cavalry this day and 

 on the 11th, major Colin Camp- 

 bell, assistant-adjutant-general, for 

 the assistance he rendered major- 

 general Hill in the defence of his 

 post, and brigadier-general Stewart 

 in the charge of the cavalry this 

 day; and brigade-major Fordyce, 

 captain Corry, and captain Hill, 

 for the assistance they rendered ge- 

 neral Hill. 



I have also to request your lord- 

 ship's attention to the conduct of 



the riflemen and of the flank com- 

 panies of the 29th, 43rd, and 52nd, 

 regiments, under the command of 

 major Way of the 29th, and that 

 of the 16th Portuguese regiment, 

 commanded by colonel Machado, 

 of which lieutenant-colonel Doyle 

 is lieut.-col. and that of the bri- 

 gade of the Hanoverian legion, 

 under the command of brigadier- 

 general Langworth, and that of the 

 two squadrons of the 16th and 

 20th light dragoons under the com- 

 mand of major Blake of the 20th, 

 in the action of the 11th; and the 

 conduct of the Buffs, commanded 

 by lieut.-col. Drunimond, the 48th 

 commanded by colonel Duckworth, 

 66th commanded by major Murray, 

 who was wounded, and of the squa- 

 dron of the 14th dragoons, under 

 the command of major Hervey, in 

 the action of this day. 



I have received the greatest as- 

 sistance from the adjutant-geneial 

 and quarter-master-general, colonel 

 Murray, and from all the officers 

 belonging to those departments res- 

 pectively throughout the service, 

 as well as from lieut.-col. Bathurst 

 and the officers of my personal stafl", 

 and I have every reason to be satis- 

 fied witii the artillery and officers of 

 engineers. 



I send this dispatch by captain 

 Stanhope, whom I beg to recom- 

 mend to your lordship's protection ; 

 his brother, the hon. major Stan- 

 hope was unfortunately wounded 

 by a sabre wliiist leading a charge 

 of the 16th light dragoons on the 

 10th instant. 1 have the honour to 

 be, &c. (Signed)
