APPENDIX TO CHRONICLE. 
to consider them, I prolonged the 
riod at his request, and at three 
o’clock the fort was given up toa 
British guard, and British colours 
hoisted, the terms being signed 
by Major Smith, military secre- 
tary, and Captain Ricketts, R. N. 
and finally approved of by the 
Vice-Admiral and myself, which 
I have the honour to enclose. I 
am happy to say, our loss has not 
been very great ; and we are in- 
debted for this, in a great mea- 
sure, to the efficient means at- 
tached to this force. Had we 
been obliged to resort to any other 
mode of attack, the fall could not 
have been looked for under such 
favourable circumstances, 
We have certain information of 
| a force having been sent from 
Mobile, and disembarked about 
12 miles off, in the night of the 
10th, to attempt its relief; two 
schooners, with provisions, and 
an intercepted letter, fell into our 
hands, taken by Captain Price, 
R. N. stationed in the bay. 
I cannot close this dispatch 
without naming to your Lordship 
again, Lieut.-Colonels Dickson, 
} royal artillery, and Burgoyne, 
royal engineers, who displayed 
their usual zeal and abilities ; and 
Lieutenant Bennet, of the 4th, 
who commanded the light com- 
panies, and pushed close up to 
) the enemy’s works. 
") Captain Honourable R. Spen- 
cer, R. N. who had been placed 
with a detachment of seamen un- 
der my orders, greatly facilitated 
the service in every way by his 
| exertions. 
From Captain Ricketts, of the 
*)R.N. who was charged with the 
landing and disposition of the na- 
Vor, LVII.

sistance.

ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, 
Extract of a letter from Vice- 
Admiral Sir Alexander Coch- 
rane, G. C. B. &c. to John W. 
Croker, esq. dated on board 
His Majesty's ship Tonnant, 
off Mobile Bay, the \4th of 
February, 1815. 
It being the intention of Major- 
General Lambert and myself to 
have attacked Mobile, and find- 
ing the entrance into the bay so 
guarded by Fort Boyer as to ren- 
der it unsafe to attempt forcing a 
passage with the smaller ships of 
war, the Major-General and my- 
self thought it advisable to attack 
the fort by land, and on the 7th 
a detachment of ships, under the
