time, from the exasperated state of the po- 
pulace, he could not answer for the safety of 
the prisoners, if 1 persisted in offensive mea- 
sures. Influenced by this consideration, which 
I knew from better authority to be founded in 
fact, and reflecting of how little advantage 
weuld be the possessiun of a country, the in- 
habitants of which were so absolutely hostile, 
T resolved to forego the advantages which the 
bravery of the troops had obtained, and acce- 
ded to the annexed treaty, which I trust will 
meet the approbation of his Majesty, di 
I have nothing further to add, except to 
Mention in terms of the highest praise, the 
conduct of Rear-Admiral Murray, whose 
cordial co-operation has never been wanting 
whenever the army could he benefited by his 
exertions. Captain Rowley, of the Royal 
Navy, commanding the seamen on shore, 
Captain Bayntun, of his Majesty’s ship Africa, 
who superintended the disembarkation, and 
Captain Thompson, of the Fly, who had 
the direction of the gun-boats, and had pre- 
viously rendered me much service by recon- 
noitering the river, are al] entitled to my best 
thanks. 
As his character already stands so high, 
it is almost unnecessary to state, that from 
my second in command, Major General Le- 
veson Gower, I have experienced every zea- 
Jous and useful assistance; my thanks are 
‘likewise due to Brigadiers General Sir Samuel 
Achmuty and Lumley, and to Colonel Mahon 
and Brigadier General Craufurd, commanding 
Brigades. I cannot sufficiently bring to 
notice the uncommon exertions of Captain 
Fraser, commanding the Royal Artillery, 
the fertility of whose mind, zeal, and anima- 
tion, in all cases Jeit difficulties behind. Cap- 
tain Squires, of the Royal Engineers, is also 
entitled to my best* thanks; nor should I 
omit the gallant conduct o: Major Nicholls, 
of the 45th regiment, who, on the morning 
of the 6th instant, being pressed by the 
enemy near the Residencia, charged them 
with great spirit, and took two howitzers and 
many prisoners, Lieutenant Colonel Brad- 
ford, Deputy Adjutant General, has likewise 
a great claim to my approbation, as a gallant 
and promising officer, 
The oiicers of my personal staff, Lieute- 
mant Colonel Torrens, military secretary ; 
Captains Brawn, Foster, Douglas, ana Whit- 
tingham, aides du camp; must also be men- 
tioned by me-in terms or just regard: the 
knowledge which the latter possesses of the 
Spanish language has been eminently useful 
to me. i have the honour to be, &c.
