medical, and from my own perfonal ftaff, I 
have received the moft prompt 21d cheerful 
affiftance. 
It is infufficient to fay, that the utmoft cor- 
Giatity has fubfifted between Rear-Admiral 
Sutling and myfelf; I have received from him 
the moft friendly attention, and every thing 
in his power to grant. 
The captaias and officers of the navy 
have been equally zealous to affift us; but lL 
feel particularly indebted to Captains Donnelly 
and Palmer for their great exertions. They 
commanded a corps of marines and feamen 
that were Janded, and were effentially ufeful 
to us with the guns, and in the batteries, as 
well as in bringing up the ordnance and 
ftores. 
This difpatch will be delivered to you by 
Major Tucker, who was wounded at the 
aifault 3 and as he has long been in my con- 
fidence, I beg leave to refer you to him for 
further particulars. 
J have the honour to be, &c.

P. S. I am extremely concerned to add, 
that Lieutenant-Colontis vaffal'and Brown- 
rigg both died yefterday of their wounds. I 
had flattered myfelf with hopes of their re- 
covery 5 but a rapid mortification has deprived 
his Majefty of two moft able and gallant offi. 
cers.

Surling, commanding a {quadron of his 
Majcity’s fhips in the Rio dela Plata, 
of which the following are copies : 
Diaden, of Monte Video, 8th Feb. 1807. 
SIRs 
¥ have peculiar fatisfaStion in congratulat- 
ing my Lords Commiffioners of the Admiralty 
an the capture of Monte Video, as well from 
the importance of the conqueft, as from the hoe 
nour which has thereby been acquired by his 
Majefty’s arms. \ 
-Immediately on the arrival of Brigadier- 
General Sir Samucl Auchmuty, at Maldonado, 
it was determined to inveft-this place, and 
and having afiembled our force off the Ifland 
of Flores, a deftent was effected on the 16th 
Ulumo, near Carretea Point, which is about 
feven miles to the Eafiward of the town. 
The enemy had affembled in confiderable 
numbers, and with feveral pieces of Artillery 
feemed determined to oppofe our progrefs. 
The navigation of the Rio de la Plata, with 
the ftrong breezes which we have experienced 
for feveral weeks, rendered. the landing of 
troops, and aflifting their operations, very 
dificuit, but the place choiea was happily 
. adapted
