The Artillery and Engineer departnients, were conducted mach my atisfaetion by Colonel Sir G.
Wood and Col. Smyth; and I had every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of the Adit. General Major Gen. Barnes, who was wounded, and of the Quarter Master General Col. De Lancey, who was killed by a cannon shot in the middle of the action. This officer is a serious loss to His Majesty's Service and to me at this moment. I was likewise much indebted to the Lord Fitzroy Somerset, who was severely wounded, and to the officers, composing my persond staff, who have suffered severely in this action. Lieutenant Colonel the Honourable Sir Alexander Gordon, who was killed of his wounds, was a most. promising officer, and is a serious loss to his Majesty's Service.
General Kruse, of the Nassau service, likewise conducted himself to my satisfaction, as did General Trip, commanding the heavy brigade of cavalry, and General Vanhope, commanding a brigade of infantry of the King of the Netherlands.
General Pozzi di Berge, General Baron Vincent, General "Muffing, end General Alves, were in the field during the action,' and rendered me every assistance in their power. Baron Vincent ig wounded, but I hope not severely; and General Poszi di Berge received contusion, I should not do justice to my feelings or to Marshal Blacher and the Prussian army, if I did not attribute the successful result of this arduous day, to the cordial and timely assistance I received from them.
The operation of General Bulow, y's flank, was a most if I had not found myself in a situation to make the attack which produced the final result, it would have foreed the enemy to retire if his attacks should have failed, 2d would have prevented him from taking advantage of them if they have should unfortunately have succeeded.
I send, with this despatch, two. eagles, taken by the troops in the action, which Major Perey will have the honour of laying at the feet of His Royal Highness, I beg leave to recommend him to your Lordship's protection. I have the honour, ete.-—(Signed;)
