killed, 99 wounded, and nine missing. The failure of an attempt, on the 3d of May, to dislodge the republicans from their batteries on the base of the mountain, near the Grand Cul de Sac, occasioned a loss of 12 officers and privates killed, 56 wounded, and 34 missing. An attempt, made in the night of the 17th, to get possession of a post named the Vigie, although conducted with the utmost bravery, and partially successful, failed also in the main object, and was attended with the loss of one lieutenant killed, 114 officers and privates wounded, and 65 missing. After a few attacks of outposts, the enemy, annoyed by the guns brought by the ships and planted by the seamen, retired to the fortress of Morne-Fortunée. At length, on the evening of the 24th, the enemy desired a suspension of arms until noon the next day. It was granted until eight in the morning, when the whole island surrendered by capitulation. On the 26th the garrison, to the number of 2000 men, marched out and laid down their arms. A great quantity of ordnance, besides stores of every description, was found in the different forts ; and one or two small privateers and some merchant vessels were taken in the carénage. The total loss sustained by the British army, in the reduction of this valuable island, amounted to 56 officers and privates killed, 378 wounded, and 122 missing.

Exclusive of 800 seamen, 320 marines had been landed from the ships of war ; and both departments exerted themselves with their usual promptitude and gallantry. In establishing batteries, especially on commanding eminences deemed almost inaccessible, the ready resources of the sailors astonished their land-associates, and mainly contributed to the successful result of the expedition. An acknowledgment to this effect, made in the handsomest terms by Lieutenant-general Sir Ralph Abercromby, was communicated to the navy through the channel of a general order issued for the purpose ; and in which, besides Captains Lane and Ryves, Captain James Stevenson, of the Charon armed store-ship, is named.

The islands of St.-Vincent and Grenada were the next to be subdued. On the 8th of June, in the evening, the troops destined for the attack of the former island were safely disembarked, under cover of the 38-gun frigate Arethusa, Captain Thomas Wolley ; who also sent a detachment of seamen to serve on shore with the troops. After some skirmishing and an obstinate resistance, the enemy, composed chiefly of people of colour and Charibs, capitulated on the terms proposed by General Abercromby ; who, on the 11th, took possession of the island. The loss sustained by the British on the occasion amounted to 38 officers and privates killed, and 145 wounded.

In a few days afterwards Grenada followed the example of St.-Vincent ; but the monster Fedon, after having, in the very face of the British troops, butchered several Europeans (twenty white people of Morne-Quaquo were laid out, stripped, pinioned,
