THURSDAY's POST.
From the London Gazette Extraordinary.
Admiralty-Office, October 2.

THE Honorable Captain Capel, of His Majesty's sloop Mutine, arrived this morning with dispatches from Rear Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, K.B. to Evan Nepean Esq; Secretary of the Admiralty, of which the following are copies:





Vanguard, Mouth of the Nile, Aug. 7.

SIR,
HEREWITH I have the honor to transmit you a copy of my letter to the Earl of St. Vincent, together with a line of battle of the English and French squadrons, also a list of killed and wounded. I have the pleasure to inform you, that eight of our ships have already top-gallant yards across, and ready for any service; the others, with the prizes, will soon be ready for sea. In an event of this importance, I have thought it right to send Captain Capel with a copy of my letter (to the commander in chief) over land, which I hope their Lordships will approve; and beg leave to refer them to Capt. Capel, who is a most excellent officer, and fully able to give every information; and I beg leave to recommend him to their Lordships notice.- I have the honor to be, &c.
HORATIO NELSON.

P.S. The island I have taken possession of, and brought off the two thirteen-inch mortars, all the brass guns, and destroyed the iron ones.




Vanguard, off the Mouth of the Nile, Aug. 3.
My LORD,
ALMIGHTY GOD has blessed His Majesty's arms in the late battle, by a great victory over the fleet of the enemy, whom I attacked at sun-set on the first of Aug. off the mouth of the Nile. The enemy were moored in a strong line of battle for defending the entrance of the bay, (of shoals) flanked by numerous gun-boats, four frigates, and a battery of guns and mortars on an island in their van; but nothing could withstand the squadron your Lordship did me the honor to place under my command. Their high state of discipline is well known to you, and with the judgment of the Captains, together with their valour and that of the officers and men of every description, it was absolutely irresistible.
Could any thing from my pen add to the characters of the Captains, I would write it with pleasure, but that is impossible.
I have to regret the loss of Capt.Westcott, of the Majestic, who was killed early in the action; but the ship was continued to be so well fought by her first Lieutenant, Mr.Cuthbert, that I have given him an order to command her till your Lordship's pleasure is known.
The ship, of the enemy, all but their two rear ships, are nearly dismasted; and those two, with two frigates, I am sorry to say, made their escape ; nor was it, I assure you, in my power to prevent them. Capt.Hood most handsomely endeavoured to do it, but I had no ship in a condition to support the Zealous, and I was obliged to call her in.
The support and assistance I have received from Capt.Berry, cannot be sufficiently expressed. I was wounded in the head, and obliged to be carried off the deck, but the service suffered no loss by that event. Capt. Berry was fully equal to the important service then going on, and to him I must beg leave to refer you for every information relative to this victory. He will present you with the flag of the second in command that of the commander in chief being burnt in the L'Orient.
I have the honor, to be, &c.
HORATIO NELSON.

So far London Gazette Extraordinary.




LONDON, Oct. 2.

The above action, took place off the mouth of the Nile, as is stated in the letter from Sir Horatio Nelson to Earl St.Vincent, at sunset on the 1st of August. Its duration is differently stated : according to some accounts, it continued only till three o'clock on the following morning; while, according to others, it lasted during the whole of the day of the 2d, and until the 3d of August. - The French had the advantage in the beginning at the action, of being at anchor, and at annoying our ships as they led into action, before they could come to an anchor; besides the protection which they received from the batteries of guns and mortars on shore, and from being flanked by gun boats. Of the thirteen ships of the line which composed the British force, one ship, the Culloden, of 74 guns, Capt.Trowbridge, ran on shore before the engagement began, and was prevented from getting into action. Our force actually engaged consisted of twelve sail of the line and a 50 gun ship, opposed to that of the French, consisting of thirteen sail, one of which was 120 guns, and four frigates. The British ships anchored close along-side the enemy as they came up.
Capt.Darby, in the Bellerophon of 74 guns, attacked singly the French Admiral's ship L'Orient, of 120 guns, and set her on fire.
The L'Orient had on board 1010 men. Admiral Brueys himself, who commanded her, was shot through the body, and the Captain under him killed, before she took fire. On board this ship was the whole of the treasure taken by the French at Malta, which was very considerable. The number of men on board Le Timoleon, the other French ship was burnt, is stated in the Gazette to be seven hundred; and the crews of L' Artemise frigate, burnt, and Le Serieuse, sunk amounted to five hundred. The total loss of the French is estimated at nearly five thousand; and that of the British, in killed and wounded, amounts to eight hundred and ninety-five.
The engagement took place so near the shore, that thousands were witnesses to it. The Arabs were so rejoiced at the glorious victory, that they illuminated the whole coast for several miles for three successive nights.
The whole of the transports, which accompanied the French fleet to Alexandria had been set on fire by the British fleet, and were burning when the Mutine came away.
The Culloden, which grounded in the beginning of the action, was got off after its termination, and not one English ship was lost.
Admiral Nelson received a severe wound in the head from a splinter; but he states, in a private letter to Lady Spencer, that he is nearly recovered. Though his spirit bears him up, we are, however, extremely anxious respecting him, as he occasionally felt great inconvenience from it. Sir James Saumarez was recovering of his wound, and hoped in a few days to be as well as ever.
Captain Berry is coming home over-land through Italy and Germany, with dispatches from Admiral Nelson.
Several letters have been received from Sir Horatio Nelson, written with his own hand. There is one in particular to Mr.Dundas, giving in a very masterly stile, a view of the probable consequences of his victory, not only to Europe, but to India.
The two frigates that escaped are said to have made for a Turkish port, where they were detained as prizes.
The Guerrier (one of the prizes) being an old ship, Admiral Nelson proposed to destroy it, and to send the others to England, under convoy of Sir James Saumarez, with those of our ships which had suffered most in the action.
Capt.Capel has brought over a variety of important information respecting the landing of the French at Alexandria, and their progress towards Cairo. It is known that they landed 22,000 infantry and 500 cavalry; at Alexandria; and we have heard it stated. from very respectable authority, that not more than 11,000 effective men reached Cairo. Certain it is, that independent of being harassed by the Arabian horse, the French have lost a great number of men by disease, principally from the badness of the water. Gen. Buonaparte was on very bad terms with his officers, who were generally dispirited and out of humour with the expedition. Buonaparte's dispatches to the Directory, are in possession of Admiral Nelson.




SATURDAY'S POST.
From the DUBLIN GAZETTE.
Dublin Castle, September 28th, 1798.

EXTRACT of a letter from Major General Trench, to Captain Taylor, private Secretary to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, dated camp, near Killala, the 24th and 26th instant.
"I have the honor to acquaint you, for the information of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, that previous to my leaving Castlebar, on Saturday the 22d inst. I had ordered Lord Portarlington with the regiment under his command, forty of the 24th Light Dragoons, Captain O'Hara's, Captain Wynne's, and Captain Croston's corps of Yeomanry, to meet me at Ballina, at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, from Sligo. I also ordered the Armagh militia, consisting of above 300 men under Major Acheson, to proceed from Foxford, and co-operate with me at the same hour. I marched with the Roxburgh Light Dragoons, 300 of the Downshire, the Kerry regiment, the Prince of Wales's fencibles, and two curricle guns, with the Tyrawley cavalry, by the Barhague road, and ordered Colonel Fraser, with 300 of his regiment, to march from Newport, where I had detached him on Friday, in order, if possible, to cut off the retreat of the rebels. The forces under Lord Portarlington had been frequently attacked on their march, and Major Acheson was attacked by a large body of the rebels at Foxford. On every occasion they have been dispersed with slaughter.
"On my arrival at Ballina, I found that the town had been evacuated by the rebels, and occupied by the forces under Lord Portarlington, I immediately marched, without halting for this place. At about two miles from the town our advanced guard was fired upon by the rebels Finding that Ballina was in our possession, and hearing that the rebels had retreated to Killala, I ordered the Kerry regiment of militia, with a detachment of the 24th Light Dragoons, the Tyrawley, and Captain Wynne's corps of Yeomanry cavalry, to proceed by a forced march to Killala by Ruppa, which they performed with zeal and dispatch, as they entered the town at one end, as our advanced guard entered it on the other, and maintained a quick and well directed fire on the rebels, who fled in all directions.
"The officers and men under my command behaved with zeal, spirit and activity; and I feel myself much indebted to their exertions. I derived much advantage from fifty men of the Downshire regiment of militia, trained by Major Matthews, as sharp shooters, and who under his command, with a party of Roxborgh Light Dragoons, formed my advanced guard. To Lieut. Col. Elliot, who with forty of the Roxburgh charged the town, I feel much indebted. I must also beg leave to mention in a particular manner, the assistance which I derived from Mr .Ormsby of Gortnoraby, who by his accurate knowledge of the country, through which I passed, and its inhabitants, was of the greatest service. I also owe much to Mr.Orme, of Abbytown, and several other gentlemen in the neighbourhood of the undisturbed country. Upon entering the town of Killala, I proceeded to the palace of the Bishop, who I much feared had suffered from the rage of the rebels, but was happy to find him and his family in safety, but preserved from their violence only by the authority which Charost, the French commandant of the town, possessed over them, but which was beginning rapidly to decline before we arrived, insomuch, that he was obliged to arm himself, and the other four French officers, with a number of carbines, which he delivered up loaded in his room.
"The Bishop, his family, and servants, were all armed in the like manner by him, and served out with ammunition, in order to protect them from the threatened violence of the rebels. At the palace, the head quarters or the commandant, I found 270 barrels of powder.
"September 26th. Having heard late on the night of the 24th instant, that the rebels were assembling in great numbers at a place called the Lacken, I marched yesterday morning in that direction; they fled and dispersed on our approach, but, by the activity of the men several were overtaken, between fifty and sixty were killed, all in arms, and five taken prisoner. Amongst the killed were several in French uniform. I did not return here till nine o'clock last night. The men bore a fatiguing march of fourteen hours with zeal and spirit. Bellew and Burke were hanged yesterday, by the sentence of a general court-martial. Five men came in and surrendered their arms this morning, under the proclamation; I trust their example will be followed by many others.
"P.S. In our different actions with the rebels, they lost between 500 and 600 men. We had but one man killed, and ten wounded."




LONDON, Oct. 4.

The receipt of the brave Admiral Nelson's victory, it is unnecessary to say, occasioned the sincerest rejoicings in every part of the town. The Park and Tower guns were fired, the bells were rung, and a general illumination took place in the evening. But the public spirit of the country is not confined to empty manifestations of pleasure. A subscription for the relief of the widows and children of those brave men who fell, and for such as have been wounded in the engagement, was, on the receipt of the intelligence, opened at Lloyd's Coffee-house, and several thousand pounds were immediately subscribed.- The East-India Company �1000. and the Insurance-Offices �100. each.
Accounts dated the 27th of August, were received this day from Constantinople, that Nelson was off the Island of Rhodes, that he had not destroyed the French transports which were at Alexandria, but had left some of his squadron to prevent their getting away, and had sent to the Porte for bomb-vessels, &c. to enable him to destroy them; that Buonaparte had cut off the heads of above 200 Turks, for rejoicing at the victory over the French fleet; that his troops are very sickly, and that he had expressed his determination of marching into Syria, but it was thought he would be prevented from the want of provisions, &c. Sun.
We rejoice to learn that Ministers are resolved to make our great naval superiority effectual to the renovation of our commerce in the Mediterranean and the Levant: A compact is entered into with the King of Naples, by which the ports of Sicily are to be put into our possession, for the defence of his dominions, and for the purposes of our naval operations in those seas. General Stewart is actually going to take the command, and our troops lately in Portugal are on their way thither. A most critical post will be thus established. The blockade of Malta will be formed and continued without danger to our ships, as they will take shelter in the ports of Messina and Syracuse, and hopes are even entertained that the island will fall into our hands: The first fruits of this victory may be its surrender, and its possession would greatly facilitate the recovery of the Levant trade.
In this view at least, this great event ought to be considered as one of the most valuable, as it certainly is the most shining conquest we have gained. Every man who either has a guinea at stake, or is in hopes, by his industry and exertions, to acquire a stake in the country, ought to feel proud of the elevation which our fleets have given to the British name, and the security they have conferred on the British shores.
Buonaparte issued a proclamation in the Arabic language, on his landing in Egypt, which began in the following words :- In the name of God, gracious and merciful, There is no God but God; he has no Son or Associate in his Kingdom." ! !




Monday's Post. [by Express.]
From the LONDON GAZETTE. Downing-street, October 6.

By advices received from his Majesty's minister at Constantinople, dated Sept. 3, it appears that war has been declared by the Grand Signior against the French; that the French minister, with his whole legation, has been sent to the Castle of the Seven Towers, and that some French merchant ships in the harbour had been taken possession of. The Russian Auxiliary squadron was in sight of Constantinople on that day.
Whitehall, Oct. 6.- The King has been pleased to grant the dignity of a Baron of the kingdom of Great Britain to Sir Horatio Nelson, K.B. Rear-Admiral of the Blue Squadron of His Majesty's fleet, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, stile, and title of Baron Nelson, of the Nile, and of Burnham Thorpe, in the county of Norfolk.- So far Gazette.

Buonaparte's proclamations are published in the unofficial Journals of the 28th ult. Among these we find the proclamation published by him at Alexandria. Of his progress we receive no official account. An address from the late Admiral Brueys to the French sailors, gives an account of an extraordinary victory obtained by him over ten thousand Mamelouk cavalry, whom he had cut in pieces and destroyed : but this circumstance only confirms what we have already stated, on the authority of the intelligence from Constantinople and Vienna, that he had met with considerable opposition on his way to Cairo. From none of the papers are able to collect that he suffered the loss of a single man. The statement of his misfortunes is perhaps reserved till the memory of the recent catastrophe is somewhat faded.

The Gazette of Tuesday last, contains a proclamation for all ships from Philadelphia, to any of the ports in Great Britain to make their quarantine for fourteen days, in consequence of a malignant and infectious disease in the nature of the plague, existing now in that city.

Extract of a letter from Capt.Ball, of his Majesty's ship Alexander, dated Bequier road, mouth of the Nile.
"Before this reaches you, you will have heard of the battle of the Nile, for the particulars of which I refer to Sir Horatio Nelson's public letter. I only received a slight wound by a musket ball taking a piece of flesh from my left check, which will leave a small scar. My ship was engaged within pistol shot of L'Orient when she caught fire, after which I increased my distance from her, but could not get far enough to avoid the dreadful effects of her explosion. She set fire to my ship in four places, and nothing but the most wonderful exertions extricated us from that perilous fate.
My ship has received so much damage, that I have not a doubt but she will be in England in two or three months. With respect to our action, I shall only observe, that the Admiral and Captains had a good opinion of each other before the battle, and now we are more attached than ever. Everyone exerted himself alike.
"The Captains have each subscribed �30. for the widows and orphans of those who fell so gloriously on the 1st of August; and the Admiral has joined, by giving �100. The Captains have likewise subscribed �20. a piece for the purchase of a sword to be presented to Sir Horatio Nelson, - We intend to establish an Egyptian club, to commemorate the glorious first of August."

The Gazette of last week contains an official notice respecting the emigration of artificers and manufacturers from this kingdom, with abstracts from the acts of parliament stating the very heavy penalties for this offence. - These acts subject to a fine of �100. any person who may contract with or entice or solicit any artificers of Great Britain to go out of the King's dominions; and any such artificer exercising any trade in a foreign country, and who does nor return within six months of this date to lose all lands, goods, &c, he may possess in this kingdom and be deemed an Alien.- The other acts enlarge and confirm these provisions imposing in the first instance a fine of �500. and 12 months imprisonment, &c. and also prohibiting under the penalty of �100. the exportation of any tolls, utensils, &c, used in the wool, silk and other trades.




LEEDS, October 8.

THE London Gazette Extraordinary, containing the account of the Glorious Victory of the brave Admiral Nelson over the French fleet, which was received on Thursday morning, threw the inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood into a delirium of joy , every one being eager to shew the pleasure he felt, that news so good, so important to the welfare of this country, was confirmed by a letter which does credit to the head and to the heart of the heroic Commander of some of the bravest seamen in the world ! The bells at the different churches were early ordered to ring, which continued at intervals during the whole day; - about two o'clock the Volunteer Corps of this Borough, commanded by Colonel Lloyd, were drawn out in Briggate, and fired three excellent vollies on the occasion; -after which, by invitation from J. Calverley, Esq; the Mayor, the whole corps retired to Hick's, and drank the King's health, and that of the brave Admiral and his whole fleet. During the morning the Magistrates issued a hand-bill respecting a general illumination, of which the following is a copy:

Admiral Nelson's Victory.

"The Magistrates of Leeds Congratulate the inhabitants on the signal victory which it has pleased God to give to His Majesty's fleet, under the command of Admiral Nelson; and understanding that many of the inhabitants are desirous of illuminating their houses on this occasion, the Magistrates request that the illumination may begin at seven in the evening, and be concluded at ten, they also request that all people win conduct themselves in a peaceable manner on this joyful event, and do no injury to those who from religious motives may abstain from this mode of expressing their loyalty."
In the evening there were bonfires in abundance, and an illumination, which was more general and more brilliant than we ever before witnessed ; and although there were thousands of people parading the streets, to the honor of the inhabitants of this populous town be it known, that we have not heard of any outrage of any kind being committed, the illumination commencing exactly at seven and ending precisely at ten o'clock.
The Leeds Military Association were drawn out on Woodhouse-Moor, on the same occasion, when their Captain Commandant Benjamin Gott, Esq.; after the Corps had fired three excellent vollies, treated them with wine, punch and porter, with cold ham, and other refreshments, in a tent which was pitched upon the Moor for that purpose.
A subscription is opened at the different Banks, in this town, for the relief of the widows and orphans of the brave men who fell, and such as have been wounded in the engagement.- See the advertisement.

On Thursday last, intelligence arriving at Otley of the glorious victory obtained by Admiral Nelson, the Otley Armed Association were drawn out and marched into the Market Place, where they fired three excellent vollies; after which, they were regaled in a handsome manner by their officers.
On Friday evening the inhabitants of the town of Harewood, testified their joy by illuminations, bonfires, &c. on account of the glorious victory gained by Sir Horatio Nelson. - Orders were given by Lord Harewood that the populace should be supplied with liquor from the public houses.- Harewood house was also illuminated and a huge bonfire made in the front of it, round which were sung, God Save the King, Rule Britannia, &c. &c. accompanied by a band of excellent music, who, together with a numerous party from the town, were provided with ale to drink the health of his Majesty and the gallant Admiral.
We are favored with accounts from all the principal towns in the Welt-riding, of rejoicings on the above glorious event, (which are of such a length as to have filled several columns of this paper) but there is such a similitude in the details, that we have thought proper to omit them, to make room for more interesting matter !
The manifestation of the public joy in consequence of Admiral Nelson's glorious victory, (exhibited throughout the whole of this and the adjoining counties,) however great and unbounded it has been, is inadequate to express the heartfelt emotions universally occasioned by that brilliant event.- Whether we consider the very important results of this gallant action, the cool intrepidity of the commander in chief, the bravery and discipline of our officers and seamen, the place where the engagement happened, the previous formidable preparations of the enemy to oppose an effectual resistance to the enterprising and persevering spirit of our navy, or the comparative strength of the hostile fleet, it claims a pre-eminence over every past achievement in that element which is now the undisputed scene of British superiority. In asserting its claim to this high distinction, we must not be understood to mean any invidious allusion to the splendid successes of a Hawke, a Rodney, a Howe, a St.Vincent, or a Duncanl. The laurels which those meritorious officers have so honorably won, have been transplanted into the hearts of their grateful countrymen, and will flourish there as long as the exalted deeds of heroic patriotism shall continue dear to Britons. But Admiral Nelson's victory cannot be compared with any other; it stands ALONE in the naval annals of our country; it is unexampled in its kind. It was not obtained by a display of professional skill superior to that of the enemy - it was not the triumph of masterly manoeuvring over the ignorance of naval tactics. The French were aware of these essential advantages. They have been attacked in the way they expected, and our ascendancy is in every point of view completely established !

The late glorious victory has such an effect upon the mind, that it is yet difficult to think coolly upon it, and to permit the judgement, even for a moment, to contemplate any of the favourable consequences with which it is fraught. As it is pre-eminent even in the naval history of this country, for its daring gallantry and most happy success, so is it important to the present political situation of Europe. It has seemed to us, that most of the continental powers have turned their eyes to the Mediterranean, and viewed, in suspense, the issue of the meeting of the two fleets; and those who thought of purchasing a degrading and precarious peace from France, at the risk of revolution, will now openly and decidedly act as their inclinations, as well as interest, so clearly point out. The Farce that has been acting at Rastadt, we are inclined to think, will now soon draw to a close. The Austrian government will rouse itself, and will indulge the ardent wishes of the people, in a renewal of the war.
The Porte has entered upon hostilities against France, with a vigour and energy which could hardly be expected; and it will now prosecute them with additional spirit. The Emperor of Russia will probably think, that without same exertion on his part, the flame of Jacobinism may extend to his dominions; and he will now most likely perceive that the best mode of crushing its progress will be to take a very active part in the war against the present government of France.
Such are some of the more immediate advantages which may result from the splendid victory that has been achieved by the British arms :-it places Great Britain in a proud situation - the undoubted mistress of the Ocean, and the arbitress of Europe. After the first transports of joy shall be a little calmed, the minds of Britons must be filled with gratitude to Divine Providence; who thus crowns with victory the arms of a virtuous Monarch, and of a brave people, fighting for their independence, their constitution, and their religion. While awful visitations are going forth over the face of the civilized world, this nation has stood firm amidst the shock, almost the sole refuge of the arts and the commerce of Europe, and of every thing that dignifies society, and can make it valuable to man. While the mind is raised by this consoling reflection, let us, with all due humility, think that we may be the favoured instruments, in the hand of Providence, of curbing the arrogance and extirpating the principles of anarchy and atheism, which the French revolution has engendered. We now stand in such a situation of political, as well as moral pre-eminence, that we have only to use our successes with wisdom, to secure every point we can desire. Let us maintain our present petition with firmness and patience, and little doubt can be entertained that a change will take place in France, which must give honourable peace and permanent security to Europe.

Every man in this country may address Admiral Nelson with Shakespeare,
"HORATIO, thou art e'en as brave a man
"As e'er my understanding cop'd withal."
The capture of the French fleet by Nelson, has reduced Buonaparte to the situation of Macbeth -
"There is no going back, nor tarrying here."

We have been favoured with a copy of the general orders of Lord Mulgrave at the breaking up of the camps near the town of Hull, which we have great pleasure in publishing, they are so highly complimentary to the different regiments under his command, and reflect great credit on all the officers and men in those encampments.

General Orders, Camp at Hilston, Sept.28, 1798

"Major-General Lord Mulgrave cannot distribute the troops of the Yorkshire Militia into their winter quarters, without returning his thanks to the officers and soldiers of the different corps, for their constant zeal and attention ever since he has had the honour to command the Yorkshire district. Lord Mulgrave desires very particularly to express to the non-commissioned officers and soldiers his warmest approbation of their uniform and uninterrupted good conduct, which has been truly worthy of the brave and honourable defenders of a free and happy nation: it will be unnecessary for Lord Mulgrave earnestly to recommend a continuance of such meritorious conduct to men who are enjoying the best rewards of it, in the approbation, esteem, and praise of their fellow subjects in the neighbourhood of their respective camps and quarters. Major.General Lord Mulgrave feels confident that every individual of each corps will be cautious of committing any irregularity which may cast a stain upon the clear and unimpeached reputation which they have all maintained - and it will be a source of the truest happiness to him, if the military services of the Yorkshire district should continue to the end of the war, without a single complaint against the troops from any inhabitant. It will always be a satisfaction to Lord Mulgrave to hear that such corps as may, by the calls of the public service, be removed from this district, shall, wherever they go, support the same reputation, and be an honourable example to their fellow-soldiers."

To the Printer of the Leeds Intelligencer.
Raby-Castle, Sept.28th
SIR,
As I conceive that there are many anxious friends and relations of the officers, non-commissioned officers and privates of the Princess of Wales's Light Dragoons under my command, now serving in Ireland, I have much pleasure in stating in this public manner and in conveying to them thro' the channel of your paper, that I left the whole regiment in perfect health and spirits the end of the week before last, quartered in different cantonments in the county of Kildare.
I have also the greatest satisfaction to add, that during the whole of the Rebellion I have only to regret the loss of two men, viz. Serjeant Murray, of Major Lynn's troop, and Thomas Moody, private in my own troop, who fell after a gallant resistance against a very powerful body of the Rebels.
It is no small gratification to me to add, that the regiment has justly merited more commendation than it is in the power of my pen to bestow upon them, as well from their activity and courage in the field, as from their attention to duty and general good conduct in quarters.
I request you, Sir, to insert the above in your paper for the information and satisfaction of those who feel any interest for the whole or any part of the regiment.
I am Sir, Your obedient, &c.
DARLINGTON. Colonel.
