 Light Company under Captain G, and detachment of the 8th, or King's Regiment, under Captain C; and Royals acting with them, also a party of Incorporated Militia, by whom the brunt of the Action was for a considerable time sustained, and whose loss has been severe. To the advance under Lieutenant Colonel P, consisting of the Glengary Light Infantry, under Lieut. Colonel B; a small party of the 104th under Lieut. Colonel D; the Incorporated Militia under Lieut. Colonel R, and detachments from the ist, 2d, 4th and 5th, Lincoln Militia, and 2d, York, under Lieut. Colonel P, 103d ; the Lieut. General offers his warmest thanks. They are also due to the Troops which arrived under Colonel S during the action, viz., the ist or Royal Scots, under Lieut. Colonel G, 8th or Kings, under Major E; 103d regiment under Colonel S, flank compauy 104th, with the Norfolk, Oxford, Kent, and Essex Rangers, and Middlesex, under Lieut. Colonel Hamilton.

The admirable steadiness and good conduct of the 19th Light Dragoons under Major L, and of the detachment of Royal Artillery under Captain M, are entitled to particular praise ; the latter officer having been badly wounded, the command of the Artillery devolved to Captain M, with whose gallantry and exertions Lieut General D was highly pleased. Sergeant A who directed the firing of the Congreve Rockets, deserves very great credit. To the Officers of the general and of his personal Staff, to Captain H Aid-de-Camp to Major-General R{{small-caps|iall}, Lieutenant-General D feels himself greatly indebted for the assistance they afforded him.

He has to lament being deprived (by a wound early in the action) of the services of Major General Riall, who was most unfortunately made Prisoner, whilst returning from the Field, by a party of the enemy's Cavalry, who had a momentary possession of the Road. —

Lieut. General Drummond has also to regret the wounds which have deprived the corps of the services of Lieut. Colonel Morrison 89th Regiment, and Lieut. Colonel Robertson of the incorporated Militia. In the fall of Lieut. Moorsom of the 104th Regiment, serving as Deputy Asst. Adjutant General, the service has lost a gallant, intelligent, and meritorious young officer.

The Lieut. General and President has great pleasure in dismissing to their homes the whole of the Sedentary Militia who have so handsomely come forward on the occasion, confident that on any future emergency, their Loyalty will be again equally conspicuous — He will perform a grateful duty in representing to His Majesty's Government, the zeal, bravery, and alacrity with which the Militia have co-operated with His Majesty's Troops.
