On the 25th Dec. the regiment disembarked at Deal, marched to Braebourn-lees Barracks, and wa again brigaded with the 68th and 85th Regiments.

On the 8th May 1810, the 71st marched to Deal Barracks, where every exertion was continued to render it fit for active service. Here the regiment sustained a great loss in its gallant LieutenantColonel, Pack, who was appointed a Brigadier in the Portuguese army, under Sir William Beresford.

Nothing of moment occurred until the early part of September, when the regiment received an order to hold six companies in readiness for foreign service; they were prepared accordingly.

On the 14th Sept. the six companies embarked in the Downs, on board the Melpomene and St. Fiorenzo frigates; and disembarked at Lisbon on the 26th September.

The greatest exertions were now made to complete the companies in field equipment, bât mules, &c. &c. which being effected, the detachment marched from Lisbon on the 2nd Oct. to Maffra, where it was shortly afterwards joined by Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. H. Cadogan, who assumed the command, and Lieut.-Colonel Peacock returned to the second battalion. The detachment being ordered to join the army, (then retreating before Marshal Massena,) marched from Maffra on the 8th, and on the 10th joined the army, under Lord Viscount Wellington, at Sobral, and was brigaded with the 50th and 92nd Regiments, under Sir William Erskine, and placed in the first division under Lieut. Gen. Spencer.

The army having retired into a position in rear of Sobral, that place was occupied by the 71st, having for its support the 50th and 92nd Regiments, and Gen. Cameron's brigade.

On the 12th, the pickets were violently attacked by the enemy's advance, and retired skirmishing; in the mean time, the town was ordered to be evacuated, and the pickets having joined, the 71st took up a position on the outside, and within musket-shot of the town. The detachment had 8 men killed and 34 wounded.

In this position the regiment continued, when, on the 14th, it was again attacked with the greatest impetuosity, and charged with the bayonet; the enemy were completely repulsed with very considerable loss in killed and wounded, and chased to the spot from which they made the attack, both parties resuming their original positions.

A soldier of the sixth company, named John Rea, behaved on this occasion in the most gallant manner, and particularly distinguished himself, for which he received a silver medal.

On the 15th, the regiment was ordered to withdraw into the position at Zibriera, a continuation of the lines of Torres Vedras. In this celebrated position, which bade defiance to the French army, the troops were constantly on the alert, and occupied in rendering it as strong as circumstances would admit, and in observing the motions of the enemy. The French General did not think proper to attack the British army in this stronghold, and wasted away his time in reconnoissances and demonstrations, until compelled through want of provisions, and consequent sickness of his troops, to abandon his designs, and retire to a position in his rear: this object he finally effected in a masterly manner in the night, between the 14th and 15th Nov. followed by the allied army; both armies thus evacuating positions on which the eyes of all Europe had been fixed, and which they had occupied in the presence of each other for a period of one month.

The division in which the 71st was placed advanced by the route of Alinquier, Minho, Novo, Cartaxo, Atelaya, and Almoster, and halted in and about the latter place from the 20th to the 26th of Nov. inclusive; the enemy, in the mean time, retired to an extremely strong position at and in the vicinity of Santarem, where he halted, although threatened by Lord Wellington, who, after some manœuvring, took up a position immediately in the enemy's front, having his head-quarters at Cartaxo, and the different corps of the army cantoned in villages. The brigade to which the 71st belonged occupied Alquintrinha.

The regiment remained here quartered in a convent until the beginning of March 1811, when the brigade advanced and took up quarters in the small town of Albergaria, on the frontiers of Spain. On the 30th April, the regiment again moved forward, and on the 3rd and 5th of May was severely engaged with the enemy at Fuentes D'Onor, where one-half its number was killed or wounded. KILLED-Lieuts. John Cowsell, William Wouston, and John Graham; Ensign D. J. Kearns. WOUNDED-Capts. Peter Adamson and M'Intyre; Lients. William M'Craw, Robert Law, and Humphry Fox; Ensigns Charles T. Cox, John E. Vandaleur, and Lewin.

After this sanguinary conflict, the regiment marched, on the 16th May, to camp at Albuera, through Badajos and Talavera Real; the 71st arrived at Albuera a few days after the battle, which had been the cause of the rapid movement of the brigade. In the latter end of May, the regiment marched to Elvas, and from thence to Toro de Moro, where it encamped.

At this place a draft of 350 men, with a proportion of officers, arrived from the second battalion, which, from the severe loss the corps sustained at Fuentes D'Onor, was much wanted.

About the beginning of July, the 71st marched to Borba, for the purpose of co-operating with the besieging army before Badajoz; but on Soult's raising the siege, it again took up an encampment at Portalegre, and from thence to Castello de Vido, a small town about two leagues from Portalegre. On the 22nd of Oct. information was received that an enemy's force under Gen. Girard was collecting contributions and raising supplies in Estremadura. The brigade, (the 50th, 71st, and 92nd,) was

The French troops were here under the necessity of eating their horses and asses.

moved off in the direction of Malpartida and Alcuesca, but on the 28th of Oct. halted within a league of Arroya de Molina, in which the French were lying.

The necessary arrangements having been made, the brigade marched at twelve o'clock at night, and at daybreak was close to the town: the regiment had been with the cavalry and horse artillery during this march as an advanced guard.

The brigade was now told off in three divisions, and entered the town, and each division taking a different street, drove the enemy before them at the point of the bayonet, who shortly after surrendered.

The result of this decisive affair was nearly 3000 prisoners, 1000 horses, and 6 pieces of cannon. The 71st now returned to Portalegre, where it remained until the campaign began in January 1812. In the latter end of February 1812, the 71st received orders to march, and during the spring months were chiefly employed in marching, and making reconnoissances between Merida and Almandralejo, and halted at Albuera; from thence it was ordered back to Almandralejo. In the beginning of May it marched to Almaraz, where two forts commanded the bridge over the Tagus, and intercepted our supplies: here the regiment arrived on the 10th; the attack was ordered; escalading parties were told off; the ladders were served out; and the forts were taken, after a short, but obstinate resistance. In this affair, Capt. Lewis Grant was killed; and Lieuts. William Lockwood and Donald Ross, and Ensign Colin Mackenzie, wounded.

The 71st Regiment then moved forward to the village of Almaraz, and after assisting in the destruction of the place, forts, &c. encamped there for the night; next morning it moved back to its old quarters at Almandralejo. At this place the defeat of Marmont at Salamanca was heard of. Lieut. Joseph Barralier, of the regiment, was there severely wounded, while serving with the Portuguese

army.

In the beginning of June, the 71st proceeded to Albuera (by Zafra), where it arrived on the 16th June; here it encamped, and in the beginning of July, marched to Aranjuez, (by Llerenha and Villa Franca,) where it remained as part of a corps of observation, watching the movements of the enemy, and constantly skirmishing, and from thence to Alba de Tormes, where a severe skirmish took place with the enemy's advanced posts. The corps next marched to Robleda, Coria, and Porto Banzes; here the battalion was farther increased by a draft of 150 men from the second battalion : it remained at Porto Banzes until the commencement of December, when it marched to Boho, where it relieved the 50th Regiment. Here it remained during the winter and following spring, in an efficient and disposable state for the next campaign.

Early in the month of May 1813, the brigade was put again in motion, and advanced as far as the vicinity of Vittoria, by Salamanca and Burgos: it encamped here on the 20th June, the night previous to the sanguinary, but decisive battle of Vittoria. The battalion on that evening's parade stood nearly 1000 men under arms, headed by Colonel the Hon. Henry Cadogan. The next night nearly half that number, with their brave and lamented commander, were killed or wounded.

On the morning of the 21st, the regiment received orders to advance and get into their position, which, on this occasion, was on the right of the army, and almost immediately afterwards were warmly engaged with the French during the day.

In this battle, the glorious result of which is so well known, the 71st bore a distinguished part, but its loss was most severe.

KILLED Colonel the Hon. Henry Cadogan, Commanding; Capt. Henry G. Hall; Lieut. Colin M'Kenzie and Humphrey Fox.

WOUNDED-Major Charles Cother; Capts. Samuel Reid, Joseph Pidgeon, and William A. Grant ; Lieuts. Alexander Duff, Loftus Richards, William Edward Torriano, John M'Intyre, Norman Campbell, Thomas Commeline, and Charles T. Cox.

In recording the names of the officers of the 71st who fell on this occasion, that of the Hon. Henry Cadogan deserves particular notice. He fell, mortally wounded, while leading his men to the charge; his first request was to be carried to an eminence, from which he might have a last and farewell view of his regiment and of the field. He earnestly inquired if the French were beaten? On being told by an officer of the regiment who stood by him, and supported him in his last moment, that the enemy was giving way at every point, he replied, "God bless my brave countrymen!" and immediately expired, beloved and lamented by his officers and soldiers.

The regiment encamped the evening of the battle on a height above Vittoria, and next day marched to Pamplona, where it remained some days. In the beginning of July, it again advanced, and on the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th of that month, had some smart skirmishing with the French on the Pyrenees. The regiment still advanced, and on the 25th July had again the good fortune to take a distinguished part in the very severe action of the Puerta de Maya.

On this occasion, the 71st suffered very severely in men and officers.
KILLED Lieut. Alexander Duff.

WOUNDED-Major Maxwell M'Kenzie; Capt. William A. Grant; Lieuts. William Peacock, Thomas Park, Anthony Pack, John Roberts, and William Woolcombe.

On the 29th, 30th, and 31st of the same month, it was again engaged in brisk skirmishes with the enemy at La Sarsa and Douna Maria, where Capts. Leslie Walker and Alexander Grant were wounded.

In the beginning of August, the French army began to retire, followed closely by the British. The regiment marched next to Roncesvalles, and entered France by Maya, from thence to Cambo, where it halted on the 14th of November.

On the 9th Dec. following, the 71st bad its part in forcing the passage of Nive River, and four days afterwards was closely and warmly engaged with the enemy, who attacked Lord Hill's division in a very spirited manner: here it again suffered severely. The enemy was completely defeated.

The regiment here had-KILLED-Lieut. Colonel Maxwell McKenzie; Lieuts. Charles Henderson and William Campbell.

WOUNDED-Capts. Robert Barclay and William A. Grant; Lients. John W. M'Intyre and William Edward Torriano.

After this action, two companies remained in the rear, for the purpose of assisting and bringing up the numerous wounded.

Towards the end of December, the 71st arrived at Urt, and on the 21st and 27th of Jan. 1814, bad smart skirmishes with the enemy in that neighbourhood. St. Hillette, St. Jean Pied du Post, and St. Palais, (the 71st still advancing,) had constant and severe skirmishes with the enemy's rear guards on the 13th and 14th of July, and from that time until the 25th, had frequently brushes with the French.

On the 27th of the same month, the battalion was again engaged at the general battle of Orthes; and a few days afterwards, suffered very severely in action at Aire. Lieut. James Anderson was here killed, and Lieut. Henry T. Lockyer wounded.

On the 20th March, again engaged at Tarbes, Lient. Robert Law wounded; and on the 10th April, at Toulouse, which town was evacuated and surrendered.

The British now entered Toulouse, from which the regiment shortly afterwards marched to Bourdeaux, in consequence of intelligence having been received of the abdication of Buonaparte, and of the re-establishment of the Bourbon family on the throne of France, and after sixteen days' march, it encamped on the plains of Blanguefort, near that place, from whence it proceeded to Polleac, and on the 15th July, embarked for England on board of His Majesty's Ship Sultan, 74.

The 71st arrived at Cork on the 28th July; and on the 1st Feb. 1815, again embarked for foreign service. It formed part of an expedition destined for North America ; the transports were detained some time in harbour by contrary winds, when peace having been made with America, the object of the expedition was given up, and on the declaration of war against Buonaparte, who, having returned to France, again appeared at the head of a powerful army, its destination was changed. The transports now sailed for the Downs, where they arrived on the 21th March, and on the 22nd April, the regiment disembarked at Ostend.

From that town it marched to Luize, where it was brigaded with the 52nd Light Infantry and the second battalion of the Rifles (then the 95th Regiment); the whole composed the light brigade, and was commanded by Major-Gen. Sir Frederick Adam, K.C.B. belonging to the division of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Henry Clinton. On the 16th of June, the brigade advanced, and took up its position in the line covering Brussels. On the 18th, the regiment maintained its well established character in the hard fought and decisive battle of Waterloo. At this action, the result of which proved so glorions to the British arms, the regiment suffered severely, and had the following officers killed and wounded.

KILLED-Brevet-Major Edmond L'Estrange, and Ensign John Todd. Lieut. John R. Elves died of his wounds.

WOUNDED Colonel Thomas Reynell; Lieut.-Colonel Arthur Jones; Capts. Samuel Reid, William A. Grant, Donald Campbell, and James Henderson; Brevet-Major Charles Johnston; Lients. Robert Lind, Robert Law, Joseph Barralier, Carrique Lewin, John Roberts, James Coates, and Adjutant William Anderson: besides 11 serjeants, 2 buglers, and 185 rank and file killed and wounded.

After the battle, the brigade advanced; on the 6th July entered Paris, and encamped in the Champs Elysees. On the 30th Oct. the 71st marched to Versailles, and in the month of December to Viarmes. In December, the second battalion, then quartered in Glasgow, was reduced, and the effective officers and men transferred to the first battalion.

The brigade marched to the Pas de Calais in January 1816, in which part of France the 71st was cantoned in several villages, having its head-quarters at a village on the high road from Calais to Dowai. The regiment formed part of the Army of Occupation until the latter part of October 1818, when it embarked at Calais for England.

The 71st continued in England till April 1822, when it was ordered to Ireland, and from thence, in June 1824, it embarked for North America, where it is now serving.

We regret that we are prevented by our space from here introducing the numerous most flattering General Orders and Testimonials of this distinguished corps which are in our possession.

Here a draft of 134 rank and file joined from Scotland, with Lieut.-Colonel Jones, Capt. Henderson, two Lieutenants, and two Ensigns.

MEMORANDUM OF THE SERVICES

OF THE 65TH REGIMENT,

IN INDIA AND ARABIA, FROM 1800 UNTIL 1822.

In the latter end of the year 1800 this regiment sailed from England for the Cape of Good Hope, under the command of Major George Maddison, and arrived there the 14th Feb. 1801.

On the peace of Amiens it received orders for Madras, and early in Sept. 1802 the grenadiers and one battalion company with bead quarters, under Lieut.-Colonel Maddison, embarked for Ceylon, where it arrived on the 3rd of November. These companies served in the first Candean war, and suffered severely, both by the sword and the climate, having buried 77 men whilst in that island.

In May 1803, the remaining eight companies, commanded by Major Richard Stewart, arrived at Bombay, and were immediately sent to the northward to protect Surat from the threatened inroads of the Mahratta chief, Jeswant Rao Holkar, and four companies under Major Richard Stewart were detached in the middle of the monsoon against the Hill Fort of Paneira, which surrendered as soon as the force had established itself on the crest of the hill. At the breaking up of the rains the regiment suffered much from sickness.

During the war with Dowlet Rao Scindia the regiment composed part of Colonel Murray's division of Sir Arthur Wellesley's army, and was employed at the close of this year against the refractory chieftain Connajee, in the Guicwair territory, and suffered from the climate and marching during the hot season. In June of this year there were 21 men buried in the course of one day's march, and six more the following one.

In the middle of 1804, after the peace with Scindia, the 65th was again employed against Holkar, and was at the capture of that chief's capital, " Indore," and suffered much from the severity of the monsoon, part of the camp having been swept away by the inundations on the banks of the Lipparab, near Ougin.

In the commencement of 1805, the 65th having traversed the greatest part of Hindoostan, formed a junction with Lord Lake's army, then before Bhurtpore, and was at the two last assaults on that fortress, where it had 11 officers, 17 serjeants, 2 drummers, and 143 rank and file killed and wounded, being more than one half of the number then doing duty.

From this camp it went to Dhalpore, thence to Jeypore, and subsequently, in pursuit of Holkar, through the northern Rajpoot states, until that chief was driven out of Hindoostan, when it retraced its steps and returned into cantonments near Surat in 1806, after being joined on the way by the two companies from Ceylon, having buried within the three years since its arrival in India 489 men, including 40 killed at Bhurtpore.

In 1808 the 65th was brought to Bombay for the purpose of proceeding with Colonel Malcolm's embassy to Persia, which was afterwards countermanded, but in 1899 it was selected to form part of a force ordered to the Persian Gulf against the Jowassomie pirates, under Lieut.-Colonel Lionel Smith, its commanding officer. This expedition arrived at Muscat the 23rd Oct. and, in conjunction with the Imaum's troops, landed at the chief pirate posts on both sides of the Gulf of Arabia and Persia, particularly Rasal Khyma, Shinaas, and Luft, and after several recontres with the Jowassomies and Wahabees, finally succeeded, with some loss, in destroying all their maritime towns, forts, boats, and vessels of every description.

In this service, the 65th had one officer, Capt. Dansey, killed; four officers, Capt. Digby, Lients. Harvey, Taylor, and Warren, wounded, and 19 rank and file killed and wounded.

In 1810, this Regiment formed part of the Bombay division of the expedition sent against the Isle of France, under Lieut.-Gen. Sir John Abercromby, and had its share in all the operations in that capture.

The 65th returned to Bombay in April, and was employed next year on an expedition again under Lieut.-Colonel Lionel Smith, sent against the refractory Chief of Nownngger, in the Kattywar, which ended in the surrender of the fort, (after a practicable breach had been made,) and the entire submission of the whole of the states in that country.

In 1814, it composed part of an army of observation assembled in Guzerat, pending the result of the operations of the Bengal army in the war with the states of Nepaul, and in 1815, formed part of the expedition under Colonel East, which, traversing the Kattywar country a second time, was the first British force that ever crossed the Ran, and entered Cutch, which, after taking the Fort of Anjar, moved on to Booj (the capital), and forced the Raja to submit to the terms imposed on him. The Regiment suffered much from sickness this year, and amongst the casualties there were three Captains and one Lieutenant.

In October 1816, the 65th was sent to the Deccan, where it was employed immediately in the force under the command of Colonel Lionel Smith, to the northward of the Godavery, and on the borders of Kandish, to check the inroads of the Pindaries; and in April 1817, it was employed in a most harassing pursuit of Trimbuckjee-Danglia, the Pieshwa's late Minister, who was raising the country against the British authority, and the same year against the Pieshwa himself, being part of the light division, which, under the immediate command of Colonel Smith, on the 8th May, closely invested the city of Poona, and compelled his Highness to enter into a new treaty with the British Government.

• Major R. Stewart died suddenly the 7th June, when the command devolved on Major J. B. Garston.

In the close of the same year, whilst Brig.-Gen. Smith's force was occupying a position in advance on the borders of Kandish, to co-operate with Sir Thomas Hislop in the combined operations against the Pindaree tribes, the Brigadier-General was suddenly obliged to return by forced marches upon Poonah, having received information of a treacherous attack made by the Pieshwa's whole army, upon the British brigade stationed there, on the 5th Nov. after having burnt the Residency, and compelled Mr. Elphinstone to join the Camp. Brig. Gen. Smith's force joined the Poonah brigade on the 13th Nov. after having been much harassed by the enemy in attacks on the baggage the latter days of the march; and on the evening of the 16th, a division was formed, under Lieut.-Colonel Milnes, of the 65th, which crossed the Beema, in the face of the Pieshwa's whole camp, and after sustaining a loss of 80 killed and wonnded, compelled him with all his army to abandon the city to its fate, which surrendered next morning.

The 65th formed part of Brig. Gen. Smith's light division, during the entire war, and pursuit of the Pieshwa, which lasted without intermission for six months, during which time it marched over 2300 miles, in the vast tracts of country between the Kishna and Godavery rivers, which were repeatedly traversed in every direction; often surrounded by thousands of the enemy's horsemen, who could not be brought to action farther then partial skirmishing. During this interval, the battle of Gopel Ashtee was fought the 20th Feb. 1818, in which Brig.-Gen. Smith was wounded, and Bappoo Gokla, the Pieshwa's General, Prime Minister and Adviser, was killed, and the Sattarab Raja and family taken, or rather liberated from confinement. The fate of this day tended considerably to accelerate the termination of the war. The Pieshwa surrendered to Brig. Gen. Sir John Malcolm in May. In October 1818, the force marched towards Bejapoor and the Kishna, for the purpose of settling the newly conquered country. On this march we suffered severely from the Cholera: the 65th lost the Adjutant, Lieut. Ward, and 9 men, from it, and the other corps in proportion.

In January 1819, the 65th were brought again to Bombay, to join a force collecting for a second expedition to Kutch, for which place it embarked at Bombay, and landed in that country in March, and acted the principal part in the escalade of the Hill Fort of Booj, at daybreak on the 25th March. The escalading party was commanded by Brevet-Major Digby, who received the thanks of MajorGen. Sir W. Grant Kerr, and favourably mentioned in his general orders on the occasion, as well as Capt. Wilson, and other officers of the 65th detachment. This service being accomplished, the 65th returned to Bombay, and in October of this year, embarked 750 rank and file on a second expedition against the pirates in the Persian Gulf; Lieut.-Colonel Milnes, C.B. having the command of the first brigade; that of the regiment was retained by Major Nathaniel Warren, who held it for the two previous years. Major-Gen. Sir William Grant Kerr commanded the expedition; the service lasted four months, during which the 65th were active in the capture of Ras-al-Khyma, the Hill Fort of Zyah, &c. in which it lost one officer (Ensign Matheson), and seven rank and file killed; and two officers (Capt. Clutterbuck and Lieut. Stepney), and 33 non-commissioned officers, rank and file, wounded; and again returned to Bombay in March 1820. It had not, however, been long in quarters, when again called on service by the Scindians threatening to invade Kutch; in consequence, 300 of the 65th, under Brevet-Major Digby, sailed to reinforce the troops assembled in that quarter, and where they remained until matters were adjusted.

The inhabitants of Okamandel having countenanced piracy, and resisted the authority of the Guicwar Government, a force, under Lieut.-Colonel Stanhope, was then crossed from Kutch, (of which Major Digby's detachment formed a part,) for the purpose of punishing those rebels; and took up a position before their principal place, Dwarka, a fortified town, defended by strong towers, and a oclebrated pagoda of some strength. On the 25th Nov. this Chief, evading all means of adjustment, preparations were made, and the place stormed next morning at daybreak. The troops were formed in three columns, (one led by Brevet-Major Digby, 65th,) and escaladed at three separate points. They all received much praise in division orders for their gallantry on this occasion.

The 65th had one man killed, and one officer, Lieut. Cassan (arm amputated); and ten men wounded. This detachment joined head-quarters the 21st December.

In consequence of almost the entire destruction of a detachment of the Company's troops in November of this year by the Beni Boo Ali tribe of Arabs, in the province of Jablan, the Bombay Government promptly decided upon sending a force to retrieve affairs in that quarter, and which embarked early in January, under Major-Gen. Lionel Smith, C.B. and Major N. Warren, of the 65th, commanding the second brigade, which, on the 2nd of March, sustained (with the 7th Bombay Regiment), the spirited attack made by the whole of the enemy's tribe under their Chiefs, and which ended in their entire overthrow with great loss, and the occupation of their fort the same evening; making the whole of the survivors prisoners. Upwards of 300 lay dead on the field, 240 were made prisoners, (96 of whom were wounded,) besides 561 women and 447 children. In the above attack, the 65th bad four men killed (three officers, Lients. Madden and Cuppage, and Ensign John Mulkin), and 33 men wounded. The Native Regiment had one European officer and 21 Natives killed; 2 European officers and 122 Natives wounded. During this short, but arduous service, the command of the Regiment devolved on Brevet-Major Dunlop Digby: it returned to Bombay the 25th March, which closed a long series of active and harrassing services in the East.

In the beginning of this year, the 65th received intimation of its return to Europe, after an absence of nearly twenty-two years; Brevet Lieut.-Colonel N. Warren in consequence resigned the command, which he had held with little interruption for nearly six years, to the senior Major, P. Dumas, and exchanged into the 47th Regiment.

The volunteering of the men to other corps commenced the 24th June, and finally closed the 29th
