came in sight of the enemy, when after a brief conference between the Governor-General, the Commander-in-Chief and General Littler an order was given to advance to the attack. Our report is almost exclusively of the proceedings of the two Regiments above mentioned. They formed line and advanced to within 30 yards of the trenches under a most exterminating fire.

Col Bruce of the 12th and Capt. Holmes were shot down, and Capt. Powis' horse was shot: the leftwing of the 12th advanced up to the guns when the 62d were sent retiring in obedience to orders. At this time Lieutenant Tulloh of the 12th was shot through the face, and Capt Nicolson fell also, not 30 yards from the enemy. The 8th Light Cavalry and 3d Irreg. Horse were repulsed in a charge on the guns. About 140 men of the 12th with the fol- towing Officers, Capt Abbott, commanding, James Ferris, William Ferris, Hall, Dunlap, Scott, Ewart, (wounded in 2 places) Jackson and Macleod

rallied with the colours. The action lasted all night, and until 4 a. m. next morning, when by mutual consent there was a cessation, but at day break the fight was renewed and lasted till 3 P. M. of the 224. Many old Queen's Officers say, that no such heavy fire was ever kept up so long and with such carnapé. Our loss was fearful--the encmy's it is ea not less than 20,000 killed and wounded in the two days fight! The $3 Dragoons did wonders and are cruely cut up. In 10 minutes the 12th lost 80 men. *20 of these were of the Light Company. Brigade Major Egerton's life is despaired of, but Colonel Bruce who lost his arma is doing well. The regiments have all suffered most takenat from 200 to 650 per regiment. The enemy severely,and the average of the European loss may be
