Three-pounders-24 round shot. 1 barrel of reed tubes. 3 ten-inch. General Remarks.-The above is the most correct return that can be given at present. There are likewise many guns mounted and dismounted, some spiked, and others unserviceable, not included. There are many shot and shells in different places, not included, being scattered about the country. There are many guns and stores on the batteries, which were taken possession of by the troops on the south-east part of the Island, which are not included. The rapid manner in which the troops advanced not affording a sufficient time to take an account of them. There is likewise a considerable quantity of powder and other stores in the magazine at St. Pierre's, which as yet have not been examined or reported to me. T. PATERSON, Lieutenant-Colonel, His Excellency Sir Charles Grey, K. B. Whitehall, April 16, 1794. A LETTER, of which the following is an Extract, was this Day received from Major-General Williamson by the Right Honourable Henry Dundas, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, dated King's-House, Jamaica, March 2, 1794: IT being judged that the Post of L'Acul, about six miles from Leogane, at the extremity of the Plain of Leogane, should be taken, Lieutenant Colonel Colonel Whitelocke made a very proper disposition of his troops; and on the night of the 18th ultimo, detached two hundred Colonial troops, with one fieldpiece, and some of the British artillery; they were embarked on board two transports, and were to land at five o'clock the next morning. Lieutenant-Colonel Whitelocke marched at four o'clock on the morning of the 19th with the flank companies, artillery, two howitzers, two field-pieces, and about fifty of the Colonial troops of all colours. Captain Vincent, with the flank company of the 49th, and one hundred and twenty Colonial troops, took a mountain road, which led to the opposite flank upon which the detachment of Colonial troops was to commence the attack. Lieutenant-Colonel Whitelocke advanced with the main body just within cannon-shot of the fort to cooperate with the detachment; but from the mismanagement of one of the transports, and an unfavourable wind, the troops could not land. Lieutenant-Colonel Whitelocke drew his artillery back a little, which the enemy perceiving, a heavy fire of musketry commenced from a wood on their right, which was instantly silenced by a corps commanded by Major Spencer. All this time four guns fired incessantly from the fort, but fortunately did little execution. Lieutenant-Colonel Whitelocke finding that he could not have any assistance from the troops that were embarked, determined at once to storm the post. He ordered some refreshment for the men, and sent away the howitzers. About half-past four P. M. Major Spencer was ordered, with two flank companies, to join Captain Vincent, to advance and fire on the fort, which he did according to a signal given, and LieutenantColonel Whitelocke advanced in front under the fire of two guns loaded with grape, and a heavy fire of musketry. They ascended the hill, which was ren 02 dered dered as difficult as possible by trees placed in all directions, gallantly pushed on with fixed bayonets, and drove the enemy from their works. Many of the enemy were killed; and had the Colonial corps been landed, not a man would have escaped. The garrison was supposed to consist of about six hundred men, commanded by a white man of the name of De Lisle, who had served in the late King's time, and is said to have murdered, or caused to be murdered, near three hundred white persons. Lieutenant-Colonel Whitelocke speaks in the highest terms of both officers and men; and particularly of Major Spencer, Captain Smith, of the royal artillery, and Lieutenant M'Kerras, of the engineers. I have the honour to send herewith returns of stores, and of the killed and wounded: and I have to lament the death of Captain Morshead, who gallantly entered the work, and was blown up by a quantity of combustible matter, which was set fire to by one of the brigands, who also perished in the explosion. Captain Morshead had received a wound in the body before, but that did not prevent his going on. The attack was so spirited that the garrison had not time to carry off any thing.
