. when, on the throwing up of a rocket,

they wore to commence tiring upon the

enemy s line, which at the same mo

merit was to be attacked with the main

of our army.

'Jn this manner wasonepartof the force

to act, while the rest were thus appoint

cd. Dividing his troops into three col

umns, sir Ldward directed, that gen. Kean, at the head of the 95th, the light companies of the 21st, 4th, and 44th, together with the two black corps, should make a demonstration, or sham attack upon the right; that general Gibbs, with the fourth 21st, 44th, and 93d, should force the enemy's left, while general Lambert with the 7th and 43d remained in reserve, ready to act as circumstances might require. Cut in storming an entrenched position, something more than bare courage is required. Scaling ladders and fascines Had, therefore, been prepared, with which to fill up the ditch and mount the wall; and since to carry these was a service of danger, requiring a corps well worthy of dependence, the 44th was for that purpose selected, as a regiment of sufficient numerical strength,

and already accustomed to American

warfare. Thus were all things arrant

ed on the night of the 7th, for the 8th,

was fixed upon as the day decisive of the

late ot iNew Orleans. "Wuilst the rest of the army, therefore, lay down to sleep till they should be roused up to fight, colonel Thornton with the Gatu,aud a corps of marines and seamen, amounting in all to 1400 men, moved down to the brink of the river. .As yet, however, no boats had arrived; hour after hour elapsed before they came; when they did come, the misfortunes which I have stated above were dis

covered, for out of ail that had been or dered up, only a few made their appear

auce. Still it was absolutely necessary

that this part of the plan should becarri ed into execution. Dismissing, there fore, the rest of his followers, the colo

nel put himself at the head of his own re

giment, about fifty seamen, and as many

marines, and with this small force, con

sisting ot no nore than 340 men, pushed

off. But, unfortunately the loss of time

nothing could repair. Instead of reach ing the opposite bank, at latest by mid night, dawn was beginning to appear be

fore the boats quitted the canal. It wa

in vain that they rowed on in perfect si

lence, and with oars muffled, gaining

the point or debarkation without being

received. It was in vain that they made good their landing, and formed upon the beach without any opposition or alarm; day had already "brk, -and the single rocket was seen in the air, while they were yet four miles from the batteries, which ought hours ago to have been taken. In the mean time the main body armed and moved forward some way in front of the pickets. There they stood waiting for daylight, and listening with the greatest anxiety for the firing, which ought now to be heard on the opposite

bank. But this attention was exerted in vain, and day dawned upon them long before they desired its appearance. Nor was sir Edward Packenham disappointed in this part of his plan alone.

Instead of preceiving every thing in readiness for the assault, he saw his troops in battle array,. indeed, but not a ladder or fascine upon the field. The 44th, which were appointed to carry them, had misunderstood or neglected their orders; and now headed the column of attack, without any means being provided for Crossing the enemy 's ditch, or scaling his rampart. Tiie indignation of poor Packenham

on this occasion may he imagined but

soon reached the ditch, but to scale tin-

parapet without ladders, was impossible. Some few, indeed, by mounting one upon another's shoulders, succeeded in entering the works, but these were instantly overpowered, most of them killed, and the rest taken; while as many stood without were exposed to a sweeping fire, which cut them down by whole companies. It was in vain that the most ob

stinate courage was displayed. They fell by the hands of men whom they abso

lutely did not see; for the Americans,

without so much as lifting their faces

above the rampart, swung their tire

locks by one arm over the wall, and dis

charged them directly upon their heads."

W hem the subaltern relates incidents

which he himelf witnessed, we cannot

doubt his authority; but as he was en

gaged on the opposite side of the river

with colonel i nornton, we should ra

ther follow the notes of his comrade as

to the main attack. After detailing, as

another has done, the misconduct of co

lonel Mullens, (whom, however, he vindicates from the imputation of personal cowardcie,) he srates that at day break Gibbs gave the words to advance from tiie ground, where, within musket shot of the lines, the troops had halted for the fascines and ladders. "We advanced at double quick time, but we had scarcely proceeded a hundred yards when the most dreadful fire

of grape and musketry was opened upon

us at one moment a regular lane was

cut Irom front to rear of the column. (I

afterwards found it was from the dis

charge of a thirty two pounder, loaded

to the muzzle with bags of musket balls.)

I will not deny that the regiment was thrown into confusion ; but there was no

sign of fear, at least I saw none, except

indeed that the men in front commenced firing. I endeavored to stop it; but before 1 knew where I was, I found myself in the enemy's ditch, immediately under the fatal battery this was in some respect a good position; and if the reserve

commanded him instantly to return with bis regiment for the ladders; but the opportunity of planting them was lost, and though they were brought up it was enly to be scattered over the field by the frightened bearers. For our troops were by this time visible to the enemy. A. dreadful fire was accordingly opened

upon them, and they were mowed down by hundreds, while they stood waiting for orders. 'Seeing that all his well laid plans vrere frustrated, Packenham gave the word to advance, and the other regiments, leaving the 44 f h with the ladders and fascines behind thpm rushed on to the assault. Oa the left a detachment1 of the 95th, 21st, and 4ih, stormed a three gun battery and took it. H -re they remained for some time in the ex-j

pectation of support; but none arriv

ing, and a strong column of the enemy

forming for its recovery, they determin

ed to anticipate the attack, and pushed on. The battery which they had taken

was m advance of the body of works, be

ing cut off from it by a ditch, across

which only a single plank was thrown. Along this pi k did these brave men attempt to pi s; but being opposed b overpowering numbers, they were repulsed; and the Americana, in turn, forcing their way into the battery, at length succeeded in re-capturing it with immense slaughter. On the right, again, the 21st, and 4th being almost cut to pieces, and thrown into confusion by the enemy's fire, the 03d pushed on and took
