OFFICIAL ACCOUNT
Of the re capture of Buenos Ayres.
From the London Gazette, January 2-].
[Concluded.^
I inclose a copy of the capitulation,
and, I trust the high and independent lan-
guage in which it is couched, and the terms
dictated by general Beresford, to an officer
at the head of myriads of people, will do him
infinite honor in England and obtain for
him his majesty's most gracious approbation
of his conduct.
I have received, and annex a return of
the killed, wounded, and missing, by
which it appears, that there are two officers,
two sergeants, one drummer, forty-three
rank and file, killed ; eight officers, seven
sergeants, ninty-two rank and file wounded i
and nine missing ; making a total of 165 j
and scarce any of those misfortunes were
occasioned except from the inhabitants on
the tops «f the houses and the churches.
The enemy confess to have lost about
700 killed and wounded, in the short con-
flict in the streets; and if it had not been
for the inhabitants, I have little doubt that
the Spanish troops would have been com-
pletely defeated, although seven times the
number of the British forces.
Nothing is more difficult than to give
their lordships an idea of the number of men
in arms ; but from the best accounts we
can obtain, it is thought Pueridon, and the
other principal people engaged in this plot,
had collected from eight to 10,000 men in
the country ; that Liniers may have brought
over from 800 to 1,000 ; and the town
furnished, though armed in various ways,
about 10,000, under the secret arrangement
of the magistrates.
When every vessel that could escape from
Buenos Ayres had joined, 1 proceeded to-
wards Ensenada, to ret ire the detachment with
of marines ; lieut. Groves, of the Diadem,
was obliged to quit the Belera schooner, as
she would not work out ; one gun boat and
a settee, a prize, were also left in the bar
hour, with the Justina, a small English
merchant ship that had followed the expedi-
tion from St. Helena. Capt. Thompson, of
theNeptune, whowasint.iecastle, was made
aprisoner, andlieut.Burgh, of theRaisonable,
with Mr. Ramsay, a midshipman and seven
men, who were in the sette, as her boats
could not hold them. Lieutenant Herrick,
in the Dolores, the other armed schooner,
worked out in a manner which, coupled with
his conduct on the whole of .this business,
does him great credit.
On the i3th, in the morning, the detach-
ment of marines, under the .command of
lieutenant Swaile, was embarked from En-
senada, and his two Spanish field pieces
spiked and thiown into the river.
On the i4th, I sailed for this anchorage,
where I arrived the following da_y, and im-
mediately addressed the governor of Monte-
Video on the subject of our troops.
On the 16th, in consequence of receiving ;
by colonel Linier's aid-de-camp, a letter from
general Beresford, I dispatched two of the
transports to Buenos-Ay»es, where one ar-
rived on the s7th, but from the prevarica-
tion of the governor of Monte-Video, in
the first instance, and his subsequent dis-
honorable conduct, no troops have yet been
embarked.
Whilst I had the honor of being onboard
the Leda I had every reason to be satisfied
with the zealous attention of captain Ilony-
raan, his officers and ship's -company ; and
I cannot but express my extreme approba-
tion of the conduct of all *he officers and
seamen who were constantly employed in
the small vessels, and being under almost
every privation, in the very severe and try-
ing weather, which we experienced the last
ten days.
I most sincerely regret, however, that
my situation has imposed on me the painful
duty of making this report to their lordships,
especially as it is done principally by mate-.
rials collected from different people, which
they probably, in many instances, deduced
from vague and uncertain conclusions ; if,
however, it should hereafter appear that I
have failed in any instance to do ample jus-
tice to the conduct, energy and prbwes of
general Beresford, and the officers & soldiers
under his command, it has been owing to
the limited scale of my communications
since the i2th, from the extteme jealousy of
the enemy, and not from any indisposition
to appreciate their merits in the most liberal
manner ; a sentiment which I have held on
every occasion, and publicly marked it in all
my former dispatches.
I have the honor to be, &c.
II. POPHAM.
Diadem, Rio de la Plata,, Oct. 9.
Sir, on the 5th instant, off Lobes, we
fell in with the Rolla, having a detachment
of the 28th on board ; she sailed from the
Cape, in company with the Melantho,
which wa6 to the westward of her. I took
the troops out of the Rolla, and sent her to
Rio Grande, for the purpose of purchasing
any flour or biscut, and ascertaining whe-
ther any quantity of the latter could be baked
there.
On the 6th we returned to this ancho-
rage, where we found the Protector, with
the Adamant and Columhine transports,
having on board detachments, of the 38th,
cularly requested T w< ulcl detain her till rre
arrival of the-Lancaster, as colonel B.ick-
house was a senior lieutenant colonel to
himself, and succeeding adventitiously to
the command of the army, lie would natu-
rally be desirous of making a report to the
Duke'of York of the state of his force, and
the arrangements he had made.
The weather was so hazy,, and the cur-
rent so strong to the southward, that the
Lancaster did not join till the 12th in the
evening. On the following day, as it ap-
peared to me that the commanding officer
of the troops intended to make his first at-
tempt on Monte Video, and was anxious
to see that place, I directed captain Rawley
to take all the transports to Flores Bay, and
proceeded on the 14th off Monte Video,
and then to Flores, where we arrived oa
the the 15th, in the morning.
From the 10th to the 27th, it blew so
hard, that nothing could be attempted. . On.
the 28th, in the morning, the wind was
easterly, and every circumstance as favora-
ble as possible, to try the experiment ; and
as the pilots assured us a flat ran off from the
rocks ot the town for a mile making precis-
ly the same water along side of them as at
that distance, I ordered captain Edwards,
who very handsomely requeued to remain
till the experiment.was tried, and to com-
mand the leading transport, not to attend to
the ostensable orders in leading down in.
in three fathom water, but to haul in
till he had small quarter less three,
to ascertain whether the flat really run off
as described, or not. Captain Edmonds
will explain the circumstance fully to their
lordships : he anchored as near the shore
as he could for the safety of the frigates, and
then was only within random shot, and
therefore I would not let the Leda go down
a second time ; for unless the ships could
have got well within point-blank shot, there
was no chance of making a breach for the
army to land in town. Although the ene-
my fired for more than an hour on our ships
in consequence of their being but little
wind I am happy to inform you that only
one man was wounded.
I now saw it was impossible to get close
enough in to make any breach in the south
wall with men of war, I proposed to colo-
nel Bickhouse to take Maldonado, which
I should have attempted early in the winter
if the marines had not been left at Busuos
Ayres.
Maldonado is an excellent harbor, where
the fleet can water, and get bullocks, which
now really become very necessary to recruit
our men.
The island Goretti, which forms the har-
bor Maldonado, is very strong, and after
the troops are landed to take the village,
and the batteries on the sea coast in reverse,
I shall propose to take the island by the na-
vy, provided it does not surrender to my
summons.
' I have the honor to be, &c.
HOME POPHAM.
Diadem, Maldonado, harbor, Uto
de la Plata, Oct. 30, 1806.
Sir, I consider it right to take possession
of the harbor of Maldonado, as a safe an-
chorage for the ships now in the river, and
those expected to arrive independent of the
supplies which that district could so abund-
antly furnish us with.
I therefore request that you will inform,
my lords commissioners of the admiralty^
that the moment I satisfied brigadier-gene-
ral Backhouse of the expediency of the
measure, no time was lost in moving pait
of the 38th regiment so the Leda and Me-
dusa, when they accompanied tlie Diadem,
to this place.
The frigates anchored about 5 o'clock yes-
terday evening, to the westward of the wester-
most battery; andcaptainllonymaninformed
me by the telegraph, that the beach was
smooth, and that the debarkation could be
easily covered.
At six the troops from the Diadem assem-
bled along side the Leda, and a landing
was immediately effected, without any op-
position ; but as I thought it possible that
the enemy might have a greater force than,
he shewed on the hills, and as the nearest
transport was yet some distance from the
roads, I ordered the marines of the Medusa,
and a company of blues, from each ship ta
be landed to support tlie army, who enter-
ed, and took possession of the village of
Maldonado before eight o'clock.
This morning I sent a summons to the
fortified island of Gorreti, which forms this
harbor, and I enclose, for their lordships'
information, a copy of it, with the command-
ant's answer, and my reply, which was ac-
companied by an assurance, through lieut.
Wiseman, of the Diadem, who was em-
ployed on this service, that I would not
hold any further communication with hint
until his majesty's colors, which I sent for
that purpose, were hoisted on the fort.
This preposition was acceded to, and the
Spanish prisoners were immediately em-
barked, consisting of one captain, two lieu-
tenants, one ensign, and 104 men.
Gorreti is a very strong position, defend-
and the Diadem victuler. I lost ho time I ed by 20 twenty-four pounders, in four bat-
