My letter of the lUh of August will have acquainted their Lordships of my waiting in the Chesapeake, for the arrival of Mal-colu, with'the expedition from Bermuda.

An attack upon an enemy so strongly posted, could not be effected without loss.

I have to lament that the wounds received by Colonel Thorn ton, and the other officers and soldiers loft at Bladensberg, were such as prevented their removal, As many of the wounded as could be brought off were removed, the others being left with medical care and attendants, The arrangements made by Staff Surgeon Baxter for their accommodation have been as satisfactory as" circumstances would admit of. The agent for British piisoners of war, very fortunately residing at Bladensberg, I have recommended the wounded officers and men to his particular attention, and trust to his being ahle to effect their exchange hen sufficiently recovered.

Cochrane and myself, to disembark the army at the village of Benedict, on the right bank of the Patnxent, with the intention of co-operating with Uear-rAmiral CoCKr in an attack upon a flotilla of the enemy's gun-tjoatSj under the command of Commodore Barney, On the $Oth instant, the army commenced its march, bovjng landed the previous day without opposition on the 21st it reached Nottingham, and on the 22d moved ou to Upper Marlborough, a few miles distant fsom Pig Point, on the Patuxent, where Admiral CocKauaN fell in with and defeated the flotilla, taking and destroying the whole. Hav, ing advanced to within sixteen miles of ton, and ascertaining the force of the enemy to be such as might authorise an attempt at carrying his capital, I determined to make it, and accordingly put the troops in movement on the evening of the 23d, A corps of about 1200 men appeared to oppose us, but retired after firing a few shots, On the 24th, the troops resumed their march, and reached Bladensberg, a village situated on the left bank of the eastern branch of the Potowmack, about five miles from Washington. On the opposite side of that river the enemy was discovered strongly posted on very commanding heights, formed iu two his advance occupying a fortified house, which, with artillery, covered the bridge over the eastern branch, across which the British troops had to pass. A broad and straight road leading from the bridge to Washington, ran through the enemy's position, which was carefully defended by artillery and riflemen. The disposition for the attack being made, it was commenced with so much impetuosity by the light brigade, consisting of the 85th light infantry and the light infantry companies of the army, under the command of Colonel Thorntov, that the fortified parting from you at Benedict, on rV Crossing the bay ny rne acuvuy unn vigilance 01 me lenarr nn Hips' boats.

After a march ot oetwecn tour and hve miles 111 the Country, we found the enemy posted 00 a plain, surrounded by wood-, with the camp jn tiieir rear; they were drawn up in line, alii nerfectJv any to receive us; a single moment Svllivas (the senior commaiwUr occasion) and Bapcock the second uuder vnvi, Mie nurd, under Cu w.ms.y the whole under the supcrintent'-i-c; immediate management of Captain Wkix the Tonnant, Ueutenant James Scott ft Albion) attending as my Aid-de-Camn. I endeavoured to keep with the boats aad lc as nearly as possible abreast of the army jor-Gencrai Ross, that I might communis him as occasion offered, according to the planp, viously arranged; and about this afforded a pretext for ascending that river to attack him near its source, above Pig Point, while the ultimate destination of the combined force was Washington, should it be found that the attempt might be made with any prospect of success, Xo give their Lordships a more correct idea of the place of attack, I scud a sketch of the country upon which the movements of the army and navy are pourtntyed ky it their Lordships will observe, that the best approach to Washington is by Port Tobacco, upon the Potowmac and Benedict, upon the Patuxent, from both of which are direct and good roads to that city, and their distances nearly aiiko: the roads from Benedict divide about live miles inland the one by and Bladensbnrg, the other following the course of the river, although at some distance from it, owing to the creeks that run up the couutry this last passes through the towns of Nottingham and Marlborough to Bladensburgh, at which town the river called the Eastern Branch, that bounds Washington to the eastward, fordalde, and the distance is about ftrc miles. There arc tYO bridges over this river at the city but it was not to be expected that the enefny would leave them accessible to an invading army. Previously to my entering thePatuxent, I detached Captain Goiiocjaf, of his Majesty's ship Seahorse, with that ship and the ships and bombs named in the margin, tz.

(Kuryulus, Devastation, xEtna, Meteor, Manly, and Erebus), up the Potowmaok, to bombard Fort Washington (which is situated on the left bank of that river, about 10 or 12 miles below the city), with a view of destroying that fort, and opening a free communication above, as well as to cover the retreat of the army, should its return by the Bladens-burg road be found too hazardous, from the accession pf Strength the enemy plight obtain from Baltimore it was also reasonable to expect that the militia from the country to the northward and westward would flock in, so soon as it should be known that their capital was threatened. Captain Sir PtTtit Parker, in the Menelaus, with some small vessels, was sent up the Chesapeake, above Baltimore, to divert the attention of the enemy ill that quarter, aud I proceeded with the remainder of the nava- force and the troops up thi river, nnd landed the army, upon the 19th aud 20th, Benedict. So s- on as the necessary provisions and stores oouid be asmbled and arranged, IViajor-General Hqss, with his anny, moved towards Nottingham, white our flotilla, consisting of the armed auuehes, pinnaces, barges, and other boats of the fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Cock born, passed up the river, being instructed to keep uou the light Hank of the army, for the double purpose of supplying it with provisions, and, if necessary, to nass it cu-L-oruingiy ancnorcu at the ferrv boose opt Lower Marlborough, where I met the Gene where the army halted for seme hours, after he marched for Nottingham, aud I proc reded v-a not to be lost: by a smart fire, and jnstant charge, we commenced the attack, iorced them from their position, pulling them before us, in ull retreat to the rear of their ar-tillerv, where they again made a stand, shewing a disposition -to outfl ink us on the rijlit; a movement was instantly made by 'Lieutenant Pearce's division to force them from that quarter; fUid it was at this time, hile animating his men in the most he-j-riic 'manner, taat. Pprfc Parker received his mortal wOand, which obliged him to quit the field, and he expired in a few irunute. Lieut.

Jearce, ith hudivision, soon routed the en 'my, while that under ray command gaiued and passed ihe camp. One of the field-pieces was momentarily in our passes-ioii, but obliged to quit it from superior numbers. The marines, under Lieutenants Beywon and Poe, formed pur centre, and uever was bravery more conspicuous. Finding it impossible to close pp the erwJmy from tle rapidity of their retreat, having pursued them upwards of a iuije. 1 deemed it prqdeni to retire lwartis the beach, which was efieatcd in the be'-t possible order, taking with us from the field tvventy-five of car W(tinded, the whole we could find, the enemy not even attempting to regain 'the ground they had lost; from three prisoners (cavalry taken by us, we learnt their force amounted tq 50J mihiia, a troop of and five pieces of artillery, i since by flajjs of truce, I am led to bejieye theif uum-Jer nuic.st gMJater.

Jn support of the light brigade I ordered up a brigade under the command of Col, Brooke, who, with the 44th regiment, attacked the enemy's left, the 4th regiment pressing his right with such effect as to cause him to abandon his guns. His first line giving way, was driven sn the second, which, yielding tp the irresistible attack of the bayonet, and the well directed discharge of rockets, got into confusion and fled, leaving the British masters of the field.

The enemy's army, amounting to eight or nine thousand men, with three or four hundred cavalry, was under the cc imand of Gen. Winder, being former of troops drawn from Baltimore and Pen sylvania. His artillery, ten pieces of which fell into our hands, was commanded by Commodore Barney, who was wounded and taken prisoner. The artillery I directed to he destroyed.

Having halted the army for a short time, I determined to march upon Washington, and reached that city at eight o'clock that night, Judging it of consequence to complete the destruction of the public buildings with the bast necessary delay, so that the armyr might retire without loss of time, the following buildings were set fire to and consumed the Capiiol, including the Senate-house and House of Representation, the arsenal, the dock-yard, treasury, war-office, President's palace, rope-walk, and the great bridge across the Potawmac: in the dock-yatd a frigate pearly ready to be launched, and a silop of war, were consumed. The two bridges leading to Washington over the eastern branch had been destroyed by the enemy, who apprehended an attack from that quarter. The object of the expedition being accomplishedj I determined, before any greater force of the enemy could be assembled, to withdraw the troops, and accordingly commenced reiiring on the night of the 25th, On the evening of the '29111 we reached Benedict, and re-embarked the following day.
