" He was just going to abandon the mountain, when a " brigade of the seventh division, led by General Barnes, Digitized by VjOOQIC 48 RECORD OF THE 1813. " arrived from Echellar, and charging, drove the French " back to the Col de Maya."* The Marquis of Wellington's despatch to Earl Bath- urst, thus describes the affair : — San EstevaUy August Isty 1813. " Notwithstanding the enemy's superiority of numbers, " they acquired but little advantage over these brave " troops, during the seven hours t...hey were engaged. " All the regiments charged with the bayonet ; the " conduct of the 82nd Regiment, which moved up with " Major-GeneralBames's Brigade (consisting oftheSOth, " 71st, and 92nd) is particularly reported. It is im- ^* possible that I can extol too highly the conduct of " Major-General Barnes and these brave troops, which " was the admiration of all who were witnesses of it." The loss of the 82nd in this combat of Maya was one sergeant and seven rank and file Jcilled; Colonel Grant, Captains Firman and Marshall, Ensign Lacy, seven sergeants, and sixty rank and file, uxmnded.
