The French in their attack on Point Michell had lost over 300 men, andin selecting that spot for landing they had displayed a most astonishingignorance of the locality, for, if a force had at once been put ashorebetween Point Michell and Fort Young at Roseau, the British could hardlyhave ventured upon a serious defence. The loss sustained by the Britishregulars was 21 killed, 21 wounded, and 8 prisoners. The loss of themilitia is not stated, but was considerable, the French accounts fixingit at... 200. The following despatch addressed to Earl Camden, K. G. , one of HisMajesty's Principal Secretaries of State, by Lieutenant-General SirWilliam Myers, Bart. , commanding the troops in the Windward and LeewardIslands, gives the official account of this affair: "BARBADOES, _March 9th, 1805_. "MY LORD, "I have the honour to enclose to your Lordship a copy of a despatch from Brigadier-General Prevost, dated Dominica, 1st of March, 1805. The details contained therein are so highly reputable to the Brigadier-General and the small portion of troops employed against so numerous an enemy, that I have great satisfaction in recommending that their gallant exertions may be laid before His Majesty.
