GENERAL ORDERS.
His Majesty's Ship Audacious,
18th January, 1809.
The irreparable loss that has been sustained by the fall of
the Commander of the Forces, _Lieutenant-General_ SIR
JOHN MOORE, and the severe wound which has removed
_Lieutenant-General_ SIR DAVID BAIRD from his station,
render it the duty of _Lieutenant-General Hope_ to congratulate the
Army upon the successful result of the action of the 16th instant.
On no occasion has the undaunted valour of British troops ever been
more manifest. At the termination of a severe and harassing march,
rendered necessary by the superiority which the enemy had acquired,
and which had materially impaired the efficiency of the troops,
many disadvantages were to be encountered.
These have all been surmounted by the conduct of the troops
themselves; and the enemy has been taught, that whatever advantages
of position or of numbers he may employ, there is inherent in the
British officers and soldiers a bravery that knows not how to
yield,--that no circumstances can appal,--and that will ensure
victory when it is to be obtained by the exertion of any human
means.
The Lieutenant-General has the greatest satisfaction in
distinguishing such meritorious services as came within his
observation, or have been brought to his knowledge.
