surrounded by five times their own numbers, were detained prisoners in America. The battalion companies of the regiment, which had remained in Canada, were not involved in this occurrence. In the several actions between the Americans and the troops under Lieutenant-General Burgoyne, the flank companies of the THIRTY-FOURTH had a number of men killed and wounded; also Captains Harris and Ross, and Lieutenant Richardson, wounded. The battalion companies furnished a detachment of one hundred men, for the expedition to the _Mohawk_, under Brigadier-General Barry St. Leger. This detachment was engaged in the unsuccessful siege of _Fort Stanwix_. [Sidenote: 1778] The THIRTY-FOURTH Regiment formed part of the force to which the protection of Canada was confided during the remainder of the American war, which was terminated in 1782, by a treaty of peace, in which the independence of the United States was acknowledged. [Sidenote: 1782] A letter, dated the 31st of August, 1782, conveyed to the regiment His Majesty’s pleasure that it should assume the title of the THIRTY-FOURTH, OR CUMBERLAND REGIMENT OF FOOT, and that a connection and mutual attachment between the corps and that county should be cultivated, in order to promote the success of the recruiting service. [Sidenote: 1786] [Sidenote: 1787] The regiment remained in Canada until 1786, when it was relieved, and returned to Europe. In 1787 it was stationed in England. [Sidenote: 1792] [Sidenote: 1793] [Sidenote: 1795] On the breaking out of the French revolutionary war, the establishment of the regiment was augmented. In 1793 a British army proceeded to Flanders; but the THIRTY-FOURTH remained in Great Britain until the middle of February, 1795, when they embarked for the West Indies. Previous to this date the revolutionary principles, which had involved France in anarchy and crime, had extended to the French West India islands; but the planters of these colonies had been delivered from the power of the republicans by a British armament, under General Sir Charles (afterwards Earl) Grey; the THIRTY-FOURTH Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Dickens, proceeded to St. Lucia, which island had been captured from the French in April, 1794.
