JOSEPH MARRYAT, Esq. in the Chair, Read, from the London Gazette of the 7th of May, a letter from Lieut.-General Sir William Myers, Bart. commanding His Majesty's troops in the Windward and Leeward Islands, to Earl Camden, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, inclosing a letter from Brigadier-General Prevost, Governor of Dominica, relating to the vigorous and gallant resistance made by the troops and militia under his command, against the very superior force with which the French landed at Roseau, on the 22d of February last; his retreat to the fort at Prince Ruperts; and the resolution he expressed, in answer to the summons of General Lagrange, of defending it to the last extremity; in consequence of which the enemy abandoned the enterprise, and evacuated the Island. Resolved, That a Sword of the value of 100_l._, and a Piece of Plate, of the value of 200_l._, with appropriate inscriptions, be presented to Brigadier-General Prevost, for the distinguished gallantry and military talents he displayed on that occasion, by which the sovereignty of the Island was preserved to His Majesty's arms. That a Sword of Fifty Pounds value, and a Piece of Plate, of the value of 100_l._, with appropriate inscriptions, or that sum in money, at his option, be presented to Major Nunn, wounded while faithfully executing the orders of General Prevost, "Not to yield to the enemy one inch of ground." That a Sword of 50_l._ value, and a Piece of Plate, of the value of 100_l._, with appropriate inscriptions, or that sum in money, at his option, be presented to Captain O'Connell, whose wound did not induce him to forego the honour of the command to which he succeeded on Major Nunn being disabled; and in which he resisted the repeated charges of the enemy, notwithstanding their great superiority in numbers, till he obliged them to retire with great slaughter. That the sum of 100_l._ be presented to Captain Colin Campbell, wounded. That the sum of 40_l._ each be given to the men whose wounds have been attended with disability or loss of limb. That the sum of 20_l._ each be given to the other men severely wounded. And the sum of 10_l._ each, to the men slightly wounded, including the Militia of the Island. That Brigadier-General Prevost be requested to advise the Committee of the mode in which the Resolutions respecting himself, Major Nunn, and Captain O'Connell, can be most acceptably carried into effect--to distribute the sums voted to the men wounded, and draw for the amount--furnishing the Committee with the names of the parties, and the sums respectively paid them--and to forward to the Committee the best information he can procure respecting the families of the men killed, including the Militia of the Island, that relief may be afforded to such widows, orphans, and aged parents, as depended upon them for support. JOSEPH MARRYAT, Chairman. * * * * * (Copy.)
