In 1805 he embarked for the
expedition on the Weser, but
was wrecked olf the coast of
Holland and made prisoner of
war. In 1806 he sailed with
hisregt. on the secret expedi¬
tion which eventually proceed¬
ed to Buenos Ayres, and was
engaged in the attack on that
city in July 1807, as also in all
the skirmishes which took place
before and after that battle.
After the unsuccessful result

panied his regiment to Walcheren, and was
present at the successful attack on the French
outposts at Flushing, driving them within the
fortress : on the 7th August he commanded the
line of out-picquets in front of Flushing when
the French made their most desperate sortie,
against which he held his ground against a
very superior force; on this occasion he lost a
leg. He has received the Silver War Medal
with three Clasps for Roleia, Vimiera, and
