the Guards and a detachment of the 95th Rifles; in this command he charged a detachment of Hutch troops, taking some
officers and upwards of a hundred men prisoners. In 1811 he joined the Brigade of Guards in Portugal; and in September

he was detached in command to Idanha Nova with his ow n Brigade and some cavalry to observe the movements of a corps
of the enemy commanded by Gen. Foy, at Coria. Upon Lord Hill joining the main body of the Army at the commencement
of the Campaign of 1813 ,he w as engaged in the several actions of Vittoria, of the Pyrenees, of Paropeluna, in which action

commanded by Marshal Soult: in this action he had a horse shot under him. On the 14th Feb. at the commencement of
the Campaign of 1814, he was engaged with the Hear Guard of the enemy at Espellette; and on the following day was
employed in the attack of the heights above Garris. He was in the subsequent actions of Orthes and Aire; and he repulsed
the enemy at Garlin. He was alsoengaged with his brigade at the battle of Toulouse. He commanded a Brigade of Guards
at the battle of Waterloo ; and commanded the first corps of the British Army from Waterloo to Paris,—took the fortified
