Tho casualties have not ret been ascertained. A man of the fu.-ileers employed as a hospital orderly came in under a (lag of truco with a letter frotu tho survivors of the column, who asked for assistance to bury the dead.

"Wuilo we can fcrra no uccurato conclusions from tho meager press d;spat lies, yot it is undoubtedly a fact rhat tho Irisii fusileers and tho Gloucester must have been literally cur to pieces, for they would not have surrendered until they were all down. Both of tho commands liavo most excellent reputations as brave lighters and they would not have given up had there been any possible chance to light their way through. A strong proof of this is tho message sent to General White for assistance to bury the dead This shows that thore was a large number of casualties and that the force lmd beeu greatly weakened by tho Are of tho enemy.
