Although his name was inserted in the duplicate of that despatch, I fear this omission cannot now be rectified, which I am sorry for, as Captain Ripley is a very zealous Officer, and I have frequently derived benefit from his public services. In the battle now referred to, he attended me in the field, and received my thanks for his conduct. am, &c. I W.
