The Painting is 25 feet wide, by 22 feet high, divided into two Compart-
ments; the upper describing the Victory of the Garrison, and in emoment
of their triumph, a display of humanity, that highly exalts the British Cha-
racter; it is composed of three large groups; that on the right contains the
Portraits of the principal British and Hanoverián Officers, of the size of
life, who are assembled on the Rampart (the Action being over) to view the
dreadful scene which ensued from the battering Ships being set on fire. LORD

LA MOTTE and GREEN; pointing to StR RooER CURTIS, and a detach-
ment of British Seamen, who, at the hazard of their own lives, are rescuing
their vanquished enemies from destruction. Several of the seamen are seen
at the stern of one of the battering Ships, striking the Spanish Ensign
whilst others generously relieve a number of the unforttnate Spaniards from a
sinking wreck : these form a second group, on the left. The third group
occupy the centre, where a number of the enemy are representer in extreme
distress, endeavouring to escape from a floating battery that is enveloped in
flames. At a distance is a view of the Camp of the Allied Army, and the head
quarters of the DUKE DE CRILLON. In the under Compartment is repre-
sented the Relief of Gibraltar, by the British Fleet, under the command of
