t( In consequence of this information
and rcquell, 1 ialfantly dispatched an
officer; and next day (being the 14th)
followed with the troops and two field
pieces. On my arrival found the Brit
ilh garrison gone and Lieut. Elmer in
pofieffion of the fort. Immediately I
landed the detachment and artillery and
marched in, the music playing the Pre
sident’s march ; and under a federal sa
lute, displayed the flag of the United
States from the citadel.
“ With pieafure I mention that the
British commandant left the barracks
and every other building clean, and in
the belt order they would admit of: and
we feel ourselves much indebted to Capt.
Clark and Lieut. Fothergill, for the ex
cellent order in which they lert their
gardens filled with vegetables and fruit.”
