and the Oifjmch a 22 gun-brig, ai rived
off Stonningtou, and a flag was lent on

On board Hit Mycjly’s ship )
Ramilies, off Stonnington, >
Aug. 9,1814. I
TO THE MAGISTRATES OF ONMJCTOW.
Gentlemen— One hour is allowed you
from tf.e receipt of this communication, for
removal of the unoffending, inhabitants.
T. M. HARDY.
This notification was two
magistrates, and Lient. Hough of the draft
ed militia, who went off to meet the flag.
The officer was asked whether a flag would
not be received on board. He said no ar
rangements could be made. They enquir
ed whether Commodore Hardy had deter
mined to destroy the town. He replied
tfrat such were his orders from the Admi
ral, and that it would be done mod effec
tual v.
When the gentlemen reached the shore,
a crowd waited witlrgreat anxiety for the
news; which being Rated, con tier nation
flew through the town. An express was
dispatched to General Cufliing at New-
London. A number of volunteers batten
ed to collett ammunition; others rail to
the battery, (which confitted of two 18
pounders and a 4 pounder, On field car
riages, with a flight breast work, 4 feet
higiw) The Tick and the aged were re
moved with- bade; the wcrmerAnd chil-’
dren with loud cries were seen running in
every direftion. Some of the mott. valua
ble articles were hastily got off bv land,
and others priced- in the gardens and lots,
or thrown into wells, to save them from
impending conflagration. Thefixtv min
utes expired, but the dreaded moment did
not bring the attack. Nelfoifs favorite
hero and friend, was seized with the coni
punftionsftf magnanimity; he rememlier
ed that something was due to the charac
ter of Sir Thomas, M. Hardy. Three
hours in faftelapfed, when at 8 in the even
ing the attack was commenced by the dis
charge of (hells from the bomb (hip: sev
eral barges and launches had taken their
Rations in different points, front whence
they threw congreve rockets, and carcasses.
This mode of attack continued inceflantly
till midnight; and the fire was returned
occasionally from the battery as the light
of the rockets gave opportunity, with-any
chance of success. ‘The few drafted mili
tia, which have been fbmetime stationed
there under command of L.ieut. Hough,
Were placed in the fe-fl direftions to give
an alarm in case a landing fliould be at
temped. During the night t|ie volunteers
and militia had affernbled in considerable
numbers; and the non-combatant inhabit
ants had generally removed to the neigh
boring farm-houfes, in the momentary ex
pectation of feeing their abandoned dwell
ings in flames. It was a night of incx
prelfible anguish to many a widow and or
phan, to many aged and infirm, whose lit
tle pittance they were now apparently to
loose forever. But Providence direfted
otherwise; this compaft little village of
100 buildings had been for four hours cov
ered with flames of fire and bomb-shells,
and not a Angle building was consumed
nor a person injured.
At the da\yn of day on the 10th, the
approach of the enemy was announced by
a difeharge of Congreve Rockets, from
several barges and a launch which had ta
ken their Ration on the eatt lidAof the
town, rind out of reach of the battery.—
Several volunteers with small arms and
the four pounder, hattenec across the point,
supposing the enemy were attempting a
landing. Col. Randall, of the 13th regi
ment, who, at the time was moving to
wards the battery with a detachment of
Militia, ordered them to afiift the volun
teers in drawing over one of the 18 poun
ders to the extreme end of the point; the
sere of which in a tew minutes compelled
the barges to seek safety in flight.
ing tliis time the brig was working up to
wards the Pointy and soon after fun-rife
carnet® anchor, fliortofhalf a mile from
the battery, (or more correttly tbe breast
’ work.) Our ammunition being toon ex- j
iiaufled tbe guns were spiked, artd the men !
tought them, being only about 15 or
ao, retired, leaving them behind for want
of strength to drag them off.
The brig now continued deliberately to 1
pour her 52 pound fbot and grape into the
V illage, without our having the power of
returning a (hot, for an hour, & the Bomb- |
Ketch occasionally thjjew in (hells. A 1
frefh supply of ammunition being obtained,
the 18 pounder was drawn from the hreaft
Work, the vent drilled and the piece takep j
back bgain,, when such an animated and j
well directed fire was kept up; that at 8
o’clock the brig flipped her cable and haul
ed off, with her pumps going, having re
ceived several (hots below her water line, I
and considerable damage in her spars, &c. .
During this between the 18 pounder j
and the brig, Mr.fFrederick Denifon was i
flightlv wounded in the knee by a fragment
o( a HSck, and Mr. John Miner, badly
burnt in his face by the premature dis
charge of a. gun. The flag which was j
nailed to the matt was pierced . with seven I
* fliot holes, tile breast work fomewhat’in- •
jurrd and 6 or 8 of the dwelling houfrsin j
the vicinity essentially injured. At this
time a cortliderabltsbody of militia had ar
rived, and Brigadier General lftiam, had
taken the command: the inhabitants had
recovered from tbe con derivation of the
fii-ft moments ; and were deliberately mov
ing off their furniture and goods. An
DVlock the Ramifies andßaftolus had ta
/ ken Rations about two and an half roifes
ifam tbe town; when lefillaate appearing
*
| hopeless, tbe magistrates as a last ref trt ap- I
plied to the General for p-rmiffioQ to fend
| a flag off, being impreifed with'the opinion
* that there mutt exifl feme latent came of
* a peculiar nature to induce a commander,
■ who had heretofore diftinguiflied hPbfelf
’ for a scrupulous regard to the claims of
honorable, warfare, to induce him to com
mit an aft lb repugnanc to found policy,
so abhorrent to his nature, so flagrant an
outrage on humanity. The General, we
ITndecftand, would notfanttion, nor did he
abfolutcly prohibit a fl g being fetit.—
They therefore on their own responsibility
sent on board tbe Ramifies. Isaac Williams,
and William Lord, Esquires, with tlieiol- j
lowing letter.
(copy.)’ ‘
Stonningtou , August to, 1814.
TO SIR THOMAS M. HARDY.
Slß—Agreeable to notice received from
you yesterday, this town is now cleared of
M unoffending inhabitants,” and they fecl-
I ing anxious about the fate of their village,
; are defiious to know from you your de
termination refpefting it. Yours, &c.
AMOS DENISON, Burgtfs.
Wm. LORD, Magistrate.
Tlie deputation proceeded on board the
Ramifies, and shortly after an officer in
formed the boat-mun that they might re
turn to the fliore, as the gentlemen! would
be landed in a boat from the fliip, and that
! Capt. Hardy had declared that no further
I hostilities would be committed agaiott the .
: town. After remaining on board an hour,
or more, the deputation were conveyed ig
J a flag from the fliip, which was met by
j one from the shore. They brought with
; them a very Angular and extraordinary <
1 communication. An eXatt copy cannot
i at prefentbe obtained, an official etiquette
will not! permit it: but having read it
i when it was received on Ihore, as far as
<pemory will serve us, it was as follows. j
On board H. M. ship Ramilies, \
Off Stonnington , Aug. 10, 1814. f
Gentlemen —You having given affuran
: ces that no torpedoes have been fitted out
■ from Stonnington, and you having engag
ed to exert your influence to prevent any
j from being fitted out, or receiving’ any akl
from your town: if you fend on board this
fliip by to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock
Mfs. Stewart, wife of James Stewart,
Esq. late H. M. Consul at New-London,
and their cjjildien, I engage that no for
ther hoftHities committed against
Stonnington'; otherwise I fliall proceed to
destroy it tffeftually—for which uurpofe
: I possess ample means. j
T. M. HARDY, Capt. j
This letter was received indignantly.—
‘No answer was given. It was a faft well
known that no Torpedoes have bees fitted
at Stonnington, and that the inhabitants
i are unfriendly to the fyflem ; but neither I
individuals, nor the town have power to
prevent their refecting to that place. The ‘
condition fine qua non is truly tragi sar
i deal. * Neither the town of Stonnington
or the date of Connefticut, had any legal
power to comply with, .which Captain
Hardy well knew. y And if Stonnington ,
Point with its rocky foundation, had been
j in danger of being blown up, fcarcelv, a
voice would have been raised to have fav- ;
-ed it upon such disgraceful terms. The
firft duty of a citizen we are taught in
Connefticut is to obey tbe laws. Mrs.
Stewart is under the proteftion of the ;
■ government of the United States, and the
petition of her huftxmd for a permission
for her departure is in the hands of the
proper authority, who will undoubtedly
decide correttly in the case.
i The truce on the part of the enemy
having expired at 8 o’clock on Thursday
morning, a flag was soon after observed
at the battery to lie coming on fliore, and
there not being fuffiefent time to give in
formation of the faft at head-quarters and
receive inftruftions, it was determined by*
thft officer then commanding to feed a
1 boat off to receive the communication— ’
I Mr. Faxon, of Stonnington, took charge
| of the boat, met the flag, and offered to
convey tlie difpatcb agreeable to its direc- j
tions. The Britifli officer, Lieut. C!ax- j
1 .tori, .questioned his authortv to receive it.
Enquired Whether Mrs. Stewart would be j
j sent off; and said be fliould go on fliore, !
! Mr. Faxon replied that he knew nothing !
of Mrs. Stewart, and that if he attempted
j to proceed for the shore, he would un- j
: doubtedly be fired on. Hg continued his )
course, when a centinel was direfted to
. fire forward of tlie boat, but the ball passed
1 through the after fail. They immediate- ,
j ly put about and (leered for the (hip ; the i
Lieut, fw earing revenge for what he term- j
, ed ap iniult to a flag.
| An explanation of the circumstance was i
immediately transmitted, by Gen. Jfliam i
to Capt. Hardy, which he received as fat
isfattory.
j At the moment a ‘flag had started for
I the Ramilies, from the civil authority of
i the town ; which was received on board. {
! By which was sent the following letter, t
j Stoningtcn-Boro,’ Aug. 14, 1814. !
; To Tbos. M. Rardy. Esq. Com. of'H. B. j
M. Jhif> Ramilies .
i Sir— Since the flag went into New- j
’ London, for Mrs. Stewart, and family, J
Gen. Cufliing, who commands at New- .
London, has written, we are informed, to *
j the Secretary at War on the fubjeft, and |
I it is our opinion the request will be com- >
* plied with. But whatever may be the re- i
; fult of the communication from General i.
Cufliing, you will be fatisfied it is not in
our power to enter into any arrange- j
ment with you respettirig her. From
yours, &c.

! To this letter Capt. Harffv replied ver
bally, that be Jbould allow ‘till 12 o’clock
for Mrs. Stewart to be brought on
board . At this rime the principal part ot
three regiment* of militia had arrived, and
tlie town was perfettly lecune against a
landing. v
Ac 3 o’clock, the bomb-fliip re-com
menced throwing (hells into t!te town;
and being o t of reach ot our cannon, the
Ge neral withdrew the militia, excepting a
guard of* 50 men. who were ordered to
patrol ri,e streets for the extinguifhment
of file, fliould any happen. Ihe bombard
ment continued till evening.
I On Friday morning the boinb-fhip re
. newed her operations a littte before sun
rise, while the Ramilies and Pactolns were
warping in. At 8 o’clock the frigate o
peued her fire, and was soon followed by
the Ramifies. At this time the cannon
were ordered to lie moved to the north
end of the town, where they would have
been fervicable if an attempt hud been
made to land under cover of the (hips,
l This was a very hazardous fervTce as the
1 party would be entirely exposed to tlie
I fire of the enemy. Volunteers ip fuffi
’ cient numbers instantly offered their ser
vices; among them were upwards of 20
of the Norwich artillery. The command
of the party was entrusted to Lieutenant
Lathrop, of that corps. They marcjied
to tlie battery end brought off the pieces
witjjout the (mailed accident; exhibiting
’ all the steadiness which characterises vete
ran soldiers.
’ This tremendous cannonade and bom
bardment continued till nearly noon,
when it ceased; and about four o’clock,
the (hips hauled off to tlieir former an
chorage. . • hi
During the succeeding nigh., a large
force was kept on guard, in the expfetta
; tiop. and hope that a landing would be at
! tempted. The militia during this unfitt
ing feene discovered the’ very belt dispo
sition, and were eager to take revenge of
the enemy, or to facrifice their lives in tlie
contest. .
It may bo confidered’ miraculous that
during the several attach, while so many
were exposed to this terrible and protratt
ed bombardment and cannonade, ’ not a
person was killed, anfl but five or fix
wounded, and th; fe (lightly. Among the
wounded is Lieut Hougb, of the drafted
militia.
On Saturday morning the enemy relin
quished ttie hope of burning the town,
weighed anchor, and proceeded up Fisher’s
I Island sound;
( The volunteers who so gloriously fought
in the battery, deserye the thanks of
their country. No meik could have done
better. Their example \rtll have tbe%ip
pieft influence.
I About 40* buildings art more or lels in
jured, eight or ten
’ or three may be conlidened as ruined.—
The damage was principally done by the
brig. Many (hells did not explode, seve
ral were extinguiftied. Tlie Congreve
Rockets, which were frightful at firft,
soon lost their terrors, and efftfted
little.
The inhabitants, fearing another attack,
have not returned to their dwellings; and
their desolate situation calls Topdly upon
the philanthropy of their fellow-citizens.
If a Brief (hould be granted ■sfor collec
| tions in the churches of the State, we
trust very eflential aid will be furnifhed.
Nineteen-twentieths of the inhabitants, it
is said, have no other property than their
buildings.
A Nantucket man has b ‘n on board
the Britifli fleet to redeem his boat, and
• learnt that the Despatch had 2 men killed
and 12

fided of the Superb, Ramilies, Paftolus,

Yesterday in the °afternoon, a Britifli
barge approached Groton shore so near,
that a party of militia, Commanded by
Captain John Barber, fiirprtsed and cap
tured her. One man was killed and ous
wounded of the crew. He%crew, it is said,
consisted ofthe matter of the Dispatch brig,
and ?3 men. ,
Detached Militia— loconseqiu ace of
the increased force of the enemy in the
iound, and the attack Stonnington,
Governor Smith has ordered into ferviee
two Regiments of the men detached in
compliance, with the late request of the
President, one from the Ist, and the other
from the 3d Division of Militia. Tlie
Regiment from the Ist Division will ren
dezvous in Hartford, on Thursday next.
Major-General Taylor, of Sharon, will
command.
On. countrymen at a distance, from the
importance Captain Hardy has attached to
the rircumftaiice of Mrs. Stewart’s being
sent offto the British squadron, may jms- 1
sibly apprehend that (he has received insult,
or fignified feme feafe for the personal
faiety of herfelf and children. So far
from this being the faft, no lady ever ex
perienced greater civilities from tbe citi
zens ; as no one hasbttter deferred them.
And her feelings during the proceedings
at SsJUiingcon, demanded the sympathy ,
of htr friends.
By the terms offered by Capt. Hardy,
it was impoflible to discoyer whether „be
was moft doubtful of (usability to accom
plifli the dt ftruftion of the town, or desir
ous of a pretext to save it. He allured
the gentlemen who accompanied tht flag,
that this was the moft'irupieafant expedi
tion he had ever undertake^.
