Yesterday morning at dav
light the British licet was |
difcovcred close in fihore, a- |
bout two miles to the weft !
of this. Com. Chauncey I
I was at this time lyt.ig with !
his fleet off the Four Mile !
■ creek on the American fide I
The wind at i>. W. and of
in favor of the Bri-
Uih.
As soon as they were dis
covered, com. Chauncey
got under way, and flood
out into ?he lake in line cf
battle, lying as near as poC
fiole to the wina. The Bri
tish at the fame time, and in
the fame order, flood out. with
a fine wind in a direction to
meet our line nearly at
angles the two commo
dore’s fhip S in front. On
approaching within a mile
of each other, *Sif James
Yeo brought his {hip close j
upon the wind, as did all !
the rest of his fleer, and
flood off. At th,3 time, !
commodore Chauncey fired
a broad-iide as a challenge,
wh en was not accepted,
I’hey continued manceuvre
ing the whole d?y, m the
course of which they gain,
ed o or io miles up the lake !
—it being impossible to :
bring the British fleet to i
action, on account of the 1
wind being to the weft.
At day light this morning
both fleets wets difeovered
about 15 miles up the lake
. and two or three miles a- >
| part; since which commo- i
dore Cnauncey has come
down, and row lies four
niilcs above hi order ofbat
f*e. ihe British are close
m shore, near the 12 mile 1
creek, iuppofed to be op, I
petite a part ot their land for
ces. Com. Chauncey has 2
schooners less than he went
out with yefter lay ; but it
is presumed they are feat
out by him, and cannot have
been taken, as no firing was
heard during the night, and
trie British have no accetlion
of numbers. Our fleet 13
including the 2 schooners
miffnng—the British 6, til
large ye dels.
You may imagine the
ai xiety we feel as to the
meeting, which [ think
cairn t but happen in a !
short time, and on which 1
to much is to depend.
