Head Q ianer«, Detroit, 9 h October, a 5 13- SIR—In my letter Irons Sandwich of the 30th uk. ! I d;«i mylelf the honor to inform you, that i was prt- i paring to puriue the en -my I j the foliotfing day. Froai various cauies, however, T j was unable to put me troops in motion until the j morning of the 2nd mitaut, j and (hen to take with me : only about one bundled and torty of the Rcgukr croups, John lon’s Mounted Regt. and such of Gov* iheiby’s Volunteers as were fit for a rapid march, the whole a muunting to about 3,500 men. To Gen. M*ArUiur, (with about 700 effectives) j the protecting of this place and the lick was committed, j Gen. Call's brigade and the i corps of Lieut. Col. Bail wcce left at Sandwich, wah orders to follow me as loon ;as the men received their knaplacks and blankets, which had been left oa an llland on Lake Eke. The unavoidable delay at Sandwich was attended with no diladvantage to us. Ge neral Prodtor had polled hi itilelt at Da [foil’s on the right bank of the Thame* (or Trench) fifty-fix mile* from this place, where 1 j was informed he intended | to fortify and wait to re. I ceive me. He niuft have 1 believed, however, that 1 I had ho disposition to follow | him, or that he had fccurcd |my continuance here, by j the reports that were cncu iateci that the Indians | attack aad destroy this • place upon the advance of i the army; as he riegle&ed i to commence the breaking up the bridges until the night of the 2nd infl. On thac night our army reached the river, which is twenty five mile# from Sandwich ; and is oife of tour ltiearns ; eroding our route, over ail of which are bridges, and j being deep and mud .y, are 1 unforoabie Ivr a Confidar*- 1 hie durance intu the coun try — me hete was cr.rifv, and in the Kiorniog j proceeded with joijirlcti'i Kegtarcr.t tv lave-} ii pohtcie t.:c uiiicrs At j the second bridge over a I branch of the river Ihames, ,we wtre lortunatc Cvough ! to capture a Lieut. ofr> ra . ! goons and eleven priea cs# who had been fer.t by Gt . i ProCfor to destroy them i From the prisoners I leara cd that the third bridge was j ; broken up and that the ene jmy had no certain intoirru > tion of our advance. The 1 bridge having been itnpcr ; fedfcly detfroyed, was soon 1 r®paired ani the army en ; camped i Drake* lanw, 4 1 miles below Dalfon’f. The river Thame?, along 1 the banks of which our < _ 1 | route Dy, is a tine deep ilream, navigable for vef j fels ot considerable burthen, after the pafiage of the bar at its mouth over which, there is fix and a halt feet or water. The baggage of the army was brought trom Detroit in boats protected by thrta Gunboats, which Commo dore Perry had iurnilbed for the perpofe, as well as to cover the pillage ut the army over the Thames it leir, or the mouths of its tributary ft.earns; the banks being low and ihs country generally open (Prairies) as high as Dalfoa'e, theie vcf lcU were well calculated for tha 1 : pu r pofc# Above Dal fon’s however, the charac ter of the river and adjacent country is considerably chan ged. The former, though ltiii deep, is very narrow and its bauks hign and wJu dy, The Commodore and uiyfelf therefure agreed up on the propriety ut leaving the boats under a guard ot 150 infantry, and 1 deter mined t* trust to fortune &c ih: b avery of my troops to tftedf tlie pafiage of the nv- j er. Below' a place called , Chatham and four miles a bove Dulfon’s is the third umordabie branch of the Thames; the bridge over its mouth had been taken up by the Indians, as v, ell as that at M‘Giegor'» Mills, one mile above—fever.*] hundred of the Indians re mained to dispute our pas sage and, upr.,i the ariivvi 1 of the advanced guard, com menced a heavy fitc horn the oppclitc bank of the creek as well as that ot the ! river. Believing that the whole force of the enemy was theit, i halted the ar. uiy, foimed in order of bat tle, and brought up our two fix pounders to cover | the part/ that were ordered to repair the bridge —a few filot irovn thole pieces, loon drove ofcf tiic iotiuns auti an aOicd us, in two hours, to repair the bridge and cross I the troops C A- Johnlon's!
