Offi* iaicorrefaondt nee from
Gen. Wilkinl on to the
Secretary of War.
Heed-quarters, French Mills,
adjoining the province of ,
Lower Canada, November
16, 1813*
“SIR —1 beg leave to refer'
you to the journal which ac
companies this letter for
the particulars ot the move
ments of the corps under
my command down the St.
Lawrence, and will endea
vor to exert my enfeebled
mind to detail to you the
more driksngand important
incidents which have enfu
cg xxy departure froiti Gren
adier Iflaud, at the f€*&t of
L*kc Ontario, on the Trd
uit.
The corps of the r
from Kingston, which fol
lowed me, hung to nay rear
and in concert wkh a Heavy
gadey and a few gun-boats,
seemed determined to retatd
m y progress i was temp
ted to halt, turn about and
put an end to this teazing ;
hut alas ! I was confined to
my bet; Maj. Gen. Lewis I
was too iil for any aifiive ex
ertion ; and above all, 1 o d
not dare fuff'er myfelf to be
( iverted a single day from
the profecotion of the views
of government. 1 had writ
ten Maj..Gcni Hampton on
the 6th iniL* by his Adjut.
| Gen. Col. King, and had
| ordered him to form a junc-
I tion wiih me on the St.
| Lawrence, which I expect
ed would place on the
9th or 10th. ittyjuli have
ftcen ui p rd nablc had i lode
fight 01 tins object a mo
ment, and I deemed it of
vital importance to the i'*
of the campaign.
Tiic enemy deserve cre
dit for their zeal and intel
ligence, which the atfive
universal hoftilitv of tlw
male inhabitants of the
Country enabled them to em
hploy to the greatcit advant
age. Thus while mena
ced by a rel|>cCitable force
iin rear, the coalt was lined
by imibketrv in front, at c
very critical pals of the river
which obliged me to march
; a detachment, and this im
peded my piyy^rels.
On the evening of the 9th
in ft. the army hilled ate vv
n iles from the head ot the
Long Suit, In the morn
ing of the 1 otb, the enclo
sed ordr r was ill nr d. Gen.
Brown marched agreeable
toord’er and about noon we
were ap: rized, by the re
port «t Ins attillery, that
he was engaged lome «.lii
tance helww us. At the
fame time the enemy was
•bfervea in our rear, Cc their
galley and gun-boats ap
proached our flotilla, anti o
! pened a fire upoh us, which
| obliged me to order a Watte
|ry of id pounders to ke
planted, and a (hot from it
i compelled the vtflds of the
enemy to retire, together
with their troops, after lome
firing between the advan
ced parties. But by this
j time, in coniequcnte of
; disembarking and re-emhar
kiyg the heavy guns the day
was so far fpenr, tb it our
pilots did not dare enter the
Saut, (eight miles a con.
tinned rapid) and therefore
we fell down about two
miles and came to for the
night. Early the nex f mor.
mug every thing was in rea
, diaefs for motion ; but ha
ving received no intelligence
from (Jen. Brown, I was
Hill delayed, a found cau
tion pfefen bed I should learn
the leluif of his affair, be
fore I committed the flotil
la on the Saut.
At half part ten o’clock,
A. M. an officer of dragoons
arrived wt . a letterin which
'he General informed me he
had forced the enemy, and
would reach the foot of the
Saut early in the <hy. Or
ders were immediately g-i- 1
veil for the flotilla 10 fail,'
ut which in flan t the enemy’s !
gif n-boat* appeared, ami
began to throw (not ain«.ng j
us. Information was br.t’
me at me lame time, from
Brigad'er Gen. flovd that
the enemy ’vere advancing
in column, i immediately
lent oidas to him to attack
them; this rtport was fobn
contradicted. Their gun
boats liowcver continued to
feratch id, and a variety of
J reports ot their m vmicnts
5c Counter-movements were
brought tome in luce ;it oft ;
which convinced I've.hfthjjbf
determination to Kt/\rd ,>n
attack, when it could be
done tj the grea e i ad van - *
tage, and rhetvr m* I re hal
ved to anticipate them. I)i- *
