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.
