When the brig's boats came withii) hail, Capt* Reed ordered them to keep off, they how ever continued pulling for the Arm- \ strong when the boats were fired In to from her which killed eight or ten of ttie enemy The 74 and fri gate perceiving this, forthwith man ned 16 barges with about 45® men £-TJ>e Gen. Armstrong then cut Her cables and warped in directly under the guns of the fort. Between 11 and 12 o'clock at night the whole number of barges were discovered from the Armstrong, within pistol •hot, whep at the moment they were about dividing into four divisions, a broadside from the long tom and three long 9*s were fired into them which pn* the enemydn great confu sion, killing the first lieutenant pf the frigate, who commanded the barges, and many othete. The whole of the barges the.* came under the Armstrong's bow keeping up a continued fire which wa& returned from on board with great spirit. Several attempts . were made to board the Armstrong, but were re pulsed with great destruction to the enemy. The barges finding’ they could not carry hei v , Muled off until morning when they retie Wet! the at tack the tirig in company. The Gen. Armstrong comitanced With a brisk fire oh the brig and barges and continued it for some tiifie *, but find ing the force of the enemy Whs too great and seeing no hopes 6£ saving tfie ship, captain Reed gaVe orders to dut away the mast Sand rigging, and to lii three nine pounders through her bottom—this \ was promptly executed, when the crew abandoned her and arrived safe on Shore. Thus fell the Armstrong inf to the hands of the British, after a resistance worthy of the caiiSe which animated her gallant and crew, The enemy on taxing possession of the Armstrong finding her so much injured, and in a ; sink ing condition set her on fire.
