in the battle on the night of the
23d December, the enemy Viorce
is estimated to have been 300O —*
ours only 1500. —Their loss on that
occasion in prisoners was 66, in
eluding one Major and two fub
akem officers—-the number of
killed and wounded unknown, but
supposed to be double ourk, which,
was about 100 in killed, #ounded
and prisoners. Our army contin
ued on the battle ground ‘till next
morning, and then retired to a
flronger position two miles nearer
to New Orleans.
On the 27th December, the en
emy succeeded, by means of hot
fliot, in blowing up the American”
armed schooner Caroline, which
lay becalmed in the Miffifiippk
Emboldened b.y this fuccefe,- lie
marched his whole force agaialt
our army, but was repulsed with
the loss of 120 ui killed— our lofs ’
was inconsiderable, about tali a
dozen killed and double'that num
ber wounded. Lie number of
Britiih troops landed from the
boats, according to information
given by pri loners and deserters,
was 7000.

1 Since my la.lt, i have been em
ployed in the Itaff of Major Gen
eral Carroll. Our army remains
encamped behind their break i
works, in good (pints, pofieffing
both the wall and the abliiity to
repel any attack which may be
made upon them by the enemy.
On the Bth ink-apt at me dawn
of day the Briufii forces were in
motion and instantly commenced a
molt furious and vigorous a (fault
on our lines, ihe attack was well
planned and bravely maintained by
the foe, in the face of a galling k
definitive fire from cur infantry
and artillery. The refo.lt was at no
time doubtful, the afiaihnts being
. repulsed in every charge with itn
rnenfe (laughter. ‘ The enemy ap
proached in two uivifions, fthe one
directed agaialt the left, defended
■ by the fennefiee militia, under the
’ command of Gen. Carroll, and
t the other againk our right, fvp
; ported by heavy artillery, and
; rockets in the centre. For the
f moment the baltion on the bank
‘ of the rive was carried bv Lt. Col.

this etty; the buff ion was retaken
■ ‘ the point of the bayonet, and
the whole party were either killed
or made pri loafers. On the loft,
cur lire was kill more defirucltve.
Hie enemy advanced in fo’id col
umns with beating ladders and bun
des of sugar cane follened before
them, to protect them from the
f nail arms. Naryrith landing these
precautions, very few of them
reached the ditch. General Car
voTs division poured in upon
them a molt deadly difcLrged or
rille and muiktt fliot, with akori
i iiiag elhcl. With the coolness
<:f veterans, the militia rtferved
their fire, until the enemy came
within point blank distance, and
each man took deliberate aim,
.vith as much precision as they
would have done, at Hie hannlefs
i"eer of the forme. The British
troops were driven back, but again
formed, difiTued column, and
renewed file allault; arnfia they
were compelled to fly, leaving the
extenfivc plain, on which they
fought, covered with their dead and
wounded soldiers. The fee no was
calculated t->,draw forth the (mile
of exultation from the pair:? f,
mingled with (the tear of fym. yhy
for the miferahie V a fids who were
faughtcred, in a'tte-iptir.g to

ambitious Prince, and to deprive
a peaceable and virtuous people of
the liberty, which heaven in its wis
