or my services on the late expedi
tion to Mobile, with their congra
tulations on my fafe return to the
bofomof my family, I receive with

not an opportunity of teffing their
valor and patriotism, with the inva

The flattering manner in which
the corporation of Savannah have,
on this occasion, exprefled them
selves, impresses on my mind no *
lcommon feelings; and I beg fir,
you to communicate to
them, the high eflimation in which
I hold their good opinion, and the

ANECDOTE.
After the signal defeat of the
Britiih army, general Lambert im
agined that his camp was entirely
iurroundeU by the Americans ; and
anticipating nothing out defeat &
dilgrace Ihould he attemp to fight
his way through, he had recourse
to the following stratagem, in order
to effeft his eicape. He requelled
general Jackson to allow him four
days to bury his dead intending to
make use ot that time to makegood
his retreat under cover of the night.
Having accordingly got every thing
in readineis for a precipitate flight,
the Britiih commander on the
evening previous to the expiration
to the truce, put his troops in mo
tion, and commenced his march
protected by the total darknels
which then reigned, as silently as
pollible. lie had not proceeded
far, however, before his progrels
was arrested, as he thought, by the
numerous army determined to de
stroy him and his unfortunate fol
io wers. Strange & unaccountable
founds feemmgly proceeding from
ten thouiand clamorous tongues,
were heard all around-, him ; iome
apparently crying out, You’ll be
too late !”—others, “ Surrender !
furrentler !”—and pt tiers *• Shoot. !
{hoot! lhnot!” which so terrified
the aflouilhed warrior, that he cri
ed out in the agony of his foul,
“ For God’s lake gentle men, don’t
{hoot! We’ii give up!” lie then
ft aid ail night on the spot, imder
the impreflioa that he. was a prilon
er ; and in the morning kht ins
.aid in order to treat with the iup
pofed enemy ; when finding that
the army which had thus irutfrated
his design, inltead of being tom*
posed of bioody minded Yankees,
confided of nothiug more or Ids
than a numerous host of harmiels
frogs, conveniently polled in the
neighboring maiihes, tie became so
overwhelmed with rage and lhame;
that his reason forfook hnn for a
time and was obliged to be confin
ed on board the British fleet for
several days.
