frt)Tfl(fehmd whiert a potipn of qur
troops Vere engaged with ihfr enemy.
Early lo; (he action-a charge was made
by the assailants but" theL fire from our
lines was so intenser tbat'they were
quickly compelled to -retire r -
In this charge the. 4 1 st regiment of
British "regulars" prin'clpidly suijered,
their loss during the charge, and in the
subsequent encra cement, being very
Uonshlcrable Out of three hundred of
these troops about. thirty Tell dead upon
the field, ' and ninety ,or an hundred
wounded : were removed from the
grpnnd. .. .
It i3 impossible to a; ate with anyide?
gree of accuracy, "the number of Cana
dian militia and Indians which was ei
ther killed or wounded during the en
gagemelit ; it jcould, however, not have
been small, having received for $ ot 4
hours the consttnt fire of 6'ur inusquetTy
and riflemen, from the breastrwok 'un
der which they we i e formed.- TKe ac
tion had endured about a quarter of -an
hour, when the right division of our
troops), who were less secured by a
breast-woik and exposed to a heavy fire
from a body of Indians and militia, who
had' possessed themselves of some out-,
hquses within their reach, were obliged
to re treat from their lines in the. encamp
ment,, for the purpose, of. occupying
ground less exposed.' This retreat be
ing discovered by the eriemjythe whole
lodiafi Torce, together with a portion of
the miliiia, bore down upon t hem with
redoubled violence, and prevented by
their superiqrity ot, numbers and the
severity oflheir fire the practicability of
ever ayuin forming this portion" of our
troops in order of battle. ;It was Irom
lids division that our principal loss ws
sustained, few indeed hiving escaped.
Every 'effort was in vain employed to
form them into some order of action,
as atTording the only mean of either re;
pelling the pursuers, regaii)ing,the
temporary breast-work from behind
which the remaining part of our troops
still gallantly defended themselves ; out
every exertion Avas in vain employed
and the very few who survived of the
party, surrendered as fiisoners to the
enemy;
Our loss in this action will be ascer
tained by the lUt herewith enclosed.
Among the killed I have to lament se
veral brave and valuable officers, some
of whom had distinguished themselve
in the action of the evening of the I8ih,
and tell on the 22d while unavailitigly
engaged in rallying the troops, who. re
treated -iii disorder from the li'res.v A
mongtho ethe lossof Col. John Allen'
and Maj. Elijah M'ClannahaW is to be
particularly regrettedf as also Captain
John H. Wool folk, , on o of fny Aids de
camp their exertions were unsuccess
ful, notwithstanding every possible cx
eftion was employed ; they bravely . fell
in the discharge of their respective du
ties. While I regret the fate of those
who fe I upon -this occasion, I should do
injjusdce'to pass over, without notice,
the" few partakers .in theiir. danger, who
were fortunate enough survive them.
To Lie uu- Col. Willia m 1 Le'wisV who
