The enemy, on teeing the ad vance.of the Britifh troops, made every poMble tion to efcape, but was charged with fitccefs in vart: ous directions, and coffered great lofs. The Britifit cavalry continued the purfuit to a very confiderable Jitiance, and did not defift till the enemy was entire !y dirperfed.
