.. ~w r -, to my command, to prevent a useless waste Of valua ble lives, and, at the request of the surviving officers awl men, I gave the painful orders for the colours to be Lieut. flicks, of the Finch, had Hie mortification le strike on a reef ref rocks, to the eastward of Crab ahnut the middle of the engagement, which presented his rendering that assistance to the squa dion, that might, from an officer of such ability, have been expected. The misfortune which this day betel us by capture will, Sir, I trust, apologize for the lengthy detail which, in justice to the secrets, I have deemed ne cessary to give of the particolars which led to it ; lord when it is taken into consideration that the Con-. Ranee was 16 days before on the atocks,with an uuor gatrized crew, composed of several drafts of men who had recently arrived from different ships at Quebec, many of %sirens only joined the day be fore, and were totally unknown either to the officers or to each other, with the want of son-locks, as well as other necessary appointments not to he pro cured in this country, I trust you will feel satisfied of the decided advantage the enemy possessed, exclu sive of their great. superiority in point of force, a comparative statement [the account of the British force has not been transmitted] of which I have the honour to annex. It now becomes the most pleasing 'Art of my present duty to notice to you the deter mined sisill and bravery of the officers and men in this unequal contest ; but it grieves me to state, that 'the loss sustained in maintaining it has been so great; that of Ore enemy, I understand, amounts to some thing more Garr the same number. The fine style In which Capt. Downie conducted the squadron into action, amidst a tremendous fire, without returning a shot, until secured, reflects the greatest credit to his memory, for his judgment and coolness; as also on Lieuts. M'Ghee and . Ricks for so strictly attending to his example and instructions :. their own accounts of the capture of their respective vessels, as well as that of bent. Robertson, .who succeor;e4l to the command of the Confiance, will, I feel assured, do ample justice to the merits of the 011icers and men serving under their immediate com mand ; but I cannot omit noticing. the individual conduct of Leuts. Robertson, Creswick, and Horn by, and - Mr. Bryden, Master, for • their particular exertion in endeavouring to bring the Confiance's htne!marti side to bear on the enemy, lifter most of their gnus were dismounted on the other. It is impossible for toe to express to you my admi ration of the ofikers and crew serving under my persoml orders ; their 'coolness and steadiness, the effect of which vas proved by their irresistible fire directed towards the brig opposed to us, claims my warmest acknowledgments, but more particularly for preserving the same so long after the whole strength of the enemy had been directed against the Linnet alone.. My First Lieutenant, Mr. Wm. Drew, .4 hose merits I have before had the honour to report to you, behaved on this occasion in the most exemplary manner. By tho death of Mr. Paul, Acting Second Lieu tenant, the set s ice has been deprived of a most va- Intae and brave officer ; he fell early in the action. Great credit is due to Mr. Giles, purser, for valor). leering his service:: on deck ; to Mr. Mitchell, sur gt,on, for the skill he evinced in performing some am putmions required at the moment, as well as his great attention to the hounded during the action, nt the close of w Welt the water was nearly a foot above the lower deck, from the namber of shot which struck her bet:seen wind and water. I have to re gret the loss of the boatswain, Mr. Jackson, who was killed a few ethnics before the action termi nated. The assistance I received from Mr. Muckle,- the gunner, soil also from Mr. Clark, Master's Mate, Mossrs. Towke and Sinclair, Midshipmen, the latter of whom wig wounded in the head, and Mr. Guy, my clerk, will, I hope, recommend them, ns well as the whole of my gallant little crew, -to your notice. I hare much satisfaction in making you ac, quabited %%Oh the humane treatment the wounded have received from Commodore M‘Donough ; they Were immediately realm ed to his own hospital on Crab island, and were furnished with every requi. sit 2. Ilis generous nod polite Attention to myself, the officers, and men, will ever hereafter be grate fully remembered.

As no other part of the enemy's squadron made their appearance, and these two ships, from their ma nceuvres, evidently wished to escape us, it struck. me that the enemy had learnt the movements of Gen. Izard up the Lake l and apprehending an attack• upon Gen. Drummond's army (which probably was also distressed for provisions), had induced him to put on board these two ships troops and provisions, and risk them for the relief of his army on, the Niagara fron tier. The wind and thick foggy weather also fa -I.vonred such a movement. I determined to frustrate his designs if possible. Soon after sun-down I an chored the fleet between the Galnoes and Grenadier Island, for the purpose of keeping them together, and put Lieut. Skinner, with an additional number of men, on board the Lady of the Lake, with orders to anchor between Pigeon and Snake Islands, and if he discovered any movergent of the enemy, to make me a signal, with rockets or guns, of his number, &c. It continued a-thick fog during the night. The enemy. made no movement, and the next morning (the 29th) the weather cleared up, with the wind to the west ward—weighed with the . fleet and stood itefor Kings ton, until we opened the town—sent the Lady of the Lake close in to reconnoitre, and 'ascertain the state of forwardness of the new ship. Lieutenant Skinner found her hauled off in the stream, and com pletely rigged, but sails not bent; four other ships and a large schooner lying atso rkthe stream, riPpa reedy rwkdy to sail. From present oppeulances have no doubt but the enemy will be on the Lake, with his whole force, in the course of a week, and I think his first movement will be to attempt to re trieve at Sa:kett's Harbour what he lost at Platts burgh. 1 hope, however, that lie will meet with the same gallant resistance upon this Lake that he ex perienced on Lake Champlain.
