The Governor-General of the Canadas, and Commander in Chief of the British forces in North-America,•having invaded the territories of the United States, with the avowed purpose of conquering the Country as far aS Crown Point and Ticonderoga, there to winter his forces with a view to further Conquest, brought with him a powerful army and An at6y amounting to fourteen thousand men, completely equipped, and' accompanied by a numerous train of artillery and all the engines of , war—men who had con quered in France,. Spain, Portugal, the Indies, and in other parts of the globe, and led by the most distinguished! Generals' of the British army. A flotilla, also, sitperior to ours in. vesSetS - , men, and guds, had determined at once to crush us, . both by land and water. The Governor General, 'after boasting of what he would . do, and endeavouring to dissuade the loyal _inhabitants of the United States from their allegiance, by threats and promises as set forth in his Proclamation and order, fixed his head-quar ters'at the village of Champlain' to organise his army, 'and to settle the Government of his intend ed conquest. On the second day of the month he marched from Champlain, and on the .sth ap peared before the village of Plattsbufgh with his whole army, and on the 11 di, the day fixed for the general attack the flotilla arrived. The enemy's flotilla, at eight in the morning, passed .Cumberland Head, and at nine engaged our flotilla at anchor on the hay of the town, fully confident of ernshingin an instant the whole of our naval force '; but the gallant Commodore Macdonorigh, in the short space of two hours, obliged the large vessgis to Strike their colours, whilst the - gallies'sived them elves by tiL;lit. Titis glOrious achievement was in full view of the seve ral torts, and the American forces had the satis-. faction of witnessing the victory. The British arn.y was also so posed on the surrounding heights, that it could not but h.ebold, the inte resting Struggle for dominion on the lake. At the same hour the fleets _engaged, the enemy opened his batteries on our forts, throwing hun dreds of shells, balls, and rockets, and attempted, at the same time, to cross the Saranac at three different points to assault the works. At the tipper' fort, he was met by the militia pod volunteers, and, after repeated attempts, was driven back with considerable loss in killed, wounded and prisoners. At the bridge near the village, he was . repulsed by the piquets and brave riflemen under Captain Groveuor, and Lieutenants Hamilton and R:ley and at the bridge in town be was foiled fry the guards, block-houses, and the as of the forts, served by Captain Brooks, Captains Rich ards and Smith, and Lieutenants Mountford, Smith, and Cromwell:. - The enemy's 'fire was re turned with effect froM our batteries, and by sun-. set we had the satisfaction to silence seven bat terieS which he had - erected, and to set his,colonin retiring to their camp beyond the reach of our buns. _ - Thus beaten by land and. water, .the Governor- General withdrew his artillery and raised the siege. At nine at night, sent off-his heavy baggage, and tinder cover of the darkness; retreated with 10,3 whole army, towards Canada, leaving his wound ed on the field; and a vast quantity of bread, flour, and beef, which, he had•not time. to destroy, be sides a quantity of bonili4;!,.Ais, shot, flints; and ammunition of all kinds, which remained at the batteries, and .lay concealed in the ponds and ri vers. As soon as hiS retreat was. discovered, the light troops, volunteers, and Militia, were ordered in pursuit, and followed as far as Chezy, captnr ing several dragoons and soldiers, besides cover ing the escape of hundreds of deserters,• who still continue to be coming in. A violent storm and continual fall of rain prevented the brave volun teers and militia from further pursuit. • Thui have the attempts of the invader .been fruStrated by a regular force of only 1500 Men, a bl;4ve and active body of militia of the State'of New York, Under General Mooers, and volun teersof the respectable and patriotic citizens of Vermont, led by General- Strong and ..other gen tlemen o' distinction. The whole not exceeding 2500 men. The British forces being 1)0W either expelled or captured, the services of the volunteers and militia may be dispensed with. General Macombe cannot, however, permii the militia of New York.and the volunteers of Ver mont, to depart without carrying with them the high sense he entertains to their merits. The zeal with which they came forward in the defence of their country ‘vhen the signal of danger was given by the General, reflects the highest lustre , on their patriotism aud.spirit. Their conduct in the field has corresponded ‘Vith the laudable mo tives which led them into it. They have de served the esteem Of their fellow citizens awl the ‘varm approbation of their Comnianders.— Thi..y have exemplified .how speedily American ci tizens can be prepared • to meet the enemies of their country. In testifying his sense of the merits of the I do most deeply regret the sequel of the-gallant enterprise wbich put intofyour possession two Of the enemy's schooners.
