po,session of the . Enemy's post, where there were t::•) guns, after a short resistance; and the 13ti g.-Ller-General 'further stated, that he was proceed ,;.g to land 'with the whole of his Corps. Under these circumstances, no time was lost in cliserubark ing'at F'rt Leyden the mess of the Troops, and pushing them on by the north bank of the Comme wyne to neatly opposite Zoolatid's Plantation, where it was intended to Cioss The River, to form a junc tion with Brigadier-General Maitland's on its ex peered arrival there. T ., e artillery, stores, and provisions, were_ also conveyed in beats, by the in, defatiga,ble cAerriorjs' of the Navy, into the Comme wyne river;' and an armed naval force established therein. On the 3d May, Brigadier-Qeneral IViaitland having, with great diligence, procured a number of plantation boars to convey his Carps, appeared coming down the\Commewyne in very good Order, and landed at a plantation on the south side of that river. On the same evening part of the 16th Regiment, crossed the Commewync 'to join Brigadier_General Maitland, and were -followed the next day by 'the remainder of that regiment ;,orders were also given for all the troops to pass as quickly-as possible: On the 4th; between two and three o'clock, Bri: sadier-General Maitland's Corps moved on through a wood, and approached Fort NeW 'Amsterdam within a mile to reconnoitre, with a view to extend `'-their position towards the River Surinam, and thereby invest that fortress. Some shots were fired • by the Enemy's advanced c'entinels, who retired.
