SPF;fIB: I 9 N : 11. addressed to Earl ILirtitiasT, one of his NlAltsTY'sTrinciPal Aceretaries cf ,state, of which thelidlowing is-a.copy. Castine, at the entrance of the Penobscot, Set. IS, 1814. ,ArVIA)I),—I have now-the honour to inform your Lordship, that after closing my dispatch on the 26th .ultimo : , in which I mentioned my inteii .tio••s of proceeding to the Penobscot, Rear miral,Griffith ,and myself, lost no time in sailing . from Halifax, with such a naval force as be.deem ,cd necessary, and the troops as per Margin*, to accomplish the object we had 11), view. Very early in the morning of the 30th., we fell in with the Rifleman sloop of war, when Capt-Pearse in formed us, that the United States frigate, the Adams, bad got into the Penobscot, but from the apprehension of being attacked by our craz ers, if she remained at the entrance of the river, she bad rnn tip as high as 'Tanic!), where she had landed her guns; and mounted them on slime 4or i her - protection. On leaving Halifax it . was my original intention to have taken possession of Alachias, on our way hither, hilt on receiving • th's intelligence the Admiral and myself were of opinion, that no time should •belost in proceed ing to our destination, and we arrived here very early on the morning of the Ist instant. The fort of Castine, which is situated upon peninsula of the eastern side of the Penobscot; near the entrance of that river, was stunnvined little after sun rise, but the American office': re fused to surrender it, and imtnediately . opened a fire from four twenty-four pounders upon a small schooner than been sent with Lient, , ,Colonel Nicolls (commanding Royal Engineer) ; to recon-• noitre the work. Arrangements were immediately made for dis embarking the troops, hut before a landing could be effected, the enemy blew up his magazine, and. ,escaped up the Majetaquadous River, carrying off in the boats with them two field pieces. As we bad no means of ascertaining what-force the Ame ricans had on this peninsula, I landed'a detach ment of royal artillery, with two rifle companies of the 60th and' 98th regimeuts, under Colonel •Douglas, in the rear of it, with orders to secure the isthmus and to take possession of the heights ;t4hich command the town, but I soon learned that there were no regulars at Castine, except the party which had blown up the magazine and escaped ; and that the militia, which were assem bled there, bad dispersed immediately on our land ing. Rear-Admiral Griffith and myself, next turned our .attention to obtaining possession of the Adams, or if that could .not be done, to de stroying her. The arrangement for this service ;saving been made, the Rear-Admiral intrusted the execution of it to Captain Barrie, Royal Navy, and as the co=operation of a land force was ne cessary, I directed Licut.--Colonel John, with a Attachment of artillery, the flank companies of the 29th, 62d, and 96th regiments, and one rifle company of the 60th, to accompany and co operate with Captain Barrie on this occasion ; but as Hamden is twenty4even miles above Cas tine, it appeared to me a necessary measure of precaution first to occupy a post on the western bank, which alight afford support if necessary to the force going up the river ;,and at the same time prevent the armed population, which is very nu-. merous to the southward 'and westward, from an noying the British in their operations against the Adam's. Upon inquiry I found that Belfast, which is upon- the high road leading from Hamden to Boston, and which perfectly commands the bridge, was likely to answer - both these purposes, and I consequently directed Major-General Gossclin to occupy that place with the 29th regiment, and to maintain' it till further orders.. As soon as this was accomplished, and the title served, Rear-Ad miral Griffith directed Captain Barrie to proceed to his destination, and the remainder of the - troops were landed that evening.at Castine. Un derstanding that a strong party of militia from the neighbouring township, had assembled at • about four miles from Castine, on the road lead ing to Blue Hill; I sent out a strong patrole on the morning of the 2d before day-break ; on ar riving at the place, I was informed that the mili tia of the country had assembled there on the alarm guns being fired at the Fort at Castiue, up en ur first appearance, but that the main body bad since dispersed, and returned to their respec tive homes. Some stragglers were however lea, who fired upon our advanced guard, and then took to the woods a few of whom Were .macie soners. No intelligence having reached us from Captain Barrie on Saturday night, I marched with about 709 men and two light field-pieces upon I)tsekston, at three o'clock On Sunday morning the.4th inst. for . the purpose of learning - what progress he had Made, an d of Affording him as sistance if required. This place is about 18 miles higher up the Penobscot than Castine, and on the eastern bank of the river. Rear-Admiral' Griffith accompanied me on this occasion ; and as we had reason to believe that the light guns which had been taken from Castine, were secreted in the neighbourhood of Thteliston, we threatened to destroy the town unless they were delivered op, and the two mass three-pounders on travel ling carriages were in consequence brought to us in the course of the day, and are now in our possession. At Bubliston we received very satis- • factory accou n ts o f t h e success which had attend ed the, force employed tip the river . . We learned that Captain Barrie had proceeded from Hamden up to Bangor ; and the Admiral sent an officer in a boat front Buckston to communicate with him, +when. finding there was no necessity for the troops rema i n ing longer at Buckston, they marched back to Castine the next day. - Having ,ascertained 'that the object of the ex pedition up the Penobscot had Leen attained, it was no . longer necessary for rue to occupy Bel last ,; I the re f ore , or t h e e ve n i ng o f the 6th, di recteil Major-General Gosseliti to embark the froops, and to join me here.. Machias being the only place now remaining First Company Rnyal Artillery, two rifle companies of the 7th battaliuu 4igth resiwant, 2ytb, Gad, and fir4tk refits. where the rienll, 4 - bad a postbetween• thejarnob scot •and ,Passamaquady Bay, lordered - Lietite- Thant- . COU:MeI l'ilkiogton to ilreicerd with a de tach:nent, of royid artillery and the 29th regiment tooccipv.it ; atal as naval .ast.iistance was requir ed,' Re'ar-Admiral Griffith directed CaptainPar :ker, of ..the T eitedos, •to co=operate with Lieute , nant-Colonel pilkingt on on-this occasion. On the niorni.ng of the 9tli, - Capt. Barrie, with LientenrinrzColonel :Prim, and the troops which had been employed ivith •hirn up the VenOhscot, ' returned to Castine. It--Seems the enemy blew up:the Ada;ns, on hiti-strong' position at Hamden being attacked ; but all -his artillery, two stands of colours, and a standard, with several titerthant vessels, fell'into bur hands.- This, I anyhappy to say, was :accomplished with very little loss ou onr part ; and your Lordship will perceive, by - the re , turn sent herewith ,* that the only officer wounded in this affair is:Capt Gell,:of the 29th grenadiers.' Herewith I have the honour to transmit a copy of the report Amide to - me by .Lieut. COI-John on this occasion, in which ytior Lordship will be pleased'to observe, that the Colonel.speaks very -highly: of the gallantry and good conduct displayed,by the troops upon this expedition, un der very trying Circumstances, and I beg to call your Lordship's attention to the' names of those Officers upon whom Licuteaant-Colonel ,John particularly bestows praise. The enterprize and intrepidity Manifested' -by Lieutenant-Colonel John, and the discipline and gallantry displayed , by the•troops under him, reflect great- honour up on theta, and demand my warmest ad:firm-led:4: mehts ; .-and hate to request your Loril;A:ip will take a favoutable'opportunity of bringing the me ritorious and successful services. performed by the. ,troops employed on-this occasion, under the view of his Royal Prince Regent. As Rear-Adruiralith will no doubt make a :detailed report of tlknizval olwrations on this oc casion, I forbear tozrching upon this subject fur liter than to solicit your Lorrkhip's attention to -that part of Colon! John's report, in which lie "attributes the success of t:4is enterprize to thu masterly arrangements of Captain Barrie, Royal Navy, who cooducted it:" . s I have math pleasure in reporthrgl to your ,Lordship, that, the most perfect' unanimity - and good understanding has prevailed between the na yd and military, branches of the'seriiee, - during the whole progress of this expedit,ion. I feel it my duty to express, in the strongest terms, the great obligations I am tinder to Rear- Admiral Griffith, for hi.s judiciouS.advice and ready co-operation, on every occasion ; iittd lily thanks are likewise due to all the Crytains of the ships employed, for the assistance they have so willing ly afforded the troops, and from which ;be hap piest results have been experienced. I have reason to be well satisfied with the gal lantry and good conduct of the troops ; and have to offer my thanks. to Major-General Gosselin, Colonel Douglas, and the commanding Officers of corps, for the alacrity shewn by them, and the strict discipline which has been maintained. To the heads of departments, -and to the Officers of the general and of toy personal-Staff, I ant much indebted for the zealous manner in which they have discharged their respective duties.. Major Addison, my Military Secretary, will have the honour of delivering ,this dispatch. He has been with me during the whole of these.opei a tions, and is well enabled ,to afford your Lord ship any further inform a ti on yon may require. I have entrusted the colours and standard taken from th enemy to Major AddisOn, who will re ceive ycir Lordship's commands-respecting the further disposal of them ; and I take • the lib6iyof recommending him as a deserving,officer to. your Lordship's protection. I have, &c. (Signed J. C. SHERBROOKE. N. B. The returns of killed, wounded, and missing, and of artillery and ordnance stores taken, are inclosed. Sept. 13: P. S. The Martin sloop of war } , which Rear- Admiral Griffith is about to send to England, hay-, ing been delayed, affords mean opportunity of in forming your Lordship, that I have received a private Communication front Lieut.-Colonel Pil kington, acquainting me that 'he had I.,,qed at some distance from Macchias on the evening of the 10th instant;' and after ,a' very difficult night march, that he had taken possession of the fort, without loss, early the next rooming. Twenty-four pieces of cannon, of different Cali bres, fell into otir hands on this occasion, more than half of which the enemy had rendered un serviceable. Brigadier-General Brewer, who commanded the militia in this district,, and some other respecta ble persons, had sent a letter addressed to Lieut. PiP4ington and Captain Parker, of which the en closed; No. 4, is a copy, and the next day was appointed" to receive these gentlemen, for the purpose of accepting the terms therein offered. Lieut.-Colonel Pilkington says, that as soon as this is done he shall transmit ine his.ofticial re pott which I will forward to your Lordship by the first opportunity. The Lieut.-Colonel fur. 7 tber mentions the great assistance lie received from Captain Parker of the Royal Navy, and the naval forces employed wider him ,• and says, that the conduct of the troops is deservilig of great praise. . I have great pleasure in congratulating your Lordship upon the whole of the country between Penobscot River and Passamaquaddy . Bay being now in our possession. " (Signed) 3. C. SHERBROOKE. (Inelosure No. I.) Bangor, on the Penobscot Riser, Sept. 3, 1914. Stn,--111 compliance with vont- Excellency's or dersof the Ist instant, I sailed from Castine with the detachment of royal artillery, the flank com panies of the 29th, Utl, and 98th. regiments, and one rifle company of the 7th battalion GOth -regi !bent, which composed the hit - cc your Excellency did me the honour to place under my command, for the purpose of co-operating with Captain Barrie, of the royal navy, in an expedition up this rivet. Ott the morning of the 2d, having proceeded above the town of Frankfort, we discovered sonic of the enemy. on thei: iii a rch towards Hamden, by the eastern shore, which induced me to order Brevet Major Crosdaile, with a detachment of the 98th, and some riflemen of the 60th regiment, under Lieutenant Wallace, to laud ataintercept them, which was accomplished ; and that detaeh ment of the enemy (as I halve sincedearneol) were prevented from joiming the main body assembled at Hamden: On this occasion the.enemy had one man killed; and sione Winintled. ii - ajorsCrosdaile re-embarked ‘Yithout any loss. We arrived Oir Bald 1-lead Cove, thrre miles distant from Ham den, about five o'clock, that evening, when Cap tain Barrie agreed with me in determining to land the troops immediately. Having discovered that the enemy's piques were advantageously posted on•the north side.of the. Cove,. I directed. Brevet Major Riddle, with the grenadiers of the 62d, and Captain Ward, with the rifle company of the 60th, to dislodge theme, and take up that ground, which duty was pei formed under Major Riddle's three tiOns, r in a most complete and satisfactory manner, by abbot seven o'clock . ; and before ten at night, the whole of the troops, ineluding - eightyauarines under - Captain•Carter,.(whom Captain Berrie had done me the honour to attach to my command), were ladled and•bitonacked for the .night, during which it rained incessantly. We got under arms at five o'clock this morning, the rifle company: forming the advance under Captain - Ward; Bre vet Major Keith, with the light company of the sixty-second, bringing np the rear, and the taehment of marines, under Captain Carter, !nor . - lug upon my flanks, while Captain Barrie, with the,ships and gun-boats under his command, ad- Vanced at the same time up the river, on'my right, towards Ilainden. In addition to the de tachment of royal artillery Milder Lieutenant Gars ton, Captain Barrie had lauded one :sit -pounder, a six and half-inch howitzer, and a -rocket appa ratus,rwith a detachment of sailors under Lieute•- nants Symonds, Botely, and Slade, and Mr. Spad ing, Master of his Majesty's ship Bulwark. The fog was so thick, it was impossible to . form a correct idea of the features of the coun try, or to reconnoitre the enemy, whose number were reported .to be fourteen hundred, under the command of' Brigadier-Geaeral. Blake. Between seven and eight o'clock, our skirmishers in ad vance were so sharply.. engaged with the enemy, • :as to induce me t.o send forward one• half of the light company'ortbe 29t1 regiment, under. Capt. Coaker, to their . support. The: column had not 'advanced much further; before I discovered the enemy drawn curt in line, occupying at ‘ery.strong and advantageous position in front of the town of, Hamden, his left flanked by'a high hill'command ing the road and river, on. which were mounted several heavy pieces of cannon ; hi's right extend, ing considerably beyond our left, res'ting•upon a .strong point d'appui, with .a n eighteen-pounder and some light field pieces in advance of his centre, so, pointed as completely to rake the road, and a nar row bridge at the foot of - a hill, - by which we were obliged to advance upon his-position. As soon as he perceived our column approaching, he opened a very heavy and continued fire of grape and mnsquetry upon us ; we however soon crossed the bridge, deployed, and charged up the bill to get posses sion of his guns, one of which we found had already fallen into the hands . , of Captain Ward's riflemen in advance. The enemy's fire now .began to slacken, and we pushed on rapidly, and Suc ceeded in driving him at all points from his posi, Lion ; while Captain Coaker, with the light corn pany of the 29th, had , gained possession of the hill on his left, from whence it was discovered that the Adams frigate was on tire, and that the enemy had deserted the battery which defended her. We were now in complete possession of the enemy's. position above, and Captain Barrie with the gun-boats had secured that -below the hill.= .Upon this occasion twenty pieces of cannon tell into our hands, of the naval and military force, the return of which I enclose ; after which. Cap tain Barrie and myself determined on pursuing . the. enemy towards Bangor, _which place we 'reached without opposition ; and here two brass three-pounders, and three •stand of colours, fell into our . 'possession. Brigadier-General Blake, also in this town, surrendered himself prisoner; and,, • with other . prisoners the amount of one hundred and twenty-one, were admitted to their paroles. Eighty prisoners taken at Hamden are in our encolly. The loss sustained by the enemy I have not' had it in my power correctly to ascot.- tain ; report states it to be from thirty to forty in wounded and missing. Our own loss; I am happy to add, is but small,; viz, , one i;ank and file killed ;'one Captain, seven rank , and file Wounded ; 'one rank and file miss ing. Captain Gell, of the 29th, was wounded . when leading the column, .which deprived me o f .his active and useful' assistance but, lam happy to add, he is recovering. I cannot close this dispatch without mentioning 'in the highest terms all the troops placed under ',my command. They have merited my highest praise for their zeal and :gallantry, which were conspicuous.. in the extreme. I feel. most .partieu •larly indebted to` Brevet-Major Riddall, of-the 6241 regiment, second in command.; to Brevet- Major Keith, of the same regiment ; Brevet ,Major Croasdaile and M . Therson, .of the 98th ; Captains Gell and Coaker, of the 29th - ; 'and Capt. Ward, of the 7th batt. 60th regiment... The royal artillery was directed in the mnstjudi cious manner by Lieut. Garston, from whom I de rived the ablest support. I cannot speak too highly of Captain Carter and the officers and ma rines under his directions. H; moved them in . the ablest manner to the annoyance of the enemy, and so as to meet my fullest approval, NotlL.g could exceed the zeal and perseverance of Lieuts. Symonds, Bote!y, and Slade, and Mr. Snarling, of the Royal Navy, with the detachment of seamen under their command. From Captain Barrie I have received the ablest assistance and support ; and it is to his masterly arrangement of the plan that I feel indebted for its success.. Nothing could be more cordial than the co-operation of the naval and military forces on this service in every instance. Captain Carnegie, of the Royal Navy, who most handsomely volunteered his services with this expedition, was in action with the troops at Ham den) ; ,and I feel most partktdarly indebted to him for his exertions and the assistance he afforded me on this , occasion —I am also gteatly indebted to Lieutenant Du Chatelet, of the 7th battalion, 60th regiment, who acted as Major of Brigade to , a ole the troops, in which capacity renu'r • te 4 " essential service.--7t have, &c. lAz n • (Signed) HENity JOON, (P.:; , ,mosuits, Na. 2.).
