wounded.
The necessary preparations being finished for crossing
the troops to Staten Island, intelligence was received
chat the enemy had moved down from the mountain, and
taken post at Quibble Town, intending, as it was given
out, to attack the rear of the army removing fromAmboy;
that two corps had allo advanced to their left, —one of
goco men and 3 pieces of cannon, under the command
of Lord Stirling, Generals Maxwell and Conway, the
left said to be a captain in the French fervice,---the other
corps confined of about 700,men, with only one piece of
cannon.
In this situation of the enemy, it was judged advife
abit to make a movement that might lead on to an at
tack, which was done the 26th in the morning in two
column : The right, under the command of Lord Corn
wallis, with Mjor General Grant, Brigadiers Mathew
and Leslie, and Colonel Donop, tock the route by Wood
bridge towards Scotch. Plains: The left column where I
was, with Major Generals Sterne, Vaughan and Grey,
Brigadiers Cleaveland and A^new, marched by Metuchin
Meeting-house to join the rear of the right column in
the road from thence to Scotch Plains, intending to have
taken separate routs, about two mites after the junc
tion, in order to have attacked the enemy's left flank at
Quibble Town. Four battalion, were detached in the
morning, with fix pieces of cannon, to take post at
Bonham Town.
Tbm right column, having fallen in with the afore
mentioned corps of 700 men soon after paffmg Wood
bridge, gave the alarm, by the firing that ensued, to their
main army at Quibble Town, which retired to the moun
tain with the utmost precipitation. The small corps was
close pushed by the light troops, api with difficulty got
off their piece of cannon.
Lord Cornwallis, soon after be was upon the road lead
ing to Scotch Plains from Metuchin Meeting-house, came
up with the corps commanded by Lord Stirling, who he
found advantageously potted in a country much covered
with wpod, and his artillery well disposed. The King's
troops vying with each other upon this occafioa, prefled
forward to such close action, that the enemy, tho' in
clitwd to resist, could not long maintain their ground
against so great impetuosity but were dispersed on all sides,
leaving behind 3 pieces of brass ordnance, 3 captains and
60 men kill'd, and upwards of 200 officers and men
wounded and taken.
His Lordship had 5 men killed, and 30 wounded.
Captain Finch of the lightcompany of the guaid°, was
the only officer who (offered, and to my great concern
the wound he received proving mortal, he died the 29th
of June, at Amboy.
The troops engaged in this action were the Ift Light
Infantry, ift British Grenadiers, id, 2d, and 3d Hessian
Grenadiers; ift Battalion of Guards, Heflian Chaffeurs,
aid the Queen's Rangers. I take the liberty of particu
larifing these corps, as Lord Cornwallis, in his report to
me so highly extols their merit and ardour upon this at
tack. One piece of cannon was taken by the Guards,
the other two by Col. Mingerode's battalion of Hessian
Grenadiers.
The enemy was purfoed as far as Weftfield with little
effect, the day proving so intensely hot, that the soldiers
could with difficulty continue their march thither; in
the mean time it gave opportunity for those flying to
cfdape by Bulking in the thick woods, until night fa
voured their retreat to the mountain.
The army lay that night at Weftfield, rteurned the
nextday to Raway, and the day following to Amboy. On
the 30th at ten o'clock in the forenoon the troops began
to cross ever to Staten-Island, and the rear guard, under
the command of Lord Cornwallis, passed at two in the
afternoon, without the least appearance of an enemy.
The embarkation of the troops is proceeding with the
utmost dispatch and I shall have the honor of fending
your Lordship further information as seen as the troops
ate landed at the place of their destination.
With the most perfect refpea I have the Honor to be
your Lordship's most faithful and most obedient Servant,

My Lord.
Elf Aving elLbii^ed a corps fufficient for the defence
l of Amboy, the army affembUd at Brunswick on,
the 12th of June. The enemy's principal force being en
camped on the mountain above Quibble Town, with a
corps of 2000 men at PrinceTown.it was thought advife
abie to make a movement in two columns from Brunswick
on the 14th in the morning, leaving Brigadier General
Mathew with 2000 men to guard that post. The firft
divifiop under the command of Lord Cornwallis ad
vanced to Hillfborough, and the second to Middle Both
under the command of Lieutenant General De Heister,
with a view of drawing on an action, if the enemy
should remove from the Mountain towards the Delaware ;
but oi finding their intention to keep a position which it
would not have been prudent to attack, I determined
without lo's of time to pursue the principal objeds of
the campaign by withdrawing the army from Jersey ; and
in consequence of this determination returned to the
camp at Brunswick on the 19th, and marched from
thence to Amboy on the 22d, intending to cross to Sta
ten Island, from whence the embarkation was to take
place.
Upon quitting the camp at Brunswick, the enemy
brought a few troops forwards with two or three pieces
<f cannon, which they fired at the utmost range without
the least execution or any return from us. They also
pushed fore battalions into the woods to harrafs the rear
where Lord Cornwallis commanded, who soon dispersed
them with the loss of only two men killed and thirteen
wounded ; the enemy having nine kilted and about 30

General Burgoyne, who arrived in the Royal George
armed tranffeort from Quebec.
Head-quarters, Skenefborough-houfe, July H>1777-
My Lord,
I Have the honor to acquaint your Lordship, that
the enemy dislodged from Ticonderoga and
Mount Independence cn the 6th instant, and were
driven on the fame day beyond Skenefborough on
the right, and to Huberton on the left, with the lots
of 128 pieces of cannon, all their armed vessels and
batteaux, the greatest part of the baggage and am
munition, provision and military stores to a very large
amount.
This success has been followed by events equally
fortunate and rapid. I subjoin such a detail of cir
cumstances as the time will permit; and, for his
Majesty's further information, I beg leave to refer
your Lordship to Capt. Gardner, my Aid de Camp,
whom I have thought it necessary to dispatch with
news so important to the King's tervice, and so ho
norable to the troops under my command.
Journal of the late principal proceedings of the Army.
Having remained at Crown-Point three Days, to
bring up the rear of the army, to establish the maga
zines and the hospital, and to obtain intelligence of
the enemy, on
June 30. I ordered the advanced corps, confid
ing of the British Light Infantry and Grenadiers,
the 24th regiment, some Canadians and Savages, and
ten pieces of light artillery, under the command of
Brigadier General Frazer, to move from Putnam
Creek, where they had been encamped some days,
up the weft shore of the lake to Four Mile Point, so
called fion being within that distance of die Fort of
Ticonderoga. The German reserve, confiding of
the Brunswick Chaffeurs, Light Infantry and Gre
nadiers, under Lieut. Col. Bre, men, were advanced
at the fame time upon the east shore.
July 1. The whole army made a movement for
ward." Brigadier Frazer's corps occupied the ftroag
post called Three Mile Point on the weft shore; the
German reserve the east shore opposite ; the right wing
of the line encamped at Four Mile Point ; the left
wing nearly opposite on the east shore. Ihe Royal
George and Inflexible frigates, with the gun boats,
were anchored just without the reach of the enemy's
batteries. The rest of the fleet had been some time
without guns, in order to assist in carrying provisions
over Lake Champlain.
The enemy appeared to be posted as follows : A
brigade occupied the old French Lines upon the
height northward of the Fort of Ticonderoga.---
These lines were in good repair, and had several in
tienchments behind them, chiefly calculated 10 guard
the north-weft flank, and they were further sustained
by a Block-house. To the left of these works about
a mile, the enemy had sawmills, and a post sustained
by a Block-house, and another Block-house, and an
Hospital, at the entrance of Lake George. Upon
the right of the French lines, and between them and
the old Fort, there were two new'Block-houfes, and
a confiderahle battery close to the water-edge.
It seemed that the enemy had employed their chief
industry, and were in greatest force, upon Mount
Independence, which is high and circular; and upon
the summit, which is table-land, were a Star Fort
made with pickets, and well supplied with artillery,
and a large square of barracks within it.
The foot of the Mount, which projects into the
lake, was intrenched and covered with a strong Aba
tis close to the water. This intrenchment was lined
with heavy artillery pointing down the lake, flanking
the water-battery above described/ and sustained by
another battery above half way up the mount. On
the wett fide the mount runs the main river, and in
its passage round is joined by the water which comes
down from Lake George. On the east fide of the
mount the water forms a small bay, into which falls
a rivulet, after having encircled in its course part of
the mount to the south-east. The fide to the south
could not be seen, but was described as inaccessible.
There was a bridge between the Mount and Ticon
deroga, which also was unseen.
July 2. About 9 o'clock in the morning a smoke
was observed towards Lake-George, and the Indians
brought in a report that the enemy had set fiie to their
further block-house, and had abandoned the saw
mills ; and that a considerable body were advancing
from the lines towards a bridge upon the road which
led to the right of the British camp. A detachment
of the advanced corps was immediately put in march
under Brigadier Frazer, supported by a Brigade of
the line and some artillery, under the command of
Major Gen. Phillips, with orders to proceed towards
Mount Hope, which is th? north of the lines, to
reconnoitre the enemy's position, and to take advan
tage of any post they might abandon or be driven
from.
The Indians under Capt. Frazer, supported by his
company of maikfmen, were directed to make a
circuit to the left cf Brigadier Frazer's line of march,
and endeavour to cut off the retreat of the enemy to
their lines ; but this design mifearried through the
impetuosity cf the Indians, who attacked tco soon,
and in front, and the enemy were thereby able tore
tire with the loss of one officer and a few men killed,
and one officer wounded. Major Gen. Phillips took
possession of the very advantageous post of Mount
Hope,this night, and theenemy were thereby entirely
cut off from a communication with Lake-George.
July 3. Mount Hope was occupied in force by
Brigadier Frazer's whole Brigade, the firft Brigade
British, and two entire Brigade's of artillery. The
second Brigade British encamped upon the left cf the
firft, and the Brigade of Gall having been drawn
from the east shore to occupy the ground where Fra
zer's corps had been on Three Mile Point, the line
became compleat, extending from the shore to the
wetternmoft part of Mount Hope. On the fame day
Major General Reidefel encamped on the east Unrein
a parallel Line with Three Mile Point, having pufh'd
the reserve forward near the rivulet which is on the
east of Mount Independence. The enemy cannona
ded the camps of Mount Hope and of the German
reserve most part of the day, but without effe&.
July 4. The army worked hard at their commu
nications, and got up the artillery, tents, baggage,
and provisions. The enemy at intervals continued
the cannonade upon the camps, whicli was not in any
instance returtfed.
The Thunderer Redeati carrying the battering
train and 4 ^res, having been warped up from Crown
Point, arrived this day, and immediately began to
land the artillery.
July 5. Lieut. Twifs, the commanding Engineer,
was ordered to reconnoitre Sugar Hill, on the south
weft fide of the communication from Lake George
into Lake Champlain. It had appeared from the firft
to be a very advantageous post ; and it is now known
that the enemy had a council some time ago upon
The gun boats were immediately moved forward,
and the boom and one of the intermediate floats were
cut with great dexterity and dispatch : And Commo
dore Lutwidge, with the officers and seamen in his
department, partaking the general animation, a pas
sage was found in half an hour for the frigates also,
through impediments, which the enemy had been
labouring ten months together to make impenetrable.
During these operations Major General Reidefel had
passed to Mount Independence, with the corps of
Bieymen and part of the left wing. He was directed
to proceed by land to sustain Brigadier Frazer, or to
a& more to the left, if he saw it expedient so to do.
The 6zd regiment British, and the Brunswick regi
ment of Prince Frederic were left at Ticonderoga
and Mount Independence, in the place of the parties
of Frazier's Brigade, which had remained in pos
session of the stores, and the rest of the army were
ordered to follow up the river, as they could be col
le&ed, without regard to the place of corps in the
line. About three in the afternoon I arrived with
the Royal George and Inflexible, and the best failing
gun boats and batteaux at South Bay, within three
miles of Skenefborough, at which latter place I
learned the enemy were posted in a stockaded Fort,
and their armed gallies at the Falls below.
The forernoft regiments, viz. the 9th, 20th, and
21st, were instantly diLmbarked, and afeended the
mountain, with intention cf burning the fort and
cutting off the retreat of the enemy, but their pre
cipite flight rendered this manoeuvre ineffectual.—
The gun boats and frigates continued their course to
Skenefborough Falls. Capt. Carter, with part of his
brigade of gun boats immediately attacked the gal
lies, and with so much spirit that two of them very
soon druck, the other three were blown up ; and the
enemy having pfevioufly prepared combustible mate
rials, set fire to the fort, mills, storehouses, batteax,
&c. and retired with the detachment left for that
purpose, the main body having gone off, when the
troops were afeending the mountain. A grearquan
tity of provision and some arms were here confirmed,
and moit part of their officets baggage was burned,
funk, or taken. Their loss in the attack is not
known; about 30 prisoners were made, among which
were two wounded officers. During these operati
ons upon the right, Brigadier Frazer had continued
his pursuit on the road to Caftletown till one o'clock,
having marched in a very hot day from four in the
morning. Some stragglers of the enemy had been
picked up, from whom the Brigadier learnt that
their rear guard was composed of chosen men, and
commanded by Colonel Francis, one of their best
officers. While the men were refreshing Major Gen.
Reidefel came up, and arrangements having been
concerted for continuing the pursuit, Brigadier Fra
zer moved forward again, and during the night lay
upon his arms in an advantageous situation.
July 7. At 3 in !the morning he renewed his
march, and about 5 his advanced scouts difeovered
the enemy's centnes, who fired their })feces and
joined their main body. The Brigadier observing a
commanding ground on the left of his light infan
try, immediately ordered it to be pofleffed by that
corps; and a confiderahle body cf the enemy at
tempting the fame, they met. The enemy were
driven back to their original post. The advanced
guard under Major Grant were by this time engag
ed, and the grenadiers were advanced to sustain
them, and to prevent the right flank from being
turned. The Brigadier remained on the left, where
the enemy, aided by logs and trees, defended them
selves long. After being dislodged and prevented
getting to the Caftleton road by the grenadiers,
they rallied and renewed the a&ion. They were
again driven, and attempted to retreat by Pittsford
Mountain ; but the grenadiers scrambled up what
had appeared an inaccessible part of the afeent, and
gained the summit before them. This threw them
into cnofufion. They were still nevertheless greatly
superior in number, and consequently in extent,
and the Brigadier, in momentary expe&ation of the
arrival of the Germans, had latterly weakened his
left to support his right. At this critical moment
Major Gen. Reidefel arrived with the foremoft of
his column, viz. the Chaffeur company and 80
grenadieis and light infantry. His judgment in
stantly pointed to him the course to take. He de
pended upon Brigadier Frazer's left flank. Major
Berner led the Chaffeurs into action with great gal-
the expediency of poflefliog it j but tltc idea was re
jected upon the supposition that it was impcmoic for
a corps to be eftabhfnrd there in force. Lieut. 1 w.fs,
reported this H'll to have the entire command 0.
the works and buildings both of Ticonderoga and
Mount Independence; that the ground might be level
led so as to receive cannon; and that a road to con
vey them, though difficult, might be made practica
ble in 24 hours. This Hill also entirely commanded
in reverie the bridge of communication, law the exaCt
situation of the vessels, nor could the enemy during
the day make any material movement or preparation
without being difeovered, and even having their
numbers counted.
It was immediately determined that a battery
should be railed upon Sugar Hill for light 24 poun
ders, medium twelves, and eight-inch howitzers.
This very arduous work was carried on so rapidly
that the battery would have been ready the next day.
It is a duty in this place to do some justice to the
zeal and activity of Major Gen. Phillips, who had
the direction of the operation ; and having menti
oned that most valuable officer, 1 trust it cannot be
thought a digression to add, that it is to his judici
ous arrangements and indefatigable pains, during
the general Superintendency of preparations which
Sir Guy Carleton entrusted to him in the winter
and spring, that the service is indebted for its pre
sent forwardnefs ; the prevalence of contrary winds
and other accidents having rendered it impossible for
any necessaries prepared in England for the opening
of the campaign yet to reach the army.
July 6. Soon after day-light an officer arrived
express on board the Royal George, where in the
night I took my quartets as the melt centrical situa
tion, with reformation fiom Brigadier Frazer that
the enemy were retiring, and that he was advancing
with his Piquets, leaving orders for the Brigade to
follow as soon as they could accoutre, with intention
to pursue by land. This movement was very soon
difceinable, as were the British colours which the
Brigadier had fixed upon the Fort of Ticonderoga.
Knowing how fafely I could trust to that officer's
condu&, I turned my chief attention to the puifuit
by water, by which route I had intelligence one co
lumn were retiring in 220 battefux, covered by five
armed gallies.
The great bridge of communication, thro' which
a way was to be opened, was supported by 22 sun
ken piers of large timber, at nearly equal distances.
,The spaces between were filled by separate floats,
each about 50 feet long and 12 feet wide, strongly
fattened together by chains and rivets, and also faf
tened to the sunken piers. Before this bridge was
a boom made of very large pieces of round timber,
faftened together by rivetted bolts and double chains
made of iron an inch and half square.
lantry, arid they were equally ^<llfuftained. Fur
enemy fled on all sides, leaving dead upon the fie;J
Col. Franc', and many other officers, and upwards
of 200 private men. Above 600 wete wounded,
many of whom perished in the woods attempting to
get off; a.d I colonel, 7 captains, 10 fabalterns,
and 210 men, were made prifonets. The number
of the enemy before the a&ion amounted by the re
port of the prisoners, to 2000 mtn, and they were
strongly posted. The British detachment under Bri
gadier Frazer, (the parties left at Ticonderoga the
day before not having been able to rejoin) confided
only of 850 fighting men. The bare relation cf so
signal an action is fufficient for its ptaife: Should
the attack against such inequality cf numbers be
fore the Germans came up teem to require explana
tion, it is to be considered that the enemy might have
escaped by delay ; that the advanced guard found
themselves on a fuddm too near th< enemy to avoid
action without retreating; and that the Brigadier
had supposed the German troops to be very near.
The difference of time in their arrival was merely
accidental. Major Gen. Reidefel and t^ofe he com
manded pressed for a share of glory, and they ar
rived in time to obtain it. I have only to add upon
this event, that the exertions qf Brigadier Frazer,
were but a continuance of that uniform intelligence,
activity, and bravery, which distinguish his chara&er
upon all occasions, and entitle him to be recom
mended in the most particular manner to his Ma
jesty's notice. The other officers and soldiers of
this corps have prevented any distinctions of indivi
duals by a general and equal display of spirit.
On the fame day [July 7] the country people
about Skenefborough having reported that part of
the enemy were retreating upon Wood Creek, the
9th regiment was detached to take post near Fort
Anne, to observe their motions. This was effected,
though with much difficulty, thq roads being ex
tremely bad and the bridges broken. The other
troops were employed all that day and night in drag
ging 5° batteaux over the falls to facilitate the move
ment of the rest cf the firft brigade to Fort Anne,
to dislodge the enemy there.
July 8. A report was received from Lieut. Col.
Hill, commanding the 9th regiment, that the enemy
had been reinforced in the night by a considerable
body of frefh troops ; that he could not retire before
them with his regiment, but would maintain his
ground. The two remaining regiments of the firft
brigade under Brig, Powell were ordered to quicken
their march ; and, upon second intelligence of the
force of the enemy, and firing being heard, the zotli
regiment was ordered forward, and Major-General
Phillips, with some pieces of artillery, was sent to
take the command.
A violent storm of rain, which lasted the whole
day, prevented these troops from getting to Fort
Anne so soon as was intended ; but the delay gave
the 9th regiment an opportunity of diftinguilhing
themselves by standing and repulsing an attack of fix
times their numbers. The enemy finding the positi
on not to be forced in front, endeavoured to fui round
it; and, from the superiority of their numbers, that
inconvenience was to be apprehended, and Lieut.
Colonel Hill therefore found it necessary to change
his ground in the heat of the a&ion. So critical an
order was executed by the regiment with the greatest
steadiness and bravery. The enemy, after an attack
of three hours were totally repulsed with great loss.
They fled towards Fort Edward, setting fire to Fort
Ann, but leaving a saw-mill and block-house in
good repair, which latter was afterwards pofleffed by
the King's 'troops. The 9th regiment acquired,
during their expedition, about 30 prisoners, some
stores and baggage, and the colours of the second
Hampshire regiment. The accidents to counter-ba
lance these several successes are few. The service has
loft an officer of great gallantry and experience in
Major Grant. The other officers killed are also to be
much regretted. Captain Montgomery of the 9th
regimen:, an pfncer of much merit, was wounded in
the leg early in the a&ion, and was in the a& of
being drafted by the surgeon, when the regiment
changed ground; being unable to help himfelf, he
and the surgeon were taken prisoners. I hear he has
been well treated, arid is in a fair way recovering at
Albany. The wounded officers and men in general
here ate also likely to do well.
July g and 10. The army much fatigued, many
parts of it having wanted their provisions for two
days, almost the whole their tents and baggage, as
sembled in their present position. The right wing
occupies the Height of Skrnfborough in two lines,
covered on the right flank by Reidefel's dragoons,
en Potence: the left flank to Wood Creek. The
Brunswick Troops, under Major General Reidefel,
are upon the Caftleton River with Breymen's corps,
upon communication cf roads towards Pulteney
and Rutland. The regiment of Htffe Hanau are
at the head of East Creek, to preserve the communi
cation with the camp at Caftleton, and secure the bat
teaux. Brigadier Frazer's corps is in the center to
move on either wing cf the army.
The remains of the Ticonderoga army are at
Fort Edward, where they have been joined by con
siderable corps of frefh troops.
Roads are opening to march to them by Fort Anne,
and the Wood Creek is clearing of fallen trees,
sunken Rones, and other obstacles, to give passage
to bateaux carrying artillery, stores, provisions,
and camp equipage. These are laborious works:
but the spirit and zeal of the troops are fufficient to
surmount them. In the mean time all possible dili
gence is using at Ticonderoga to get gun boats,
batteaux and provision vessels into Lake George.
A corps of the army will be ordered to penetrate l)v
that route, which will be afterwards the route of
the magazines; and a junction of the whole is
intended at Fort Edward.
I trahfmit to your Lordflrip herewith returns of
the killed and wounded, and lifts of such parts of
the artillery, provisions and fores taken from the
enemy as could be colleaed in so Short a time. By
a written account found in the Commissary's house
