GENINtAL ORDER,

lILCAD-4UARTtitSi SiINGSTOW.
Atljthaht-General's Office, July 24, 1813.
All Express was received .at Kingston on the
20th inst. announcing that a brigade of batteaux,
loaded with provisions, under the .eonVoy of a
gun-boat of the second class, bad been surprised
and, captured by daybreak, by a party' of the ene-
my, who had crossed the liver with• two armed
sloops.
,Titrgc gun-boats were' immediately dispatched
from Aingston under the command of Lientenant
Scott, Royal Navy, with the view of intercepting
the enemy if they should attempt to pass by the
smith side of the river, and a detachment of the
100th Regiment, under Captain Martin, pro-
ceeded ,by the northern channel. These parties
united below Long Island, and having learnt that
the enemy had carried the captured hatteanx into
Goose Creek, tthey immediately pushed! for that
place ; but before they got sight of The enemy's
_sloops, the evening was 30 far 1104111 mi as to pre-
elude the possibility of attacking them before
,dark. Jr was, therefore, determined to defer it
. until the ensuing morning,,and the gunboats re-
turned to, the entrance of the stream, where they
met a detachment otlhe ellst Regiment, utt`h
nn-boat, tinder Major-Freml, who assumed the
command of the whole ; and at three o'clock -in
the morning,. proceeded up 4,10 e Creek in the hope
4)1 gaining the enemy's position by CLAWII of (lily,
when it was discovered that the enemy had re-
moved their sloops sevetai miles higher up
Creek, where the channel became so narrow that
the gun-boats could not use their oars, nor turn,
so as to bring their gnus to hear upon the banks,
and their turther progress was 'here impeded, by
large trees felled across the stream. In the attempt
to remove these obstacles, the' party was fired
upon by the shmps, and from a gun in a log fort,
which the enemy had,erected on the left bank, as
well as from mnsketry,on the same side of the
Creek, which was covered with thick wood, and
where the enemy was posted in a very strong po-
sition.

A detachment of troops had been landed on the
right bank, from whence it was fotitol to be
practicable to gain the enemy's position. These
troc!ps immediately retnriw(l and embarked in the
stermuost boats to cross over to the left bank,
but from the swampy nature of the soil, no lit;
place for landing could be found. The leadiog
boat being exposed to a heavy and galling fire,
and having so many of her crew wounded as to
cheek the lire of her gun," the only one that could
be brought to bear owthe enemy, the troops, led
by Lieut. Fawcett of the 20th Regiment, in the
most gallant.manner, leaped into the water, and
carrying'' their arms and
,ammunition over their
heads, succeeded in 'gaining the land, and in-
statoly drove the enemy with .precipitatiotf, to
,seek shelter within a log intrenehment, tcs which
he was pursued. The undaunted gallantry dis-
played by the troops on this oceasioo, iVas calcu-
lated to surmouncevery obststele, but the e'nenty
appearing to receive numerous reinforcements
from ,the interior, and the very great natural
strength of the position in which he was posted,
added to the impracticability of the goo-boatS,
