flotilla will be destroyed. The enemy will be in
great numbers on Lake Champlain after his junc-
tion at Plattsburgh ; but we rejoice to see, from
the paragraph which follows, that even there the
British force is employed with activity and vi-

tertained for the fate of Montreal. Our whole

On the 3d, however, our Expedition captured
the guard boat, with eight men, and 30 butteaux,
