Brigadier General STawAtvi learned where the ene-
my's infantry was. A, small party whom he de-
wiled under Col, Otwavr, succeeded perfe.aly in
cutting off the advanced picquet,. and after a brisk
fire or

and .proceeding with the remainder to Seco, he
fell lei with a patrole of an Officer and 22 men,
fifteen were made prisoners, and two killed;
