they were formed, and advaucing.--4he exact mn.

mostly British
,regulars. As they. bad been fre-
quently seen to parade and exercise on the ice, it
Was not believed by our officers that their object
was to attck the village of Ogdensburg, until
tliey had passed more than halt across the St.
Lawrence: the enemy at that time divided, the
one half going above, and the other below the

W hut advanced towards this shore with
rapidity ; before they reached the bank, each di,
vision clOsed, by rashing apparently without or-

the new barraeks, east of the village, were press-
ed by the polio; of the bayonet, and fled, panic-
struck,

racks, exchanged a few shot 'with the upper divi-

with one cannon, being removed to the hill near
Mr. Ilasbrouck's house, he effected his ret.reat on
the road to Black Lake. We lost six men killed,

were wounded, 750 stand at 0111)S, a great titian-
