STI3,

I have had the honour of infOrming your Ex-
cellency, that the enemy effected his. passage
across the Detroit River on the 12th ultimo,
without opposition, and that after establishing
hiniSelf at Sandivich, he had ravaged the country
as far as the Mark-Via town, Soine skirmishes oc-
'eurred betweenthe troops under Lieutenant-Co-
' loticl St. George and the enemy upon the river
Canard,: which Uniformly terminated in his being
reptilsed with loss. I judged it proper-to detach
:d' force down the River: Tlnitnes, capable of act-
tng in conjunction with the garrison of Amherst-
ant offensively, but Captain Chambers, whom I
*ld altpointed to direct this detachment; experi-
enced (Jitliculties that frustrated my intentions.
The intelligence received: froin,that quarter 'ad-7
ialitting of no delay, ColdnelAhoctor was di-
'rected to assume the command; al-IJ. his force was
'soon after increased: with six'ty milk and -file' of
