SPAM FlONT.—Montay morning the Firft &Trent
Lambeth, Streatham, Camberwell, and Tooting Vo-
lunteers, affembled on their different parades, to ar-
range the plan of a (ham fight and field day, as it was
intimated tothem that her RoyallHiglthefs thePrincefa
of Watts would honour them with her prefence.—
It was determined that half of the Fir* Surrey, half of
the Lambeth, and the whole of the Streatham Vo-
lunteers, mould compote the Englifis party ; and that
the other half of the Surrey and Lambeth and the
whole of the Camberwell and Tooting Volunteers,
mould form the French. The parties, amounting to
about Soo men each, fkirmithing dieifions, &c. hay-
ing been properly told off, the French marched firff
and took polrefflon of Denmark Hill, near Dulwich.
for which they contended with much (kill; but on the
advance of the main body of the Englilh, they fled in
all directions, and one company of the Lambeth regi-
ment was fo completely beret by the flankers of the
advancing party, that a flag of truce was difpatched
to the Englifh, requelling that they might be per•
mitted to return to their party with all the honours
of war, which being granted, the fight was retuned.
—The village of Dulwich now became the fcene of
sake for full two hours, during which freer firing.
attempting to flank the enemy at the outikirte of the
town, rallying the main body, charging with bayo.
net, were all tried before the French could be driven
from the flrong pofition they had taken. At length.
however, they found it neceffary to beat their retreat
to Sydenhsm Common, and took poffeifion of the
hills. On the advance of the Englifla a general action
commenced, which felled a cunfiderable time, and
owing to the bong pofition of the French, it teemed
impoffible to role them. To accomplifh this, fltir-
nsifhing parties, riflemen. and light infantry, were
difpittehed in every direittion, to cover the advance
of the main body of the Englifh, who, after expire.
encir; many dif4culties, fueceeded IA obtaining
vidury over the enemy.
