NICE SIXPENCE-HALFPENNY.

ibelter in Sandy Creek, I proceeded to that pb*t
(having ordered Captain Spilsbury to accompany Me)
and reached the entrance of it shortly after day-light
yestenhvy morning. I landed, accompanied by Cap-
tain Spltsbury and some of the Officers, and having
reconnoitred their position, determined on an imme-
diate attack. The masts of their boats (consisting of
eighteen) were plainly seen over the marsh, and, from
their situation, did not appear to be very near the
woods; and their not attempting to interrupt our
entry into the creek, led me to hope they were only
I protected by militia. This circumstance, added to
the vary great importance of the lading of their
boats, to the equipment of their. squadron, was a
strong motive for me to risk the attack, not aware
that they brought their riflemen in their boats. and
that a body of Indians had accompanied them along
the beach.
The boats advanced cautiously to within about a
quarter of a mile of the enemy, when Lieutenant Cox,
of the Royal Marines, was landed, with the principal
part of his men, on the left bank; and Captain Spils-
bury and Lieutenant Browne, with the cohorn and
small arm party, accompanied GT Lieut. M.Veagh,
with a few marines, were landed on the right bank.
Their respective parties advanced on the flanks of
the gun-boats ( which had, from their file, dispersed
a body of Indians) to a turning which opened the
enemy's boats to our view, when, unfortunately, the
68-pounder carronade, on which much depefided,
Was disabled.
Seeing us pulling the boat round. to bring the 24-
pounder to bear, the enemy thought we were cons.
mencing a retreat, when they advanced with their
whole hece, consisting of 150 riflemen, near 200
Indians, and a numerous body of militia and cavalry,
which soon overpowered the few men I bad. Their
resistance wits such as I could have expected frail a
brave and wcil-disciplined body ; but, opposed to
soch nuntsers, unavailing : their Officers set them
an example honourable to themselves, and worthy of
a better fate.

Captain Spilkbary, for a time, checked the advance
of the enemy by the fire which he kept up with the
cohorn and his party ; arid I feel much indebted to
him for his conduct ibmughnut.
Lieutenants eve and M.Veaih, whn nobly sun.
ported the honour of their corps, art, I am sorry to
rsay, dangerously wounded.
Mr. Hoare, Master's Mate of the Montteal, whnoe
conduct was conspicuous throughout, is tie only
Officer killed.

Our loss in killed and wounded (mostlr flange.
rout) is great. I send as correct a return As I can
possibly get of them, as well as of the survivors.
The winding of the creek, which gave the enemy
great advantage in advancing to intercept our retry 41,
rendered any further perseverance unavailing, and
wfr have subjected the menu) certain death.
Lientenants Maxiocitsaairs and Itoeie, in rise rear,
whir the small boats, did every thing in their power ;
and Lieutenant Loveday's exertions, in the Laos
I gun-hoar, was such as I was much pleased with.
The exertions of the American Officers of the rifle
corps, commanded by Major Appling, in saving the
lives of many of the Officers and men, whorn their
own men and the Indians were devoting to de.ith,
were conspicuous, and claim oar warmest gratitude.
I have the honour to be, &c.
