highest characters in this Country, both in rsnk and respectabi-
ITty, to have no equal. Their public approbation, given to the

When the forCeit anided in Canidaiiiiify
With an ardent 'zeal, and stimelate'd ',nth the hope
Of eon:clue:l.. No enemy appeared Within"view an
end had an inunefliate and vigormis art lc k been made%
upon Maldisi,'it would idonbtless have faliCn an easy
victory. I indw general %ilia aftttwards declared
he tegretted'thia Attack had not been made. • In the
course of tlitet weeks the cannon was mounted, • the
ammdnitlen, and every Piepiration made for an imp
mediate investment 0-,phe Fort. At a Council, at
which Were,present all the 'Field Offlcert, and which
wag held two days befOre out prepaiations were com-
pleted, it was unanimously agreed to make an imMe•
diate attempt to accomplish the abject of this expe.
dition ; but a change of /measures, in opposition to
the wishes and opinions of the CliEeers, was adopted
by the General. The plan of attacking Malden was
abandoned, and instead of acting offensively, we
broke up our carrip, and evacuated Canada; and re:
crossed the river in the night, without evep the sha. •
dow of an enemy to injure tts. We left to the tender
mercy of an enemy the miserable Canadians who had
joitr:d us, and the protection we afforded then! Wai
but a passport to vengeance. This fatal and unac-
countable step dispirited the troops, and destroyed
the little confidence which a series of fmid, irrem-
-lulei and indecisive measures had left in the Com:
mantling Officer.
I " About the 10th of August, the enemy received
the reinforcement of 400 men. On the 12th the Corn.
manding Officers of three of the regiments (the 4:h
was absetul were informed, through a Medit.m kv.;ich
!ndnftted of do doubt, that the Gineral had stated
' that a capitttl.ni:n would be necessary.
a As no enemy was near us, and as the stipesio.
thy of our force was manifest, the could no ne.
eissity for capitulating, nor any propriety in alluding
to it. We therefore determined, 'thelakresi)if.
'to incur the respclnsibility of divesting the r4isrsi
of his command: Thig plan Was eventually pievetned
by two Commanding Officers of toginents being ee-
dered upon detachments.
" On the 13th, the British took a postticei Oppcisqe
to Detroit, and began ,to threw up works. Dbeng
t'iat and the two following days, they puriued their
object without interruption, and established a batteir
for two 13 pounders and an 8-inch howitzer. Aboot
sun-set on the evening of the 14th, a detachment 6E
350 men, from the regiment commanded
M'Arthur and myself; was ordered to marl% to the
Raisin, to escort the provisions.
" On Saturday, the 15th, about one o'clock, a flag
of truce arrived from Sandwich, bearing a summons
from General BrOck, for the surrender of the town'
and fort of Detroit, Eating, he could no longer re-
strain the fury of the savages. To this an imm.,diate
and spirited refusal was returned. About four o'clock
theii batteries began to play upon the town. The
fire was returned and continued without interruption,
and with little effect, until dark. Their shells wets
thrown till eleven o'clock.

1/4 At bay
-liglit the firths On both sides reecett-
Menced t about the same time the enemy began to
land troops at the Springwells, three miles below De-
r troit, protected by two of their armed vessels.
44 Between six and seven o'clock they effected their
landing; and immediately took tip their line of march.
They moved in a close column of platoons, 12 in
front, upon the bank ef the river.
" The 4th regiment was stationed In the fort; the
011:o volunteers, and a part of the Michigan militia,
behind some pickets, in a situation in whiet the whole
flank of the enemy would have been eXpoted: lfhe
residue of the Michigdn militia were in the upper
pait of the town to resist the incursions df die lavegks.
Two 24-pounders loaded with grape-shot *ere p isle
ed upon a 'commanding eminence, ready to sweep
the advancing column. In this' situation, the snipe.
riority of our position was apparent. •
6. .Whett the head of their column arriied ;titbit
about 100 yards of our line, criers were received
from General Hull for the whole to ret• eat to the fort,
and. for the 24-pounders not to open upon the enemy:
The fort was in this manner filled; the men were
directed to stack their arms, and scarcely was an op-
poi tnnity afforded of moving. Shortly after a white
Hag was Ming out upon the walls. A British officer
rode up to inquire the cause. A communication
passed between the Commanding Generals; which
ended in the Capitulation submitted to you.
es Out morning report had that morning made our
effective men present fit for duty 1030, without in-
chiding the detachment bef ire alluded to/ And with.
out including 800 of the Michigan militia on duty.
4 I have been informed by Colonel Findley, who
saw the return of their Quarter-Master-General the
day after the surrender, that their whole force of
every description, White, red, and black, was 1080.
They had 29 platoons, 12 in a platoon, of men dress-
ed in uniform. Many of these were evidently Carta-,
dian militia. The rest of their militia increa7d their
white force to about 700 men.
41 The number of their Indians could not be ascere
rained with any &wee of precision : not Many were
visible I and on the event of an attack upon the mita
'and fort, it was a species of force Which could haVe
afforded no material advantage to the enerny.
44 In endeavouring to appteciate the motive, and
to investigate the causes, which led to the event So
unexpected and dishonourable, it is impostibie to find
any solinion in the relative strength of 11:e eonbtna.
ing parties, or in the measures of resistance in tour
power. That we were far Superior to the enemy:—
that tipon illy ordinary principles of calculation', *e
would have defeated them, the wotinded and ildig-
nant feelings of every man there will testify.: •-,
" A few days before the .surrender, I was inforit*d
by General Hull,, we had 400 rounds of 24-poend
JOWL fixed, and Omit 00,9;0 'ca rtkidieFnade. Wit
_ .
.• • •

surrendered with the tort 400 barrels of powder, and
2500 stand of arms.

The state of our ,provisions has not been gene-
iy understood. On the day of the surrender we
15 days' provisions of every kind on hand. Had
been totally destitute of provisions, our duty and
interest undoubtedly was to fight. But basely to
surrender, without firing a guff—tamely to submit,
-ithout raising a bayonet—disgracefully to pass in
flew before an enemy as inferior in the quality as
the number of his forces, were circumstances
which excited feelings of indignation more easily felt
than described.

" I am expressly authorised te state, that Colonel
:Arthur, and Colonel Findley, and Lieutenant-
Colonel Miller, view this transaction in the light
ich I do.
" Confident I am, that had the courage and con..
:t of the General been equal to the spirit an.l zeal
the trcops, the event would have been as brilliant
.. successful as it is now disastrous and dishonour-
