BATTLE OF QUEENSTOWN.

By the Intei!igencer IF last Evening
we reCeysd Gen. Van Rensselaer's &C
sount Of the battle at Queenstown. 1t
arrived too late for insertion in this days
paper. The General confirms the state
Msnts which we have already given.-
He stAtcs that The troops under his COM
Dand were SO anxious for the enterprise
that they Threatened to go home, unless
permitted to act; that previous to any
attempt 10 dislodge the enemy from the
heights Of Queenstown, a spy had been
procured TO obtain all necessary infor-
nation respecting the situation of the
enemy, who executed his commission,
and returned with such information as
induced the General to make the
first attenpt at crossing the river On
the morning oftbs nth inst. In this at
tempt however he proved unsuccessful.
Lieutenant Sim, who was considered
best qualified to direct the boats in their
passage across the riyor, in the extreme
darkness OF the night, passed the place
embarkation, and after fastening his
boat, in which wsrc q ] the cars, aban.
aoned the detachment! The troops Of
course were obliged TO return. On the
morning of the 18th however, about the
break of day, they crossed the river, and
succeeded in eifvcting landing, not
wi,hstanding the severe opposition o! the
enemy. The result is al;c~ady known.
The Gent. attributes his defeat to the ar
rival of the reinforcement under Gent.
Brock, * the positive refusal Of the mill
tia upon the opposite side of the river to
march in aid Of their fellow soldiers en-
gagged in the conflict Gen. Brock is stat
ed in this account to be killed. 1t appears
frou Gen. Van Rcuseilear's statement
-thattho immediate objec, contemplatedin
the attempt to dislodge the enemy from
the heights of Queenstown, was to get
possession of the village where the
troops might be sheltered from the dis
~trcssinS incleucncy Of tho weather" !

Though &C cannot calculate upon that
general reformation in politics which the
disastrous policy of the government
