). d. Beekman, surgeon to the 10TH regt
U. 5. infantry. has just reached this village
from Buffalo, which he left ON Tuesday last.
He states that previous to his departure an
express had arrived from gen. Van Rensse-
laer, bringing Intelligence that about 1000
troops under his command had crossed the
river at Lcwistown and at the meadows
2 miles below, at 4 o'clock that NOR
ming (; that the batteries on the mountain
at Queenston and on the river below that
place, were taken possession by our troops
alter very severe conflict, and that about
1900 of the enemy were taken prisoners
The express understood it to be the deter
mination of our troops to make an immedi-
ate attack on Fort George, * as the Cannon
aiding had ceased previous to our infornant's
leaving Buffalo, it was supposed the fort had
surrendered. The troops at Buffalo were
on their march towards Lewiston, doubtless
with an intention to form juaction with the
American troops at Queenston. Further
particulars of this affair have not reached
us.
