We marched too the bank Of the river, and
found our progress checked by creek, which was
impossible. We were then compelled to march up
mile, in ORDER to effect Passage over the creek.
This gave the enemy time TO make their arrange.

down the creek We found them formed |; they com

the detachment formed upon the WINGS and
the two companies of infantry in the centre. The
men moved OH with spirit and aacrity. After the
first discharge the British retrcaled-we continued
advancing. Three times they formed, and often
retreated, We drove them about half a mile, when
1t became SO dark that we were obliged to relin
