F" Amongst the papers found in general
Proctor's baggage was plan for The at
tack on this place in July last, which was
only prevented by general Yincents recall
ing body of troops which had been
transported across by their vessels which
had been lowering in sight Of this harbour
for some time. 1t appears that general
Vincent had received some information Of
a movement expected to be made by our
troops at Fort George, which determined
him to recall those he had sent to Long
Point,
" Commodore Barclay was standing on
the bank of the Lake, yesterday morning
previous to his going on board the Ariel
for Buffaoe, and was asked by a gentle
man at what point he intended to have de-

making the attempt to do so, would be re

Extract of a letter from Saosetfs Har-
Dor, dated EoU. 4.
"Our campaign in this quarter is draw

they cannot keep the lake longer than four
weeks more. Hhas been perhaps the most
unfortunate weather for operations that has
occurred here for long time; not three
days together for the last six weeks that
were pleasant. Our fleet is out chief of the

neighboring lands The British fleet under

BURLINGTON, tyt) Nov le.

We mentioned in our last, the return 'of
General Hampton's army to the corners
various rumours are abroad, as to the
cause of its return, the amount OF our loss,
&c-We have endeavoured to collect the
facts, and tie following we think, may. be
relied on The army moved in two dHi-
sions, one on thesouth-west SIDE ot.the Cha
teauctiay river, and the other on the north
east Every precaution had been taken by
the enemy to intercept its progress The
roads were filled with trees, which had been
previously felled in every direction; the
bridoes we're DESTROYED and the houses bernt
or pulled down Notwithstanding the i'm
pediments, ina country almost imperpieus
by woods and swamps, the light corps un
der the command of Major Smelling, sur,
pFised one of the ehemy's posts olhthe Gath,
killed s, and took number of stands OF
arms and blankets On the Goth, oar adj
vapced guards were attacked by body of
regulars. Voltigeurs, and Indians, on the
north east side of the river, near the Red
Rapids, but were driven back with consl
derable loss. by detachment consisting OF
one company of the 5th under capt. Brooke,
and one company of the 10th, commanded
by capt Nelsong these brave fellows, who
had marched from Norfolk, Virgo and
had not one days rest after they joined the
army, presented firm front, and kept up
awell directed fire, when ordered to charge
they drove the enemy at the bayonet point,
although thew were much superior in mum
bers Ca the evening of the sam- day, the
divisions on the other side of the river, were
attacked we understand their orders were,
to proceed by forced marches, and cross at
the Red Rapids, which would have placed
the enemy's van between our divisions, but
from the ignorance of the guides they were
detained too long the enemy were repufs-
ed, though our men were worn out by
marching day and night The attack was
renewed In the night with no bettersuccsss,
and on the morning of the 9th they torded
the river without interruption, and on the
2Sth the enemy being strongly reinforced,
and hearing nothing from Gen. Wilkinson,
the army returned to the corners; Our loss
in these skirsnishes is 90 killed and 81
wounded. The loss of the enemy was nm
questionably much greater, as the superb
ority of our fire was evident, and III every
instance they were repuised. We believe
our loss was entirely from the 10th, 3Sd
and saith, the remainder OF the army not
being engaged. no officers killed, the woun-
ded are all doing we'll a Major Baker,
volunteer from Orange county, ~ Y, was
badly wounded, but is out OF danger. The
force Of the enemy according to deserters'
reports, several of whom have come in,
was from 8 to 1000, commanded by Gov.
Provost, in person.

ARMY.
An officer direct from the army of Gen.
Hampton, which he left on the 4th instant,
and who was in the late engagement, has
favored us with the following facts, the cor
rectness of which may be implicitly relied
on 4 detachment under the command of
brig. gen. lizard, consisting of about $50
men in advance of Gen. Hampton's army,
attacked the advance of the enemy's forces,
consisting of British and Indians, who were
covered by thick wood where they had
constructed an abbatis. a smart fire was
kept up on both sides for some time, when
that of the British was silenced by our
troops, who made a charge. and the enemy
fed in all directions, leaving the abbatis in
possession of the Americans, Deserters
who have come in, say that the force of the
British engaged was considerably superior
to that of The Americans After the dis
persion Of the enemy, some of their skulk
ing Indians, from behind trees, annoyed
our troops, but were eventually driven from
their coverts. Our loss in killed, was be-

FROM THE NORTHERN ARMY.

A letter to the editors of the Boston
Chronicle, dated Plattsburgh, November
5, says" For ten days past we have been
in continual state of alarm here. On the
Sd inst from 500 TO 1000 British came o
yer the line by land into Champlain, and 4
row gallies' came eight miles this side the
line, and landed at ChaGy. They staid an
hour or two and then returned. The male
population Of Clinton county was called
out in masse, to oppose them and commo-
dore Marlborough was completely prepared
to dispute the empire ofthe lake with them:
but, 10 they retreated back to the Isle
aux Ncix. General Hampton is now at
Chateauguay or Four Corners
" p, S. AS soon as the express arrived
at Chateauguay to inform gen: Hampton
that the enemy was coming to Plattsburgh,
he despatched his horse, light artillery and
two regiments of infantry.-Part have ar
rived: the others are on their march-but
the enemy has fed. He could not have
preeipitated to this place even if general
Hampton had not sent any aid. | am in

at Prescott on the night of the 9th inst
and without other loss than 2 priyates XII

" He was at Hambleton on theS th, where
the cavalry, &c. was crossed. No moles~
tation had been given by the Canadians
They retired from the water side, scarcely
ony venturing to look at our passing ar
mament.- They do not, as on the Chateau
ga, lay waste the country in our front.

praise in the army. 1t is deep, exact, and
comprehensive. Without some act OF God
we shall execute it worthily."
Mr.. Wigton arrived in town this morn
ing in 36 hours from the Northern Army, ..
distance Of $50 miles. We learn from him,
in addition to what is contained in the above
extract, that Gen. Hampton's division OF
the army had marched to Chazy, where
they were Joined by all the effective men
from Burlington, plat,sburg, sc. and enter
ed Canada OH Friday, from Chanpiain,
with intention to penetrate the woods OF
Lecade, to open road through which eve
ry necessary means were provided The
route was probably selected for two reasons:
first, because the enemy were less prepared
to oppose him at that point and second,
on account of the country on the Chateau
quay having been laid waste by the enemy
and every Kind Of forage destroyed The
men were in high spirits, and elated with
the prospect of closing the campaign with
brilliant achievements
With respect to the action on the @4tn,
on the Cha,eauguay, about which 80 many
exaggerated statements have been pnblsh.
ed. we can assure our readers from good
authority, that the enemy were driven IN
every attack that our army lost neither
baggage nor cannon, and that but one OIL
Ger Major Bates was wounded, and none
killed Gen Hampton informed Mr.. wig
ton, that his total loss, in killed. wounded
and missing. was hut thirty-three. The
British account admits loss on their part
of 81, but makes no estimate OF the loss oh
our side. But which is sufficient to destroy
all confidence in the enemy's story IS, thar
it represents three hnndrea Canadian Iniii-
