mand Of Iigi,r artillery. Supported

Immediately after ihe light troops.
and generals Winder and Chandler
followed in qnick succession. The
landing was warmly and, obstinately
disputed by the British forces: but
the GOODNESS and inirepidiliy Of our
troops soon compel ed them TO give
ground in every direction. General
Chandler. with the reserve. {com-
posed of his brigade and col. Ma
coml,'s artillery covered the Whole.
Commodre Chauncey, had made the
nost indicious arrangements for siien-
ciog the enemy's batteries. near the
reint of landing. The army is under
the greatest obligations to that able
naval commander for his co-opera-
ton in all It's important movements,
and especially in its operations this
,,ay. Oar batteries succeeded in
rendering Fort George untenable !;
and when the enemy had been beaten
from his positions. and found it me-
cessary to re-erier il after firing a
few guns and setting fire TO the ma
gaziiies, which soon exploded, he
moved of RAPIDLY by different routes.
0ur light troops pursued them seve-
raj miles. The troops having been
unt!ar arms from one o'clock in the
rtorairg, we're too much exhausted
for any further pursuit. We are
now in possession OF Fort George
and its Immediate dependeneies-to-
morrow we shall proceed further on.
The behavior of our troops, both
officers and men, entities them 70
the highest praise s. the difference
in our less with that Of the enemy,
when we consider the advantages his
positions afforded him, is astonishing.
We have II killed and is wounded.
The enemy had 90 Killed and 100
wounded Of the regular troops. We
have taken 100 prisoners, exclusive
Of the wounded. Col. Movers of the
A9th was wounded and taken prison
