The Governor in chief and comm an der

rounce to the troops, that the corps of OBJ
servstion, with the division of gunboats
which he had ordered from Kingston to
follow the movements ofthe enemy's army,
under Major Gen. Wilkinson, to be plac-
ed under the corn mand Of Lieut.. Col. Nor
rison, of the seth regt has completely
defeated large division of the American
army, consisting Of cavalry, rifemen and
infantry, exceeding four thousand men,
which attacked it on the llth inst near
Chryslee's, about 90 miles above Cornwall,
taking from the enemy field piece (six
pounder) and 400 prisoners. AS his ex-
cellency is not yet in possession of the par
tculars of this brilliant achievement, he
cannot specify the loss sustained by either;
that of the enemy, as represented by an
eve witness to the action, has been very
considerable. 1t has been further report
ed, to his excelleney, that Lieut. Col Nor
rison, of the S9th regiment and capt Null
caster. of the royal navy, with a divi-
sion of gunboats, has effected landing at
Hamilton, where they were put in posses
sion of that place, and all the public stores

The disasters of our drmies an the

been under the necessity of detailing the
accounts of our disasters in the North As
poor an opinion as we have of the capacity
of our commanders and those who direct
their operations, we did not believe they
could have proceeded with so little judg-
ment and foresight We have before US,
circular which was written by the great Fa-
Their of his country to his officers, dated the
18th of April 1852, in which, after stating
the circumstances of the country, as they
then ez sted, he concludes as follows:
" The Commander in Chief concludes
the above state of matters with the follow.
ing observation that offensive operations.
of whatever kind they may be being gene

dertaken with the consideration of all cir

cessful plans; while the enemy acquire
spirits by, and triumph at our misfortune"

That trembles on Louisa's lovely cheek,
Those souldrawn signs, that do all utterance stop,
Yet Of real anguish more than volumes speak.
Tears that affection 10 remembrance pays,
Must still the hour of solitude attend
The gloomy dirge, nay, cen the song Of praise,
Bear with them ideas Of a bleeding friend
Where turbid LAwRxSeE rolls his rugged wave,
In hossle cline the gallant youth is laid,
Spontaneous aow'rs shall rise to deck his grave,
And FAAs and Honor guard his sacred shade
Spirits of those who for fair Freedom fought,
In shadowy-march shall there delight to tread
To Him recite how dear their lives were bought.
And high enrol him with the illustrious dead.
Methinks even now his plying voice hear,
Glide the fond breast, with swelling griefinflate,
Mildly rebuke the full tumultnous tear,
And ask" why envy HUNTER brave Montgo.
