whole Of our force crossed from Hamil-
ton to the Canada shore, and were pro-
ceedmS down the river, and British
force III their rear following. This
was on Tuesday. On Wednesday they
continued their march, and were all

lasted some time, when the British re-
treated IN good order, aud were pursu-
ed by our troops, who continued the
pursuit till they came TO low spot of
ground, when the British opened ire
mendous FIRE OF grape and canister
shot, from pieces OF artillery placed In
the woods by The side Of the road.
The British sun-hoats at the same
time opened ID Ere in the sans manner
from the opposite side next the river
our men fell in ali directions-a retreat
was immediately ordered, which
was effected with regularity, and the
enemy either from their own loss or
some other reason declined pursuing.
Our troops Immediately recrossed the
river, and were encamped when nv in
formant left them. they had heard
thar the British had force of about
5000 not far off, on or near lake ST.
Frances. The loss on our part in xii
led and wounded exceeds 400, the fire
from he British being extremely des.
'ructi,e: the enemy's loss not known.
The accounts given of the number &
situation OF our troops is very discour-
aging. The whole Of Wilkinson's ar
my did not exceed 5000 previous to
the battle, and they are in want of eve

The Campaign, on the ST. Law
renee, from which so much has been
long confidently and reasonably expect
ed. has ended far short of lis object
We understand, and indeed we know,
that the main army has taken post
near St. Regis for the winter-and
that the division under General!
Hampton is huttiEs on the Saranao.-
This abrupt End unexpected terminal
ton is openly aseribed to difference
of opinion said to exist between the
Generals, Wilkinson and Hampton, In
relation TO their place of junction. The
former directed Hampton to unite with
him at ST. ReSis-the latter thought a
point lower down would be better, and
look measures according. So soon as
this was known to Wilkinson, the
army was ordered to hut at Salmon
River for The winter. We will say no-
thing of the conduct of either Of ii,ose
Generals. There are authorities 10
which they are amenable and which
will, no doubt, do justice in The case.
Our regrets, however, are MOI the less.

On that day, itappears, the rear Of our

troops from Kingston and Prescott.
The action was severe and obstinate,
and was eventually decided IN eur IA

the loss of one of ctr Generals aud so

established. Already have the strong
Sarrisous of Kingston and Prescott fall
Zen upon the rear Of our Army and
reinforced every hour by the Canadian
Militia, they will perpetually harrass
our troops through the whole extent
OF their march. Should our army e.

Montreal, they will find themselves in
vaded OF both sides by desperate and
powerful enemy; and an unqualified
surrender or inevitable destruction will
we still apprehend, be the unhappy re-
suit.
Ii is in vain for Wilkinson 60 expect
AID from Hampton and his army. The
situation of the former, i'm hostile

LATE AND IMPORTANT.
BY Major Smelling who arrived in
town last night direct from the army,
we have been politely ia, oured with
the following interesting particulars:
Col. Atkinson informed Mai. Smell
ing, that an action OF Il partial nature
took place on the nth Nov. i'm which
about 1900 Americans, of the e,h.
11th and 2ist regulars, under Gen.
Boyd. were engaged. They thra
times routed the enemy with the bavo-
net. Col. Atkinson left Wilkinson o.
the 18th. fbe enemy retired to a
strong position about iIiree quarters Of
an IN The rear, FROM which the A
mericans did not attempt to dislodye
them, but returned 10 the battle ground
where they slept that night.
One other pieces of artillery being
discounted by a cannon shot. when
they resumed the line Of march, they
were compelled to leave II, and the
British taking possession of it, frem
that circumstance claimed the victory
A number of prisoners were taken
by the Americans. General Covinetsn
was mortally wounded. Lit. Smith Of
the Artillery was killed.
Gen. Wilkinson has been confined
TO his tent by sickness for some time
past. The roads were bad in the ex-
treme.
The Northern Army, under General
Hampton has gene into winter quarters
Of PiattsbnrS. The cavalry at Bur
