The letter winch follows, is from the
post master at Plattsburg, and was for
warded to the Editors Of the Newly DIRK
Gazette, by Mr. Topiif, the vigilant keep
CIR Of the Boston exchange coffee house.
PLATrsBURG Oct. 81
I" Gen. Hampton's army having pene
trated about IS miles into Canada. carried
AN entrenchment at the point of the bayonet,
fought almos. a general battle with the In
dams and British had IS killed and 33
wounded-l6 or 90 missing; drove the
enemy entirely from the scene of action /;
then tackled about and marched back 10 tbt
Chateaugay, where it is supposed he will
march to this place. 1t it said the wnoic
object Of the campaign is completely ac-
comprehensive George and his army, hav-
ing been kept down 10 Montreal, whilst
Wilkinson has been Gndjsturbed Ii his opc-
ratious against Kingston
BURLINGTON, (Vt.) Voo. S.
The northern army has returned to the
four corners, Chataugee. They have had
skirmish with the enemy al the River
St, Lawrence--many reports are in circu.
!a.ion respecting this engagement but the
particulars are not known.
The account given In our last, respect
ing gen. WiikiDson's being at Ogdeos-
burg, altho' it was received from a source
which warranted our statement, it now
proves to be incorrect. The general opi
Mon is that general Wilkinson has gone a.
gainst Kingston and that the late move
ment of gen. Hampton was to attract the
! attention of the enemy in this quarter TO
enable gen. w. to accomplish the obiecl Of
his expedition.
BY the steamboat of Wednesday even
ing from Plattsburg, we learn that on We'd
nesday morning the British fleet made
their appearance in our waters on the lake.
Their force is represented to be four sloops
and eight row gallies with an additional
number of scamen, eight hundred from
Quebec and that land force has landed at
Little Chazy. Gen. Moore Of the Y. York
