%Capt, Broke and capt Lawrence, were
both 'delirious from their wounds and the
ships were both brought in by very young
officers. Capt. Broke was considered as
very dangerously wounded, having his head
cut from the top to near his mouth by the
ear. when capt. Lawrence could speak,
he would say, Don't give up the ship. %
He was first wounded in the leg, which
b!ed much, and weakened him but he
would moi be carried below when he re-
eelved grape shot in the lower part of his
belly; OF which he died. Capt. Broke
was stated to have received his wound in
STOPPING down, trying to save The lie CT
one OF the Chesapeake's crew, which one
OF his own men vas mapgling, and whose
head he cut off.
"Ihe officers were all admitted to their
parole but it was not known when they
would be exchanged, as the crew of the
Chesapeake made the prisoners 700, and il
was said the States then owed them 1900.

AS a commander, capt. ]. Lawrence was
a strict disciplinarian; but his discipline
was of that imposing character which,
while it commanded obedience, extorted
Affections and respect. He was of course
generally beloved by his officers and crew.
In his disposition there was a peculiar
placidity, which added grace TO his stcrner
virtues. His courage partook not Of the
impc,uosity OF the raging cataract, but ra-
Their resembled the strong and steady How.

was endeared to all who knew him. Long,
long will memory trace his virtues and

sanity, was repealed by our batteries under
the command Of capt 3. w. Pryor, in
manner worthy of veteran troops. Upon
the attack from the land side, proceeded
with the infantry companies to the road, in
order most effcctually to counterfeit the de-
signs OF the enemy in that quarter, but had
not gained the desired point of destination
before the muskets of the foe assaied our
troops from skirt of woods, near where
the rehemen, under capt. r. Servant had
zen placed, and who for some considera.
BILE time, with much GOODNESS, and 10 doubt
excellent effect, kept them in check
From our line of march in column through
field where we were attacked, imme-
diately formed line and advancedby quick
time, towards the woods, where the inva.
ders had formed. We had not proceeded
far In this line before the enemy opened
heavy and. continual FIRE Of grape snd other
shot upon US. The view Of the enemy's
troops which now took, rende it ne ces-
sary on our part to form again in column,
and endeavor to gain the wood, now with.
in one or two hundred yards. In endea-
voring to obtain such position, our troops
were necessarily, for short time exposed
TO the fire OF the enemy" Major Crutch-
field then mentions in very high terms, the
conduct of capt. Shields and his company
and concludes by observing, that the enc
my, pursuing the rest Of our troops with
rapidity and success, retreat took place.
This despatch was written at the Half
Way-House from whence our army pro-
ceeded to York. Maj. Corbin was wound
ed in the arm and leg, at the head of his
column. Capt. Pryor, for whose safety
major Crutchfeld expressed great appre-
tension, alter handling the enemy most
severely, at the batteries, spiked their own
cannon, swan, across the creek, and retreat
ing in the rear of the enemy, arrived in our
camp with most Of his brave men.
