burgh. The military force at Montreal
is not known with any certainly, but Is
presumed to be pretty considerable.
Between Moutreal and Champaign, in
". York, a distance of Al miles, are
three British garrisons, on the Sorel n.
YER, viz. Isle Aux Noix, ST. JONAS and
Chamblee. The force in these g~arTisons
is said to amount to about $500 men,
In addition to the forces stationed in
these garrisons, it is calculated that there
are stationed in the Peninsula for med by
the ST. Lawrence and Sorei rivers, a.
bout $500 British regulars and 300
provincial uoops-makiug, with those
Of the garrisons, a disposable force OF
10000 men, which can be concentrated
in two or three days. For this state
ment of the forces we are indebted to
the Philadelphia Aurora.
The Sorel river flows out of Lake
Champlaiu, in the state OF New York,
and emp:ies into the St. Lawrence at
the head of Lake Peter, between Mont
real and Quebec.
CHAapLAIs-a village IN the state OF
N. York, on the Canada line, on the
west side Of Lake Champlain; It is Al
miles south of Montreal.
PLArTssUaCH, the late head-quar.
ters of the Northern Army, is 25 miles
south of the village of C%hamPlaln, and
So south of Montreal.
From Montreal t Quebec is 40
miles. The ST. Lawrence is 90 miles
wide at its mouth, where it empties into
the sea, and navigable for large vessels
up to @ ,ebec, a distance OF 400 miles.
Near Quebec it is 5 miles In breadth,
and at Montreal from 2 to 4. Above
Montreal there are rapids which render
toe navigation dangerous, but In boats
1t may be navigated to near Kingston,
ON Lake Ontario, at the head of the St.
Lawrence, a distance Of 743 miles from
the sea. But the navigation is inter-
rupsed for several months in the year by
the ice.

EVENTS OF THE WAR.
TO THE PUBLIC.

In the Gazette of last week, / promis.
ed TO give an account of some of the most
- prominen, transactions of the 28th of
November and 1ss December" Having
slace that time, received from General
Snyth, assurances, which, as a man of
honor, l am bound to believe, that the
course pursued by him on these days,
was such as was required by his orders
and instructions from the Secretary of
War aud Gen, Dearborn, this commune
cation will assume a character quite DIFF.
terent from the one then contemplated.
l am pledged, however, TO the public to
give facts, which I shall proceed to do
without comment: leaving it to time to
develope the objects of military move-
meuts which have appeared to me and o.
theirs not only extraordinary but inexpli.
cable.
On the 27th of November there was
collected at this point a military force Of
about $500 effective men /; consisting of
regular troops, New. York, Pennsylva.
MIA and Baltimore Volunteers, all under
the command of Gen. Smyth.
There we're lying at the Navy Yard
near Black Rock ; which had been pre-
viously prepared for the purpose of trans.
porting the troops across the river. 20
public boats calculated 10
carry 40 men each, $500

dividuals but which had
been taken into the public
service, caculatedto carry

AT 2 O'Clock on that day I received a
copy OF Gen. Smyth's order fer the march
OF all the troops, the succeeding morning
atIeseillie, 20 the Navy Yard to embark
for Canada. Immediately gave orders
for the New.York Volunteers who had
been placed under my command, to pa
rsdc at 1 o'clock in the morning at their
encampnent about one and an half miles
from the Navy Yard 10 the evening /
learnt that the parties mentioned in Ge-
neral Smyth's dispatch were TO cross the
river at II O'clock at night to attack the
enemies batteries opposite Black Rock.
Gsn. Smyta not being here, | waited on
Lieut.. Angus and suggested to him the
propriety (lf within the scope of his or.
ders) OF ~postponing the enterprize until
nearly morning, to give as little time as
possible, before tue passage Of the army,
for the enemy's troops to collecs
their station down the river. Thx
