Immediately prepared to meet them.
When within musket fhot, gener-

which lated fome time, when the
Britifh reueated in good order, and
were pur[ued by our troops, who
continued the purfuit till they came
to low fp0t of ground, when the
BritIih opened tremendous fire Of
grape and cannilter ihot from feyen

woods by the idc of the road, and
the Britilh gunboatS at the fame

which was effected with regularity /;
the enemy, either from their own

recroned the river. and were encam-
