FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE.

PLATTsBURG, Jan. 10.
Night before last party of the British
came over to Swanton VT. and surprised
and took 10 men and IS horses of the u !.
States dragons /; three men escaped but
were wounded. These dragons were on
Che lines, to prevent snuggling provisions
into Canada. Notice was given to the enc
my, by the smugglers, of the dragons being
nesr the lines and where they were, which
enabled the British to surprise and take
them. Night before last Cornet Braken,
to retaliate, went over the lines with party
ot u ,. dragons, to Odletown, where an
enemy militia picket guard was stationed ;
surprised and took men and killed 8 /;
none OF the dragons were either killed or
wounded. but one of their horses was woun~
ded and two we're not well tied, or held, and
took frightin the frsv and run away
Smuggling goes al a great rate from
Vermont. and the enemy favors it, as much
as possible, by keeping the country clear of
our troops. SO muchis smuggled in, that
it's said provisions are as cheap in Montreal
as they are in Vermont
From Burlington. ". we have a letter of
the 18th, which confirms the account of
Ehe, defeat of our patrol (of 10 volunteersl
by the British on the 18th. Our party was
composed Of smmissioned officers :;
mounted and armed with swords and pis-
tols; and were undoubtedly betrayed by
some OF our Own countrymen who ought to
be put out Of the way of repeating their
friendly Offices, by just such means as their
conduct merits.
