Dear Sir,
have the honor to acknowledge the re.
ceipt of your official letters Of toe 18th and
10th. with their enclosures, and private
one of the 18th inst.
do most deeply regret the sequel of the
gallant enterprise which put into your pos
session two of the enemy's schooners. You
appear to have been induced to precipitate
the attack of Fort Erie BY desire to reap
full benefit of the spirit of emulation produ.
ced ~ that daring achievement II the OBJ
Ject had been accomplished, scrutiny of the
operations TO attain it would have been e..
qually excited, and 1t 10 not in reproach of
its failure, that I observe to you, that night
attacks made with heavy troops, are In nv
opinion very objectionable. principally be.
cause chance and not skill too frequently
decide the contest, and that at night diff
cultics and dangers are ever magniHed, par.
tcn'ariy when they present themselves un
expected. and in the latter case the best
disciplined corps are placed cny on a level
with raw and uniformed soldiers.
1t is to be Inferred from Lieutenant Col.
Fishers report and your statement. that
the right column was not sufficiently pres
pared for the obstacles II had to surmoupt
in attaining the point of attack, otherwise
neither hesitation nor CONSERVATION would
have resulted when they presented them-
selves.
acknowledge that feel apprehensive
you have rather yielded TO than approved the
esgertess of the right division to increase ia
