Eriraet Of a letter from al officer in the
Connecticut STATE Corhs, dated Killing
north, December Ii, to his friend in Bos-
Ton
"Our engagements with the enemy have
become so frequent, that it would be in vain
TO attempt particular statement of each.
That Killingworth is to be the seat of war
in the Sound can no longer be doubted.
Yesterday, slonp bound from New
York to Mystic River, having a valuable
cargo on DOaTO, cStlHatS(t at oUUU dollars,
was chased on the reef near the East point
Of the harbor. by the British lugger Intre-
pid but before the boats Of the enemy had
succeeded in getting possession of the yes
ael, we gave them a fiain statement of
facts, which convinced them they had the
wrong side of the Atlantic. They left the
vessel for the original owners to repossess at
their pleasure. The vessel and cargo re-
ceived no damage.
"The situation of that place is truly lrii
fortunate. Unless assistance is furnished
from some quarter, all business (save that
of fghting) must soon stop. Our citizens
are seldom, seen without gun, and our ar
til,ery are hardly cold from one day to an
other. Our harbor is full Of vessels--one
loaded with government stores.
1t has been ascertained, that in the at
tack on this place Nov. Gath and 25th, the
enemy had I killed and 8 or wounded on
board the brig borer, by pound shot
from our artillery"
