Night before last party of the British
came over to Swanton, VT. and surprised
and took 10 men and Is horses of the IT, S
| dragons; three men escaped but were
wounded. These dragons were on the
lines to prevent smuggling provisions into
Canada. Notice was given to the enemy,
by the smugglers. of the dragons being
near the lines and where they were, which
enabled the British to surprise and TAX
them. Night before last cornet Braken,
to retaliate, went over the lines with a
party of u. S. dragons, to Odletown, were
an enemy militia picket guard was station

three; none of the dragons were either
killed or wou nded, but one of their horses
was wounded, and two were not we'll tied,
or held, and took fright IN the fray and
ran away. Smuggling goes on at great
rate from Vermont and the enemy favors
it, as much as possible, by keeping the
country clear of our troops. So much is
struggled in, that it is said provisions are
as cheap in Montreal as they are in Yer
mont
