!" On the 18th of October junction of the
two armies was formed just opposite our pre-
sent encampment, and on the morning of
the 18th took up the line of march for Chin
peway. This was done without any visible
good to result from the movement However
on our reaching Chippeway we opened a
smart cannonade against the the enemy's bat
teiIes. He wisely kept concealed, and after
attempting tor eight or ten days to induce him
to give us battle, returned to our former no
ston (; where we remained several DAYS.
without Knowing what were the plans Of Ger.
lizard at one moment we were TO encamn
at Fort Erie, the next here, and the third
considerable doubt would arise : then sus-
pence ensued for about two days; after which
we would throw forward one column and
draw back the second Thus were we annoy
ed until about the 9th when a Block House
was commenced. This was abandoned in
two days, one Brigade advanced over here,
and the second to Fort Erie. This we thought
augured very we'll, as two differences were de-
duced, first, that we should immediately com
mence huttng, and secondly that Fort Erie
was to be retained The first we have
not yet begun, and in the second we are most
grossly disappointed. About one hour before
day we were awaked by, as we thought a
peiCe OF artillery, Out 70 our great morGfIcati-
on found it 70 be fort Erie blown up by order
of the commanding general, and to day eyacu-
ated. What viii be the fruits Of his after
meditations no one here will hazard an opini-
on, nor do they much care for after the loss
OF nearly three thousand men, we are now
where we started last June, and should this
act be committed at the individual responsible
lily of the commanding general, his sun is set,
never, never 70 rise, and the sooner he shares
the fate vfgen. w. the better for the country.
In all probability there never vas any gene

cause.

heard AN officer say should Ike to have a
furlough ;" and now, there is not one who
would not willingly ACCEPT one On almost any
terms, IN order to be removed from this stati-
on. All enterprise and energy appear C.
have lulled % sleep, and contempt and dismay
succeeded. Our only chance to intercept the
communications with The Upper par Of this

WIcst Pass, 25th Setit 1914.
Sr--l am happy to inform you that the
expedition against the band Of pirates and
sInugglerS who have hitherto infested the wes-
tern waters Of this state, & established them
selves at barrataria, on the islands of Grand
Isle, and Grand err, has terminated in the
capture and destruction of ali their Vessels,
and the dispersion of the band themselves.
On the 10th inst. at s O'Clock, A. N.
formed the line Of battle and stood for the
harbor of Grand Terre, entered it about ten,
and ere sun set Of the same DAY hid entire
possession OF their vessels, and colonel Ross
With detachment Of his regiment, of their
establishment on ths Island Of Grand Terri
renamed al that place till the 23d and
arrived at this anchorage on the morring of
the 24th, bringing with me seven sail, lately
the croizers Of the pirates LATTE and others /:
and one armed schooner under Carihaeenian
colors, found III Company with the former, and
ready To oppose my entrance. / have also
ordered IN for adjudication two other armed
schooners under the same flag and for the
same cause.
As we approached the island Of Grand
lerre, perceived them forming their vessels
l'iio a line OF battle. near the entrance OF the
harbor, and making every preparation in their
power to offer us battle, but which they very
prudently declined, and fed, (after firing two
of their best vessels, one of which was sa-
ved) short time before we came within gun
shot tom our long guns, notwithstanding q .
grounding Of TIVE ofmy heaviest gun vessels,
by which my force was reduced to four gun
vessels, one tender and launch, with the
armed bats from the grounded vessels, the
schoond Carolina not being able from her
draught Of water to approach nearer than 2
miles Of the bar.
From the number Of The enemy's vessels &
their advantageous position, | had aDticipa-
ted sharp short contest, which must have
terminated most fatally to them.
In. consequence of my two vessels ground
ing as before stated, and they had as many
CONS as could have brought into action, K
which were divided among lovessels, and
from the best Information which have been
able to obt.iin from persons found on Grand
Ierre, the number ofpir..tes & persons con-
necte1 With them, could not have been less

success OF the expedition against the pirate
LATTE II gives me real pleasure to assure
you that during our service, the most hearty
cooperation and good understanding have
existed between the naval and land forces. SO
much so that success will always attend their
JOINT operations, if the disposition have wit
messed be Continued, of which from the char
acsers composing both branches ON this sta
ton, there can be no doubt.
We were fortunate in our arrival. as from
documents IN our possession, It will be dis
covered that Laftte had requested of cap
tam Lockyer, of the Sophia, British gun brig,
but fifteen days to pursue the course re-
quested OF him, viz. to accept the protection of
ms Britannia majesty, join the British with his

The dispersion of his men, burning of his
land establishments, tile seizure of some of his
principles and the capture of his whole Acct,
make him now OF no consequence-beneft the
public service, and certainly reflect honor on
the American character, that by the appear
