THE NOTE ENcLosEp.

The very mement information was receiy
ed by Col. Green and myself of the enemy's
intention to come down, the regiments we're
paraded, mine being in front, and common
ced their march. Fearing that unless the
ground was previously marked out, there
would be some difficulty in forming them in
the midstof SO heavy fire. rode forward
myself went to the ground on the right OF
the battery which was 60 have been nv sta
tion, found it occupied by some rifienen, &c.
then we ut to the left, ordered Captain Ian
ways company to take their position, and
waited nayself for the regiment to come up.
After some time the FIRE bvcoming excessive
iy heavy, found that the sailors and ma
! rnes were retreating from the fort. and sse
ing Commodore Porter among the last. :
ran to him and asked if he had ordered IL.
He replied that he found it inn 'ossible to
maintain the fort longer against SO dispfo
portioned force.
could myself proceed very little farther.
and found it not only more dangerous to re-
treat than remain, but quite impossible to
reJoin the troops who had. as understand,
continued to advance to within three hun.
dred yards of the battery. until Gen. Hun.
gerford ordered retreat.
Ine 18th reg. was second time ortIere,,
to advance obliquely to the right to cover
the battery, and did so advance until thew
came within view of the shipping, and were

In yourpaPer of the first ms. you give an
account OF the mission to theBritish SQUADRON
from tins place. Being one of the fiag that
was sent the commander of the squadron.
Know the statement as made in your paper
to be essentially incorrect. The Aiexan
drians made no offer to surrender before the
squadron faSsed HE FORT. There was no
attempt at communication with the fleet
until after the fort had been abandoned bv
the troops of the United States and the ma.
gazine was blown up. This was done on
saturday evening. On Sunday morning
about ten o'clock the Whole of the fleet W ere
