Since the American army arrived at
Queenston, there we're several teams IN the

A few tea ms were captured, and some OF
the drivers and men attached to the wagons
wounded and several other instances OF
this kind of petty s&irmishing took place
in The vicinity of thai place. In order to
put a stop to these proceedings a party OF
General Porter s volunteers, commanded
BY Col. Stone, marched for 81. David's; a
skirmish began in which several OF the in.
habitants, and a few of the volunteers were
killed a part of the village wosthen burnt.
The act we learn was perfectly unanthors

TIE report published in our last, OF our
