BATTLE OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN.
Naval Court War1iak.--The C0urt Mar
tial held at Portsmouth, on board the Gla-
diator, on Capt PRIMO (next Senior OIL
Ger after the death of Capt DowNIE,) and
the other Officers under his command, for
the loss Of the British squadron on Lake
Champlain, closed its proceedings on Mon
ri Iar fill SC {
the Court:
" The Court having maturely weighed
the evidence, is OF opinion, that the capture
of his Majesty's ship Confance, and the
remainder the squadron by the American
squadron, was principally caused by the
British squadron having been urged into
battle previous to its being in proper
state to meet the enemy, by the promised
corporations of the land forces not being
carried into effect, and 10y the pressing let
ters os their Commander-in- Chief, where
by it appears that he had, on the 10th of
September, 1914, only waited for the IA val
attack, to storm the cncmy's works; and
the signal Of the approach on the following
day having been made by the scaling of
the guns, as settled between Capt. Downie
and Major Coore, and which promised CO.
operation was communicated to the other
officers and crewssof the British squadron
b fore the commencement of the action.
The Court, however, is of opinion, that
the atteck would have been attended with
more effect, If a part Of the gun-boats had
nor withdr avn themselves from the action,
and others If the vessels had not been pre-
vented by battling winds, from getting in
30 the stations assigned to thcm--that Capt
friDg. of the Linnet, and Lieut. Robertson,
who succeeded TO the command of the
Coniiancc, after the lamented fate of Can't.
Downie, whose conduct was marked by
the greatest valor, and Lieut.. Christopher
Bell, ccramand ing the Murray, and Mr..
Robertson, comm ,nding the B9resford gun-
boats. who appeared TO take their trials at
tAis Cout Mariill, conducted themselves
with great zeal, bravery and ability, during
the actior--th.t Lieut. VIM. Hicks, COM
handing the Finch, also conducted himself
in the act on with great bravery--that the
other surviving officers and ships crews,
? excepting Lieut.. M'Ghic, Of the Club, who
has not appeared here to take his :, ial, al
sDcorduceA themselves with bravery and
that Capt. Pring, Lieut.. Robertson, Lieut..
