Before had time to fold up the letter l
wrote to you to-day, the alarm gun was
sounded, and forthwith repaired to the
tented field. The enemy, without being
discovered, made the river at general
Villaray's plantation to day about 10 or
o'clock. They have not, it is supposed,
all yet debarked. The entry was made up
a bayou, into which canal from Villarays
plantation empties. Gen jackson with
Gen. Cofiees men, the 9Th regiment, q
part of the 4ith, some Of the town militia
and some other troops, arrived about 2
o'clock, supported by the sch. Caroline
We commenced the engagement about
half past seven, which continued pretty hot
until about a quarter after nine when the
firing ceased on the part of the British
hrst. I cannot tell the number OF killed or
wounded on either side yet. Towards the
close of the engagement, our company Of
riflemen was broken by charge from the
enemy, and has suffered good deal
Capt. Bealle commanded the right and
myself the left Of the company had
then with me only fifteen men three Of
whom were wounded; and 1 had also
eleven prisoners, part Of the army that
was at Washington. In this situation, I
thought it best to order my men to march
towards the swamp, and accordingly march
ed about half way to town back of the
plantations. have safely delivered the
prisoners, and am now at home very much
fatigued shall set out again before day
with my men to the field Of battle Our
army is well formed, and will not be sur
prised. Tomorrow morning the battle
will be renewed The two armies nearly
keep their grouhd--l believe we have this
advantage so far, but | can give you moth
ing particular. Our army has been rein
forced to night by 1000 of Gen, Carroll's
men, and ! expect hard fighting to-mor-
row.
Tho prisoners that our company has
made, state their numbers to be about
10000 men, and about 5000 debarked,
with whom we fought--that they are COM
manded by Gen Keene-that there are
two regiments of blacks, 1000 men each.

The enemy effected their landing upon
major general yillaray's plantation by way of
the bayou back of it, issuing into lake
Beurgne. Some of the prisoners state they
belonged TO the 9Sth regiment and were
from Portsmouth-they report their force
yariously, from z to $1,000 men. This is
doubtless exaggeration, probably Its a.
mount n OF more than 5000.
The last report from the army is, that
the British had disappeared from the bat
tie ground, and were making, as was con-
isctared, for Terre aux Beuf, in which

lwrotc you by the last mail, informing
you of the arrival of British force on this
coast, and the destruction and capture of
our fiotilla of gun.boats by them Since
that period we have no accounts from them,
but it is reported they have gone towards
Mobile Point, and should they succeed, to
try and possess themselves of the Town.
We do not yet know what expedition this
is, but generally supposed to be Cockburn,
united with forces from Jamaica and the
Windward Islands, consisting of black
troops.
On the 10th, martial law was proclaim.
ed in this city, and the militia called out en-
masse-appropriations made by the legis-
lature Of sum of fifty thousand dollars for
the erection of batteries and granting boun-

passing events.
Yesterday generals Coffee and Carroll
arrived with 1000 Tennesseeans, and gen.
Adair will be here tomorrow with $500
Kentuckians--We know that thsy have
passed Natchcz. Our force will then be, in
the City and within call, from nine to ten
thousand men, and we may consider our
selves safe, at all events from any coup de
mdin that may be attempted by the enemy.
All this you may consider has produced
a good deal of alarm, and some little con-
fusion; but custom is great thing, and by
degrees it will become familiar. But /
hope they will not continue long here, for
they cannot expect to be successful, unless
they have very strong force !; and every
inch ofground will be contested.
