ORIGINAL ANEcDorE.

ORIGINAL ANEcDoTE.
1t will be recollected, that some
time after the ever memorable ac-
zion OF the 9th. of January last, it
was stated IN letters from NeW-Or-
leans, that Major General LAM
BERT, who succeeded to the CON-
mand OF the British forces after the
deaths Of Generals PacKENHAM
and GIBBS, had become Temporal
rily deranged, and relinquisheb the
the command to a Colonel. As
this singular circumstance has ex-
cited much interest, and as we al.
ways feel disposition to crafty
the public curiosity when the
means are within our reach, we
have taken the trouble of TRANSCRIPT.
ing the following anecdote,
explaining the CAUSES of the Gen.
erals madness, 1.-THE outlines of
which have been furnished by a
distant correspondent for the a.
musement of our readers.
After the signal defeat of the
British army, General LAMBERT
imagined that his camp was entire
ly surrounded ley the Americans
and anticipating nothing bnt dis.
grace and defeat should he attempt
to fight his way through, he had re-
course to the following stratagem,
inorder to effect his escape. He re-
quested General JACKSON to al
low him four days to bury his dead,
intending to make use of that time
to make good his retreat under
cover OF the night. Having accor-
dinghy got ever, thing in readiness
for precipitate flight, the British
commander, on the evening preyi-
GUS to the expiration of the truce
put his troops III motion, and com
menced his march, protected by
the total darkness which then
reigned as silently as possible. He
had not proceeded far, however,
before his progress was arrested,
as he thought, by the approach of
d numerous army, determined to
destroy him and his unfortunate
followers. Strange and nuaccount-
able sounds, seemingly proceeding
from millions Of clamorouS tongues
were heard all round him; some
apparently crying out, " You'll b,
