DIRECT FROM 81. CHNkbEo'
A very intelligent gentleman who l"I
Swanton this morning, brings us news 81
rect from ST. Charles to 10 o'clock A. NJ
and from. S.. Mary's, il miles from ST
Charles. 10 s o'clock p. M. on Saturday
Up to the hour he left St. Charles no at
tack had been made on 'ha, post, nor wa
sny cannonadiDg heard OF ST. Mary's n,
o'clock. Tho patriot force on Saturday
was known TO be 1000 at ST. Charles and
1900 at ST Denis, with hourly acquisitions
Of men and munitions. The government
force, supposed to 700 hundred strong, then
LAY between ST. Charles and ST. Denis.
This is undoubtedly the first detachment
that left Montreal. In regard to the scc-
ond detachment, our informant says re-
port was current that they landed at Lor.
Cucui with the intention of reaching
ST. Charles by lands but that they were
assailed by the inhabitants from the bush
and road side. and finally driven back to
Longueul. This however he gives MS re-
port only. But, certain it is that this de.
tachmcnt had not been heard of in the vi
entity Of 81. Charles. r. S. BRowN cons
mands the patriot forces in person, and is
said to be in high spirits.
Our informant also gives us The official
patriot report of the St. Dennis engage
ment, which varies from our former repor,
only in this; that the loyalists lost abou,
.Hay in killed and wounded, and the Cana
dams but seren. The loyolis,s left behind
them, thirteen wounded two pieces Of
cannon, 100 cannon balls and considcra-
Bile quantity Of other munitions. I, seems
the attack was unexpcc' edly made upon
the troops from The windows and doors Of
the houses, with most deadly effect and
hardly had they brought their guns to bear
upon the enemy in front, before they were
attacked in the rear, and finally compelled
10 retreat in great confusion. Several OF
Tho soldiers slain it is SAID were thrown
into the river, and were afterwards found
by the patriots with their accoutrcments
npon them This is the patriot version, q,
81. Charles.
Our informant is very intelligent gen.
tIeman, who has good means of nforma-
'lon, and who, we believe, has stated to u~
truly what he believes TO be the facts
from all which it would appear that tho
loya|ists have placed themselves in a false
position. and if they ever return to Mont.
real again, they will, to say the least, be
very fortunate.
