were surrounded by land, and the sseam-
boats kept up murderous fire from the riv-
er. The Patriots fought nobly, but il was of
no use they were driven back and scattered.
AT sunset they held out a flag Of truce,
iwhichs though displayed three times, the
British did not regard they had orders to
: iire no quarter and take no prisoners sae-At
this time two of the houses occupied by the
Patriots, are burning, and the British regu-
lars are around the Wind Mill, looking on,
but not molested. There is no firing now on
either side. a'''. s,",-'. 's35o 40 h"h
From all appearances the Patriots are TO-
tally routed and annihilated. II is barely
possible that a very few may have escaped,
but probably not one will live to tell the tale
The excitement here is tremendous; the
utmost indignation prevails against Patriot
officers and leaders. 1t is a solemn truth that
there was but one General officer in the &C
ton Had it not been for such cowardly
N, and several more SUCH R this result
would not have taken place. Their lives are
almost threatend by several of our most re-
spectacle citizens, and they may suffer yet
for sending innocent and brave men where
they dare not go MenSelres! of..,,
The battle was most splendid-about 1000
lighting at time; the number of killed and
wounded in this engagement cannot fall much
snort OF 5O0. You may imagine how true
and faithful the Patriots at the Wind Mill
fought. when / tell you that Pix and
few more wentto them last night, at the
hazard of their lives, to take them off of their
position, but they refused to leave, saying
that they were confident their friends would
not desert them, and that there were thou
sands OF men In - county bound BY their
oaths to assist them, and that they would
abide the ISSUE, And now they are all, or
nearly all, MURDERED! respectfully yours,

4o'clock, p. M.-Mr. Jonah Woodruff has
this morning arrived from Ogdensburgh,
which place he left at noon yesterday He
saw one mana Pole--who escaped, and
who supposed himself to be the only one left
alive. The Patriots rushed out of the mill
at or soon after sunset, with three white flags,
but they were all speared as they went out
The Mill was then filled with British
troops, and the Pole who escaped, with two
others who had secreted themselves in the
lower part Of the, Mill, mingled with the
British troops, bat his two companions were
killed he himself escaped by wearing the

Sir,--I hive the honor to acquaint you, for
the information of his Excellency the Com
mander Of the Forces, that came down here
yesterday from Kingston. with A companies
of the s3d Regiment, two Ia Founders and Il
howitzer, and made up from the town to !;
position about 400 yards from the windmills
& adjoining houses occupied by the brigands
They did not move or come out of the hou.
ses to oppose my advance. The 1S Founders
opened with good effect upon the stone build
ing near the MILL. Capt. Sandon with two
gun-boats, in which he carried two eighteen
Founders, took up position below the wind
mill, which he commanded, bu. not with
much effect, After cannonading these build
ings for an hour or rather more, and observ-
ing the brigands to be quitting them and en-
deavoring to escape, ordered the troops to
advance; very little resistance was offered
by the party occupying the windmill, but a
small Are was opposed 70 US from the adjoin-
ing stone building. ~, ,..N
II being dark before the troops got round
these buildings, and the brigands in the wind
mill having displayed a white flag, they were
summoned TO surrender themselves uncondi-
tionaily, which they did. Eighty.six prison.
ers were Immediately secured, and 16uthers
who were wounded, were removed from the
mill as soon as convenience could be- found
a large supply Of arms, 26 kegs of powder
and three pieces of ordnance fell into our
hands. ,4l 1.tA@ .~F
Some ofthe -brigands effected their escape
from the buildings when darkness came on,
and bid themselves in the brush wood on the
bank under the mill. | directed the militia
to scour this. bank. and several prisoners
were secured, among others Pole calling
himself Gen. Van Sault, who, il is UNDER
stood, was the principal leader. All build
ings adjoining the mill we destroyed, but the
latter directed to be occupied by q compa-
ny of militia, and propose that it should con.
tinue to be- SO, or entirely demolished. ,.-,..

performed with the loss of one man only of
