when the British forces under Gen. Drum

than that which then commenced; the
roar OF The neighboring cataract lost itself
in the booming Of The csnnon--the voices
oi msny waters and the voices Of battle
sang bass iogether--and the dead slept in
sweet forge,fulness upon the moonlit bill.

BY the enemy's cannon. concluded that Il
