The circumstances attending The destruc

careful examination, ] am satisfied that moi
more than sir hundred and fifty men, of regu.

To oppose these, we had from tic0 thousand

They fled without discharging musket. The
enemy continued on this side of the river till
Saturday All their movements betrayed symp

property was left ia the town uninjured, and
the Ariel, which lies four miles above upon the
