Extract of a letter from on officer jpf the army .to the Editor, {dated at Qidletown, ( Lower Canada) March 31st, 18 ! 4, To record the events of battles, is a task which none but the moft ac. complithed h:ftorian or the moft ex. perienced foldier can with juftice per-, form ; but I have always thought it praxfu worthy and honorable to* PEE» the homage of refpect to individdg$} bravely, and emblazon to the, warm the valor and @rmmefs difplayed by dangers,. Yefterday morning Maj. Gen. Wil- kinfon left Champlain, at the head of his divifion, and armed here about 1 o'clock, P. M.-The firft objet of this movement I underfiand was the redaction of the emremy's fortrefs at the river La Cole, about four miles difftant from this place. After the troops had halted here a few minutes to tefrelh teinfelves, we proceeded up the road when our ad- vance, under Col, Clark and Muijor ?-?lmfy£h¢ was attacked by a firong force of the enemy. Gen. Biffeli was crdered «to fupport that point of the- action which he did with fpirit, and the enemy were compelled to re- tire with ijofs. Maj Gen. Wilkisfon ar this time on the field of aclion, ex: poled to the fire of the enemy, and difplayed that charatQeriftic fortitude and firmnefs, which are fo peculiar to him{elf in dayaufpeul and tr:bulation. We had alfo the pleafure of witnefling the inefficacy of the Congreve rocket, feveral of which were thrown by the enemy in and about our eolumn, ex- plodcd and proved as basinléefs as the fmoke which iféued from them. But perm t me, fir, to fuggeR that 'this was a mere slurrmfh when compared with the conflxft which fucceeded it, in our attack upon the enemy's firong pofi- mion in the afternoon, at the river La Cole. Their force at that place con- filted of about 1500 regulars, which was incteafed during the action by reivforceinents from the Efle aw Noi. Many were pafted in a fone building, the walls of which ate faid to be rear- ly four feetin thicknefs, and impreg- nable to every thing but the heavief artillery ; others in a blosk-houfe and funoueding buildings, which ferved to protect them for time from the im- preffion ef our mufquetry. We arri« ved at the river about 3 P2 M. with Col. Claik asd Maj. Forfyth, as the aivace guard who had been confider . ably expofed to fire on their flanks i im palling through the woods to the giver. Capt. M'Pherfor fucceded thE ad. vance with 4 pieces of artillery, thig$; gallant officer was military fecretary to Mj.
