CANANDAIGUA, May 2, 1813.
SIR, I received your letter of the 27th ult. At the time of
delivering your letter to the Secretary of War I had some conversa
tion with him on the subject of the war, and of employing such of
the Indians as have firearms and were offering their services to the
United States last fall. He observed that they may be of service
and would refer the matter to the President.
The President has given no permission to employ the Indians or
even accept of their services. He has sent a speech to the Six
Nations by me giving his advice to them to retire from the lines
during the war, to Alleghany, where they may sleep in safety.
(From Ketchum s History of Buffalo and the Senecas, Vol. II., pp. 427-8.)
Major-General John Armstrong, Secretary of War, to Major-General
Dearborn,
WASHINGTON, 15th May, 1813.
DEAR GENERAL, Your affair of the 27th ult. is matter of public
and private congratulation, much qualified, however, by the loss of
Pike and the escape of the frigate, the capture or destruction of which
was, according to the Commodore s calculations, to give him a decided
and permanent ascendency on the lake. Another drawback upon it,
less apt to be noticed by ordinary critics but in itself very vexatious,
is the escape also of Sheaffe with the main body of his regular force.
Under the present circumstances of Great Britain, bound as she is
neck and heels to the prosecution of the war in Europe, she can ill
afford to send to this country either men or money to support the
petite guerre in which she has so inconsiderately involved herself
4
with us. From information, the most direct and respectable, I am
assured that her regular force in both the Canadas has at no time
since the declaration of war exceeded three thousand men, and that
at the present time, by casualties, (death, desertion, &c.,) always at
work thinning the ranks of an army, this force is reduced at least
one-fifth. Taking then this fact for granted, we cannot doubt but
that in all cases in which a British commander is constrained to act
defensively his policy will be that adopted by Sheaffe to prefer the
preservation of his troops to that of his post, and thus, carrying off
the kernel leave us only the shell. To counteract this policy becomes
therefore a special duty on our part requiring the strictest attention
as well in projecting as in executing our attacks. On this head my
distance from you and my very insufficient knowledge of the topo
graphy of the country in which you act, make it improbable that
any suggestion I could make has not already presented itself to your
mind. As a general maxim, however, I may be permitted to say that
in concentrating our whole force on any given point of an enemy s
position, we necessarily leave all others open to him for escape,
whence it follows that to deprive him of this advantage two attacks,
(if our force permit it,) should be made, and one of these so directed
as to shut him out from all means of retreat, or at least to force him
into roads where, finding little or no accommodation, he may sustain
the greatest possible loss. In your late affair I have thought, (per
haps erroneously,) that had the descent been made between the town
and the barracks things would have turned out better. On that
plan the two batteries you had to encounter would have been left out
of the combat, and Sheaffe, instead of retreating to Kingston, must
have sought refuge at Fort George. In the affair before you nothing
will, I hope, be omitted, nor anything be misunderstood, and that
with regard to the garrison in particular it will not be permitted to
escape to-day that it may fight us tomorrow. For obvious reasons I
have made this letter private. On the records of the War Depart
ment it would appear to carry with it an official censure, whereas it
is in truth nothing more than the suggestions of one who, both for
your sake and his own, wishes you the fullest and most unqualified
prosperity.

General Dearborn to the Secretary of War.
HEADQUARTERS, FORT GEORGE, June 6, 1813.
SIR, I have received an express from the head of the lake this
evening with the intelligence that our troops were attacked at two
o clock this morning by the whole British force and Indians and by
some strange fatality, though our loss in numbers was small and the
enemy was completely routed and driven from the Held, both Brig
adier-Generals Chandler and Winder were taken prisoners. They
had advanced to ascertain the situation of a company of artillery
when the attack commenced. General Chandler had his horse shot
under him and was bruised by the fall. General Vincent, their com
mander, is supposed to have been killed. Colonel Clark was mortally
wounded and fell into our hands with sixty prisoners of the 49th.
The command devolved on Colonel Burn, who has retired to the
Forty Mile Creek. If either of the general officers had remained in
command, the enemy would have been pursued and cut up, or if
Colonel Burn had been an officer of infantry. The loss of the enemy
in killed, wounded or prisoners must exceed two hundred and fifty.
The enemy sent in a flag next morning with a request to bury their
dead. Generals Lewis and Boyd set off immediately to join the
advanced army. I never so severely felt the want of health as at
present, at a time when my services might perhaps be most useful.
I hope General Hampton will repair here as soon as possible.
June 8, 1813.
There was a mistake in the arrival of the express mail since
writing the above the enemy s fleet has passed, consisting of two
large ships and four heavy schooners. I hav.e consequently deemed
it prudent to concentrate the forces at this point.
(American State Papers, Military Affairs.)
ieut.-Colonel Harvey to Colonel Baynes.
BURLINGTON HEIGHTS, Sunday, 6th June, 1813.
MY DEAR COLONEL, The enemy having dared to pursue, as he
arrogantly termed it. this division by moving a corps of 3,500 men
with four field pieces and 150 cavalry to Stoney Creek, (within ten
miles of this position,) I strongly urged General Vincent to make a
forward movement for the purpose of beating up his encampment.
In the course of yesterday afternoon, our advanced post at Davis s,
(eight miles from hence towards Forty Mile Creek,) consisting of the
49th Regt., was driven in. I instantly went out for the purpose of
reconnoitering, and found the enemy had again withdrawn to his
camp at Stoney Creek. I therefore recommended to the General to
move the five companies of the King s, (say 280,) and the 49th Regi
ment, (say 424,) total 700 men, which was accordingly done at half-
past 11 o clock. General Vincent accompanied these troops, the con
duct and direction of which he was so good as to give to me. The
troops moved in perfect order and profound silence, the light com
panies of 49ih and King s in front, the 49th Regiment in the centre
and the King s as a reserve. In conformity with the directions I
had given, the sentries at the outskirts of the enemy s camp were
bayonetted in the quietest manner and the camp immediately stormed.
The surprise was tolerably complete, but our troops incautiously
advancing and charging across the line of camp fires, and a few
muskets being fired, notwithstanding my exertions to check it, our
line was distinctly seen by the enemy, whose troops in some degree
recovered from their panic and formed upon the surrounding heights,
poured a destructive fire of musketry upon us, which we answered
on our part by repeated charges whenever a body of the enemy could
be discerned or reached. The King s Regiment and part of the 49th
charged and carried the four field pieces in very gallant style, and
the whole sustained with undaunted firmness the heavy fire which
was occasionally poured upon them.
In less than three-quarters of an hour the enemy had completely
abandoned his guns and everything else to us. Our loss has been
severe, but that of the enemy much more so. Our trophies, besides
the three guns and howitzer, (two of the guns, by the bye, were
spiked by us and left on the ground for want of means of removing,)
are two brigadier-generals, one field officer, three captains, one lieu
tenant and about 100 men prisoners.
General Vincent being too much hurried and fatigued to write
to-day has desired me to forward to you with this letter the returns
of killed and wounded, as well as those of the prisoners and ordnance,
etc., taken. The Brigadier-General s despatch will be forwarded to-
8
morrow. In the meantime, he desires me to congratulate His Excel
lency on the complete and brilliant success of this enterprise, and on
the beneficial results with which it has been already attended.
Information has just been received that the enemy has entirely
abandoned his camp, burnt his tents, destroyed his provisions, ammu
nition, etc., and retired precipitately towards the Forty Mile Creek.
Our advanced posts occupy the ground on which his camp stood.
P. S. This is sent by Capt. Milnes, who proceeds with Brigadier-
Generals Chandler and Winder, and who, from having been present
both in the action of this and that of the 27th ultimo and all the
intermediate operations, is perfectly qualified to give His Excellency
every satisfactory information on these subjects.
J. H.
The circumstances in which I write will, I hope, excuse this
hasty and inaccurate scrawl, of which, moreover, I have no copy.

BURLINGTON HEIGHTS, HEAD OF LAKE ONTARIO,
6th June, 1813.
SIR, Having yesterday received information of the enemy
having advanced from the Forty Mile Creek with a force consisting
of 3,500 men, eight or nine field pieces and 250 cavalry, for the
avowed purpose of attacking the division under my command in this
position, and having soon afterwards received a report that he had
passed the swamp and driven in my advanced posts from Stoney
Creek and Brady s, Lieut.-Col. Harvey, D. A. G., immediately went
forward with the light companies of the King s and 49th Regiment,
and having advanced close to and accurately ascertained the enemy s
position, sent back to propose to me a night attack on his camp. The
motives which induced Lieut.-Col. Harvey to make and me to agree
to this proposal were these : This position, though strong for a large
body, is far too extensive for me to hope to make any successful stand
against the superior force understood to be advancing against me in
three separate points, viz. : By the lake, by the. centre road and by
the mountain on my right. The attack I knew would not be delayed ;
I had neither time or inclination precipitately to retreat from my
position. I therefore embraced the proposition of Lieut.-Col. Harvey
as an alternative, not only more worthy of the gallant troops under
my command but as offering the best chance of crippling the enemy
and disconcerting all his plans, as well as gaining time for retreat
should that measure still be found necessary.

The enemy s camp was distant about seven miles ; about half-
past 111 moved forward with the five companies of the 8th, (King s,)
and 49th Regts., amounting together to only 704 firelocks. Lieut.
Col. Harvey, who conducted it with great regularity and judgment,
gallantly led on the attack. The enemy was completely surprised
and driven from his camp, after having repeated!} formed in different
bodies and been as often charged by our brave troops, whose conduct
throughout this brilliant enterprise was above all praise. The action
terminated before daylight, when three guns with one brass howitzer,
with their tumbrils, two Brigadier-Generals, Chandler and Winder,
first and second in command, and upwards of 100 officers, non-corn-
missioned officers and privates remained in our hands.
Not conceiving it prudent to expose our small force to the view
of the enemy, who, though routed and dispersed, \vas still formidable
as to numbers and position, he having fled to the surrounding heights
and having still four or five guns, the troops were put in motion at
daybreak and marched back to the cantonments. After we had
retired and it had become broad day, the enemy ventured to return
and occupy his camp, only, however, for the purpose of destroying
his encumbrances, such as blankets, carriages, provisions, spare arms,
etc., after which he commenced a precipitate retreat towards the 40
Mile Creek, where he effected a junction with a body of 2,000 men
on their march from Niagara to reinforce him. I cannot conclude
this despatch without calling Your Excellency s attention to the
following officers :
To Lt.-Col. Harvey, the Dept.-Adjt. General, my obligations are
particularly due ; from the first moment the enemy s approach was
known he watched his movements and afforded me the earliest infor
mation ; to him indeed I am indebted for the suggestion and plan of
operations. Nothing could be more clear than his arrangements, nor
more completely successful in the result. The conduct of Major
Plenderleath, who commanded the 49th Regt., was very conspicuous;
by his decision and prompt efforts the surprise of the enemy s camp
was complete, and all his efforts to make a stand were rendered
ineffectual by the bayonet, which overthrew all opposition. A party
of the 49th Regt., with Major Plenderleath at their head, gallantly
charged some of the enemy s field pieces and brought off two six-
pounders. Major Ogilvie led on in the most gallant mariner the five
companies of the King s Regt., and whilst one-half of that highly
disciplined and distinguished corps supported the 49th Regt., the
