lop gained the left flank of the enemy, and passed them without receiving a single shot; after which we continued our retreat to South-River, in our way we fell in with small parties, which we either killed or made prisoners. A number of rebels had been purposely dispatched, to break up the bridge at South-River, which would have com- pleately cut off our retreat, but fortunately the infantry of the Rangers, had got timely possession of that pass; we reached South-River before four o'clock in the afternoon ; we did not march less than 70 miles through this rebellious province, and had it not been for Col. Simcoe's misfortune, our loss would not be worth mentioning .- The loss of the Colonel, who was by all supposed to be dead, inspired the two troops with additional courage, and to revenge his mis- fortune, no force the rebels could have sent against us, but would have been bravely charged by them .- I should have mentioned, that after the charge near Brunswick, their mounted never followed us, or fired a single shot.
I am your humble Servant, &c.
P. S. I should have mentioned, that we were embarked after our retreat, at South Amboy, and disembarked on Staten-Island early that evening.
