that while philosophical correctness of

of the nartatiVe is lost. 'An outline hoW.

with Long Island, left the whole adjacent
coast at their mercy. The British. after
occupying the Inland, erected on it a fort,
nearly opposite to Saybrook, which was
used as a depot for stores and provisions
for the army.
There was at that time stationed in Con

wateh-word of American freedom roused
them from their sluinbers, and ignorant of
the numbers of their assailants, and Ills
tattled by the three attacks, they fought
without order or effect, and soon alarm

Twill hot, here, trust myself to' add a
soldier's comment upon those attempts
but I May thank, God that he did not allow
them, or subsequent injuries, to break down
entirely the spirit and abilities. (such as they
are) with which He has endowed me.
Foreseeing, at Washington, that, front
the great demands of commerce, at the
ment, it would he difficult, if not impossi
ble. to take up. perhaps at any price, a suf . -
ficient number of vessels at New Orleans
and Mobile. to transport the Regiments of
my expedituin from the Rio Grande fron
tier to Vera Cruz. 1 endeavored to impress
upon the War Department the necessity
of sending out, from the Northern and
Eastern ports, a certain number of large
ships in ballast, in order that the expedi
tion might not be delayed, and in view of
"the fixed fact"—the return of the voviito
to Vera Cruz. in the spring of the year—
that a delay of a few weeks was likely to.
prove a total defeat.
In a paper transmitted to meheaded
' "Memorandum for the Quartermaster Gen
' eral," marked "War Department, Decent ,
tier 15, '46," and signed by the Secretary,
!which I received, Jan. 8. it is said :
"Independently of this !lumbar of trans
ports for troops and ordnance stores. [from
the North] there will he required, say, five
ships for the transportation of the [surf]
boats now being prepared. besides which
ten vessels must be taken up and Pent out
in ballast, [for troops] unless stores ran
he put on board, to make up the number,
I[4O]requiredby thecommandingGeneral.“
The date of this memorandum is Dec.
t 15. more than three weeks after my 'TAM
sition and departure from Washington.—
Of not one of the "ten vessels" in ballast,
or with stores, (leaving room for troops)
have I heard up to this day. Relying up
on them, confidently, the embarkation was
delayed, in whole or in part. at the BraXos
and Tampico, from the 15th of January to
the 9th of March, leaving, it was feared,
mit half the time needed for the reduction
of Vera CruZ and its castle before the re:
titrs of the yellow fever. Rut hart the surf- ,
boats came at all, and of the siege train
and ordnance stores, only about one-half`
had arrived when the Mexican flags wee
