Colonel Tucker it seems has been publicly reprimanded in General Or- ders.” Bit REPORT OF MAJOR MORGAN. N Fort Erie, August 5th, 1814. SIR, Having been stationed, with the first bat- tallion ot the first regiment of riflemen at Black Rock, on the evening of the 2d inst. I observed the British army moving up the river on the opposite shove, and suspected they might make a feint on Fort Erie with an intention of a real attack on the Buffaloe side. sition on the upper side of Conjocta Creek, and that night threw up a battery of some Jogs which I found on the ground and had the brilge torn away. About two o'clock the next morning, my piquits from below gave me informarion of the landing of nine boats full of troops halt a mile below. I immediately got my men (240 in number) to their quarters, and pa- tiently waited their approach. Ata quar- ter past four they advanced upon us, and commenced the attack, sending a party be- fore to repair the bridge, under the cover of their fire. When they had gotat good ri- fle distance, I openeda heavy fire upon them, which laid 2 number of them on the ground, and compelled them to retreat They then formed in the skirt of the wood, and keptup the fight at long shot continually reinforc- ing from the Canada shore, until they had 25 boat loads, and then attempted to flank us by sending a large body up the creek to ford it, when a detached licutenants Ry. an, Smith and Armstrong, with about 60 men, to appose tneir left wing, where they were again repulsed with considerable loss-- after which they appeared disposed to give up their object, and retreated by throwing six boat loads “on Squaw Island which enfi- Yadedthe creck, and prevented me from hars rassing their rear. Their superior num- bers enabled them to take their killed and wounded ofl the field, which we plainly saw, and observed they suffered severely. We found some of ther dead thrown into the river, und covered with logs and stones, and some on the field. We also collected a number of muskets and accoutrements, with clothing that appeared to have been torn to bind thei wounds. We took six prisoners, who stated the British force opposed tous to consist of from 12 to 1500 men, command. ed by lieutenant colonel Tucker, of the 41st regiment. They also state that their ob- ject was to re-capture gencral Riall, with the other British prisoners, and destroy the public stores deposited at Buflaloe. The action cantinucd about 2 hours and a half, 1 ain happy to state that they were complete- ly foiled in their attempts. Our loss is tri- fing compared with theirs----we had two Rilled and eight wounded. Iam sorry to in. form you that captain Hamilton, lieutenants Wadsworth and M:Intosh are among the latter. Their gallantry in exposing them- sclves to encourage their men I think enti. tles them to the notice of their country, By whole command behaved in a manner that merited my warmest approbation—and, in justice to them, I cannot avoid mention. ing the names of the officers, which are as follows :-----Captain Hamilton, licutenants Wadsworth, Ryan, Calhoun, M¢Intosh, Ar- nold, Shortridge, M
