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

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.

By whole command behaved in a manner
that merited my warmest approbation—and,
in justice to them, I cannot avoid mention.

OBITUARY.
On the 16th instant Charles M. Morris,
scn of Joseph S. Morris, of this city, (brew-
" €r) was accidentally drowned in the river
Delaware, off the bar opposite the city whi~
ther he had gone to bathe.
The deceased was a youth of uncommon
promise-«+-his natural dispositions were tru-
ly amiable, and his talents were of the high-
er order----he had nearly completed his
classical education, under the direction of
one of the ablest teachers in Philadelphia,
and while hig attainments gave aniple proof
of his assidulty in the prosecution ob hus stu-
dies, they reflected great credit on learning
and care of his Preceptor. mk
But just at the period when parental fond-
ness was about to look for the fruit ofits
labors, the object of affectionate «solicitude
has, by an afflicting dispensation of unerring
wisdom, been suddenly removed from the
present state of existence, ere he had com-
pleted his 17thyear.
Although his manly form and vigorous
health might, according to human prospects,
have led to the expectation of length of days
----yety in his dcath we receive an other
solemn proof of the uncertainty of human
life.
