closed upon the enemy to recon- 

 noitre. I discovered him on the 

 mountain road, and took a position 

 on an eminence to the right of it. 

 My men arrived and pushed on in 

 his front to cut off his retreat, 

 under a fire from his guns, which, 

 however, did no execution. After 

 examining his positions, I was in- 

 formed he expected reinforcements; 

 I therefore decided upon sum- 

 moning him to surrender. After 

 the exchange of several proposi- 

 tions, between J'eutenant-colonel 

 Boerstler and myself, in the name 

 of lieutenant-colonel De Haren, 

 lieut.-colonel Boerstler agreed to 

 surrender on the terms stated in 

 the articles of capitulation. On'my 

 return to my men to send on an 

 officer to superintend the details 

 of the surrender, you arrived. 

 I have the honour to be, Sec.
