 A dispatch, of whicli the follow-

 Sir George Prevost, Bart. : —

 lying off Fort Erie, as detailed in. 

 the enclosed extract of a dispatch 

 from Lieut.-General Drummond, 

 having encouraged the expectation 

 that a favourable period had ar- 

 rived for attacking the enemy in 

 their entrenchments, the Lieut.- 

 General was induced to order an 

 assault upon Fort Erie, and the 

 works connected with it, before 

 the break of day on the 15th

It is with deep concern I have 

 now to acquaint your Lordship, 

 that notwithstanding there was 

 the fairest prospect of success at 

 the commencement of the attack, 

 our troops were afterwards obliged 

 to retire without accomplishing 

 their object, and with very con- 

 siderable loss. 



To Lieutenant General Drum- 

 mond's official report on this sub- 

 ject (a copy of which I have the 

 honour of transmitting), I beg
