Totten,  of  the  engineer  corps,  for  their  judicious  and
skillful  execution,  in  demolishing  the  enemy's  fort  and
batteries.  The  officers  of  the  artillery,  who  had  the
direction  of  the  guns,  generally,  are  very  deserving.
I  have  the  honor,  &c.

Our  loss,  in  the  above  action,  was  150,  in  killed  and
wounded.  The  enemy's  loss,  in  killed,  wounded,  and
taken,  was  893.
FURTHER,  OF  CHANDLER  AND  WINDER.
C^y  of  a  Utter  from  Maj.  Gen.  Lewis,  to  the  Secretary  of  War,  dated

Niagara^  June  14,  1813.
SIR-^You  will  perceive,  by  the  enclosed  copy  of  or-*
ders,  marked  I.  that  Gen.  Dearborn,  from  indisposition,
has  resigned  his  command,  not  only  of  the  Niagara  army,
but  of  the  district.  I  have  doubts  whether  he  will  ever
again,  be  fit  for  service.  He  has  been  repeatedly  in  a
state  of  convalescence,  but,  relapses  on  the  least  agitation
of  mind.
In  my  last,  I  mentioned  the  unfortunate  circumstances
of  the  capture  of  our  two  Brigadiers,  Chandler  and  Wind-
er;  the  particulars  are  detailed  in  the  report  of  Col.  Burn,
which  he  gives  from  the  best  in  formation  he  could  collect:
his  corps  lay  a  considerable  distance  from  the  scene  of  ac-
tive operation,  as  you  will  perceive  by  the  enclosed  dia-
gram, which  Is  on  a  scale  of  100  yards  to  the  Inch.  The
hght  corps,  spoken  of,  were  Captains  HIndman's,  Biddle's,
and  Nicholas'  companies,  of  the  2d  artillery,  serving  as
Infantry.  These  three  gentlemen,  and  Capts.  Archer  and
Towson,  of  the  same  regiment,  and  Leonard  of  the  hght
artillery,  are  soldiers,  who  would  honor  any  service;  their
gallantry,  and  that  of  their  companions,  was  equally  con-
spicuous, on  this  occasion,  as  In  the  affair  of  the  27th  ult.
