The troops destined to act against Plattsburg were stationed between Laprairie and Chan^bly. Af^r his repulse at Lacolle, the American General Wilkinson was replaced by General Izard. The close of the war in Europe having disengaged much of the military force there maintained by Britain, as above said, the Americans were fain to change situations, adopting the defensive for the offensive ...; they b^an to see already, therefore, that if they did not show dispositions for peace, they would have to encountw the whole embattled strength of the British empire. Izard set out in August, with a corps 5,000 strong, to reinforce the American army at Fort Erie, leaving only 1,500 men at Plattsburg: this became an invitation to the British to hasten to their attack, and Prevost accordingly caused hb forces to advance. He crossed the frontier at Odelltown, took possession of Champlain village, and occupied an entrenched camp, previously quitted by the enemy, on the river Chazy.
