Scott } assailed and drove back Tweecldale s detachment upon | the main body of the enemy. The whole of the 4th of July was thus passed by Scott in a march of sixteen miles, and in driving in the British outposts. At night Scott took up his quarters at Street s Creek, about two miles from the enemy s encampment. Be tween the two armies lay the long level plain of Chippewa, the battle-field of the succeeding day. Face to face the two armies encamped for the night. The morningr of the 5th broke c...lear and glorious. The sun mounted high in the heavens, pouring his fierce beams upon the plain below. On one side of it ran the river, and on the other stood a dense forest. The force of the Americans under Scott was 1, 900 strong. The enemy, commanded by General Riall, numbered 2, 100 men. Of Riall s force, at least 1, 600 were the veteran troops of the Peninsular war, the flower ol the British army. The remaining 500 were dragoons and well-trained militia. Scott s men had never seen service. The British were a well-tried and hitherto conquering soldiery, possessing the advantage of a de cided superiority of numbers, and the prestige of in vincibility.
