There were eight thousandstationed at Niagara and four thousand at Plattsburgh, commanded byHampton, in addition to which, the forces under Harrison, were expectedto arrive in time to furnish important assistance. It was in pursuanceof this policy that Harrison suddenly left Fort George for Sackett'sHarbour. General Wilkinson was concentrating his forces at Grenadier'sIsland, which is situated between Sackett's Harbour and Kingston, atthe foot of Lake Ontario, and the plan was to descend the St.... Lawrence, in batteaux and gun-boats, passing by the forts and forming a junctionwith Hampton, to proceed to the Island of Montreal. The plan was not byany means an injudicious one, and its failure was almost marvellous. The expeditions were checked, and indeed annihilated by pettyskirmishes, and that lack of decision, so fatal to military commanders. Hampton advanced on the 20th of September. At Odelltown he surprisedthe British picquet, and from thence he took the road leading toL'Acadie. He had, therefore, to pass through a swamp, covered withwood, for upwards of five leagues, before reaching the open country.
