The following song, simple, deeply pathetic, and
even sublime, may, without exaggerated praise,
be pron0unce(l the most ex_q'uistte performance

a Scottish divine and historian.)
TIVIT BRAES OF YARROW.
THY braes were bonny. Yarrow stream,
When first on them I met my lover;
Thy braes how dreary, Yarrow stream,
‘When now thy waves his body cover!
Forever now, 0 Yarrow stream,
Thou art to me a stream of sorrow;
For never on thy banks shall I
Behold my lot-e,‘the flower of Yarrow.
He promis’d meta milk-white steed,
To bear me to his father’s bower ;
He promis’d me a little page
To ‘.,-quit-e me to his father’s towers ;
E-le promis'd me a wet-lding-ring;
'l'he werltling day was lix’d to-m0l‘i'0w
Ntitv he is wedded to his ,£_>,'raVe—
Alas! his watery grave in Yarrow.

‘ Sweet were his words when last we met ;
My passion I as freely told him I
Clasp’d in his arms, I little thought
I That I should never more behr:-ld him.
Scarce was he gone, I saw his ghost I
ll; vaiii.sli’ti with a shriek of sorrow----
Thrice did the water-wratli*' ascend,
And gave adole fol groan through Yarrow.
His mother from the tvitttlotv look’d,
With all the longings of a mother ;
His little sister weeping walk’d
The green wood path to meet her brother.
They sought him East, they sought him ‘West,
They sought him all the forest thorough;
They only saw the cloud of night,
They only heard the roar of Yarrotv Z
No longer from the window look,
Thou hast no son, thou tender motlier!
No longer walk, thou lovely maid 3
~ Alas! thou hast no more a brother.
No longer seek him East or \Vest,
And search no more the forest thorough ;
For wandering in the night so dark,
I He fell a lifeless corse in Yarrow.

BRITISH ACCOUNTS OF THE LATE WAR.
A woik has lately been published in Loittlon,
which has been ret;eive«.l at Bos‘.on,entisled a 1 l"—.':':::‘-
l'a'.l\'c of the "cIatnpaig:tis.o." the if-i'it.sh. a:'tmy, at
‘sf.-isliiiigtcn and New-Otietins, in the years l8l4
and 1815--By an oliicer who served in the expe-
dition.’ ‘Tile Boston Daily Atlvettiser has given
some interestin_g extiacts from this work, inclu-
ding the accotmt of the capture of '\Vashing-ton,
the battle at_New-Orleans, and the attack on "Bal-
timore. Believing that all our readers take a deep
interest in this subject, we shall endeavor to pub-
lish whaflias appeared in the Boston papers, as our
limits will permit, commencing this week with
THE BATTLE or NF.‘.V-ORLEANS.
After desctibirig the unsuccessful attack upon
our lines from their batteries on the lst of Janua-
ry the author p!'UCC::'(lS to give the following ac-
count ufthe assault which was made on the 8th:
flit was determined to divide the army. to send
part across the river, who should seize the ene-
my’s guns and turn them on themselves; while
the remainder should at the same time make a
general assault along the whole entrenchment.—-
But before this plan could be put in execution, it
would be necessary to cut a canal across the en-
tire neck of land, from the Bovo tle Calaline to
"the river, of sufficient width and depth to admit
of boats being brought up from the lake. Upon
this arduous undertatting were the troops imme-
diately employed, and by unremittctl exertions,
they succeeded in effecting their purpose by the
till; of January.’ _ 4

was resolved to lose no time in mailtitig"iis'ef"o'l' it.
l-lo-ats were accordingly ordered for the transpor-
ration of 1400 tnen ; and Col. Thornton", with the
S5th_t:egirnent, the marines and a party of sailors
were ordered to cross the river. But a number
of tintowartl accidents occttrrcd, to spoil a plan of
operations as accurately laid down as any in the
course of the war. 'l'he soil tlirough which the
canal was dug being soft, parts of the bank gave
way, and choking up the channel, prevented the
heaviest boats-from getting forward, and thus, iti-
stead of 1400 men, only 350 i-caclietl their desti-
nation. Even these did not arrive at the appoint-
ed time. -A.CCOl'(llllg to the pre-concerted plan
Col. Thot_',nt'on’s detachment was to cross the riv-
er itiit_t1et'i‘iutely after dark. They were to push
.fot'wa'r-?l' so as to carry all the batteries, and point
the guns before day-light ; when upon the throw-
ing upoi at f0Cli8!, they were to commence firing
upon the c2ietny’s line, whicli at the same ino-
ment was to bepattacked by the main ofour army.
But day had already broke, and the signal rocket
was seen in the air, while‘ they were yet 4 miles
from the batteries, which ought to have been ta-
ken hours before.’ ~
The writer goes on to tell how the main army
was disposed. Scaling ladt‘crs and fg15cin(;g had
been prepared, with which they were to fill the
ditch and scale the American cntrenchments, and
the 44th regiment was selected as best calculated
to perform this duty. ‘ All things were arr;,n.
ged on the night of the 7th, for the Silt was fix.
ed on as the clay decisive of the fate of New-On
leans.’
‘ The main body armed and moved forward
some way in front of the piquets. There they
stood waiting for day-light, and listening with the
greatest anxiety for the firing which ought now
to be heard on the opposite bank. But this atten-
tion was exerted in vain, and day dawned upon
them longbefoie they desired its appetti".tnce.-....
Nor was Sir Edward Packenham disappointed in
this part of his plan alone. Instead of secingev-
ery thing iti readiness for the assault, -he saw his
roops in battle array, indeed, but not a ladder or
fascine on the field.
The indignation of Packenham on this occasion
cannot be described. Gallopping towards cop
Mullens, who led the 44th, he commanded him
instantly to return with his regiment for the lad.
ders, but the opportunity ofplantiug them was
, lost, and though they were brouglit-top, it was
only to be scattered over the field by the frighted
bearers, for our troops were by this time visible
to the enemy. A dreadful fire was accordingly
opened upon them, and they were mowed down
by hundreds, while they stood waiting for orders.
Seeing that all his well laid plans were frustra-
ted, Packenham gave the word to advance, and
the other regiments leaving the 4-tth with the
ladders and fascines behind them, rushed on to
the assault. On the left, a detachment of the
95tli, 21st, and 4th, stormed a -three gun battery
and took it. Here they remained for some time
in the expectation of support; none arriving, and
a strong column of the enemy forming for its re
covery, they determined to anticipate the attack,
by pushing on. The battery which they had ta-
ken was in advance of the body of the works, be-
ing cut oil‘ from it by a ditch, across which only a
single plank was thrown. Along this plank did
these brave men attempt to pass ; but being op-
posed by overpowering nttmhers, they we-,re rc-
pulsed; and the Americans, in turn, forcing their
way into the battery, at length succeeded in re-
capturing it with immense slaughter. (-)n the
right, again, the 21st and 4th being almost cut to
pieces and thrown into some confusion by the en-
eniy’s fire, the 93d pushed on and took the le:-.ttl.
lelastening forward, our troops soon reaclit-.tl the
ditch ; btit to scale the parapet without ladders
was impossible. Some few, indeed, mounting
one upon another’s shoulders, sttccceclcd in criter-
ing the works, but these were instantly overpow-
ered, most of them killed, and the rest taken;
while as many as stood without were opposed to
a sweeping fire, which cut them down by ti hole
companies. It was in vain that the most obsti-
nate courage was displayed. They fell by the
hands of men whom they absolutely did not see ;
for the Americans, without so much as lifting
their faces above the ramparts, swung their fire-
loclts by one arm over the wall, and discharged
them directly upon their heads.
Poor Packenham saw how things were going,
and did all that a general could do to rally his bro-
ken troops. Riding towards the 44th, which had
returned to the ground, but in great disorder, he
called out for Col. Mullens to advance; but that
officer had disappeared and was not to be found.
He therefore prepared to lead them on himsel .
and had put himself at their head for that purpose,
wl:-2n he received a slight wound in the knee by
a niusltet lJ'ttll,'o‘VlllC.h killed his horse. Mounting
ta--*>t'tser, he agttin headed the ll-J.-th, when a second
bail tool; cfihct more fatally, and he dropped life-
less into the arms of his aid-r.lr.':~camp.
Nor weie Generals Gibbs and Keane inactive ;
riding through the ranks they strove by all means
to encourage the assailants and recall the fugi-
tives ; till at length both were wounded, and
burnt: off the field. All was now confusion and
dismay. ‘.Vithout leaders, ignorant of what was
to be done, the troops first halted and then began
to retire ; till finally the retreat was changed into
a flight, and they quilted the ground in the utmost
disorder. But the retreat was covered in a gal-
lant style by the reserve. Making a for;wai'd mo-
tion, the 7th and 43d presented the appearance of
a renewed attack ; by which the enemy were so
much awed that they did not venture beyond their
lines in pursuit of the fugitives.
\Vhile affairs were thus disastrotisly condticl-
ed in this quarter, the party under Col.Thornton
had gained the landing place. On stepping a-
shore, the first thing they beheld was a rocket
thrown up as a signal that the battle was began.
This unwelcome sight added wings to their speed.
Forming in one little column, and pushing for-
ward a single company as an advanced guaitl, they
hastened on, and in half an hour rsaclied a canal,
along the opposite brink of which a detaciimeiit
of Americans was drawn up. To dislodge them
was the work of a moment ; a boat witli a can-
nonade in her how got upon their llank, gave tlicrn
La single discharge of grape, while the adiaiiced
. .. fvgtiard extended its ranks, and approaclit-d at don
of ar-
ble quick time. But they scarcely waited till the
latter were within range, wiicn firing a voll-.-_v,
they fled in conf. sion. 'i"nis, however, was on-
ly an outpost. ‘Ill’: main body was some \\’‘d_)''
in rear and amounted to no fewer than fifteen
hundred men.
It was not long, however, before they likewise
presented themselvts. Like their countrymen
on the other side, they were strongly‘ entrenched,
ti thick parapet with a ditch covering their front
while a battery oti their left swept the whole po-
sition, and two field pieces ct-mmantletl the road.
()fartillery the assailants possessed not a single
piece, nor any means, beyond what nature gave,
of scaling the rampart. Yet nothing daunted by
the 0l)al'tlClCS before them, or by the immense
odds to which they were opposed, dispositions for
an immediate attack were made. The 85th ex-
tending its files, stre tclied across the entire line
ofthe enemy, the sailors in column prepared to
stortn the battery, wliil<:_'-,tl}t_3 ,marines remained
sortie little way in rear qf_t_h‘é:' centre as a reserve.
These arrangements b’t3i'ng completed, the hu-
gle soundcd, atid our troops advanced. . The sai-
lors raising a shout, rushed forward, but were met
by so heavy a discharge of grape and canister,
that for an iiisiaiit they paused. Ilccoifcriiig them-
selves, however, they again p1lSl1t:(l‘t)n ; and the
85th dashing forward to their aid, they received a
heavy fire of musketry, and eu'.leavot'ed to charge.
A smart firing was now for a few minutes kept
up oti both sides, but our people had no time to
waste in (liS{Z!lll.fl_9‘llilflg', and accordingly hurried
on to storm the works ; upon which, a panic sei-
zed the Atnericans, they losttbeir order and fled,
leaving us in possession of their tents, and of 18
pieces of cannon. '
In this al’f.iir our loss amounted to only three
men killed, and about forty wounded. Among
the latter of whom, was Col. Tliornton. Nor
could the loss on the part of the enemy greatly
exceed our own. Had they stood"*firm, indeed,
it is bar ly conceivable that so small a force could
have taken an entrenched position from numbers
so superior 5 at least it could not have been done
without much bloodshed. But the fact is, that
they were completely surprised. An attack on
this side was a circumstance of which thev had not
dreamed ; and when men are assaulted in a point
which they deem beyond the reach of danger,
it is well known that they defend themselves with
less vigor, than where such an event was antici-
pated. ‘
\/Vhen in the act of storming these lines, the
word was passed. through our ranks, that all had
‘ gone well on the opposite bank. This naturally
added to the vigor of the assault ; but we had not
followed our flying enemy above two miles, when
we were commanded to halt. The realstate of
the case had now reached us, and the same mes-
senger who brought tliermelaticlioly news, bro’t
likewise an order to return.
The place where we halted was in tear ofa ca-
nal, across vrhicli was thrown a wootlen bridge,
furnishing, apparently, the only means of passing.
At the opposite end of the bridge stood a collec-
tion of wooden cottages, and one chateau ofsome
size. Here a company was stationed to serve the
double purpose of a piquet and a rear guard;
while the rest of the troops, having rested for half
an hour, began their march towards the point
where they had landed.
As soon as the main body had got sufficiently
on their way, the piqttet likewise prepared to fol»
low. »
But in doing so, it was evident that some risk
must be run. The ememy haning rallied, began
once more to show a front ; that is to say, parties
of sixty ora hundred men now approached tore-
coniioitre. Tltcse, lioive-vet‘, must be deceived,
ntlierwise a pursuit might be commenced and the
re~t:tiib:tikation of the whole corps hindered or
prevented. Tlic: ollicer commanding the piquet,
accorcliiigly formed his men, and made a show of
zi(lvaticit.s;.:. Upon which the Americans fled,
Wllcll w liecliiig abutit he set fire to the chateau ;
and, Ltlltlul‘ C()\‘t:t of the smoke, destroyed the
lxitlge and l't:ll'(:alt:(l. Making all iiaste to-
wards the rear, he overtook his conirades just as
the)‘ lltttl begun to enibai'k; when the little corps
being once more united entered their boats, and
reaclicd the opposite bunk without molestation.’

‘As soon as the whole army was re-united. and
the broken regiiiieiits had recovered their order,
a ilag of truce was tlespatched with proposals for
the burial ofthe dead. To accomplish this end
a trace. of two days was agreed upon, and parties
were immediately sent out to collect and bury
their fallen coini'ade.<. Prompted by curiosity, I
mounted my horse and rode to the front; but of
all the sights I ever ttitiiessed, that which met
me thct'::,was beyond c-‘-mpaiison the most shock-
ing, and the most iiuniiliating. \Vitliin the small
compass of a few hundred yards, were gathered
togctlier nearly a tliotisaiitl bodies, allof them ar-
rayed in British uiiifornis. Not a single Ameri-
can was among them ; all were English ;8I1(l they
were thrown by dozens into shallow holes scarce-
ly deep enough to furnish them with a slight cov-
eiitig of earth. Nor was this all.—An American
ofiiccr stood by smoking ii segar, and apparently
counting the slain with a look of savage exulta~
tion ; and repeating over anti over, to each indi
vidual that approached liinithat their loss amount-
ed only to eight men killed and 14- wotinded.
I confess that when I b~.--held this scene I hung
down my head, half in sorrow, and halfin anger.
‘With my oflicious infot‘niant.I had every inclina-
tion to pick a quarrel ; but he was on duty, and
an armistice existed, both of which forbade the
measure. I could not. howeter, stand by and re-
press my choler, and since to give it vent, would
have subjected me to more than a mere duel. I
turned my l‘.orse’s head. and galloped back to the
camp. But the change of expression, visible
there iti every countetiauce, no language cati
pOtH'tt‘ay. Only 20 hours ago all was life and
animation ; wherever you went you were enliven.-
ed by the sound of merriment and raillery ; while
the expected attack was mentioned in terms indi-
cative not only of satigtiine hope, but of the most
perfect ctitiiitlence as to its result. l‘5ow glooni
and discontent every wherc prevailed. Disap-
pointment, grief, indignation anrl rage succeeded
each other in all bosoms. Nor was this dejec-
tion titttlétslonttl wholly by the cotiscitiutetiesfs of
laurels tartiislicd. The loss of comrades was full
as afflicting as the loss of honor; for out of more
than 7000 men brought on this side into the field,
no fewer titan 2000 had litllen.’
gltnutig the evils to which he attributes the loss
of the battle, he ptirticularly iiistaiices desertioii.
He says that indiiiduals -tvould approach their
posts, offering money and lands as the price of
(lCSCl‘tltiI‘., and pet'suadct.l the very sentincls from
their posts.
* There occurred, however, one instance of
magtianimous fidelity on the part ofa British sol-
dier, who was addressetl by an American officer
one day while he stood suiitinel. The American
oll'ered him a l‘l',lIl'.it'C(I dollars and a quantity of
of land if he '.vo=.:ld come over. The Englishman
pretentlcd to be deaf, and begged his tcmpter to
come at little nearer, that, in his own words, ‘.he
might tell him all about it.’ .lotiath;tu, exulttng
at the prospect ofdrawing this fine fellow from his
ditty, approached withiri twenty paces of where
he stood, and just as he opened his mouth to re-
new the offer; the sentinel levelled his piece and
shot him through the arm. Nor was be content-
ed with inflicting this punishment; walking for-
ward,he seized his wounded enemy,aiid reproach-
ing him with dishonorable dealings, brought him
a prisoner to the camp.’

The following incident related by the author,
reminds us ofa story told by a traveller in Ohio,
who seeing a hat in -.1 slough near bim,reached out
his cane for the purpose of taking it, when, on
lifting it, he was surprised to find a man under-
neath, wlio infortnegl him rather calmly, that he
he was fearft..-oflosing his horse, which was still
further below.
‘ As soon as. we entered. upon the path through
the marsh, all opnifott has at an end. Being con-
structed of materials so slight, and resting on a
foundation so infirm, the treading ofthe first corps
beat it to pieces; those which followed were
therefore compelled to flounder on in the best
way they could ; and by the time the rear of the
column gained the morass, all trace ofa way had
entirely disappeared. But not only were the reeds
torn asunder and sunk by the pressure of those
who had gone before, but the bog itself, which at
first might have furnished a few spots of firm
footing, was trodden into the consistency of mud.
The consequence was, that every step sunk us to
the knees and frequently higher. Near the ditch-
es, indeed, many occurred which we had the ut-
most difficulty in crossing at all ; and as the night
was dark, there being no moon, nor any light ex-
cept what the stars supplied, it was difficult to se-
lect our steps, or even to follow those who called
to us that they were safe on the opposite side.—
‘At one’, ofthese places, I myself beheld an unfor-
tunate man gradually sink till he (llS_appeafcd,._,
_I saw him flounder in,'heard his cry for help, and
ran forward with the intention of saving him ; but
before I had taken a second step, I myself sunk as
high as the breast. . How I contrived to keep my,
self from srxi'otlietfin.g, is more than I can tell, for
I felt no solid bottom under me, and continued
to go deeper and deeper, till the mud reached my
arms. Instead of endeavoring to help the poor
soldier, of "whom nothing now could be seen ex.
cept the head and hands, I was forced to beg as.
sistance for myself, when a leather canteen strap-
being thrown to me, I laid hold of it, and was
dragged out just as my fellow sufferer became;
invisible.’ ’

Dear Fiiend-I have not any thing very par.

feel toward you and the benevolent Society, which
was of so much benefit to me. My regard {cl-
yotir kindness can only be expressed by protect-
ing these servants of yours now in our kingdom.
finch care shall be taken of these friends, as I
trust will be approved of by you. Truly it is a
blessing to this betiighted land ; and unto the
Board our grateful hearts we pour. A
I feel very happy myseifto have their society.
I feel almost in America. and could I render any
assistance, it would be with the greatest pleas-
ure.
My father is much pleased with their being
here. He is willing to do all he can for them ; to
give them as much land as they wish, and furnish
them with such piovision as they need. All he
wants is, he says, to have them teach his people,
and not behave like bad white men.
I am l't'.‘qU€Sl.t'd by my father to send to you for
a minister and several mechanics ;-—-house and
ship carpenters, cabinet-makers, and with the rest
a farther, and good saw-mill. These my father
is anxious to have. 'l he mill we shall expect to
pay for when received. And a good pliysician ;
one that is capable of doing his duty. The ex.
