It on the other hand, we make Sackett's Harbor the point of concentration, Kingston may hecome the object of our which by the way, will be but returning to the original plan of campaign, prescribed to general Deal born. This place is of much importance to the enemy, and will no doubt be defended by him with great obstinacy, & with all the resources which can be safely drawn from other points. That it may be taken by a joint application of our naval and militaiy means, is not however to be ques- tioned. The enclosed diagram will show the? number and character of the enemy's de- fence. His batteries No. 1, cannot be sus- tained but by his sleet. These carried, he is open to a descent at No. 2 and 3. Is he divides his force between both, we oppBse one half of W.s strength with the whole of ours. Is he concentrates at No. 2, weseizr. No. 3, and command both the town and the shipping. Is he concentrates at No 3, we occupy No. 2, and with nearly the same re- sults.

I have examined the projects of the cam- - pa. gn, intended fur the past and ensuing sta ges ot it, on the side nt Uanidi, which you put mo mv hands yesterday. The novelty ot the subject to me, and the pressure of time, Will prevent the diliberate consideration of it which its importance merits; nd therefore I shall confine myself Ic a sew brief observations touching the project of the 23d tilt. 1st Is we romlnaiul lake Ontario (without which the project is impracticable,) and our force be competent to carry Kingston, the in corporation of our troons should take nlaee at Stcketl's Harbor, and the attack be made as promptly as possible, 2d On the contrary, should our combined disposable force be deemed to the ceiiaiii auu speeuvretiucuon oi Kingston, men it may be preferable to strengthen our force at sort Georcre, cut up the British force in that quarter, destroy'the Indian establishments, & (.should general Harrison tail in objects) march a detachment to capture Maldm. Vhile these operitions are pending, a bold feint or provisional attack on Montieal. bv major general Hampton, will certainly call sir i.eo-e- e to mat. place ; and it is pre towards trie, he may carry best troops With him from Kingston. These suggestions spring from my desire to haza-r- t as little as possible in the outset, and to secure infallibly whatever mav be attejnnt- - ed, with the intention to increase our own, con- - hdence, to diminish that ot the enemy, and to popularise the war. Aster our opeiations oh the peninsula have neen closed, we may raze the works there Un- der jour provisions, leave our settlements on the strait in tranquility, and like licrhtnino- - must direct our whole force against Kingston ; and having reduced that place, and captured tue snipping, we may descend the stream, and form a junction with the column of general Hamp'on jn the of Montreal, should the lateness of the season permit, by which all our movements aster the conquest of Upper anada must be governed. To give general Hampton's movements a menacinir asnect. and to enable him to nmfit by events, he should take with him a train of battering cannon and mortar pieces, which iv ill be sound iiwJUpensable in the attack of .'lumrcai, and to weaken that ptace, and to sa- vor a protracted season, 1 would advise that a heavy column of militia or volunteers, for three raatuhs only, should be put in motion, from the vicinity ot lake Memphrama-gog- , to descend the nver St. Francis, and take p st on die right b..nk of lake St. Peter, with a battel ing ti sin of travelling can iages, organi- sed and eqoipt either to keep post or retire when tht season or other n.riimtiinrpi snuuld render expedient Before I close this letter, I will beg leave '" " Yur attention to several specihe points. on wh.rb I require information and authority, which I det.n to the salutary di's-- ! erianre ot the high and solemn trust about to devolve upon me. land, bred bv "Mr. Shafto, got b Snap, out ofjsumable th-i- t seeing our movements directed Honeyvood's Aia-b- i air, posses Sloner, may the the sJia'pvd ble BEN. the attack, dependencies, march incompetent his Ins neighborhood ifenga-gage- d es,eotnl ist A copy bf tlifc instructions to major central Hampton, for my government in the in fcorrespoi deuce to ensue be'ween us.

Sin I have given to jour observations of the 6th instant.-al- l the consideration they so justly merit. 1 he main objection to any plan, which than carry our operations wide of Kingston and westward of it, 'is, that in the tvent or its suc- cess", it leaves the strength of thr enemy un broken", it but voundsj the tail of the lion, & of course, i not calculated to hasten the of the war, either by increasing our own vigor, or by diminishing that of the ene- my. Kingston i the grrat depot of his resour-ces- , and 'So long as he retains this and keeps open his communication with the sea, he will not want the means of multiplying his naval olid other defences, and of reinfiircintr or re newing the war in the west. JSngston there sore, as well on ground of policy as of milita- ry principle, presents thej?rf and great object of the campaign. There are two ways of approaching this : by direct, or indirect attack : bj breaking down the enemy's battalions and forcing his works Or by seizing and obstructing the line of his com munication, and thus drying up the sources by vhichheis nourished and maintained. Cir- cumstances must govern in choosing between Mieie diflerent modes. Were our assembled land and naval forces compttent to the ob- ject, a direct attack would no doubt be the horter and better way; but is, on the con- - tnrv, our strength be inferior, or hardly equal to that of the enemy, the indirect attack must be preferred. These considerations have sug- gested the third plan, to be sound in my note of the 23d ultin i. To give execution to this, I would collect my force at the head of the St. Lawience, make every demonstration of at- tacking Kingston, proceed rapidly down the river, seize the northern bank at the v llage of Hamilton, leave a corps to fortify and hold it, march epon Montreal with the main body, ef feet there a junction with Hampton, and take a, position which shall tiiable to secure what jou gam. On this plan, the navy would perfinm its part bj occupying the mouth of the river, and preventing a pursuit by water; by clearing the l iver of the armed 'boats of th'e enemy ; by holding, with its own, the passage at. Hamilton, and by giving support to that position. Is the enemy pursues, it must be bv land, without subsistence, (excepting what he carries on his back) and without artillery. Is he remains stationary, hi3 situation must soon become even more serious, as the Country in which he is cannot long subsist him. It will then but remain for him to sight his way to Quebec, to perish in the attempt" or to lay do.vn Ins aj:ms. Aster this exposition, it is unnecessary to add, that in conducting the present campaign, you will make Kingston your primary object, and that yoll will choose (as cricumstances may warrant) between a di- rect and indirect attack on that post. I have the honor to be, With great respect. Sir, your most obdt. servt. JOHN AKMStltOKCt. Major general Wilkinson, commanding district No, 9. War Department, August 9, 1813. Sm In answer to that pirt of j'our letter of the 6th instant, which calls for infonnatfon, &c. on certain enumerated points, I hive the honor to state : : 1st.

Sm I arrived heie vesteiday; my machi nery :s in motion, and I have strong hopes of giving the change to sir George which will lead duectly to the obiectot histimportance Commodore Chauncey is in port here and his antaconist, sir James Yeo, at Kintrston. In the late interview between these naval command ers the first has zealously sought a combat, which the latter has cautiously avoided ; the superiority on the lake therefore remains still to be settled j but I have Chauncey's assurance lor it and place much confidence in his word ; it is obviously sir James' planto decline a con- flict ; but on what ground I cannot determine Our schooner here will be equipt and mann. ed by Wednesda) , and I shall sail with the squadron for sort Georcre probably the day as ter ; I am endeavoring to draw sir George as- ter me ; but w bether I succeed in this attempt or not, should our men and means answer re port, and Heaven savor me, I will be in posses- sion of Kingston, or below that place, on the 25th proximo. Major General Hampton must not budge until every thing is matured in this quarter. & we havp either got possession of Kingston or have cut off its communication with Montreal, of which I shell give him seasonable advice, via Plattsburgh, where I shall calculate on his arrival the 20th of the ensuing month com- pletely equipt for a forward movement. Is he chjnges his position and shows his colifmn wtflt of the lake sooner, it may carry sir George to Montreal and produce precautions which might otherwise be neglected until too late for any salutary effect. The militia called forth by governor Tomp- kins, of which by the bje gave me no in- formation, should not be arrayed hfore he hears from me at sort George, because the as- sembly of such a body would increase the and put ail Canada in counter motion, while incidents beyond the control of man may intervene to prociastinate my movements and thus baffle the effects of the proposed on tire side of Vermont ; and should a corps of militia be drawn from thence, no move should be made by them, until general Hampton has crossed Champlain. It would be highly interesting to the public service and exuemelj" acceptable to me to see you at Nigara, from whence should I find it practicable, is my intention to commence my movement down the lake, about the 15th of tire next month ; the best possible disposition for the safety of that frontier, and for the secu- rity of the vast mass of ordnance and stores which I must leave there, may render your advice and authority indispensably necessarj to avert clamors and prevent any obstruction to my prompt movement.

JOHN ARMSTRONG.Approved and adopted S3d July, 1813.

Washington, JlttgwtS, 1814.I have examined the projects of the cam- -

pa. gn, intended fur the past and ensuing stages ot it, on the side nt Uanidi, which youput mo mv hands yesterday. The novelty otthe subject to me, and the pressure of time,Will prevent the diliberate consideration of itwhich its importance merits; nd therefore I

shall confine myself Ic a sew brief observationstouching the project of the 23d tilt.

1st Is we romlnaiul lake Ontario (withoutwhich the project is impracticable,) and ourforce be competent to carry Kingston, the incorporation of our troons should take nlaeeat Stcketl's Harbor, and the attack be made aspromptly as possible,

2d On the contrary, should our combineddisposable force be deemed to theceiiaiii auu speeuvretiucuon oi Kingston, menit may be preferable to strengthen our forceat sort Georcre, cut up the British force in thatquarter, destroy'the Indian establishments, &(.should general Harrison tail in objects)march a detachment to capture Maldm.

Vhile these operitions are pending, a boldfeint or provisional attack on Montieal. bvmajor general Hampton, will certainly call siri.eo-e- e to mat. place ; and it is pre

towards trie, he may carry best troopsWith him from Kingston.

These suggestions spring from my desire tohaza-r- t as little as possible in the outset, andto secure infallibly whatever mav be attejnnt- -ed, with the intention to increase our own, con- -hdence, to diminish that ot the enemy, and topopularise the war.

Aster our opeiations oh the peninsula haveneen closed, we may raze the works there Un-der jour provisions, leave our settlements onthe strait in tranquility, and like licrhtnino- -

must direct our whole force against Kingston ;and having reduced that place, and capturedtue snipping, we may descend the stream, andform a junction with the column of generalHamp'on jn the of Montreal,should the lateness of the season permit, bywhich all our movements aster the conquestof Upper anada must be governed.

To give general Hampton's movements amenacinir asnect. and to enable him to nmfitby events, he should take with him a train ofbattering cannon and mortar pieces, whichiv ill be sound iiwJUpensable in the attack of.'lumrcai, and to weaken that ptace, and to sa-

vor a protracted season, 1 would advise that aheavy column of militia or volunteers,

JA. WILKINSON.Honorable John Armstrong,

Secretary of War.

War IJepartmnnt, Jug. 8, 1813.Sin I have given to jour observations of

the 6th instant.-al- l the consideration they sojustly merit.

1 he main objection to any plan, which thancarry our operations wide of Kingston andwestward of it, 'is, that in the tvent or its suc-cess", it leaves the strength of thr enemy unbroken", it but voundsj the tail of the lion, &of course, i not calculated to hasten the

of the war, either by increasing ourown vigor, or by diminishing that of the ene-my. Kingston i the grrat depot of his resour-ces- ,

and 'So long as he retains this and keepsopen his communication with the sea, he willnot want the means of multiplying his navalolid other defences, and of reinfiircintr or renewing the war in the west. JSngston theresore, as well on ground of policy as of milita-ry principle, presents thej?rf and great objectof the campaign.

There are two ways of approaching this : bydirect, or indirect attack : bj breaking down theenemy's battalions and forcing his works Orby seizing and obstructing the line of his communication, and thus drying up the sources byvhichheis nourished and maintained. Cir-

cumstances must govern in choosing betweenMieie diflerent modes. Were our assembledland and naval forces compttent to the ob-

ject, a direct attack would no doubt be thehorter and better way; but is, on the con- -

tnrv, our strength be inferior, or hardly equalto that of the enemy, the indirect attack mustbe preferred. These considerations have sug-gested the third plan, to be sound in my noteof the 23d ultin i. To give execution to this,I would collect my force at the head of the St.Lawience, make every demonstration of at-tacking Kingston, proceed rapidly down theriver, seize the northern bank at the v llage ofHamilton, leave a corps to fortify and hold it,march epon Montreal with the main body, effeet there a junction with Hampton, and takea, position which shall tiiable to securewhat jou gam. On this plan, the navy wouldperfinm its part bj occupying the mouth of theriver, and preventing a pursuit by water; byclearing the l iver of the armed 'boats of th'eenemy ; by holding, with its own, the passageat. Hamilton, and by giving support to thatposition. Is the enemy pursues, it must be bvland, without subsistence, (excepting what hecarries on his back) and without artillery. Ishe remains stationary, hi3 situation must soonbecome even more serious, as the Country inwhich he is cannot long subsist him. It willthen but remain for him to sight his way toQuebec, to perish in the attempt" or to laydo.vn Ins aj:ms. Aster this exposition, it isunnecessary to add, that in conducting thepresent campaign, you will make Kingstonyour primary object, and that yoll will choose(as cricumstances may warrant) between a di-

rect and indirect attack on that post.I have the honor to be,

With great respect.Sir, your most obdt. servt.

To detach such men from one distr'Ct to an-

Sackett's Harbor, August 21, 1814.Sm I arrived heie vesteiday; my machi

nery :s in motion, and I have strong hopesof giving the change to sir George which willlead duectly to the obiectot histimportance

Commodore Chauncey is in port here and hisantaconist, sir James Yeo, at Kintrston. In thelate interview between these naval commanders the first has zealously sought a combat,which the latter has cautiously avoided ; thesuperiority on the lake therefore remains stillto be settled j but I have Chauncey's assurancelor it and place much confidence in his word ;

it is obviously sir James' planto decline a con-

flict ; but on what ground I cannot determineOur schooner here will be equipt and mann.

ed by Wednesda) , and I shall sail with thesquadron for sort Georcre probably the day aster ; I am endeavoring to draw sir George as-

ter me ; but w bether I succeed in this attemptor not, should our men and means answer report, and Heaven savor me, I will be in posses-sion of Kingston, or below that place, on the25th proximo.

Major General Hampton must not budgeuntil every thing is matured in this quarter. &

we havp either got possession of Kingston orhave cut off its communication with Montreal,of which I shell give him seasonable advice,via Plattsburgh, where I shall calculate on hisarrival the 20th of the ensuing month com-

pletely equipt for a forward movement. Is hechjnges his position and shows his colifmnwtflt of the lake sooner, it may carry sirGeorge to Montreal and produce precautionswhich might otherwise be neglected until toolate for any salutary effect.

The militia called forth by governor Tomp-kins, of which by the bje gave me no in-

formation, should not be arrayed hfore hehears from me at sort George, because the as-

sembly of such a body would increase theand put ail Canada in counter motion,

while incidents beyond the control of man mayintervene to prociastinate my movements andthus baffle the effects of the proposed

on tire side of Vermont ; and should acorps of militia be drawn from thence, nomove should be made by them, until generalHampton has crossed Champlain.

It would be highly interesting to the publicservice and exuemelj" acceptable to me to seeyou at Nigara, from whence should I find itpracticable, is my intention to commence mymovement down the lake, about the 15th oftire next month ; the best possible dispositionfor the safety of that frontier, and for the secu-rity of the vast mass of ordnance and storeswhich I must leave there, may render youradvice and authority indispensably necessarjto avert clamors and prevent any obstructionto my prompt movement.

With high consideration and respect1 am, sir, jour obedient servant.
