It is strange that three days should be allowed to elapse before sending to acquaint me of this important fact.

I had no idea, until I received Lieut.-Colonel St.George's letter a few days ago that General Hull was advancing with so large a force.
The militia, from every account, behaved very ill.

The officers appear the most in fault.

Colonel Proctor will probably reach Amherstburg in the course of to-morrow.

I have great dependence in that officer's decision, but fear he will arrive too late to be of much service.
