10th, Our bombs threw several shells into the French camp near Beauport, which they return’d with shot from their batteries, that is large boats with a gun each, of 12 to 24 pounders, of these they have about twenty, in different parts of the river, who keep so close under their own breast, that we can get no opportunity of cutting them off.—In the evening the _Captain_ dropt as close in shore as the depth of the water would allow, and fir’d several broad-sides at their camp, which they were oblig’d to move a little farther back; but as they are entrenched close to their breast-works on the bank, cannot drive them from thence. At night the enemy, having got a mortar down to their camp, threw several shells very near the _Captain_ and the Bombs, upon which they weigh’d and drop’d out of their reach. 11th, The enemy made a very brisk fire from the town, on our batteries, erecting on Point Levi. 12th, The communication between the fleet and our camp below the falls being interrupted by their battoes, we mounted two 24 pounders on Orleans to protect the passage,—our troops at Montmorency, which are about 3000, are encamped close to the eastermost side of the falls, as the enemy is to the westward, within musquet-shot of each others centinels. 13th, At night our batteries at Point Levi, of six 32 pounders, and four mortars, were opened on the town; at the same time the bombs having dropt up play’d upon it also; but the ebb tide making very strong down, their anchors came home, and they were obliged to drop down again. The enemy having opened a small battery to the westward of the falls, fired briskly upon our camp; but upon drawing some of our cannon on the bank below the falls, soon silenced them. This day the mortars were landed from the bombs, in order to be mounted on Point Levi; we keep an incessant fire from thence on the town, which they return, but with little effect. Our carcasses from the battery on Point Levi set the Upper Town on fire, which burnt with great fury for several hours, before it was extinguished; we could observe the enemy very industrious in fortifying their posts, having intrenchments and redoubts cut across the country, and at Beauport have a pass guarded by 20 pieces of cannon. At the mouth of the river St. Charles they have two hulks, with a teer of guns each, to defend that passage up the river, besides being commanded by great part of the cannon from the town. Our firing continues to do great execution upon the town; in the night the _Sutherland_, _Squirrel_, two transports, and two sloops, having 500 men from the camp at Point Levi, ran past the town, with a light breeze, favourable, and tide of flood. The enemy kept a hot fire at them, but did no damage: the _Diana_ going up ran a-ground upon Point Levi. 20th, General Wolf and Admiral Holmes went up by land to the fleet above the town.
