[20] _Col. Proctor who now commanded at Amherstburg or Malden detached the Indians under Tecumseh across the Detroit River to intercept a convoy that Major VanHorne and a force of Americans had been sent to safely conduct within the American lines._ [21] _On this day the Indians under Tecumseh badly defeated Major VanHorne's force of Americans near Brownstown and the latter retreated in great disorder. The mail fell into the hands of the British and revealed the mutinous spirit in Hull's army. In this engagement seventeen of the Americans were killed and eight wounded._ [22] _Reinforcements of the 41st Regt. under Lt. Bullock._ [23] _The battle of Maguaga where Col. Miller in command of a force of Americans defeated the British and Indians and drove them to their boats whence they returned to Malden.

The losses and casualties on the American side were very heavy._ [26] _Gen. Brock joined Col. Proctor at Malden (Amherstburg) on the night of the 13th with three hundred militia and a few regulars._ [27] _Gen. Brock marched that day with the forces under his command and took possession of Sandwich which had been abandoned by the Americans._ [28] _About 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 15th, a general cannonading began between the British at Sandwich and the Americans at Detroit. Considerable damage was done by the British artillery and several American officers were killed. Two guns on the British side were silenced by the American artillerists._ [29] _During the night the British forces crossed to the Detroit side of the river and prepared for an assault on the town. The guns at Sandwich opening a heavy cannonading and their range was so accurate that many Americans were slain. Dr. Reynolds who it is supposed accompanied Hull's invalids from the Maumee to Detroit was instantly killed. Gen. Hull early decided to capitulate._ [30] _By the terms of the surrender the American Militia were paroled and allowed to return to their homes, but the regulars were declared to be prisoners of war and were sent on board the prison ships._ [31] _Mostly the 4th Regt. of Regulars._ [32] _The Queen Charlotte and Hunter were also detailed to convey some of the prisoners of war including Gen. Hull and other officers, to Fort Erie opposite Buffalo._ [33] _The writer evidently means Fort Erie at the entrance to the Niagara River._ [34] _Fort George directly opposite Fort Niagara which was on American territory and garrisoned by American troops._ [35] _The British escort from Kingston was commanded by Major Heathcote of the Nova Scotia Regt._
