Information having been brought to Boston that & considerable quantity of military stores were deposited at Concord—a town which, as we have already had occasion to mention, was about twenty miles from boston—General Gage, on ihe night between the 18th and lvth of April, de- tached the grenadiers and light infantry of his army, under the command of Lieutenant Colonei Smith, of the Tenth regiment of foot, and Major Pitcairn, of the marines, with oraers to proceed to Concord and destroy those stores, and the fol- lowing morning another detachment, consisting of sixteen companies of foot, with some marines, Was ordered to march under the command of Earl Percy, to sustain the first. The aecachment nnder Lieutenant Coionel Smith, having em- barkea in boats, was conveyed up Charles River as far as a place called Pnipps’ Farm. Being landed | there In the night, the troops proceeded on their | ca to Concord, every precaution being taken by securing snch persons as they met with, to prevent people of the country from obtaining any intelli. gence of their march. But notwithstanding this precaution they had advanced onlya few miles when it was perceived, by the firing of guns and the ringing of bells, that the country was alarmed, Upon this discovery Licutenant Colonei smith detached six companies of light infantry to march on in all haste and secure two bridges on differeut roads jeading from voucerd, sad on the other side of it. These companies reached Lex- ington, a town filteen miies from Boston, about five in the moroing. and tney advanced saw a body of men assembled, adjoining to the road, Upon the near approach of the British troops, Who questioned them as to the cause of their being so assembled and ordered them to disperse, they retired in some consusion, But as they Went off several guns were fired upon the King’s troops from behind @ stone wall and from some adjoining houses, which wounded one Man and shot Major Pitcairn’s horse im two places, fhe British troops now returned the fire, by which some of the people under arms were killed and others wounded, and toe ress dspersed, The light infantry Raving been delayed py this unexpected encounter, were now joined by the grenadiers, anda the Whole detachment marched on unmolested to voncord. Upon its approach to that place anotner body of armed men, or militia, Was seen assembied upon a luli, near the entrance of the town, ana the light infamtry were ordered to disperse them, while the grenadiers marched on hy the direct road to Con- cord. As the lignt infantry ascended the hill the militia retreated toward Concord and passed over one ot the bridges on the other side of 1b, which was tinmediately taken possession o1 by ihe light infantry, In tne meantime the grenadiers were executing the purpose of the expedition by de- stroying the military stores found at Concord. Woaile this was doing the militia who nad retreated over the bridge appeared again to the namber of 300 oF 400, and, advancing up to It as I they meant to pass, were fired upon by the British troops. The fire was returned, and a sharp contest ensued acrovs the river, in Which several on both sides were killed and wounded. But the purpose of we expedition being now accompished, the light iniauntry posted at the bridge received orders to retire, and the whole detachment now began their march back to Boston, The whole country was by this time alarmed. The minute men, Volunteers and militia sembied from all quarters, and posted themseive: under arms, on a green | mong the trees, IM houses and behind the walls jong the road through which the British troops re to pass, While the militia, wo had been d at the bridge, remforcead with others hourly com! in from the country, were ready to press upon their rear.

As soun a8 they began their retreat an incessant, though irregular fire commenced, which was Kept up during the Whole of their march pack to Lex- ington, to which they were driven before the Ameri- cans like sheep. At that piace they were met by the detachment under Lord Perey, two pieces ol canon. The two detachments rested on their arins, and received some refreshment.

As this no- bleman was passing irom the Generai’s quarters home to his own, perceiving eight or ten men conversing together on the Common, he made up to them, when one of the men said: “The British troops have marche Will miss their aim.’ “What aim?" said Lord Percy. oon’ she man replied, “tne cannon at Con- Lord Percy immediately returnea on bis steps and acquainted General Gage, not witnout marks of surprise and disapprobation. of what he nad just heard. ‘The Generai said that bis confidence bed been, betrayed, for that’he bad commu. | ¢ his design t0 one person only pestd | Lordship. : doagum ass t As soon as the two detachments, after their | junction, resumed their march, they were again annoyed by the provinciais, pos as_beiore, who kept up @ continaal firing until che British troops reached Boston, about sun- set, quite spent and worn down with satigue;: | The detachments together amounteé to some. | What more than 1.800 men, and-the whole loss sus. tained during the long and harassing march on | the part of the British was 46 killed, 136 wounded | and 49 missing.
