After the smoke of battle had wafted away from the streets of Fort Erie, and the dead and wounded removed, Gen.

Here they went into camp, and began to make preparations for defence, as they fully expected to be attacked early next morning by Col.

Peacocke's column and other forces who were advancing from the interior.
