[29] Colonel Williams, the chief of the corps of
Engineers, resigned his commission in 1812, for the
reason that he was denied a command in the line of
the army, which he solicited.
[30] The post was attacked in May, 1813, (see Memoir
of General Brown, _ante_,) but not until after the
withdrawal of the troops for the expedition against
York and Fort George.
