War of 1812 Timeline-- July 1813: Part 1

From the War of 1812 Timeline, Historic Places site, Canada.  Probably your best timeline for the war.  There are a couple Wikipedia ones as well.

During the month:

American privateers described as being very numerous and active in Canada's Bay of Fundy and New Brunswick.  Six Royal Navy ships sent from Halifax, Nova Scotia to deal with them.

Commander Barclay's British Squadron, sailing from Amherstburg, Upper Canada, on Lake Erie gathering information on U.S. Navy vessels being built at Erie, Pennsylvania.

JULY 3RD-  Wikipedia--  Capture of U.S. sloops Growler and Eagle near Ile aux Noril.

JULY 5TH--  Raid on Fort Schlosser, NY, by Canadian militia.  Capture military stores at the southern terminus of American portage route around Niagara Falls.
