Montreal, August 14,1812. g r LoßD—t have the honour to transmit here with, for your Lordship's information, the copy of a neo n which has been forwarded to me by Major- G e neral Brock, of the surrender, by capitulation, of t he American post of Michilimackinac to a detach. anent of Ws Majesty's troops from St. Joseph's, under the command of Captain Roberts, of the 10th Royal Veteran Battalion. This report is accompanied by a return of prisoners taken, and of the stores which were found in the fort. In addition to these, I have a further report of the crews of two vessels, to the number off' 43, who were In the fort, having fallen into our hands together with 700 packs of furs. My dispatch, No. 59, will have acquainted your lordship of a large detachment from the American Army hiving taken possession of Sandwich on the nth Brtgadier-General Hull, I find, commenced' his *rations against Amhersberg a few days after; and the detachment of the 41st regiment have beha teed with great gallantry in repelling, three attempts bade by the Americans to approach the fort by the titer Canard. These successes, with the diversion on the flank of the enemy by the possession of Michilimackinac on ultimo, may be attended with consequences favourable to the security of Upper Canada.

I received letters by express from Major-General Brock, with orders to adopt the most prudent measures either for offence or defence, which Circumstances might point out ; and having received intelligence from the best information, that large re inforcements were daily expected to be throw n into this garrison, with the thorough conviction that my situation at St. Joseph's was totally indefensible, I determined to lose no time in making the meditated attack on this fort. On the 16th, at ten o'clock in the morning, I em- barked my few men, with about 180 Canadians, and two iron six-pounders. The boats arrived without the smallest accident at the place of rendezvous stthree o'clock the following morning ; by the exer tims of the Canadians, one of the guns was brought by a height commanding the garrison, and ready to' act about ten o'clock. A summons was then sent in ; a copy of the capitulation which followed, I have the honour to enclose. At twelve o'clock the American colours were hauled down, and those of his . 'esty were hoisted. A committee has been op i" .16 - examine into the state of the public stores. oclosed also are the returns of the ordnance and thilitaty stores found in the fort, and the strength of the garrison. The greatest praise is due to every individual em ployed as this expedition ; to my own officers I am indebted, in particular, for their yctive assistance in tarrying all my orders into effect. • I have the honour to be, &c.

General Sir George Pre vest, to Earl Bathtirst, dated Montreal, 17th August. • I have the honour to inform your Lordship, that an invasion of Upper Canada took place on the I2th July last; the enemy having on that day crossed the river Detroit with a force, composed of regular troops and militia, together with 4.0 or 50 cavalry, kinounting In the whole to about 2300 men, under the command of Brigadier-General Hull, and took post at Sandwich. The militia in the neighbourhood not being able t o Oppose any effectual resistance, retreated upon their approach towards Fort Amheistsburg, about tat elve miles distant. Part of the enemy's force hay.. tag since advanced to within six miles of that fort, severa skirmishes have taken place betvieen them and the troops of the garrison, which have constancy terminated in favour of the latter, with the loss of several men on tita part of the enemy, and of only one soldier of the 41st killed, and another wounded, and a similar loss on the part of the Indians ; - and, 1 am happy to s h y, t h at on t h ese occas i ons , hi s giajesty' s 41st regiment in a particular manner dis enguished themselves. • ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, SEPT. tsg.

And also a letter. from Captain Hamilton, of his Majesty's ship Termagant, stating the capture of l'lntrepide, a French privateer, of. three guns and forty men, on the 22d of July, off Malaga, by the boats of the Termagant, under the directions of Lieutenant Moorman.

The following communications from Constantino ple, with which we were favoured this morning, give the direct lie to all the falsehoods as to the relative situations of Russia and Turkey, which we have no. ticed in the Continental JournAls 3 -- " CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 11. " Mr. Liston and suite arrived here on the 28th of June, and the Russian Ambassador, M. Italinski, the clay after, so that no farther doubts can exist of the peace between Russia and Turkey, which we have so long anxiously expected : the ratification is hourly expected from St. Petersburgb. In the mean time M. Italinski resides at his Palace at Buyukdere : the Porte has fitted up Mr. Dolinda's house in Pera, for his town residence. The best possible understanding exists between the two Missions. Until the ratifica tion arrives, peace will not be proclaimed here, nor will the trade to the Russian ports in the Black Sea be declared free and uninterrupted. " Mr. Liston has declared bis intention of earnestly demanding permission for the exportation of corn, and I should hope he will soon obtain it. " JULY 13.—1 am sorry to Inform you that a malig nant fever has broken out here within these few days, which has caused considerable alarm ; a short time will determine whether it Is the plague or no. Me dical men say not. .1 trust we shall escape the rava ges of such a dreadful disease." " JULY 14.—1 hear less of the plague or fever to day than yesterday, and I trust it will be found a false alarm." "JULY 15.--We hear of no more accidents by the fever to-day, the4efore I trust it is all over. Vessels with Russian colours are loading at Odissa for this place." 4 , JULY 16.—N0 accidents of the fever having hap pened yesterday or to-day, I trust we have now no thing to fear." While we were yesterday holding up to the admi ration of our Countrymen, the glowing ardour of the Spanish Nation, as manifested since the victory of Salamanca, little did we think that the conduct of the inhabitants of Cadiz, at the same moment,' would have furnished us with a theme for censure or execration. Who, but the,torpid inhabitants of this wretched town, would not have rushed forth upon their invaders, the instant they sounded their retreat, and accelerated that destruction which, we trust, awaits their crimes. Hopeless, indeed, would be the cause of Spain, if her Sons in general resembled the pettifogging traders of Cadiz. With what deligpt and enthusiasm would a virtuous population have sallied from their gates, after their deliverance from their oppressors, and, after pointing with triumph to their deserted positions, pursued them in their flight Ergo omnis Longo solvit se Teucria luctu Pandvntur ports, juvat ire, et Dories casts, Desertosque videre locos, littusque relictum. Hic Dolopum Manus, hic szvus temiebat Classibus hie locus: Mc acio certare sciebant. Unhappily, we have no such exultation to record as applicable to the Citizens of Cadiz ! All the com munications from that quarter speak only of the effects to be expected upon trade and commerce from the departure of the French. Had not the safety of this place been connected with the general cause, we would have no reason for chagrin if SOULT had car ried it upon his back, with its Corte.; and its Juntas, and laid it at the feet of his Master in Russia. SOULT appears to have retired with such haste as to have left a portion of his magazines behind him in many places ; and this his speed was even accelerated at Antequera, by an attack of General BALLASTERO6 upon his rear-guard, about 10,000 strong, according to the report, by which he lost some ptisoners, and two pieces of rannon. • There was a report prevalent, that General Hrtz had advanced to Cordova. This, if an eiror; as strongly suspected, is one wills infects the letters as well as the Papers from Catt4s JOSEPH BONAPARTE had actually joined SHOW. and SOULT was in Granada. These three armies would, it is said, amount to 70,000 men and upwards. The principal of an American House at Cadiz, of the name of MEADE, has been arrested, by order of the Government ; on what account it did not clearly appear. The House ) however, carried on the. first business at Cadlk during the War ; and was under , stood to have been active in supplying the French troops In the neighbourhood with flour and other pro. • visions. The enemy Left behind them, in the lines it Cadiz, full 500 pieces of cannon. The ship of war the Mino, from Vera Cruz to - Cadiz, had been spoken with off the Western Isles ; having on board, for the merchants, about two mil lions of dollars ; and 300,000 for Government. The communication between Vera Cruz and Mexico had been interrupted for about three months, but on the departure of the Mino, the insurgents had, it is said, been suppressed. The Commission appointed by the Cortes to exa mine the conduct of the Civil Authorities in those districts lately liberated from the enemy, has pro• pcsed a decree to the following I. fleet :—" That all persons appointed by the intrusive Government to any office shall be declared incapable of holding at#y employment in futUre, besides being called to ac count for their past conduct ; but that if any of the said Functionaries shall have performed important services to the country, then the Regency shall ac quaint the Cortes therewith, that tele same may be L Itaaeninto consideration." The above resolution met the approbation of the Cortes. Yesterday, at three o'clock, the PRINCE RECENT beld a Privy Council, at Carlton-House, for the Dis solution of Parliament, which was attended by the. LORD CHANCELLOR, ERAS WESTMORELAND, LLYIIR. POOL, BATHURST, and CLANCARTY, Viscounts Mex.- VILLE, SIDMOUTH, and CASTLEREAGH, Messrs. VAN• !NITTA RT, Hon. F. ROBINSON, and C. BATHURST.— His Royal Highness was graciously pleased to ap point the Hon. F. ROBINSON, Treasurer of the Navy, and the Earl of CLANcmtry, Master of the Mint.— After the Council, his Royal Highness gave au diences to the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of LIVER ,POOL, and Viscount CASTLEREAGH. Yesterday Lord MELviu-st held a Levee at the Admiralty,,which was . attended by Lord RA.mrocx, Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, and a number of Naval Officers. Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES went this morn ing to Whitehall Chapel, to see the French 11,igles deposited : one Eagle taken out of a river in N".:rtu gal two ditto, taken at the battle of Salamanca ; two ditto, found at Madrid ; together with ten Co lours, taken at various times. The Gazelle of last night contains the Proclama.l I tion of the PRINCE REGENT fur the dissolution of Par liament. The writs, it will be seen, are returnable on the 24th.of November. S. E. BRYDGES, Esq. of Lee Priory, has addressed a letter to the Freemen of Canterbury, intimating that he cannot lose the opportunity, should a fair opening occur, to offer them his services, as a Repre sentative for their ancient City. Mr. BANKES has announced his intention of again offering himself for the County of Dorset. Mr. Jenxisson and Mt. Jacicson are actively can vassing the town of Dover.

He starts upon purely independent principles. Lord STANLEY starts for Lancashire, in tte room of Colonel STANLEY, who retires, on account of the precarious state of his heal6r. - Mr. DAVIES GIDDY, as Agent for &ord DE Dux irrANviLLE, has canvassed Penryn, on his Lordship's interest; for Mr. GELL and Mr. HOBART, son of Lord BOCKINGIIAMSHIRE. Mr. Swatt4N has been down some time among his friends in the same Borough ; and Sir CHRISTOPHER HAWKINS also hopes to keep his ground there. • Mr. CHAMBERLAYNE (of Weston Grove), Mr. ATHERLY, and Mr.JacKsox, have commenced a very active canvass. Colonel CRESPIONY has declined.— It is expected the Election will be closely contested, as their interests lie in separate direct ons. Mr. Rosn is not yet arrived at Southampton :—his ab sence is occasioned by a hurt which he receivnd his leg, in a copse at Christchurch. It is expected that the Election for the Borough of Maldon will be sharply contested, as Mr. WESTERN has withdrawn himself therefrom to stand for the County. The Electors of that Borough have been requested to hold themselves disengaged. In presenting the public with the subjoined Procla mation for a New Parliament, issued in the Reign of `King JAMES I. we know we shall do them a service. It was in all probability the composition of the great Lord. Chancellor BACON, who was, in his writings at least, rn oracle of wisdom and learning : " Because the true and ancient institution of Parliament, do require the lower House, at this time, If ever, to be compounded of the gravest, ablest, and worthiest Members that may be found: we do hereby, out of the care of the common good, wherein themselves are participant, without all prejudice to the freedom of Elections, admonish all our loving subjects, that have votes in the election of Knights and Burgesses, of these sew points following : That they cast their eyes upon the worthiest men of an sorts, Knights and Gentlemen, that are lights and guides In their 'smuntries, experienced Parliament-men, wise and discreet States men, that have been practised io public affairs, whether at home or abroad, grave and eminent lawyers, substantial ci urns and burgesses, and generally such as are interested and have portion in the estate." Secondly, That they make choice of such as are well affected is religion, without declining either on the one hand to blindness and superstition or on the (*herb and to schism or turbulent dis position." " Thirdly, and lastly, That they be truly sensible, not to dis value or disparage the house with bankrupts and necessitous per sons, that may desire long Parliaments only for protection ; law yers of mean account and estimation ; young men that are not rape grave consultations; mean dependants upon goat persons, that they may bit thought to have their voices under command; and such like obscure and inferior persons • so that to conclude, gre may have the comfort to see before us th e very face of a 'Wl dent and well-composed house, such as may be worthy to be a representative of a third estate of our kingdom, fit to nourish a loving and comfortable meeting between us an d our ronoria, sad in to be a noble instrument under the blessing of ALINIGITT GOD, and our princely care and power, and with the loving con. junction of our Prelates and Peers, for the settling to grearaffaire The followirt is an extract of a letter from a Gen tleman, dated September 16, at Sea, in long. 20.' lat. 49, said to have been received yesterday : .

The Marquis of WELLthavos himself is accom panied by the Ist, sth, and 6th Divisions of his army; and the remainder, the Sd, 4th, and Light Divisions, are stationed at Madrid.
