Dispatches, of which the following are a Copy and Extract, have been this thy received by Earl BA THURST from Lieutenant General S;r GEMGE PILE- VoST, Bart. licaJ-cparters, 1 !Acatlie, March 31. Mr Loan—l had scarcely closed the Session of the Provincial Legislature, when info:lllation arrived, of the enemy having concentrated a considerable force at Plattsbutg, for the invasion of Lower Canada. Major General Wilkinson advanced on the 19th inst. to CI lazy, and detached Brigadier . General *Comb with► a corps of tillenien and a brigade of infantry in sleighs, across the ice to Isle La Motile, and from thence to Swanton, in the State of Vermont. On the 22d, this corps crossed the line of separation between the United States and Lower Canada, and took possession of Philipsburg, in the seigniory of St. At mand, and on the 2:id several guns followed, and a judicious position was selected and occupied. yen!: demonstrations of an intention to catablish themselves there in force. Having previously assembled, at St. John's and in its vicinity, the Pith and 49th regiments, and the Canadian voltigeurs, with a sufficient field train, and one troop of the 19th Light Dragoons, I placed the whole under the command of Colonel Sir S. Beck with, and ordered him to advance to dislodge the enemy, should circumstances not disclose this move ment to be a feint made to cover •other operations.— On this I left Quebec. On my route 1 received a re port from Major General De Rottenburg, of the enemy having retired precipitately from Philipsburg on the 2(it! , , and again crossed Lake Champlain, for the purpose of joining the main body of the AMeri- Canarmy near Cli.implain Town. On the 30th the enemy's light trerps ente•ed Odell Town, followed by three brigades or infaia:re, com manded by Brigadier Generals Smith, Bisseit, and M , Comb, and composed of the 4th, Gth, 10th, 13th, 14th, 20th, 23d, 25th, 29th, 30th, and 34th regiments, a squadron of cavalry, and one 18, three 12. and four 6-pounders, drove in our piquets on the I. ad leading from Odell Town to Burton Ville, and commenced an attack on the latter posit►on, but were so well re ceived by the light troops, supported by the grenadiers of the Canadian Fencibles, that it was not persevered in, and the brigades in adv.,nce were d►rec:ed upon the post It La Cole, entrusted to Major Handcock, of the 13th regiment, whose able conduct on this oc casion your Lordship will find detailed in the accom panying report front Lieutenant Colonel Williams of the 13th, who had the charge of the advanced posts on the Richelieu. In consequence of the sudion rise cf water in every direction, from the mwlting of Cie snow and ice, it was with extreme difficulty the enemy withdrew their cannon, and it is now almost impossible for either patty to make a movement. Th e tenors brought forward to support those at Burton Ville and the mill at La Cole, were obliged to wade through mud and water up to their 'v tur many miles, helore they could attain the points they were directed to occupy. The Indian warriors alone were able to bang 00 the euemy's rear, whilst retreat ing to Champlain Town. I have ascertained theloss of the American army to have exceeded threZ hundred men in killed and woun ded ; it is also stated, that many of their ..fitters suf fered on this occasion. I have the honour to to, &c. (Signed) GEuttC C PREVCST. Ls -Cole, March 31. . Sitt—l beg leave to acqqaint you, that I have just received from M.ijor Handcock, of the 13th regiment, coal:mowing at the block-house ou La Cole River, a repeal, stating that the out-posts on the roads from r Burton Ville and La Cole Mill, leading from Odell T o wn, were attacked at an early hour yesterday mor ning by. the enemy in great force, collected from Plattsburg and Burlington, under the command of Major General Wilkinson. The attack on the Bur ton Vile Road was soon over, when the enemy stewed themselves on the road from the mill, that leads di. rect to Odell Town, where they drove in a picquet sta ti on ed in advance of La Cole, about a mile and a half distant ; and soon after the enemy established a of three guns (12-pounder s ) i n t h e woo d.— battery u,th this artillery they began to fire on the mill, when Major Handcock, hearing of the arrival of the flank companies of the 13th regiment at the block-house, ordered an attack on the guns, which, however, was not successful, from the wood being so thick and so filled with men. Soon after, another opportunity pre.- seated itself, when the Canadian grenadier company, Ithjor Handcook feels exceedingly indebted to Cap tain Pring, Royal Navy, for his ready and prompt assistance isimoving up the sloop and gun-boats from Isle Aux Noir, to the entrance of the La Cole river, the fire horn which was so destructive. Lieutenants Creswick and Hicks. of the Royal Navy, were most actively zealous in forwarding the stores, and land• ing two guns from th e b oats an d gett i ng t h em up to the Mill. To Major H4ndcock the greatest praise is dne for hii most gallant defence of the Mill asainst such su perior numbers, and I earnestly trust it will meet the approbation of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces. I have the honour to transmit a hit of the killed and wounded of al.! British; that of theenemy, from all accounts 1 can collect from the inhabitants, must have been Car greater. 1 Lave the honour to be, &c. W. ‘VILLIAMS, Lt.-Col- 1311, reg.

The ships Liy to within long grin-shot of the battery ; and the gun boats,' under Captain Cclier, weie sent close in for the pur pose of inducing the enemy to shew his fire, and par. ticulaily the number and position of his guns ; this str vice was performed in a most gallant manner, the boats taking a position within point blank shot of the fort, which returned the fire from four guns, one of them heavy. The enemy did not appear to have any guns mounted on the town side of the River. Having sufficiently reconnoitred the place, arrange ments were made for its attack, which, it was de cided should take place at eight o'clock that evening ; but ft sun-set a very heavy squall blowing directly on the shore, obliged the squidron to get tinder weigh, and prevented our return until next morning ; whut the following disposition was made of the troops and squadron by Commodore Sir J. Yen and myself. The Princtss Charlotte, Wolk, and Royal George to etige%e the batteries, as close as the depth of water would admit of their approaching the shore; the Sir Sidney Smith Schooner to scour the town, and keep in check a large body of Militia who might attempt to pass over into the !ort ; the Moira and Melville brigs to tow the boats with the troops, and then cover their landing by scourin g the svuocLi on the low point towards the foot el the hill, by which it was intended to advance to the assault of the fort. Captain O'Connor had the direction of t! le boats land gun-boats destined to land the troops, which con sis.ed of the flank companies of Dc 'Vt'acteville's regi ment, the company of the Glengarry light inflintry, and the `LI battalion of the Royal Marines, being all that could be landed at one embarkation. The four battalion companies of the regiment of Watteville, and the detachment of artillery remaining in reserve on board the P:incess Charlotte and Sir Sidney Smith schooner. As soon as every thing was re,:dy, the ships opened their fire, and the boats pushcd fur the point of dis embarkation, in the most regular order. The land ing was effected under a heavy fire from the fort, as well as from a considerable body of the enemy drawn up un the brow of the hill and in the woods. The immediate command cf the troops was entrusted to Lieutenant-colonel Fischer, of the regiment De Watteville, of whose gallant, cool and judicious con duct, as well as of the distinguished bravery, steadi ness and discipline of every officer and soldier com posing this small force, I was a witness, having, wi:h Commodore Sir James Yeo, the Deputy Adjutant- General, and the officers of my Staff, landed with the troops. I refer your Excellency to Lieutenant-Co lonel Fischer's letter, inclose d, for an account of the operations. The place was gained in ten ntinates from the moment the troops advanced. The fort being every where almost open, the %%hole of the gar riaon,conaisting of the third battalion of artillery, about 400 s . rotig, and a. me hunde d militia , effected their escape, with the exeeption of about 60 men, half of them severely wounded I inclose a retie n of our loss, amongst which thaw, to regret that of C-ptain liolteway, of the Royal Marines. Your Excellency will lament to observe in the list the name of that gallant, judit ious, and excel lent officer, Capta Mulcarer, of the Royal Navy. who landed at the head of 200 volunteers, geuners from the fleet, and received a severe and dangerous wound, when within a few yards of the guns, which he was advancing to storm, whi h I fear will deprive the squadron of his valuable assistance for some time at. least. In noticing theco-operation of the uaval branch of the service, I the highest satisfaction In assuring your Excellency that I have, thr ughout this, as well as on every other o:casion, experienced the toast iteis hies, cot dial, and able support from Sr James Y:o. It will be f r him to do justice to the met its of those under his commani ; but I may ne-ertheless be pet.. mitted to eh;crve , Mat nothing could - exceed the cool ness and gallantry in action, or the unwe tried exer tions on shore, of the Captains, officers, and cret7s of the whole squadron. I en,-lese a meteoraedum of the captured articles that have been brought away, In which your Excel lency will perceive with satisfaction seven heavy guns that were intended far the enemy's new ship. fbree 3'2-pounders were sunk by the en. my in the river, as well as a large quantity of cordage, and other naval steres. The less to them, therefore, has been very great; and i am sanguine in believing that, by this blow, they have been deprived of the means of corn ple.ing_t he armament, and particularly the equip.. ment of the large man of war —an object of the great est importance. Ese ry object of the cape& ioa having been effect ed, and the captured se res embarked, the troops re turned, in the most perfect order, on board their re spe :tive ships at four o'clock tit's :earning, when the squadron immediately s tiled, the barracks in the town as well as those in the fort, having been previously burnt, tog ether with th e pl at f orms , b r id ge. &c. and .he works in every other respect dismantled and des ' strayed, as far as practicable. I cannot ease his disp itch without offering to your Ex, ellency's ne ice, the admi able and judi cious manner in which Lieutenant-Colonel Fischer formed the troops, and led them to the attack, the cool and gallant conduct of Lieu extant Colonel Mal colm, at the head of the 2i battalion of Ro) 1 Ma. lines ; the intrepidi y of Captain De 13ersey, (1 the regiment of De Watreville, wha commanded the ad vattce the act, and energy of Lieutenant Culnael Pear;on, luspe,:tii:g Field Offiter, who, with Major Sm.

'lO Lieutenant-Colonel Harvey, Deputy Adjutant General, my warmest approbation is most justly due, for his unremitting zeal and useful assistance ;—the services of this intelligent and experienced Officer have been so frequently brought under your Excel lency'. observation before, that it would be superflu ous niy making any comment on the high estimation in which I hold his valuable exertions.
