Captain hutvotsz, Aid-de-Cemp to Lieutenant- General Deuremoen, arrived this morning with a, Dispatch from Lieutenant General Sir GEORGE PRE- 1 YOST, Bart. addressed to Earl BATHURST, of which the follow ing is an extract : Head Quarters, Montreal, August S. I have s the satisfaction • of trensmitting to your , Lordship, Lieutenant General Drummond's (knell of the distinguished exertions of that division of the army. near the falls of Niagara, on the 25th of last month, when the skill of his Majesty's Generals, and . the valour and discipline of his troops, were eminently conspicuous ; and I beg leave to join the Lieutenant . Ceeeral, in humbly soliciting his Royal Highness the Prince Regent's gracious consideration, of the meri torious services of the Office's particularized in his Report. • This dispatch will be delivered to your Lordship by Captain Jervoise, Aid-de-Camp to Lieutenant Ge ller il Dr tremoretl ; having shared in the events of the'tr.th, he can satisfy your Lordship's inquiries re specting them, and is well calculated, from his local knoe ledge, to give your Lordship full information upon the state of Cie Upper Province. • Head Quarters, Upper Canada, near Niagara July C 7. • Slit —I embarked on board his Majesty's schooner Netley, at York, on Sunday evening, the 21th inct. and reached Niagara at daybreak the followini mor ning. Finding, from Lieutenant Colonel Tinker, that Mejor General Rill' was understood to be moving tow trds the Falls of Niagara tie supper! the ;advance cf his division, which he had pushed On'to thae-gaci n the receding evening, I ordered Liersteminn eftlo- nel Morris nn; with the 89th regiment,'ind a detect'. • melt of the Royals and King's, drawn tenni Fort .G6erge, and Misslieega, to proceed to die same point, in order that, wall the united force, I mien act against the enemy (posted at Street's Creek, ivith his advance at Chippewa) on my arrival, if it should be found expedient. ordered Lieutenant Ceionel • st tieker, at the-same time to pi oceed upthe right bank of the river with three hundred of the 444 and aboet two' hundred of the Royal Scuts, and a body of In -dian WairterS supported (on the river) by a party of .armed seamen, under Captain Dobbs, Royal Navy. .The object of this-movement was to disperse - or cap ture a 'bddy of the enemy which was encamped at j,,esvieton, . Some unavoidable delay having occurred ilex the March of the troops up the right bank, the . -enemy-bed moves, off previous to Lieutenant Colonel 'Tucker's arrival. I have to express myself satisfied with the exertions of that officer. • Having refreshed the troops. at Queenston, and inviter ' bi ought across the 41st, Royals, and. 'lndians, • ') sent bock the filet and 100th regiments to firm the'. ,garrisons of the Farts George, Mississaga e and Nia e .Sara, under Lieutenant Colonel Tacker, and moved, ,with the 89th, and detacimieuts of the Royale and King's, and light company of the list, in all abort 'eight kindred men, to join Major General . Rieire di . 1.116111 a; the Falls. When arrived within a few' miles of that position, 1 wiet a 'report from Major General that the enemy was advancing in great force. I immediately palied on, and joined the head of Lieutenant Colo eiel Morrison's colunin, just as it reached the Mad leading towards the Beaver Dam, over thestiinmit cE 'the hill at Lundy's Lane. Incead of the whiibt of Mejer General Riali's division, which I exitteted to leave found occupying .this position, I found it almost in the occupation of tie enemy, whoee columns were within 600 yards of the top of the hill, and the. sur rounding woods tilled wiili his Light troops. The advance of Major General Riell's division, consisting of the Glengarry tight Infantry and Incorporated Militia, having commenced thew retreat upon Fort George, I countermanded these corps, and. formed the 89th regiment and the Royal Scots detachments! and 41st ligot companies in the rear of the hill, their left resting on the great . read ; my two 24-poinider krees Bald guns a little adeeeced in flout of the centre oei the summit oft he hid ; the Glengarry Light In (entry en the right, the battalion of rator i 'orateciVi, eit, a , and the detachment atilt Ku g's Reeimeut os the left of the great road the squadron 194. Light progeoos in the rear of the left on the rc,ad. I bad ticarce)y completed this formation vi hen the .wleole . (tOnt was'warmly and closely engaged. The..enepe e y'e principal tfroris . were directed against cur left and centre. After repeated attacks, the troops ore the left were partially forced heck, and the,enemy gained a - momentary poeseesion of the road, This gave him, however, no iftiterialndvantage, as the troops which 1144 been forced *back formed" in the - reaeOf the 89d;' reeimente fronting the rpad, and securing the flank., le-I , wet, doring t ins !hop interval that Major-Gene-' r'l ltisil,`l:,r,ng received a Severe . jicklind 4 le4s t.e,re . .ekt4 at he was poesile. to the rear, by a Pail /di the enemy's eavalry, and made prisoner. In the cen tre-the repeated and determined attacks Of the enemy were met by the 89th regiment, the detachments of the Royals, and King's, and the light company 41st regiment, with the most perfect steadiness and hue!. pid gallantry, and the enemy was constantly repulsed with very heavy loss. Of so determined a manner weretlits attacks directed against our guns, that our artillerymen were bayonetted by the enemy in the act of loading , and the muzzles of the enemy's guns were advanced within a few yards of ours. The darkness of the night during this extraordinary conflict occasioned several uncommon incidents; our troops having for a moment been pushed back, some of our guns remained for a few minutes in the enemy's hands—they were, however, not only quickly re covered, but the two pieces, a 6-pounder and a..5i I inch howitzer, which the enemy had brought up, were captured by us, together with several tumbrils, and is limbe; nig up our guns at one period, one of the enemy's 6-pounders was put, by mistake, upon a Lniber of ours, and one of cur 6-pounders limbered. on one of his; by which means the pieces were ex— changed, and thus, though we captured two of his. guns, yet, as he obtained one of ours, we have gained only one, gun. About nine o'clock (the nylon having commenced at six) there was a short intermission of firing„ during '.which it appears the enemy was employed in bringing ' 1 up the whole of his remaining force, and he shortly afterwards renewed his attack with fresh troops, but was every whe:e repulsel with equal gallantry and: SUCCESS. About this period the remainder of Major.: General ltiall's division, which had been ordated to retire on the adeance of the enemy, consisting of the 108 d regiment under Colonel Scott; the head-quar ter division of the Royal Scots ; the headluatter vision of the Bth Or King's; flank companies 104th. Sonie detachments of militia under Lieutenant Cole. nel Hamilton, Inspecting Field ()lacer, joined the troops engaged, and I placed them in a second line, with the exception of the Royal Scots, and flank com panies 104th, with which 1 prolonged my frontline on the right, where I was apprehensive of the enemy's outflanking me. The enemy's efforts to carry the hill were conti. nued until about midnight, whets he had suffered so severely from the supesor steadiness and discipline of his Majesty's troops, that he gave up the contest and retreated with great precipitation to his camp, beyond the Chippawa. On the following day he abandoned his camp, threw the greatest part of his baggage, camp equipage, and provisions, into the Rapids ; and having set fire to Street's Mills and destroyed the bridge at Chippawa, continued his retreat in great disorder towards Fort Erie. 'My troops, cavalry .and Indians,• are. detached in pursuit, and to harasS his retreat, which I doubt not he will continue until he reach,:s his own share. The less sustainc , d by the enemy in this severe ac tion, cannot be estituated at less than fifteen hundred men, including several hundreds of pris•mers' lett in our hands; his two commanding Generals Brown and Scott, are said Ole wounded; his whole force, which.has never been rated at less than five thousind, having been engaged. • ,Enclosed I have the honour to transmit a retina of our.loss, whichlas* been very ,considerable. The number of troops under my com mand' did not for the first three hours exceed sixteen hum r,:d men ; the' addition of the troops. under Co lonel cicott, did not h:crease it to more than two th.,u. sand eight hundred of every description. _ . _ . - A very di ffi cult, but at the same time i most gra tifying duty 'remains, that of endeavouring tcy do jus. tice to Are merits of the off = icers and soldiers by whose valour and discipline this important sticcas has- been pbtained. 1 was very early in tire action deprived of the Services of Major-General Riall, who, I regret to' ;earls, has sacred' the amputation of his arm* in the enemy's possession; his bravery, zeal and activity have alnaayl-been conspicuous. • To Lieutenant-Colonel Harvey a beputy Adjutant I General, I. am so deeply indebted . for his valuable assistance previous to, as well as hi. able and ener getic exertions during this severe contest, that I feel myself called upon to point your 'Excellency's atten tion to -.lie distinguished met its of this highly deur viif I ()Oka, whose smite* have been particularly coneys ctusus in every affair that has taken place since his arrival in this province. The zeal and intelligence displayed by Major Glegg. Assistant-Adjutrut-Ge- Aeral, deserve my wireirest 4probation. . I much regret the loss of - a very intelligent and promising young officer, Liniment Moorsom, 104th vethirent, ' I Yeput y 'Altai t a tit 'Adjutant-General, who was killed towards the close of the action. The ac tive exertions of Captain Elliot, Deputy As4stant -Q,tartcr-Master-Gentral, of whose. &identify and conduct I :lad occasion in' two former instances tv re:nark, were couspicu ,, us. Major •Maule and, Lieutenant La 'Breton, of the Quarter-Master.Gene-' ral's Department, were extremely useful to me; the latter was severely wounded.' • • : Amongst the officers from whose active exertions I derived the greatest assistance, I cannot omit.to mention my Aides.tle•Cang, Qiptaing Jervoise and Loring, and Captain Holland, Aide-de-Camp to Ma jor:.General Riall ; Captain Loring was unfortunately taken prisoner by some of the enemy's DragoOns, whilst in the execution of an order. In reviewing the action f r om it s c omme nc eme nt , l the first object which presents itself as deserving of l notice is the steadiness and good countenance ofthe squadron of the 19th Light D ragoons , un d er "Major Lisle, and the very creditable and excellent defence made by the incorporated militia battalion, under ideutert.. snt-Colonel Robinson, who was dangerously wounded, and• a detachment of the Bth (King's) re giment, 'under Colonel Campbell. :Major Kirby succeeded Li:Artenant-Colonel Ro binson in the command Of - the incorporated militia battalion, and conlinued - vertgallantly to direct its effort:..; this battalion ha onlpiseeis organiLed a few months, and, much to the credit of Captain Robin ion, of the King's Regiment (Provincial Lieutenant ' Colonel . ) his attained kt•hig . hiprespectible degree ef # discipline. In the reiterated and determined attacks which the enemy made on our centre, for the purpose of gain , ins at once the crest of the position and our guns, the steadiness' and intrepidity displayed by the troops al lotted for the defence of that post, were never sur passed: they consisted of the 2d bittalionof the h9th ..reginmt, commanded by Lieutenant-Coknel Mar !risers, and ether the Lieutenant - Colonel had been. • 'obliged to retire frotti*the geld by a severe wound, by Major Cl.fford ; a detachment of the Royal scots, under Lieutenint Hemphill, and after he was killed 'Lieutenant Fraser; detachment of the Bth orKing's, under Captain Campbell ; light company 4th regi ment, under Captain Glow, with some detachments of militia, under Lieutenant-Colonel Parry, 03d re giment ; these troops repeatedly, when bard pressed, formed round the colours of the 89th regiment, and invariably repulsed the desperate efforts made against them. ' On the right, the steadiness and good countenance of the Ist battalion Royal Scots, under Lieutenant- Celonel Gordon, in some very trying moments, ex cited my admiration. The King's Regiment (Ist battalion) under Major Evans, behaved with equal gallantry and firmness ; as did the light company of the Royals, detached under Captain Stewast ;*the grenadiers of the 103 d, detached under Captain Browne t and the flank companies of the fOith, un der Captain Leonard. The Glengarry light infantry, under Lieutenant- Colonel Battersby, displayed inns; valuable qualities as light troops • ,Colonel Scott, Major Smelt, and *the officers of th e 103 d, deserve credit for their exer tions in rallying that regiment, after it had been thrown into momentary disorder; Lieutenant-Colo. nel Pearson, Inspecting Field Otficer, directed the advance with great intelligence ; and i.ientenant-Co bnel Drunimnad, of the 10kli, baying gone forward with my permission early in the day, made himself actively useful in different parts of the field, under my direction.; these Officers Are entitled to my best thanks; as is Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton, Inspect ing Field Officer, .for his exertions after his arrival with the troops under Colonel Scott. The field artillery, so long as there was light, was well serreJ. The credit of its eliCient state is due to Captain Mackonachie, who has had charge of it since. his ar rival with this division. Captain bdaleaucblan, who has charge of the batteries at Fort Missassaga, volua terred his services in the field on this occasion; he WAS severely wounded. Lieutenant Tornkins de serves much credit for the way in which the two brass 21-pounders, of which he had charge, were served ; as does Serjeant Austin, of the rocket com pany, who directed the Cmgreve rockets, which did much execution. "The zeal, loyalty, and bravery a ith which the mi litia of this part of the province had ccme forward, to co-operate with his Majesty's troops - in the expul sion of the enemy, and their conspicuous gallantry in this and in the action of the sth instant, claim my warmest thanks. I cannot conclude this dispatch, without- recom mending, in the strongest-terms, the-following -off cers, nhose conduct durin thnlate operations has called for marked approbat ion; aisd , l alt) induced to hope that your Excellency will .ba:Ple4ied - to submit their names for promotion to the most favourable consideration of his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent, viz Captain Jervoise, my Aide-de-Camp ; Cap tain Robinson, Bth (King's) Regiment ( Provincial Lieutenant-Colonel) commanding the incorporated militia; Captain Eliot, Deputy Assistant-Quarter- Master-General; Captain Holland, Aide-de-Camp to Major-Gencral rash ; and Captain ('slew, 41st re giment. • Thi% dispatch will be delivered to you by Captain Jervoisc, my Aide-de-Camp, wha is Cully competent to give your Excellency every further information you may requite.-1 have the liouoar to be, &c. - (Signed) GORDON DRUMMOND, Lieut.-Gen.

In the Gazette de France there appears articles, front; time to time, conce ng the situation of Genoa. -It would be difficult to — divine from what sourcetle Ed;. tors are in the of deriving the intelligence which they think proper to punlish on this subject. It 1.,, however, either so exap-gar..tcd. or. at tiws sa evidently forged, that it is quite certaln thy/ r.,,it'fi N derive it from our Gazette, front their correiposulcem in Genoa, nor= from any other country of Italy. Thanks to the protection so generously granted hy the British Government to our n ivigation, there 7 .4 out in the Meditarrancan a c:)mniercial city which has sa speedily Mt the happy effects of the restoration of peace and maritime communie, Lions.

The Prcivisional Government of the Repirblic does not cost a fariliing to the St;;te ; it labouri incessantly in restoring the public adminiWation, and purtdes the strictest economy. - • The expenses are covered by the p:oduce o the ordinary taxes, aild nu sacrifices are imposed on the class of nurchants: aud yet it has been asserted that " the merchanti'find it impos. sible to bear the present expenses of government!" HAA4BURCH, SEPTEMBER 6. Ent. the lass three weeks a i:eai'deil'af frisiness has been done here in Dills of Exchange on F.n.;i.:t.d. The Jewish house of Hockschen aloft has it),,t biLis to the amount of £1,250,000 sterling. l'he cour4 of exchange has, in consequence, consid..rably proved. in a few days it rose from '26 to more that 32. This sudden rise is extremely beneficial to Most or our merchants, and enables them to withchlese with great profit the capitals which they sent las: year to England. They then paid at the rate of 9 ni.tiks 12 schillings banco per pound sterling ; they Are now selling at 12 marks 3 or 4 schillim. Many of our merchants gain merely by this diff.sence in the course of exchange 100,000 marks banco.

ST. DOMINGO. • (reou-rae GAZETTE DIL MINCE.) A memoir on St. Domingo has just appeared from the pen of Colonel Midenfaut, a proprietor in that colony, and cx.delegate of the French Government at Surinam. Now that peace and the Bourlarths at last console our country, St. Domingo is restored to us by the most solemn treaty.: but this restitution is 'still an empty name; and the mode in which it any he realised is the imp.mant queition which M. Mo en . tint discuses in his memoiri. It is his opinion, in wbicii many considerable Sg. Domingo planters participate, that .the Introduction of a new war into that island would only tucreaae tho evil ; nay more, with that frankness whichpereades his whole book, he does not hesitate to pronounce that the'si!uation of France, in regard to. St. - Domirigo;:s more critical at the present moment than at the period of the fatal expedition of Leclerc. .He supports this gloomy assertion with proofs which'appear unanswer. able. " The blacks," says he, " are better arm6t, more warlike, more fortified, and better commanded than at the abovementioned period ; their insaits are besides ulcerated with the cruelties practised von them, in the drownings a Ia Carrier, and in causing them to be hunted by dogs, which, to render them more ferocious, were fed with the flesh of negroes— cruelties perhaps exceeding those.of the Pizarros and Mrnagros, the fierce conquerors of Peru." But notwithstanding the .difficulties in the way of reoccupying St. Domingo, M. Malenfaut does not deem it impracticable. He thinks that the return of the King to the throne of his fathers will produce the Moit happy effects on those who are at present the real possessors of St. Domingo. He himself has often heard the mulattoes repeat with gratitude, that Louis XIV. bad granted them political rights. 44 They know that the family of the Bourbons. has always go verned the French people With kindness." It may therefore be presumed, that they will rejoin the old banner of the lily ; but'M. Maienfaut at the same time represeats them as resolved on deeds of the most Jrightful despair, ratlalpthim endure new humiliations from the whites. :-A.t,to the negmes, he does not believe it will ever be possible to reduce them to . slivery. a The con ' duct of Bonaparte his tendered them so suspicious, that nothing but :lets of the greatest fidelity can pet wade them that the Bourbons wcuid.wish to mitigate their fate." M. Malenfaut could not pass in silence the hopes which the dissensions subsisting between the rival chiefs Petion and Christophe furnish to all good Frenchmen. On this head , he asserts, that as Soo) as an army appeared on the • island that jealqusy would cease. Those who are well acquainted with the real state of things in St. Domingo, will be able to judge how far this opinion is well founded : one thing is cer tain, hoviever, that the accounts of Fetttn having ac• knowledged the King (which , tho journals_ hos hastened to take up and propagate) ate quite desti tute of any official character. Instead of an army, which he would not hav'ei*en talked of, M. Malenfaat proposes, that tit the hest instance there should be sent out, as k. ai Comi,:it sioners, persons whose respectability derived ; it.int birth is supported by a high reputation for tam tor and moderation." Such persons alone, he says, would be listened to. The author, who ascribes to religion great inflq ence over the minds of the Blacks, suggests also that three Bishops, with some Cara, should assist in the loble enterprixe of restoring St. Domingo to Fr.Lnce rhey would inculcate in the parishes, as the first Was of liberty, the love of urder and i ndustry.

A mass of intelligence from America is crowded into our colecons of t•--day : the So/11meg to the Gazette contains the Offici Details of the late splene did achievement of our gallant army in Canada, and by the artital of HAbfax Papers to the 27th of August. , and Boston to the 24th, we have heen furnished with the account given by the Americans tl.e.mselves. Our Readers will perceive a great discrepancy in the Bri. tish and American statements. The Litter claim dm victory for the first three hours, and fairly admit that the tide was afterwards turned by the British bringing into the field a superiority of numbers.--- This is untrue ; and, in charity to the Americans, we must presume that it is not a wilful falsehood for the darkness of the night may have produced the illusion which hastened their discomfiture. The Americans themselves admit that they were beaten' and state that General BROWN must now act on the defensive. This, of course, entitles us to regard the battle as having ended decisively in &your of the British army. Great alarm prevails every where throughout the %Tutted States, and the Paistogair has summoned an rAtraotditury Congress for September 19. We subjoin the following extracts: DOS roN, AUOUST IIerFRACT OF A LETTER FRou BUFFALO, SLYLY 2/. 46 I have just time to inform yon, that a most un suinary battle was tought on the 25th instant, near Chippawa.

Our success, for some time, appeared Complete—but, alas ! !be enemy were too powerfully reinforced for our gal lant little army, and we, in turn, were compelled, by superiot farce, to retire Isom the field. The enemy were, however, so completely cut to pieces, that they alittet detail it prudent to pursue. Our army retired about trio miles and remained during the night and yesterday. " The slaughter was dreadful on both sides. Our toss was very severe indeed. The first brigade was almost annihilated. Generals Brown and Scott were severely wounded. Captain Spencer, first AU to Ge t nal Brown, was mortally wounded. Almost all the wield officers of the first brigade were wounded. The tehole of the enemy's artillery were twice taken and retaken during the action. Some of our wounded fell into the hands of the enemy, and a few prisoners. Our army retired in perfect order, and we may with pro priety claim the victory." BOSTON, AUGUST 10. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF TUE BATA. N OF CUIPPAWA. Copy of a Letter from Caraln 1. Aoanx, Ald-de•Camp to General BlowN, to the Secretary at War, dated lieed-gala+• tars luSalo r Mb July, 11114 s " I have the honour of addressing you by desire of General Brown, who is now coned by wounds *recei►ed in a se►ere engagement with the enemy on the afternoon and night of the 25th instant. Our army had fallen back to Chippawa. The enemy collecting every regiment from Burlington and York, and meeting with no opposition on Lake Ontario, transported by water to Fort George troops Miss Kingston and even Prescott, which enabled them to bring against us a force wily superior, under the command of Lieutenant-General Drummond and Major-General Riall. They were met by us near the falls . of Niagara, where a most severe conflict en- sued► The enemy disputed the ground with resolu tion, yet were drives from every positicn they at tempted to bold., " We stormed his batteries directly in front, and took possession of all his artillery. Notwithstanding his immense superiority both in numbers and posi tion, he WAS completely defeated, and our troops re mained on the battle ground without any interrup tion. As, however, both General Brown and Gene ral Scutt had received severe wounds, almost every Chief of Battalion disabled, and our men quite ex hausted, it was thought proper to retire to our en campment, which was done in good order, without may molestation from the enemy—oar wounded hav ing first been removed. ittijorZeneesil Riall, with the Aide•du-Camp of Lieutcnaut-General Drummond, and about 20other Officers, with 200 privates, are taken prisoners. 66 The loss •n both %ides is itontrnse—bnt itn ac. team has yet been returned.
