COLONIAL DEPARTMENT. DOWNING STREET, AUG. 8. Dispatches, of which the following are an extract and copy, have been this day 'received from Lieute nant-General Sir George Prevost, by Earl Bathurst, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the War and Colonies : Head-Quarters, Montreal, July to, 1814. I have the honour to report to your Lordship the safe arrival At Michilimackinac on the 18th eit . May last, of Lieutenant.Coloncl M'Douall, with the whole of the reinforcements of troops and seamen, and of the supplies of stores and provisions with which he sailed from Nottawasaga River on the `2sth of April preceding. The difficulties experienced in conducting open and deeply laden bateaux across so great an extent of water as Lake Huron, covered with immense fields of ice, and agitated by violent gales, could only have been surmounted by the zeal, perseverance, and abed lities of the officers commanding this expedition; for nineteen days it was nearly one continued struggle with the elements, during which time the dangers, hardships, and privations, to which the men were ex• posed, were sufficient to discourage the boldest amongst them, and et times threatened the total de struction of the flotilla. By uncommon exertions, however, the obstacles to the progress of the boats w.ere surmounted, and the whole, with the exception of one only (the lading of which was saved)'reached the place of their deStvition,- to the great joy of the garrison, who had been anxiously looking out fur this timely relief. • Measures were taken by Colonel Macdouall, im. mediately after his arrival, to strengthen the defences of the fort ; and 1 have had the satisfaction (When . ' g from hint as late as the ISch of June, that the had assumed so formidable an :launch!, as t.) leave him no apprehension of the result of any attack which the enemy might make upon this post. . . Colonel Matdouall reports to me the arrival at the fort of nearly 200 of the Western warrhrs, under Mr. Dickson ; a reinforcement which he considers highly important. He describes these Western warrior; to be a warlike and determined race, on whom gloat reliance may be placed. Head-Quarters, Mown at, July 13, 18; 4. DIY LORD—Since my dispatch to your Lordship, of fAiterchty's date, I h.tve received from Lientenaut General Drummond, Major-General ltiall's report of the sortie made from tise lines at Chipp.twit, which, together with the Lieutenini-General's lcttyr, 1 have the honour of transmitting to your Liirdship. I do not understand that the enemy, since the - action, have attempted to advance. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) GC:M(4E PREVOsT. Kings:on, July 10, 1814. Sin—l have the honour to transmit beiewith a copy of Major. General lZt it's official report on the subject of the landing of the enemy . between Chilli:4 , a a and Fort Elie on the 3d instant, and of the M qur-C;ei:e la 's attack upon their position on the sth. It is highly satisfactcry to observe, that the gal lantry and steadiness of British soidiers was conspi cuous throughout the conduct of every individual en gaged ; and that tie 2d regiment of Lincoln under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, which composed part of the advance, under Lieut.- nant-coionel Yealson, equally distinguished 'them selves, although them brave and vigorous etiosts proved unitv..iling against the prodigious superiority, in point of numbers, which the enemy pos,esseel, and which induced the M.,jor-General- to withdraw Isis small force to the position at Chippawa. I have the honour ro be, Stc. • (Signed) lioltrE)N DRUMMOND. • Lieutenant-General Commanding. IlisE e tcellency S!r George Prevost, hart. Chippawa, duty 6, 1814. Sin--I have the honour to inform you, that the enemy effected a landing on the morning of the 3d instant, at the Ferry, opposite Black Rock, having driven in the picquet of the garrison of Fort Erie.— I was made acquainted with this circumstance about eight in the morning, and gave orders for the unme-1 diate advance to Chippawa of five c-mpanies of the, Royal Scots, under Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, to reinforce the garrison of that place. Lieutenant- Colonel Pearson had moved torwaid Itoni thence with the flank companies of the 100;h, some militia, :sod a few Indians, to reconnoitre their position and 'lumbers : he !mind them posted on the ridge pita,. tel with the river, near the terry, and in strong t• rce. received information from Major Buck that they had AIM landed a considerable force above Fort Erie. —ln consequence of the King's Regiment, which I had every reason to expect the day before from York, rtiotiravirig arrived,'l Was prevented from making an attack that night. • The following Morning, the 4th, a body of their troops were reported to lie advancing by the river ; I Moved - to reconnoitre , - said found them to be in considerable fOrte, with cavalry and artillery, and large body of riflemen. Lieutesant-Culonel Pearson was in advance during this Ofainntssance, with. the k light . coinpany Of' the Royal 'Becks, and the flank company of the 100th, and a le* of the )9th light dragoons, four of whom, end tight horses, were wounded in a skirmish with Ole enemy's riflemen. Having been joined by the King's regiment on the morning of the Pith, I made my dispositions for attack at four O'clock in the afternoon. The light companies of the Royal Scots, and 100th regiment, with the 2d Lincoln Militia, formed the advance un der Lieutenant-Colonel Pearson. The Indian war riors were throughout on our right flank in the woods. The troops moved in three calumns, the third (the King's regiment) being in advance. The enemy had taken up a position with his right resting on ' some buildings and orchards, close on the river Nia gara, and strongly supported by artillery ; his left towards' the wood, having a considerable body of riflemen and Indians in front of it. Our Indians and Militia were shortly engaged with the enemy's riflemen and Indians, who at first checked their advance, but the light troops ling brought to their support, they succeeded, after a sharp contest, in dislodging them, in a very hand some style. I placed two light tweuty-four poun ders, and a five and a half inch howitzer, against the right of the enemy's position, •and formed the Royal Scots and 100.11 regiment, with the intention cf making a movement upon his left, which deploy ed with the. greatest rizularity, and .opened a very heavy fire. • I immediately moved up the King's Regiment to the right, while Royal Scots and 100th regiment were directed to charge the enemy in front, for. which they advanced -with the -greatest gallantry, under a most destructive -fire. _ I am sorry to say, however, in this attempt they suffered so severely, that I was obliged to withdraw them, finding their further. efforts against the superior numuers of the enemy would be unavailing. Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, and Lieutenant-Colo nel the Marquis of 'Pweedale, commanding these re giments, being wounded, as were most of the officers inlonging to each, I directed a retreat to be made upon Chippawa, which was conducted with good order and regularity, covered by the King's R !gi meat, under Major Evans, and the light troops, un der Lieutenant Colonel Pe4lloll j and I have pleasure in saying that nut a single prisoner fell into the ene my's hands, except those who were disabled from wounds. From the report of come prisoners we have made, the enemy's force amounted to about six thousand men, with a ♦ery numerous mall of artill: ry, having been augmented by a very large body of troops, which moved down ft. m Fort Erie immediately be fore the commenci.ment of the action. Our own force in regular troops amounted to about 15 , u ,•, exclusive of the militia and Ind'ans, of which la►t de scription there wine not above three hundred. Fort Erie, I understand, rendered upon capituiation on the 3d instant. Although the aff.i: was not arended with the six cess which I had hoped fur, it w 11 be highly gratif ; . ing to you to learn, that the officers and.men behav ed with the greltest gallantry. I am particularly indebted to Lieutenant-Colonel Pearson, for the vet y great assistance I have received from him, and for the manner iu which he led his light troops into the act;on. Lieutenant. Colonel Gordon, and Lieutenant- Colonel the Marquis of l'wee.tale, and Major Evdns, commanding the King's regiment, merit my warmest prose t. r the gmad example they sheaved at the head of their respective regiments. e at ultery, under the command of Captain Mac. konochie, was ably set ete,i, and directed with g. od . effect ; and 1 am parti,ul.rly 4thlized to Major Lisle, of the 1911 Light D; agoutis, for the manner in which he coveted and ptti.ected one of the 24. pounders, wine) h 'Oren Jts..6ied. I have reason to be highly satisfied swith the ai.it, activi.y, and.intelligence of Captain my Attie-dt -camp, Captain Elliot, Deputy As 'lst alit Qiarter .ster General, - Stuff Ad jutaut Gteig, and Lientenant Fox,4ithe Royal Scots, sv! o acted as Major to Brigade during the ahsence.of Maj ar Gli-gg at Fort George.

The conduct of the ()the_ r s and men of this regiment has also been highly praiseworthy. L.. utenant Colonel Pearson has repotted to me, in the moo fdviatrable terms, the excellent manner in which Lieutenant Horton, wah a part of the 19th Light Ihdgoi ns, observed the motions of ,the enemy, wisite he occupied the position he intik on his first landing, and during his advance to this place. • • I have the honour to be, &c.

Yesterday Count Dupont, the War Minister, is. sued an Order of the Day, notifying, that the part'. cular depot established at Paris for such military per sons as circumstances had drawn there, had become unnecessary, now tha; the carps ware renrganised and the garrisons fixed. Paris never having been considered as a place of • passage for military per sons, the Minister expressly prohibits the Generals of Military Divisions in the interior, Commissaries, and others having military authority in the depart ments, from permittihg single sub officers or soldiers to pliweed to Paris, on any pretext whatever, unless the regiments to which they bel ing are in garrisim there. The King has issued an ordinance; directing that Naval Officers, nnt in active service in the Ri.yal Navy, are to apply to the Minister for the Marine and the Colonies, for permission to be employed in the merchant-ser vice. In another ordinance, dated yesterday, the King acknowledges the services performed by the National Guards of Paris ; and directs that, on every anniver sary of his Majesty's entrance into Paris, these Guards shall perform the service of the Royal Household, ttn 7 . dersthe command. of Monsieur the Count d'Artois. As a distinction, a white ribbon and blue border is added to the aecoratinn of the lily worn by that corps, and decorations of the Legion of Honour are granted to the Officers On the singular occurrence of the spectators re fusing to quit the Chamber of Deputies during the debate on the Liberty of the Press, the Moniteur con tains the following Letter addressed to the Editor " AUGUST S. el Stn—You know, as well as myself, the circuits. stance which caused the Sittirg of the Chamber of Deputies to be adjourned this morning : it is unim portant in itself, but perhaps it is calculated to excite more serious reflection than one would be disposed at first to imagine. " Many people saw in it merely the adjournment of a sitting, and a delay which ptit them out of bu rnout : for my part, I have seen in it the Assembly of the Representatives of the N.ition driven lions the body of the house which they alone ought to occupy. by the public, whit have not a right to enter there, and who yet refused to withdraw. It was truly a sintilar spectacle to see the President of one of the great bodies of the State declaring, by Thule of the teguiations of that body, that no person had a right , o place ttimself in the House, then sitting down to wait till it should be cleared ; and after a fruitless delay 01 ten minutes, adjourning the meeting, be cause the public did not -please to comply with the epeated invitations of the door-keepers to obey the regulations. And what is the reason that the obstinacy of thes, people, who came to listen, triumphed over the firmness of those who were c died thither to discuss our mast important interests? It is that the former h.id come solely out of curiosity, and 'ware a signt ; that 'instead of being seriously impressed with the importance of the question which was to have been discussed, they considered it as a mere diversion, worth they determined not to give up ; it is that, feeling that if they vine,' their place, they would not find another; they hoped that by disotteying the injunction delivered to them, they would obtain per mission to remain ; it is, that they chose rather a Sit ting should be lost, through the violation of a law, than to withdraw upon an order that was disagreeable to them ; it is, that nobody in France yet knows what a law is, or CAO resolve to sacrifice a personal conve nience tt the obligations imposed by law. Gi And yet it is on a people so little disposed to observe gravity in the gravest matters, so incapable of restraining its.whims and caprices, that some are for conferring the unlimited liberty of the press 1 It is said, that public opinion demands it ; doubtless the opinion of that public who rep tired to the sitting where it was to be discussed !—they are the public whose opinion, it is wished, should dictate laws to us ! Did not that public know, when they entered the Hall, that it was their duty to conform to the obligations there adopted and observed ? These were .read to them, 'and they were required to obey ; but they all continued looking at each other, as much as to say—' Let us remain, if possible ; they will tire of ordering us out.' _ _ _ _ _ 66 The Assembly conducted itself with great wis dom ; it did not give way, it broke up; perhaps with a little more firmness, it would have obtained sr , lat it was entitled to enforce ; perhaps this firmness was the thing necessary ; but the Assembly still did great deal by remaining faithful to its rules. " The regulation of the House is of high impor. lance, and this morning the effects of its violation were already seen. The strangers who had intro. duced themselves into the body of the House, mingled among the Deputies, gave tneir opnuons belore the opening of the Sitting, on the subject of the d.scus. sills which should have taken place, and sought to exemise an improper influence over them. Or this influence the Assembly, with all wise men, ought to be extremely jealuus: we are acqua i n te d with its effects : we know what mere ii.urmurs, what brief insinuations are capable of producing ; the prudence of the framers of the regulations wove to prevent the influence of the galleries, fornier.y so disassous, by enjoining silence to strangers, b ) tortudding them to enter the enclosures ; but if any ot the barriers be broken down, the others will not long be respected. " We French seem always disposed to encroach ; the laws inspire us less with respect, titan with a wish to escape their influence ; grave considerations ot pub. lie order affect us little : the passion of the moment always . pre.iccupies us: we cannot divest ourselves of a certain vain glorious personality, which prevents us from sacrificing our own wishes with a good grace. to , that which is the general interest.
