On the 14th October, two companies of the 71st regiment, Captain M'lntyre's and Captain Spottiswoode's, had a smart action with S or 100 of the French, whom they drove, with the bayonet, into their intrenched Worki • whence they made a violent .sortie upon our advanced posts, under the cover of .five guns, and potted musketry ; thank Gon, the result was not a moment doubtful, and. the ;Ist had the eiclu sive honour of threshing them with the bayonet in a masterly style. Our loss was Serjeant Daly and nine private' killed, and 30 wounded. The enemy. left eight officers and about 200 killed and wounded on the field. I believe at head quarters nothing is known of Massena's intentions ; but the popular opi nion is, that-he is waiting for reinforcements.
