~:~ . THE NATIONAL REGISTER. donment of their town (which was partially fortified), attests for us a complete and decisive victory.. It has, however, been ikarly purchased. A number of brave and valuable men have fallen victims to their zeal for their country's service. The behaviour of the regulars and militia troops was such as would have dune honour to veterans. I arrived at my present position (a mile from the town) on the evening of the 6th instant; a correspondence was immediately opened with the Provhet, and. there wad every appearance of a successful terni;nation of the.ex pedition without bloodshed : indeed, there was an agreement for the suspensicn of hostilities. until a further communication should take place on the next day. Contrary, however, to this engagement, he at tacked me at half past four o'clock in the morning, so suddenly, that the Indians were in the camp before many men could get out of their tents. A little confusion, for a short time, prevailed, but aided by the great exertions of the officers, I was soon enabled to form the men in order. The companies which were hard pressed were supported, several successful charges made. and at day-light, the enemy were finally put to flight. Our killed and wounded amount to 179, of these 42 are now dead. I have not been able to ascertain the number of Indians in the action; it must, however, have been considerable. The principal Chief of these l'ota.watemies who have joined the Prophet is wounded, and in our possession. I have taken care of him, and shall send him back to his tribe. At a more leisure moment I shall do myself the honour to tritnsmit a more particular account of the action, and of our previous movements. And am, with the greatest respect, Sir, Your bumble servant; . The Hon. Wm. Eustis, Secretary of War. W. H. HARRISON. . . TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. DOWNING-STEEET, DEC. 31, 1811. A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has been this motnling received by the Earl oftivt.3 pool, from General - Viscount Wellington, dated Frcnada, December 12, 1611 : The enemy have made no movement of importance in this quarter, since I addressed you on the 4th instant. I have received accounts from Cadiz to the 30th of No vember : General Ballasteres has been tAbliged again to re tire. It appears that the enemy have brought some troops from Grenada to act upon General Ballafteros, as well as the division under General Semel, belonging to the frst corps. The official accounts from Valencia come down as far as the 20th of November. The-enemy had not at that period made any progress in their. attack upon General Blake's position, in front of Ole town. The Chiefs of Guerillas Duran, El Enapeern:lo, F. , poz y Mina, had been very active and successful in their operations against the enemy. JAN. 5.
