JUNE 6. ~ _ ~ --~_ place on this day, with Gen. Alilaraolovitch's corps, in which the enemy 'suffered considerably trom the charges of the Russian cavalry. It was now unfortunately ascertained thzt the Xing of Saxony had declared for the enemy. General Thielman was deposed from his com mand, and the fortress of Torgau delivered up to Generals Reinter and :Noy. This, I fear, will piece a Saxon force at the enemy's disposal. The head-quarters of the Allied Arniv moved on the 12t h to Worsen, on the road to Gorlitz, and the army took up a position at Hoch Kirch l which hatbefore been so celebrated a field in the seven years war. Ge neral Milaradovitcli's corps was Again engaged the whole of this day with the enemy, who entered Bishofswei der, Itsviug sustained a most et vere loos. The whole army were in posttion on the 13th at night, except General Bulow's corps which still remains on the right to form the appui of th# Landwehr and levies of the Prussian States, amounting to above 40,000 men at the present moment, and is daily increasing. General Milaradovitcli is still in advance of Bautsor. General Barclay de 'lolly's reitdorcements are espected to arrive in a day or two. The Prussians have got several new corps come up, and the Russians several thousand convalescents. The Allied Army remained in position on the 14th, and made no ap parent movemiit. General Sebastiani mid Marshal Davoust are reported to be moving on Magdeberg. I have only to add. having jest returned from the outposts, that Ge. neral Milaradovitch having been pressed by the enemy in force this day has passed the Spree river, and the enemy have taken up a position within cannon-shot of our advance.

Prevost, doted Niagura, Feb, 27, 1813, enclosee the following. Prescott, Fehrruuy 22, 1813. have the honour to acquaint son, for the 'lilt:urination of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces, that, in consequence of the counnands of his Excellency to retaliate , under favourable circum steticrg, upon the enemy, for his late wanton uegres•ions upon this hon tier, I, this morning, about seven o'clock, ciosy-d the rivtr St. Law rence upon the ice, and attacked and carried, after a little more than an hour's action, his position in and near. Abe opposite town of Ogditii burg, taking eleven pieces of cannon, and all his ordnance, marine, commissariat, and Quarter-Master-General's stores, four officers and seventy prisoners, and burning two arint.d schooners and two large gun boats, and both his barracks. My forte consisted of Amid 483 regulars and militia, and was divided' into two columns: the right commanded by Caiitaiii.lenkins , , col the THE NATIONAL REGISirEII,_ I- Glengarry fencibles, was composed of his own flank come. party and obont 70 militia; and from the state of the ice. and th. enemy's position in the Old French Fort, was directed to check his left, aud interrupt his retreat, whilst I moved on with the left column, C insisting of 120 of the King's regiment, 40 of the royal Newfound. land corps, and about '2O militia, towards his position In the town, o her. lie had posted his heavy field artillery. The depth of the snow in some degree retarded the advance of both columns, and exposed them, particularly the right, to a heavy cross fire from the batteries of the enemy, for a longer period than I had expected, but pushing oa rapidly after the batteries began to open upon us, the left column soon gained the right hank of the river, under the direct fire of his artillery and line of inumietry, posted on an eminence near the shore ; molting on rapidly, my advance, consisting of the detachment of the royal Newfoundland and sonic select militia, I turned his tight with the de tachment of the King's regiment, and after a few discharges from his artillery, took them with the bayonet, and drove his infantry through the toe n ; some escaping across the Black River into the fort, bat the majority fled to the woods, or sought refuge in the houses, from whence. they kept such a galling fire, that it was necessary to dislodge them with our field pieces, which now came up from the bank of the river, where they hal stuck on landing. in the deep snow. Having gained the high ground on the brink of the Black river op. pos:te the tort, I prepared to carry it by storm; but the men being quite exhausted, I procured time fur them to recover breath, by sendiug in a sunmens, requiring an unconditional surrender: During these transactions, Captain Jenkios had gallantly led on his colninn, cod had been exposed to a heavy fire of seven guns, which he bravely attempted to take with the bayonet, though covered with two hundred of the ene my's ber:t troops : advancing as rapidly as the deep snow, and the ex hausted state (in cousequence) ,of his mien would admit, he ordered a charge, and had not proceeded many paces, when his lett arm was bro ken to pieces, by a grapeshot; but still undauntedly running on with his men, he almost immediately afterwards was deprived of the use of his right arm by a discharge of case shot ; still heroically d.sregardieg all personal consideration; he nobly ran on. cheering his men , iothe as• sauit, tilt exhausted by pain and loss of blood , lie became utiae t move ; his c..rneany gallantly continued the charge utnittr Lieutenant WAtiley, but the reserve of militia not being able to keep up with them, they were compelled, by the great superiority of the enemy; to give was, leaving a tow on a commanding position, and a few of the most advanced in the enemy's posseasioup nearly about the thae that I gained the height ebove-mentioned. The enemy Iteoitatmg to surrender, I instantly carried his eastern battery, and by it silenced another which now opened again, and or dering on the advance, the detachment of the King's, and the High land company of militia, under Captain Ensurer, of the King's regi ment, he gallantly rushed into the fort; but tt e enemy retreating by, the oppos•te entianee, escaped into the woods, which I should 'tree nail) have prevented, if my Indian warriors had returned s o oner from from a detached service on which they had that morning been employeo, 1 cannot close this statement without expressing my admiration of the gallantry and self-devotion of Captain Jenkins, who has lost one arm, and is in danger of losing the other. I must also report tile in. trepidity of Captain Lehevre, of the Newfoundland regiment, who had the imtnediate charge of the Militia under Colonel Fraser QS Captain Eustace, and the other Officers of the King's regimert, and particularly of Lieutenant Ridge, of that corps, who very gallantly led on the advance, and of Lieutenant M'Auley and Ensign &Mon nell, rif the eengatty regiment, as also Lieutenant (angnebvn, of the royal ei gineers, and of Ensign M'Kay, of the Glengarry light infantry, and of Ensign Kerr, of the militia, each of whom had charge of a geld piece, and of Lieut. Irupey, of the militia, who has lost a leg. I was also well suyported by Colonel Fraser and the other Offi. cers and men of the, militia, who emulated the conspicuous, bravery of all the troops of the line. l inclose a list of the killed and wounded. The enemy had five hundred men under arms, and Malt have so• wined a considerable loss. I have the lbountir t) be, &c. (Signed) 111rIC DONNELL, Major, Glengarry Light Infantry. Lieutenant. Colonel.
