1 04Z1 TTE EXTIt TUESDAY, Starr. 27. COLONIAL DEPARTSIENt. • ; Doraning-street, Sept.V. Capt. Smith, Assistant-Adjutant-General to the troops under the command of Major-General Roe., arrived this morning with a dispatch from that Offi cer, idelcessed to Earl Bathurst, one of his Majes ty's Principal Secretaries of State, of which the fol lowing is a copy : Tonwint, in tha Patexentviaa. 30. LORD,—I have the honour to colinaunicate toy our Lordship, that on the night of the 2lth Instant, after defeating the army of the United States on that day, the troops under enj command . entered and towl. possession of amity of Wash ., . t • beton. It was determined between Sir A. Cochrane and myself, to diaesnbark the army at the eillage of Be nedict, on the right hank of the Patuxent, with the Intention of co-operating with Rear-Admiral Cock burn, in an attack upon a flotilla of the enemy's gnu-heats, under the command of Commodore Bar ney. On the Roth' instant, the army commenced its march, having lauded the previous day without op. position : on the 21st it reached Nottingham, and on ttbt Vitd moved on to Upper Marlborough, a few miles distant from Pig Point, on the Patuxent, where Admiral Cockburn fell in with and defeated the gorilla, taking and deattoying the whole. Ha v ing advanced to . within sixteen miles of 'Washington end ascertaining the force of the enemy to be such as might aotherise •as attempt at' easirying - hie tepi4 tal, 1 deteimined to make it, eud accordingly put the troops in movement on the evening of the 93d. — A corps of about 1200 men appeared to opposelts, but retired after firing a few shots. On the t4th, this troops resumed their march, and reached Bladens burg, a ' , Hine situated on theleft bank Of the eastern branch of the Potowmao, about five miles from 11Vashington. On the opposite side of that river the enemy was discovered strongly posted on very commanding heights. formed in two lines, his whence occupying • fortified house which, with artillery, covered the bridge over the : eastern branch, across which the British troops had to pass. A. brood and straight read, !toadies from the bridge to Washington, Ten through the position, whiciswu carefully defended by artillery and riflemen. • The disposition for the attack being made, it was commenced with so evach impacosity by the light brigade, consisting of the S s th light infantry, aed the light infantry companies of the army',..ander the command of Colonel Thornton, that thp':,fortificd house was shortly carried, the enemy retiring to the higher grounds. In support of the light brigade I orderel up a brigade under the command of Colonel Brooke,who, with the 44th regiment, attacked the enemy's kit, the 4th regiment pressing his right with such effect as to•cause him to abandon his guns. Ills first line giving way, was driven on the second , which, yielding to the irresistible attack of the bayonet, and. the well-directed discharge of rockets, got into con fusioe aad lea, leasing the British masters of the field. The rapid flight of the enemy, and his know . ledge of the country, precluded the possibility of many prisoncrs being taken, more particularly as• the troops had, during the day, undergone consider 'hie beige,. • The enemy's army, amounting to 8 or 9000 mew,' with 3or 400 cavalry, as under the command of bei::g fornied of troops drawn from BAl'imore and Pennsylvania.

The object of the expedition . being geriinsi.ii.cett, I determineti„ before iiny kreateci force of the etient c0..1d be assembled, to withdraw the troops, cud arctritliogly commenced retiring o& the night of thr2slll. On the evening of the 29th We reached Beeedict and re-embarked the following day. In the performance of the operation I have detailed, it is with the utmost satisfaction I ebserve to your Lordship, that cheerfulness in undergoing fatigue, zed ansiety for the accomplishment of the bbject, wire conspicuous in all ranks. . To Sir Alexander Cochrane my thanks are due, for his ready compliance with every wish connected with the welfare of ,the troops, and the success of the expedition. . To Rear-Admiral Cockburn, who suggested the attack upon Washington, and Mho accompanied the army, I confess the greatest obligation for his cordial ev-operation and' advice. Colonel Thornton, who led the attack, is entitled to every praise for the noble example he set, which bas so well followed by Lieutesant-Colonel Wood and the 85th Light Infantry, and by Major Jones, of the 4th Foot, with the light companies attached to the light brigade. I have to express my approbation of the spirited conduct of Colonel Brooke, and of his brigade, the 44th regiment, which he led, dis tinguished itself, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Mullens ; the gallantry of the Foot, under the com command of Major Faunae, being equally conspl- cu ans. The exertions of Captain Mitchell, of the Royal Artillery, in bringing the guns into action, were un remitting ; to him, and to the detachment under his command, including Captain Deacon's rocket bri gade, and the marine rocket corps, I feel every obli gation. Captain Lempriere, of the royal artillery, mounted a small detachment of the artillery drivers, which proved of great utility.
