Stet—Enclosed a:e the Articles of Capitulalian, by which the Fort of Detroit has been se:rendered to Major-General []reel:, _commanding his Pritannic Majesty's forces in t7l'per Canada, and hi - w !deft 11;2 troops have heroin,. yrisonerseS war.

This numerous assemblage of Savages, under the entire influence and direiqion• of the .British Commander, enabled him totally to oh stroct the only f:ommunication which I had w eountry. The communication had been opened from . .the settlements in the State of Ohio, two hundred !Riles through a wilderness, by the fatigues of the army, which I marched to the frontier on the river Dlroit. The body of the tale being commanded by the British armed ships, and the *holes and rivers by gun-bnals, the army was totally deprived of all corn snuniention by water. • On this extensive road it de- Tended fur transportation of provisions, military 'Stores, toodi . citre, clothing, and every other supply, on pack-horses. All its operations were successful until its arrival at Detroit, and in a few days it passed into the enemy'i: country, and all opposition wonted to fall haute it. • One month it remained in posses4on of this con it try, and was lid prom its resources. In differ.nit tli •rec!ions, ; r.etae.iments penetrated sixty milt s in the •settled part. of the province, and the inhabitatits 'seemed -atislied with the chae A o of sit nation, Ns am:caged to Le taking itiac. ; the militia from Am herstburg were c ) .aily deserting. and the wl:ol• coun try, under the controul *of the army, was'asl.ing for prot,titign. The Indians generally, in the first in stance, appeared to he neutralized, and dote! laitted to lake no part in the contest. The fort of Amherst burg was v;gliteen milos below my encampment. Not a caution or mortar was (.n wheels suitable to cal ry before ti at place. I contutted my Oilicers, whether it was exp‘sitent to make an attempt on it • with the hive:est alone, without cannon, to make a break in the first instance. The council I called was of the opinion it was not. The greatest industry was ex:•rtcd in making preparation, and it was not until the itlr of August, that two 21-pounders, and three hewitzets were prepared. It was then my inten tion to have proceeded an the euterprize: While the operations of the army were delayed by these prepa rations, the clouds of adversity had been fo r some time and seemed still thickly to he gathering around me. The surrender Of Michiliiiackinac opened the north ern hive of Indians, and they were swarming down in every direction. Reinforcements from Niagara bad arrived at Amherstburg, underthe* command of Colonel Proctor. The desertion of the militia ceased ; besides the reinforcements that came-by water, I re. ceived information of a very considerable force, under the command of Major Charn!:ers, on the river Le French, with four field-pieces, and collect ing the militia on his route, evidently destined for Amherstburg ; and in addition to this combination, and increase of force, contrary to all my expecta tions, the Wyandots, Chippewts • Ottowas, Potto watamies, Mdnsees, Delawares, Ire. with whom I had the most friendly intercourse, at otter passed ov”r to Amtierstburg, and accepted the tomahawk and scalpieg knife. There being now a vastnumber of Indians at the British post, they were sent tivithe river Huron, Brownstown, and Macon°, to, inter cept my communication. To open' this communi cation, I detached Major Valthornei . onite Ohk) volunteers, with 200 mm,-to proceed as far as the 'river Raisin, under evi expeetatitin he *bald meet Captain Brush, with l'kllnott, v , )lunteers from the State of• Ohio, and a qturotity 'of provision ' fir -the army.

As no enemy was near us, and as the superiority of our force was manifest, we could see no necessity for capitulating, nor any propriety in alluding to it. We therefore d etermined, in she last resort, to incur the responsibility of divesting the General of his corn. stand. _ This plan was eventually. prevented by two Commanding Officers of regiments being ordered upon detachments.

About sun-set on the evening of the'l4th, a detachment of 350 men from the re g iment commanded by Colonel - NPArthur and myself, was ordered .to march to the Raisin, to escort the provisions. • On Saturday, the 15th, about one•p'clock, a flag of truce arrived from Sandwich, bearing a summons from Gentoal Brock,' ror the surrender of the town 1111.1 iort of DANA', statit4:, he could no longer ,se- Istrain the fury of the sA%ilf;:'S.

The fourth regiment was stationed in the fort ; the Ohio volunteers, and a part of the Michigan mi litia, behind some pickets, in a sitnatio'n in which the whole flank of the enemy would have been ex posed. The residue of the Michigan militia were in the upper part of the town to tesist the incursions of the savages. Two '2l-pounders loaded with grape shot, were posted upon a commanding erninenc.e, ready to sweep the advancing column. In this situa tion, the superiority of our position was apparent. When the head of their column` arrived within about 1663'ards of our line,. orders *ere received from General-Hull, for the whole to mitrett to the fort, and for the 21-pounders not to open upon the enemy.
