FEB. 23.—1 t is rumoured that Ge neral Prevost ha s gone into Upper Canada to meet General Harrison with a force of about 8000 men. General-Dearborn has taken the command :in person at Sacket's Harbour. Letters have been received. in this city, dated the Head-quarters of the North-western Army, foot of the Miami Rapids, Feb. 20, 1813. These letters state that General Harrison was intrenck ing himself at that place, and that all idea of in. vatting Canada tinring the present season was abandoned. 'They add, that the army were irt;the daily consumption of six thousand five hundred rations, and that an additionak force drum SOO to 1000 were expected before the Ist of May. Letters have been received from General Harri son, we understand, at the Department of War,. at a clute much later than the information we this clay copy froma Ohilian paper. It is said that he had. advanced with his army to the river Raisin, and as late as the 20th had riot met the enemy. FICTITIM/S DOCUMENTS, —Our Readers will recollect, .that a Sunday Paper lately submitted some pretended coctim . imications from the LOUD CHANCELLOR, and other Members. of the Cabinet, to the Pamcess or Wett.hs, andlier Royal High nesN's answer ; since which, the same Phper has pleaded that it u•as imposed upon by a Gentleman well known to be insane, and has endeavoured to justn'y itself by - the insertion of what, it denomi nated a fat-simile of the hand-writing of the. Prin e:!ss, and statements respecting her Ladies, whom the original fabrications had involved in the im position. The Affair altogether has drawn forth the following letter, wi,ich is: addressed to the Editors of some of the Morning Papers : " SIR, 1 request yen will insert the inclosed in your P,tper as soon as pobs.ble. I am, Sir, your's, &c. " A., B. ST. LEGER. t° SIR, Montague House, .oth April. Having the honour to ser've her Royal High ness the Princess of \Vales in the office . of Vice- Chamberlain, and being well acquainted with her Royal Highness's hand-writing, I have examined' the,fac-siiuile of a pretended letter from her Royal Highness, published in The Mite of last Sun day, and I do most positively affirm, that it hears no resemblance to the band-writingA of her Royal Highness. " I am, Sir, your's, &c. `` A. B. ST. LEGER." The Viscountess PERCEVAL has also. transmitted the following article for insertion : f From the undue and unauthorised, use 'which has been made of the name of her Royal .High ness the Princess of Wales, in one of the weekly papers, Lady PerceVal feels herself called upon to declare., Firstly, That.she never received any authority from her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales to insert any paragraphs in the Newspapers ; " And, secondly, That she never could have thought of tuking,so great a liberty as to introduce Mr. Mitford to the Princess of ‘Vales's presence. And Lady Petcevul solemnly declares her positive conviction, that 'the Princess never saw, wrote; nor spoke to Mr. Milford, nor ever . had any inter course or communication With him at any time, place, es upon any occasion whatsoever."

(pets of Wellington, by which your Lordsbiy will be fully apprised of the present situation of.• this ariny, - and of the different trifling affairs Willa' we have had with the enemy. Extract of ti letter from Lieut. General,Sir J. Murray to Lard Wellington, dated Alici:nte, March 10, 1313. I had the honour, in my letter of the 26th ult. to adquaint your Lordship, that I had taken the command of the division of the Mediterranean army serving on the eastern coast of Spain. Since my letter of the 26th Feb. nothing of ifn: portance has occurred. On the 3d inst. when recorthoitring the position of Adeoy, it became ngcessary to drive in the ad vanced posts. The enemy lost in the action,. at I have been informed,- one'ofEaer killed, and about twenty tnen killed and wounded. • • - The possession of Alcoy appeared to me of im portance; and having had a very account'` view of the position, I thought it possible, in carrying - the , place, to cut orthe corps stationed there. With this intention, On the 6th instant, I directed the march of a part of, the army on Alcoy, and ,attack-•,- id that post, on the morning of the 7th ; but by. the 'unfortunate delay of the column which was destined to cut of his retreat, the enemy effected , his eicape-; butt this column arrived a quarter - of an hour before, not a man could have. °ot.„ Off. The. advanced guard of the column destined to at tack the enemy in front drove him about six or seven miles, when I found the soldiers so much fatigued, that even had I wished I could have pressed them no further. _The country over which tile enemy retired was extremely favourable for him; and certainly might have been much better defended. Ike ,was on this account enabled ,to dispose of his killed and wounded, and I cannot state his kiss. 'P. • t on the part of the allied army is inconsider ahle. I have much sati,f action. in acquainting your Lordship, that trifling as these affairs have proved, they are sufficient to give me great confidence in the troops which were engaged ; and it is with peculiar pleistire I have noticed the state of Ma jor-General Whiztingbane division of the Spanish army. Extract of a letter from Lieut. General Sir J. Murray to Ge• neral the Marquess 01, Ili,ngton, dated Custuila, March 23, 1813. ln my dispatch of the 10th inst. I had the ho nour to inform your Lordship, that I had found it expedient, to drive the enemy from Alcuy, and to occupy that place with a strung division of the al lied army. in cotisequenceof this movement, Maretal Su , Chet quitted Valencia, and has assumed the cam, !nand, in person, of the troops on the right batik of the Xucar. He appeals to have drawn to this division of his army nearly. all the disposable force which he has in the neighbourhood of Valencia. Finding that the enemy was concentrating his force,_ 1 assembled the army ut•Castella the 20th. In consequence of this ccincentratior. of the allied army, Marshal Sachet has reinforced his right, .and T bus now a.strong force at Onteniente, Mogente, and Fugente dcl Hignera. Since I hail last thellonoui of addressing .your Lordship, there have been several trifling affairs with the e 'env. General ‘Thittingintm has forced hitn to retire beyond • the Puerto de Albayda,' with it very considerable loss. . In this affair, which General Whittingham con• ducted with great judgment, and in which' the Spanish troops behaved-with' great gallantry mid order, th.: General was slightly.wounoled, as were an officer and'seven • In a reconnoitring party on the tattle day, con ducted by Major-General Donkin, Captain• Jacks, and the foreign troop of light cavalry, Captain Waldroa, and the grenadiers of the 2d, 27th, and Lieutenant M'Dongall, of the Adjutant-General's Department, had an opportunity of making a spirited attack on an enemy's post, which was carded in the presence of a battalion drawn tip as spectators. We sutiqed no loss on this occasion, but killed some,:of the enemy, anti took tt few prisonerS. Before I conclude this letter I beg to add, that since I- had 'been m co-operation with General Elio, I have foutuf.his Excellency mast anxious to forward every object I have in view : it is impossi 'We too highly to exttil his zeal, or the readiness rith, which he meets may wishes. - , didmiralti-Office, April 'A, 1813, Letters, of wl►iclh the following are Cot►ies rind Extracts, have been transmitted to this °thee by Reor-Admiral adQ~essett to J(diti Wilson C+oke•r, Esq. by Lientenu►h thatis, late 25rst Lieutenant of his Majesty's still) ,la►•u: SIR, United States' Frigate Conetitution, off St. Salvador, Dec. A, 11311. ft is with deep . regret that I write you, for the' info - m . l6)n of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that his Majesty's ship Java is no more, after sustaining an action on the 29th mist. for several hours, with the American frigate Con stitution, which resulted in the capture and ulti- Mate destruction of Ids Majesty's ship. Captain Latiiihert being dangerously wounded in the height of the ac'iou, the melancholy task of writing the detail devolves on me. On the morning of the 29th instant, at eight A. M. of St. Salvador (coati of 13raii1), the wind at:N.E. we perceived a strange ; made alt sail in chat!, And soon made her out toile a large fri gate ; atnoon prepared for action, the ellace not answering our private signals, and tacking towards us under easy sail ; when about four miles distant she made a signal, and immediately tacked and made all sail away upon the wind. We soon fouud we bad the advantage of ber in sailing, and came up with her 'fast, when she hoisted American colt - nut ; she then bore about three points on our Ice bow. At fifty minutes past one I'.

At half past thiee our gallant Captain received a dangerous wottnd in the breast, mid was carried below ; from this tim e we' etitthi not fire inoae then two or three gnus until a quarterptist when our niiten-mast Was shot arfayf the ship then fell off a little, and brought amity of Oise flOir- : boerd gives -to bear : ab# enemy's rigging was so much cut that he could not now shooang 'a head, 'which brought us fairly broadside and broad side. Our main-yard now went . in the slings,. • both ships continued engaged in this mantle!' WI thirtyativeaniaittes past four, we frequently on tire in coaxeattenee of the wreck lying ma the side en gaged. Our opponent noe- made sail a-head out of gun -shot, nacre he remained an hour repair ing his damages, leaving us an unmanageable wreck, with only the main-mast left, and that tottering. Every exertion was made by 10 duriog. • this interval to place the ship in a state to renew the action. We succeeded in clearing the wreck • of our marts from our guns, a sail was set on the stumps. of the foremast and bowsprit, the weather halt of the main-yard remaining aloft, the whi t:ad: was got forward in the hope of getting the ship before the wind, our helm being still perteet ; the effort unfortunately proved inefrectual, from the main-mast falling Over the side, from the heavy rolling of the ship, which nearly cavered the whole of our starboard guns.
