Pa;:vo'sr i Bart. tread-qu:itters, Mantreal, Oct. so, 1813. MI/ L0a0,......)0a the Bth inst. I had the honour to report to your Lordship that Major-General HaMptdrk had occupied, with a considerable force of regulars and iuilitia, a position on the Cha teauguay River,' near the'settlement of the Four Corners. Early on the 21st the. American Remy *crossed the line of separation between •Lower Canada and the United• States, surprised a small - party of.lu-• warriors, and drove, in a piquet of Sedentary Militia, posted at the junction of 11:e Outard and Chateauguay Rivers, where it encamped; and pro ceeded in establishing a road of embintiriication with its last position, for the purpost•of bringing forward its artillery. • • Major-General Hampton having completed his arrangements on the 2.lth, commenced' on the fol lowing clay his operations against my advanced posts at about 11 o'clock in the forenoon of the 26th, his cavalry and, light troops were discovered advanring on . both banks of the Chateauguay, by a detachment covering a working party of heibitans- . employed in- telling timber, for the purpose of . constructinm ebbatis. Lient .-Colonel De Salaberry who nod the command or .the advanced piquets; composed of the light infantry company of the . Conadian Fencibles, and two companies of Vol tit:elms; on the north side of the river, made so exeelleet a disposition of his little band, that he ' checked the advance of the enemy's principal co- Int on, led by Major-General Hatnpton in perscut, and accompanied by Brigadier-General Izard ; whilst the American light brigade, under Colonel M'Carty, was in like manner repulsed in its pro, grits on the south. side. of the river, by the spi iited tolvanee of the right flank company of the ti it'd battalion of the embodied militia, tinder Gall t. 'Daly, supported by Capt.. Bruyer's com pany of Chateauguay chasseurs; Captains Daly and Broyers being both, wounded, and their com panies having sustained some loss, their position was hinnCdiately takeu up by a flank company of the first battalion of embodied Militia ; the elle ltaijied and repeatedly returned to the attack, which terminated only with the day, in his Com plete disgrace and defeat ; being foiled at all points • by el handful •of men, who by their, determined brav4y maintained their position„ and screened from insult •the working parties, who continued their htbottrs unconcerned. Having,fortunately arrived at. the scene of ac tion, shortly, after its commencement, witnessed the cohilnet of the troops on this glorious occasion, and it was a great satisfaction to ma to render on the spot that praise - which had become so justly their clue. I thanked Major-General De Watte ville for the wise measures taken by hint for the defence of his position, the advance,. and Lieute nant-Colonel De Salaberry, for the judgment dis-: 'played by hire in thc choice of his ground, and the bravery and skill with which be maintained it ; I acknowledged the highest praise to belong to.the officers and men engaged that morning, for their galla'ntry steadiness, and I called upon all the troops' in advance fora continuance .tif that zeal, steadiness, and discipline, as for that patient en durance cif hardships and privations which they ha've hitherto evinced ; anti I particularly noticed theatble support Lictit.-Col. De Salaberry received from Captain Ferguson, in command of the 14411 t, company oldie Canaelian Fencibles, and from Capt. .1. 11. Duchesmay and Captain J. DuChestuty,.and Adjutant Hebdetr, of the voltigeurs, and also from Adjutant O'Stri,livan e of the Sedentary Militia, and front Captain' Da Motte, betel:ging to the Indian warriors. Almost the whole of the British troops being pushed forward for the defence of Upper Canada, that of the lower province Must depend, in a great degree, oft the-valour and, continued exertious of its incorporated battalions and its sedentary mili tia, until the 70th regiment 'ant the two battalions of marines, daily expected, ar:ive. It is, there fore, highly satisfactory to state to your Lordship, that there appears a determination among .all e classes of his Majesty's Canadian subjects; to perseiere in a loyal .rind honourable line of conduct. By the report of prisonerS taken from the ene my in the affair .on the Chateauguay, the Ameri can force is stated at 7,000 infantry and 200 ea- . • 'sdly, with ten field pieces. The British advanc 7 . ed force, actually,eugaged, did not. exceed 300. The enemy .suffered severely. Irma our fire, and from their own I . some detached corps in the woods fired upon each other, have - the honoorto transmit to your Lordship, a return of the killed mid wounded on the 26th.- 7 - I avail myself of this opportunity humbly to so licit from his Royal Highness the Ninee'Regent, AS alnark otitis gracious approbation of the con duct: Of the embodied battalion of the Canadian militia, five pair of eplours for Abel st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 4uct,stll battalions.

Lordship in lily cliSpatch of the 22d. of Sept. last, I have received the enclosed cominunicat!on from Major-General Proctor. I have however been informed from other quarters, that lie com menced his retreat from Sandwich . on the 24th of that month, having previously dismantled the posts ot; Amhertsbarg and Detroit, and totally destroyed the public buildings and litotes of every description, That on the :)11's of Octoher'following, with in a few. Mile;, of a strong position, which it was his intention to take up7iit . the Moravian village on the River Tharnes,he Was attacked by so over whelming as force, under Mitior-GeneTal 'Harrison, that the small numbers he hod with hip), consist ing of niit mote than 450 regular troops,' were unable to withstand it, And consequently coin gelled to disperie ; that he had afterwards rallied the remains of his division, and retire:l4on An easter, on the Grand hirer, without being pur sued by the enemy, and where he had collected the scattered remains of his, force,. amounting to about 200 men, and had' with.. ir, sishsequently, reached Burlington-heights, the head-quarters of Major-General Vincent, Tccumseth, at 'the head of 1200 -Indian warriors, accompanied our 'little army on its retreat front sandwich, and the.Pro •phet, as well as his brother Tecuals , ;th, were o f the most essential service, in arreting for-; ther progress of the Americans ; but as to the ex tent of our loss 'on this oce4siOn, or the particu lars of this disastrous . affair, 1 urn, as igno rant ; INlajor4ieneral Proctor, having Signified to Major-General De Rotteuberg, 'commanding, in the Upper Provinces, that he had sent a'fiag of truce to General Harrison, to ascertain the fate of the officers and . soldiers who were missing, and requesting his indulgence for a few days until its return, in order to snake Isis official report. I al.;. so.fintlerstand, that the enemy, so far from at ',tempting to improve the advantage they had gained,. .by pursuing our troops on their retreat to.; the Grand River, had retired to Sandwich, followed by Tecinnseth and his warriors, who had much harassed 'them:-on their torch. Five or six hundred Indian's, belonging to the Eighth Division, are reported to have joined the Centre. 1 regret to say, that I am still without any offi cial account of Captain• Barclay's action on Lttka Eric', the result Of- which • has led to our relin quishment of the Michigan territory, excepting Illiebilimarkanac, and our absordonment of the posts in Upper Canada beyond the Grand River. I have, the honour.to be, GLI0001 , .; pIEVOST. Ext - ract of a Itepott from. Major-General . .Proetnr, to tomnt•General Sir George Prevost, dated Sandwich, Sep tember 21, 1513. I have the honour to acquaint your Excellencyp that the enemy have been reconnoitred•at and in . the vicinity of the islands, by alvflioer of the In dian departinclit in a birch canoe, who has seen seven vessels, some of them large, 'standing into Carrying Bay, situated between those 'of Sandus ky- andD.lianii, and soon after heard a salute fired of fifteen guos.%He also diScGvered in Tut-in Bay four large yessers,:with their' lower masts in, and two rigged vessels, One of which a gun-boat, came out, and chased the canoe. We must expect the enemy soon Ivith their increased naval force, which we most unfortunately have not the means of op posing with effect. Your Excellency will perceive that the enemy having the command of the, waters would be able to cut off my supplies, and my re treat, were I to remain 'in my present extensive pqsition. I have therefore determined to fall baCk, and to make a stand ott the Thames. I have succeeded in bringing the Indians ; I am iii ex pectation that. the principal part of them will ac company US. Many are arrivod at this side of the Straight .with their families, The enemy is*on the advance, and in very cOnsiderable force, ac companied by their small vessels and -gun-boats. It would be'too hazardous to fight them on the other side, as our retreat might be cut oil so • Ilead-quarters Montreal, Oct, 11. MY Loan,--T have the honour to announce to your Lordship the arrival•in the River Si. Lawrence, of the troop-ships named in the margin,* baring on board the two battalions of :Royal Marines, and the taro companies of Mprine Artillery attached to them, front Halifax, in consequence of a repre sentation whiela I had Made to Admiral Sir .1. B. Warren, requiring this reinforcement on account of the disaster that had befallen our fleet on Lake Erie', and the danger to which the right division of the twiny in Lipper Canada-was, exposed by that circumstance. • • By the latest , accounts from . Major-General Dc Rottenburg, dated at Kingston on the 25th instant. lum informed that the enemy still me naced that - post, but no attack had actually taken place. 'rile American Armatla, under Major-General Wilkinson and Commodore Channecy, was at Gre nadier Island on the '2Bth, within 18 miles of Kingston, where it had 'collected, after having been dispersed in its first. attenipt - f:om Sackett's Ilarbour to pasi over to. ktugstoa. The state of the wcather - prevanted the attack .of Major-General Hampton on the - lower province, and that of Major-General Wilkinson on Kingston, from being ‘shmtltaneous, as - Was expected.- I have tesson to hope their enterprise .against Kingston trill experience a similar fate to that Against Lower Canada, • • _ I have the honour to'be;tke.

Tl►e- loss of our fleet on Lake Erie, which I had the honour of reporting to.yo►rr Lordship, in my dispatch of the time of 2211 September last, tege : - ther with the increasing sickness among thetrocips of the centre division, a►nd the diminsition of the force iu Upper Canada, by the. different actions which had taken place; induced me to send an of ficer express to llalifax, with directions f?)r the embarkation of the second hattalicin of -marines, and the artillery company attached to it, which sailing from thence with a fair wind, and being much famine(' by. the weather; arrived in the Lawrence at the same. time With the othet batta lion, as I have already bad the honour of report-. ing to your Lord - ship. I have now the honour• of acquainting your Lordship, that both battalions, together with the. two companies of artillery and a rocket com pany, having beet► disembarked at Quebec., pro ceeded to this place, where part of them have alreany arrived. I have theisatisfaction to report to' your Lard ithip,the arrival at Quebec of thy talus, with tl;ree hmulred,seamen, and my.intention of liav ing them immediately forwarded front thence in the stearn-hoot. that I may, if possible, „et them to King. ton before the navigation of the river closes.' I have also received a report of a part of the 70th regiment being in the St. Lawrence,:.to gether with a fleet . ; havi•ig on board the remaititler, .which I cannot but consider as a peculiarly for tunate circumstance. • In my fornier dispatch I communicated to .your Lordship the • moVentent and disposition Of the.ene- , my's flotilla and force, upOittheir quitting Sackett's Harbour, on the 18th ultimo, and of their being on Grenadier-island, on the 28th ; I have n6w to infOrm you, that on the 29th, a part of this force was sent to Gravelly-point, where it was observed, on the 30th, to be employed in constructing huts ; but it is not 'improbable it may' haVe had some other object - in view, perhaps to proceed - down the river, and by landing at Gananoqui, to aid in a combined attack on t Kingston, which Major 7 Gene- Tal De Rottenberg still thought on the-30th, the 'date•of his last dispatches, was likely to te ke place. General Hampton's army has altogether quitted the Lower Province, and from the reports of the diffetent parties hanging on its rear, is retiring to its former encampment at the Four-Corners. I am happy to tell your bor:lship, that the sick ness amongst the troops is diminishing, and the convalescents numerous. 'The Lake fever has been the inost prevalent disorder, and has affected the officers more than the privates. MILITARY PROMOTIONS.
