Sin—From the circumstances of the war, I have . juded it .expedient to make a direct report to your hxcellency of:the operations mid present state in this district. in the 'expectation of being able to reach the enemy, who had taken post near the foot of the Rapids of the Aiituni, before the reinforcemens and 'supplies could . arrive, for Which only he waited to commence active operations against us, I determined to• attack.him without daily, and with every means in my ptivver ; but from the ne cessary preparations, and some untoward circum stances, it was not in my power to reach him within three weeks of the period I had proposed, and* which he might have been captured or de stroyed.—Fratn the incessant and heavy rains we experieneed,. and during Which our batteries were constructed, it was not until the morning of the Ist instant, the fifth day . after our arrival at the month of the river, twelve .iniles from the enemy, that our batteries could be opened. The enemy,,who occupied several acres of - com- Mantling grOund, strongly defended by block houses, and the batteries well ftAnished with ord nance,' hild, during our approach, so .'conipletely entrenched and• covered himself, as to render 1,1.0 - availing every effort of our artillery though well served, and in batteries most 'judiciously placed and constructed; under the able direction-of Cap* Dixon,Main Of the Royal 'Fmgineers; of 'Whose ability and unwearied zeal . „ sheivn particularly on this Occasion, I cannOt.sneak...tOo Though file attack 'has not atis‘'vered fully the I;,..usi.„l:.ossexeileiltieetley( h d„ ,f h e it'tk ,, em the satisfaction.to infut rtunate result of an attack "emy , aided ha.sally of most of their gar- Inade on th e nio . the.,fith inst. by a reinforcement which descended the river a cons?i tlerable diStance hi a very short time, consisting of e9rPs, Dudley's and Roswell's, amounting to.. "e th . onsand tifree hUndred Olen, undo' the corn tunnel of Brigadier-General . Green Clay. The, at- , tack was very sudden, and ott both sides of the ri ver. The enemy were for a few inimitjs in pos•.- session oi our batteries, and'took some prisoners.' After a severe contest, though not of long conti , ' nuance, the enemy gave way, and, exeept the body of those who. sullied front the fall, iuttst have b een mostly killed or taken. In this decisiVe affair, the Oirkers and mep of the 41st regiment, Who charged and rooted the enemy Oar the batteries, well mlintained the long established'reptitation of - the carps.. Where all de serve praise, it is difficult to distinguish. ' ;Captain Muir, an old Officer, who had seen notch service, thegood fortune to be in the immediate. com mand of these brave men., Besides niyobligations to Captain Chambers,for his. unwearied 'exertions preparatory to, and on the expedition, as Deputy 'Assistant Quarter-Master-General, I have to the his gallant conduct in attacking the enemy near the- batteries at the point of the bayoneta service in which he was well 'supported by Lieti tenants Bullock aria Clement's of , the 41st, , and Lieutenant Le .11rettin of th'e Royal Newfoundland regiment. The courage and tictiii4 displayed through the whole scene Of action by, the Indian Chiefs and warriors, contributed .largely to our success. 1 have not been able to ascertain the amount of prisonerS in possession of the Indians., I have sent -off, agreeable to agreeineut, nearly five hundred prisoners to the river Huron, near Sandusky. ' I have. proposed an exchange, which is referred to the American Government. 1 could not ascertain the amount of the enemy's loss from the extent of the scene of ac tion, and mostly,in the woods. 1 conceive his'ioss in killed and prisoners.' to hate-been between tine, thousand 'and twelve hundred. men. These unfor.-, Atnotte people were not volunteers,,antr complete Kentucky'S quota. lithe enemy had been mittek to receive his reinforcements' and stinplies uoa4turtied, I should haVe had, at this critical juncture, to contend With -him tor Detroit,, or per ..haps on this shore., Ihad.not the option of retaining ,•ay situation ,on the Miami. Half of the militia' bad left us. I received a deputation from the Chiefs, counselling Me to return, as they could, not prevent their people, de rvas their custom after tiny battle of - co nsequence, rettirning to their villages with their wounded, their prisoners and plunder, of which t hey b u d taken a considerable quantity in the boats of the enemy.. Before the ordnance could be withdrawn from the batteries, I Was left with Tecunorth and less .than twenty Chiefs and warrors, a circimistaeCe is laiclt strongly proves that, , mitier present ciream ,l stances at least, our Indian force is not a dispos. a w e o ne, or permanent, ,though occasionally as most powerful aid. I. have, however, brought off all the ordnance ; and indeed have nottelt any thing beh ad ; part of the ordnauce is embarked nnder the fire of the enemy. The service on which we'' were employed has b e en, (hough short, a very severe one ; and too much praise paorot given to both oMccri ;112,1 men; for the cheerfulness with which on cycl..y neengion they oretflie service.
