" Head-quarters at Verrettes, nit. 26, ISI4, Year 11. rtrt'OßT OF THE . PItINCE OF MIRE TO TILE KING. " hare the satisfaction to submit to your Majesty the details of the glorious' opera . tionf of the army, and the taking of Fort Saboti rin, Lr as!:ault, from the rebels. Being informed by several reports that the enemy occupied in force.the position of -..:abottrin, and that he had there entre .elied and:fortified himself by placing arti-lery in hjs fortifications ; that the rebel Co - lisnels Jean, Dugotier, mid Vrangois had assein bluff troops there ; that the runaway, Alexis na zi'', Ex-Commandant of the Mountain of Arca haye, had joined them with .his hOrde ; that this post, thus fortified and . garrisoned, served as an advanced guard for the rebels of Port-aux-Crimes, to give them the alarm, and apprise them of our movements. " resolved to attack them in their lurking place, to cat r•y the tort lq a coup-de-main, and to confound their'projects by overthrowing and to tally demolishing theii• works. " I made o,y dispositions without delay I or detvil the Doke of Artibonite to hold himself in rf , ridiness to open the campaign with his corps d'umuce; which I composed with•trOops . stationed at the Little River and Verret res. The like orders were given to the• Dirke of the Great River, to hold himself in .readiness to imirch with the corps of reserve cantooed xt St. .INlark. "'Atl my precautions were taken:: on the 21st I commenced my march fOr the Mountain of Ai. cahaye, a ith the Duke of Artibouite, command ing the first corps ; and I ordered the Duke of the Great Wye'. to push rapidly by the high road, upon Arcirbaye with the second corps &armee tin der hi. command. The same day I halted at the aaiiip 01 . Valadon, and'at two in the morning of tiie 22d continued my match for the plain of Area haye ; at ien the army debouched in' the plain and vffected its jutiction with the second corps : at three P. M. I made 'my .dispoyitions for attacking - the euemy with' success on the 23d. directed :lily columns accordingly, ordering the Duke of Artibonite to haSten his march to proceed during the night over the summit of the chain of the Alorne sif Sahourin, and to post himself on road which leads from the Stinking - Spring to - Cibert, to turn the enemy, and cut off his retreat to the Port-aux-'crimes. " lordcred-the Doke of the Great River to maneenvre on the high road,. With the second corps to oppose any succours which the enemy ;might send from Port-Anx-Crimes. " I arraoi.;eil the corps of cavalry on the left, to support it On a growl(' a d a pt e d to a cava l ry en•;.; , ag,-ment ; h directed the regiment of.St.Mark, uncle'. the COMI11,)11.d of Col. Chevalier de Rene Sembic, to ocenpy the excellent position of the old fort of . Cabaret, and the high road leading from Prince House, to Port-aux• Crimes. • " by these measures; all the communications of the rebels were entirely cut ooh; and I have every reason to praise the celerity and precision with which these movements were executed. " On the 23d the enemy had concentrated all 'his forces at Fort 6abonrin : I ordered the Duke of Artibunite to attack him, and to carry his posi tion by assault and by main force, with the under . mentioned tioops . INFANTRY. Ist battalion of the regiment of Areahriye. 2d battalion of 21 regiment regiment of Artib u nite. Ist battalion of tlfr regiment of St. Mark. 2d battalion of the regiment of Port da Pais. Ist' battalion of the regiment of Gonaives. 3d battalion of the regiment of Verrettei. 2d battalion of the re-giment of the Great River. 2d battalion of the regiment of Trot:. CAVALRY. One company of the Prince Royal's Light Horse. One company of the King's regiment of cavalry, under the cuimnaud of Sul-Lieutenant Chevalier de Marc. The trio corps d'armee, and the corps of ca valry remained in observation in their . respective positions, ready to repel the enemy on whatever side he might presett himself. The .buit: - .of Artibonite; after making his dispositions for the attack, ordered the fort t:o be carried at the point of the bayonet : in vain the enemy made a most vigorous resistance, keeping up an incessant 'Ere of artillery and musketry ; no thing could withstand the exalted valour of your Majesty's troops. All obstacles—the ditt:hes, and the lectottbts which defended the fort, were. sur mounted with intrepidity; and carried by assault ; those who escaped the bayonets of the infantry, fell under the sabre of the cavalry, by whom they were cut in pieces. " The victory was complete ; the 'artillery, arms, bagkage, and ammunition,- fell into our power ; a great number of rebels bit the dust ; the fort and its environs were strm*ied with their carcasses, among which were recognised theiro nies, of Franeois, , Cole nel of the' 3d regiment of the Rebels, and several wiser Officers of distiry:- Tion, who atoned with their lives for their detest -able rebellion. " We have taken a griat number of prisoners ; jean Dugotier, their Colonel-Commandant, and Aiekis Kazin, Ex-Commandant of the Mountain of Arcahaye, ure among the number. Out of the wh o l e baud, which amounted to not less than froni twelve to fifteen hundred men, officers and soldiers:, according to the returns found among. their papers, not one has escaped ; they have ail Callen into our power, or have e-xp . vited with their lives the horrid crime of daring to right against their country, tileir King, and their fellow-citizens. Permit me, Sire, to represent to your Ma irsty, the .great and important obligations which I owe to the Duke of Artibonite, and to the Duke of the 'Greta River, for the invaluable assistance which they a .,: fl orded me ou that day, with all the zeal and entire devotion which they' feel for, yOur :Majesty's service. •• I also beg your Majesty to'p e , ln i t me to make mention of the good conduct, intelligence, ,acid intreptuity of Lt;nt.-Coionel 'Chevalier de Dtatont.

" Lientenaot 7 Colonel 7.:44. 1 , of the re giment, of :Ircalaye, died glorionfdy on the field of honour. Onr . hiss was only 16 killed and 40 wounded. - " The troops engaged in the• as3ault displayed the greatest valour ; Generals, Oilioers, and sol diet s, all did their duty ; the excellent spirit, dis cipline, and ardour which prevailed, %vitt ever be to the army as a sure pledge of victory. The rebels of Port-aux-Crimes may be said to have been quiet svectators of the destruction of Port Sabourin and its garrison ; they might have sent succours, whiCh woold have reached it in less than foue" hours, but they prudently kept within their walls. I deeply regret . , and the army shares this feeling, that they thirst not venture to chew. themselves ; can assure your Majesty, it they had, we should have given a gootl.aceount . of them.. " Subjoined I submit to your :Majesty a state., mem of the atillery, arms, and ammunition, taken by us from the rebels, and the -enrrespon drtiee•of their Chids, which likewise fell into our hands.

Nottvot.%, AUG.- 17.—We _cony the• following from The Enquirer of Sitarday last, with a view that sn-o h part of our ri• kri as do uo see the administration papers, way k , low the sentiments . of those papvrs, far as they ,deem it prudent to go at prt.seut • 'IIIE E 1) TOR. WaNliington, Aug. ;3, 1814. __. •► _ Dear Sir,--You will perceive•by the Intelli gencer ()Obis 'owning that Congress are to asserti ble. The causes assigned are as various as such an event might lead us to expect.' " The report of the morning here, most _cre dited by persons generally, is, that Government have received by the last arrival - farm England the features of the terms on which. the British Goy vertoneu► are disposed to make peace. Those terms, it is said, go to deprive a certain part of our countrymen of particular rights and privi leges---and that they will tall most heavily on that section of the community that least expects it. The fisheries, iris said, the British intend to insist on having altogether ! The lakes, also ! and they will insist, says the report, upon such trammelling conditiOns as will effectually deprive Hs of any benefit of the trade to China and the East Indies. Onr commerce, say they, to those parts of the world, kill not be prohibited : hat it must be regulated in the British custom-houses there, and in London. Impressment, how that the European wars are at an end, they are willing to accommodate. Should this report have a ny truth in it, the . cause for which the war .has for some time been prosecuted will be at an endt But although the Eastern Section of the Country has not behaved towards the others in a proper manner, (to speak mildly), I hope their rights, which are the rights of the ‘‘bole,mltion, will be 'defended to the last. It would be, nnire honourable to the republican party, as it would be a return of good for evil." It appears the great subject of, Impressment - is to be put to rest, by the termination of the war in ,Europe ; " free ships- to snake free goods," and " paper blockades," are no •more heard of.- But it is possible the enemy means to demand a _surrender of some, of our rights. The trade to India, and the privilege of curing fish on the shores of the British provinces, appear not 'Consi dered by The Enquirer as among our rights;' course, they Will not be contended for.. The right of ..fisising r om the banks of Newfwandland is • among the rights we will. not surrender. The Lakes—We will not give up the [.ekes'; it is to . . be hoped . not'; but if -The Enquirer speaks the sentiments of the.Administration i they are ready to agree to any " res.trietions that are reciprocal. — What is meant by reciprocal restrictions: we do not understand ; unless that neither party shell have a naval force on the LAkes ; :that neither party shall erect forti:ications, or station troops within a cer-. tain distance of the shores of.the Lakes ; if these restrictions are agreed to, the enemy will he per fectly secure in the posSession of the canadas. CALL CONGRESS,----Til is measure,about which, • so muo.l has been said, and Somme!) will be con jectured, does not, in our opinion, up on - the face of if , point out one thing or the other. We were aware, some time since, that the call would be made in the course of a few weeks- 7 mA we really expected at that time it WoUld be made ere •this. We were then told, 'that the call .would .be cal culated to meet either the 'contingency of peace or war;--if peace, that the Senate might pass upon the treaty Which our commissioners might agree to, and that both branches might shape our commer- 7 dal laws according to the provisions of the treaty; —if war, that Congress might be ready to adopt such measures as were best calculated to give it vigour and success. The call does not, therefore, appear On the 'face of it to sbow that the d'ie, is cast one way or the other ; or that the President has received such information as may enable him to judge bow the die is to be cast. The only thing which seems to point .out any conelasion is the time of meeting, as before the lOth of Sep tember the President seems to look for some de finitive information-from our Commissioners. Conjecture, however, seems as busy at Wash ington as it is here; for various teasOns'bre there assigned for the measure, as if the general one, which wu have given, is•not sufficient. We have llttle doubt, indeed, that the President may have received, scsme information from oor Ministers in London ; and •lie • may form some conjecture of Lie probable issue of the negociatiou. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1314. We have already stated that a very considerable rednction of oulnilitary Force was intended. The following is an accurate list of the second and third battalions 'which are to be reduced on the 24th of the . present month 15th Foot 18th ditto 2211 ditto 2311 ditto . .• . . 24th ditto 25th ditto 96th ditto 31st ditto . . . . - ditto 32d ditto 36th ditto 35th ditto 41st , ditto . . • . • 42d ditto ditto 45th ditto 49th ditto • ditto 50th ditto . . . . 56th ditto : 3d ditto 61st ditto . . . . • 6311 ditto . . 7 . ditto , 86th ditto, . . . . . . ditto .7 9(2d ditto 96th ditto Qd Battalion ditto The King's German Legion, except the Ist and 2(1 light hattalions,is also to be reduced at the same t►me. The Brunswick Infantry are to embark shortly for the Continent. The article front the Paris Paper, the Journal des Debuts, which we inserted in THE SCIt7I of yes terday, requires in justice d more distinct notice than we were then enabled to bestow upon it. We trust we need not preface these remarks by appell ing to the candour with which We are disposed to construe every matter which issues from the Fo reign, Press—We are ready to make every proper allowance for difference of views and opinions, and Fare not certainly among the number of those who blaze forth with unmitigated fury, whenever they 'discover sentiments which dr, not accord with British feelings in a French or Spanish Newspaper., We no more eXpect that they should possess this tone, than that they should desire us to enforce objects more conge nial to the wishes of other countries than our own. But there is something excesssively insi dious and unjust in the Essay to which we refer. A vein of unmeaning compliment is interwoven with as unfounded and malignant an attack upon British character, and as indecorous a tissue of exaggeration and misrepresentation of the con duct of our force at Washington, as we ever pe rused ; nor does the Galliwaufrey of flattery in which it is served up tend to render its. noxious ingredients a whit more palateable to our taste. Where did the. Writer find that Washington was " pillaged and, devastated," and that the " prin ciples of humanity" were " lost sight of ?" As suredly not in the British Gazette account of the fair—and, as certainly, notin tjieAznerican Journals ri ioli cn4'- themselves, which have describe d it• 14- le e n li n " c t ' that we have acted " like Pirecs to e:. i re' ~tgli 1 1 , on a coast to ravage it, and then pr"'' l ` . s ole i n avargatettenre)itlittl.ttielts at is false in fact, becaus e ' II ' !O n ' embark;" is as false in fact, a s it is i i " o te : r' lte sil l.
