The following are a few further gleanings from the American Papers to the 22(1 ult.:— The Official Report of Captain SINCLAtIt, the American Commander, of the failure of his at tack on Michilimakinac, contains the following statement :—"Michilitnakiime is, by nature, a per fect Gibraltar, being a high inaccessible rock on .every side, except the west, from which to the heights, you have near'two miles to pass through a .wood, so thick that our men were shot in every direction, and within a few yards of them, without being able to see the Indians who did it ; anti a height was scarcely gained before there was another within 50 or 100 yards commanding it, where breast-works were erected, and cannon opened on them. Several of those were charged, and the enemy driven from them ; but it was soon found, the further our troops advanced, the stronger the enemy became, and the weaker and more be wildered our force were : several of the commanding officers were picked out, and killed or wounded bythe savages,without seeing any of I hem. Th e men were getting lust, aadfalling into confusion natural under such circumstances, which demanded an immediate . retreat, or a total defeat and general massacre !mist have ensued. This was conducted in a masterly manner by Colonel CROGHAN, who had lost the aid of that valuable and ever to be lamented Offi cer, Major lloLmcs, who, with Capt. VANHOUN, was killed by the Indians." Captain SINCLAIR, however, adds, that be had captured two or three vessels, some with Indian goods, and others with provisions ; that he had blockaded the only rivers by which the place could be supplied ; and that in consequence of these circumstances, Fort Mackinac must ultimately be starved into a surrender. ,ft letter from LiCtlteMtilt COLTKLING to Capt. KENNEDY, dated Fort George, Aug. I I, announces the capture of. the American vessels Ohio and Somers by some British row-boats, af ter a smart action, in which several Americans were killed and wounded. The British loss is !aid to have been in equal proportion.''. . W...., . ',7:!`-• . • • r. r. :,. .1.,: . . 'ft t ' 41 OCTOBER 27, 1814. HAMBURGII MAILS. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 15.—The courier Glass has this morning brought from London the ratifica tion of the Peace concluded between Denmark and Spain, which was exchanged at London Sept. 27, between the Danish Minister and the Duke of Monte Llano, Minister of the King of Spain. As we are now at peace with all the Powers of - Europe, it is hoped that our paper money will rise in value, particularly as we hear that the army, which has been the greatest charge on the Treasury, will be greatly reduced. GOTTENBUIHIH, OCT.• 7.—The following addi tional Articles to the Convention of Moss, of the 14th of August, 1814, have appeared here : " His Royal Highness Prince Christian de -dares, that he will, without any reserve, give up all authority into the bands of the nation, and that be will, for this purpose, assemble the Diet. As soon as it shall be assembled, he will renew this declaration, and publish it throughout all Norway. " His Royal Highness will then quit Norway, even though the Diet should wish his stay there to be protracted. " Prince Christian • will give this promise in writing." [Here follows the signatures.] PARTICULAR AND SECRET ARTICLES. " His Royal Highness Prince Christian will, under some pretext, immediately intrust his au thority to the Council of State, which shall retain it till the conclusion of the Diet. Tl►e Council of State will regulate its pro ceedings in conformity to the Constitution. Till the Diet meets, it will sign all public acts." DECLARATION'. I declare, and solemnly hind myself to give up the Execu tive Authority into the hands of the Nation, without any reserve whatsoever. 1 will renew this declaration as soon as the Diet. shall he assembled. Then I will leave Norway, even if the Diet should wish my stay to he prolong ed. (Signed) criaisrn AN ' FREDERICK. •• To his Majesty King of Sweden. [I-lere follows the Pro c l am ati on t o the Norwegians, already published, in which be explains the reasons of his conduct.] PECLAR:VI'ION OF THE CROWN PRINCE. We, Charles JOhn, CroWn Prince of Sweden and Norway, by virtue of the full powers en trusted to us by his Majesty the fling of Sweden and Norway, declare, 1. That We, in the name of his Majesty the.Kingof Sweden and Norway, accept the Constitution decreed at Eidswold, and none but the most necessary changes shall take place. 2. His Majesty the king of Sweden grants an entire am nesty, without distinction of rank or persons. 3. All Norwegians (Military probably omitted by mistake) or Civil Authorities, shall be treated with due respect. CHARLES JOHN. Head-quarters at Frederickstadt, Aug. 10. BEnLIN, OCT. 15. —The 54th division of French prisoners of war, consisting of 16 Of ficers and 250 men,has passed orono this city. The Emperor Alexander has conferred on M. Kotzebue the Order of St. Anne, with the decla ration that " he had merited this honour by the perseverance with which he combated the perni cious principles of the late French Government." [RECF.IVED THIS MORNING.] BRANDENBURG, OCT. 15.—The preparations for the solemn reception of the Sovereigns, our Al lies, at Berlin, are prosecuted with unabating ac- tivity. His Mmjesty the King of, Denmark .is also expected, and will reside at the palace of Montijou. Letters from Viennasay, that the bonds of friendship and esteem between our King and his Danish Majesty are daily strengthened. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 18.—The private letters from Norway are all very satisfactory respecting the tranquillity that reigns there ; the Swedes do every thing to convince the Norwegians that the Swedish Government is mild and benilicent, and that the Swedish nation does net merit the hatred which its enemies have tried to excite. The real - illness of Prince Christian has bin dred his coming here, but he has long given up all attention to business. The Post to Norway -is not regularly established. The importation to that country has been so great, that several vessels laden with provisions have returned hither with their cargoes. VIENNA, OCT. 12.—The approaching tour of the Sovereigns to Hungary will be the signal for the departure of the inferior Princes, whose pre sence is not necessary at the Congress. How long the Sovereigns %will remain is uncertain, though many considerable persons in their suite seem to be preparing for their speedy departure. According to private letters from Turkey, the Sultan has taken the bold resolution, and successfully executed it, to re-establish the Nizam Gedid. It is remembered what great troubles and what an unhappy catastrorhe were caused Sultan Selim, and at the fall of Buadcr, by this plan to place the Turkish army more on the Eu ropean footing. This time it is said to have fully succeeded, with no opposition of consequence. FRANKFORT, OCT. 17.--We are assured upon authority that may be depended upon, that King Joachim is at this moment engaged in negocia tions of the highest importance with the Allied Sovereigns at the Congress. The 18th October has been celebrated with great solemnity in all parts of Germany. P EPRICr SIXPENCE-HALFPENNY: --: COURT-MARTIAL oN COLONEL QUINTIN, (Coutitaued from our Painr of yesterday.) TUESDAY-THE SECOND DAY. Setjeant Merchant.—" I recollect that, on the 10th of January, the remainder of the regiment was stationed Opposite to the church at Macoy, while a part was foraging : I could -see the troops foraging : the firing began just before we came to the church : we were within range of the shot : saw the French come down the bill, and after wards saw them and the Spanish piquet firing • sharply at each other : Colonel Quintin passed me once or twice at this time, looking towards the enemy : I could sec part of our men engaged. • The firing was small t shot, very quick, hut no vol ley : Colonel Quintin or•deretl the regiment to file_ to the rear up the hill : the foragers went on : the foraging party was skirmishing at the time when the main body Was ordered to file to the rear."- Serjeant Ilodges.—" I recollect the main body of ,the regiment being stationed oppoSite the church of Macoy, while the foraging party was in the valley : the firing began while the foraging was going on : it was the troop of Captain Fitz- Clarence which I saw foraging : I saw the French come down the hill to attack the foragers, but did not see the foragers engaged : I was distant from them about a quarter of a mile : at the time of the firing Col. Quillen) ordered the regiment to file to the rear : I was in the rear : Col. Quintin placed himself in the front." Questioned by the Court.—The regiment march ed about two miles before it stopped : he did not know when the foraging party joined : when they' filed to the rear the foragers were left behind. Seijeant Farr, of the 15th Hussars was then called•—" I was setjeant of the picket at the.. church of Macoy on the 10th of January : I re member the troops of the 10th regiment retreat ing past my piquet : 1 saw Col. Quintin at . the head of theSe troops : 1 heard bins say, he was doubtful of the squadron in time valley, and was fearful of its being taken. I reported what he said to Brigade• Major Jones. I did not see the foragers attacked : 1 saw the attack on the Spa nish piquet. The prosecutor (Col. Palmer) here announced, that the evidence on the first charge was now fi nished. Before he proceeded to the second, must say a few words on the absence of one whom he considered as a material witness : he meant the Duke de Guiche, who had lately been senior Captain of the regiment. Col. Elley was then called.—" I was Assistant , Adjutant-General to . the army in the Peninsula during seven campaigni :up to this year : I recol lect the 10th FRISSitI'S liirMing'the advance of tl► centre column' the morning 'after • the battle of Orthes : . their duty was to push the rear of flies enemy with as 'much celerity as possible; they acre in pursuit of the main column of the ebethy. Lord Wellington was with the centre column.: I was with him at one period of the morning, an i Conveyed orders 'from him to .the Lieut.-General commanding the• cavalry, to - press the enemy as miich as'possible, to'prevent their destruction of several small bridges on the high road' Frani the experience which 1 have had of cavalry ser vice, I am of opinion, that 'the greatest energy, activity, and zeal are necessary in the Commanding Officer •f light troops. Colonel Palmer here asked the witness what was the, proper post for a Commanding Officer. When a regiment was. advancing upon an enemy ..The JUDGE ADVOCATE submitted to the Cotirt, whether this question was not too general : it waN a niatter . of opinion on which the Court werct themselves competent to judge without the-opi nion of the witness, especially as there were seve ral caValry Officers present. Colonel Palmer said, that if such was the feel ing of the Court, he must submit, though Nvith great reluctance ; because he conceived that Col. Elley, from his great experience, having been•in every battle on the continent, was the pirsun most peculiarly competent to give a judgment on the subject in question. Colonel Elley then withdrew. Lieutenant Eversfield.—" I was with the regi ment the day after the biittle of Orthes : I was with the advanced guard : on proceeding forward I observed the enemy superintending some pe,,- sants who were destroying a bridge': Sir Staple ton Cotton came up, and ordered some guns ro be brought forward, and fired upon them, whi r l, 'dispersed them : Sir Stapleton Cotton and myself then crossed the river, andi was ordered to go forward and reconnoitre : I proceeded, and saw at a distance the rear squadron of the enemy form ing, with their skirmishers thrown out. I sent baak to the main body to report and for a rein forcement, as I had but two or three men with mc. A reinforcement of about ten men came up, an:l we skirmished with the enemy for about half au hour. -I was there joined by. Col. Palmer alum. and we went on pushing the enemy as well as we could. Captain Harding came up, with an order to charge the enemy ; the supporting body was then trotting up quick-pace, with Colonel .Qain tin ; the enemy, at that time, seeing our inten tion, called in their skirmishers, and trotted oil . . The advanced body then consisted of Colonel Pal mer, Captain Harding, Mr. Fitzgerald, Captain Fitzclarence, myself, and five or six men :.we were between fitty and an hundred yards a-head of our supporting squadron. The enemy was dis tant about two hundred yards. The enemy was formed again, and we advanced upon them : I looked back and saw Colonel Qnintin, and bear:l him say to his squadron, " Not so fast—trot, trot." At this time we in advance were galloping, and coming up fast with the enemy : we halteit and then charged under the COMlnatld of CM, Pal- Hier : at the time that our swords clashed, the st%:-
