PRICE SE rEN PEN CIL NUAIBE R 9419 stroo i d ; luarter EAST INDIA HOUSE, October 80, THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the UNITED COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENG LAND TRADING to the EAST INDIES, do hereby give: Notice, and found the name, Mary of Weymouth, painted on the stem of the ship's boat, and then he returned m his own vessel.— The shepherd was obliged to put into Newhaven to repair, and the Mary pursued her voyage, but before she reached her des tination, ahe foundered off the coast of' Yorkshire, and every soul on board perished. The wreck of her boat was afterwards picked up, with the name of the. 'vessel and the port to which she belonged painted 'on the stem. This was an outline of the case proved. : - The defence set up was, that the witnesses for the plaintiff ought not to be believed, inasmuch. the of the-cir cumstances of the case, as,nOw proved, was different from that in the Captain's protest, and aiso is conversations after the ac cident happened. Witnesses were called to prove these contradictions, but they only went to minor and collateral points, not at all varying the Substance of the statement now made by the plaintiff's witnesses. The Jury, Under the Learned Judge ' s directions, found their verdict for the plaintiff. Damages to be settled out of Court. CAMPAIGNS IN TIlE• CANADAS. offider, a period of total inectiotreasiied during the months of Jelly, August/ and September. On Lake Ontario the rival squiadrons were at sea during the greater part of-these. months, . The British- Commodore was far inferior in'numbers *, yet, notwithstanding the disparity, he - constantly endeavoured to bring his antagonist to close action, , But, though partial encounters ensued between the fleets on the 10th of August arid 11th of September; and a general engager merit of two hours followed on the 213th of the latter. month, the event was always indecisive,. • • • ' .-We now ,revert to the- important events which had mean- , while been in progress on the Detroit frontier and the other great lake of Erie,. -In the -Middle of January 1813, the grit!. any commenced offensive operations in the Michigan territory, and one - wing of their force'advanced towards the village of Frenchtown, on the river Raisid, 26 miles from Detroit. .This cart* of the enemy consisted of about - 1,200 men, and was corn... mended by Brigadier . General Winchester, an. old Officer wiia had served in "the revolutionary war, but was now, by the in , : trigues of cabinet influence,—,tor it. seems such things do really occur in the purity of Republican Government,—compelled ta serve under the orders : of his junior, Harrison. Piqued at this circumstance, and aware that the British force under the Proctor was far inferior to him in- numbers, Winchester, de, sirous of expelling his enemy from the Defroitbefore Harrison, with the main body of his army, could share in the-exploit, had moved forward to Frenchtown without awaiting ajunction with him. Colonel Procter was. still positively restricted by Sir George Prevost -from any .offensive operations, but he did not hesitate to seize the opportunity Which Winchester thus gave him of anticipating the designs of the enemy, before their whole numbers could unite. _Collecting, therefore, his motley force -of less than 500 regular troops, militia, and pro vnicial Sailors with four light guns, and a band of between and 680 Indians, under the N'tryandot chief, Roundhead, fie boldly advanced against the Americans, and surprized them befOre daylight, on the 22d of January, in their quafters at Frenchtown. The Indians had been sent round the rear to prevent escape, and when the troops attacked them in front, aboie half the Americans, who precipitately fled at the onset, hvere captured or destroyed in the woods by the warriors. The remainder, finding themselves thus cut of. from'retreat, made a desperate resistance among the buildings and enclosures of the village, and occasioned, severe loss to the troops before they yielded on assurance of quarter. General Winchester was . taken by Roundhead, who, decking himself in the - nnifbnn and ' hat of his prisoner, surrendered him to the British Commander. So complete was the discomfiture of the, enemy, that, by their ; own accounts, not above thirty individuals effected their escape. Every exertion.was made by Colonel Procter, and his troops to • save the vanquished enemy from the retaliation of the Indians, who were justly exasperated at the wanton cruelty which the Americans had exercised against their tribes ; a General, a Co lonel, and above 500 prisoners were taken. Colonel Procter, - having thus accomplished his object, returned to his stations on. the Detroit ; and the enemy under Harrison, though still power ful in numbers, were so dismayed by the destruction of General ' Winchester's corps, that they abandoned their intention of ad vancing, and began to fortify themselves with great expedition . 1 near the rapids of the Miami river, which falls into Lake Erie, abput 50 miles from Detroit. Here, 12 miles from the mouth of the river, they constructed an extensive,range ofstrong works, termed Fort 31eigs. - . The issue of , the action at Frenchtown had inspired such' confidence among the Indians, that many warlike tribes from - the river Wabash how entered-into a .close alliance with us,• and even the distant nations from the westward, es far as the Mississippi, prepared to move clown to take up the hatchet with their British Father. Among 'the Indians that joined- General Procter from the Wabash, was the highly gifted and ; celebrated chief, Tectunthe, who united in his person all those heroic qualities which romance has ever delighted to attribute - to the children of the forest,' and, with them, intelligence and - feelings that belonged not to the savage. He possessed such in. : fluence among his brethren that his presence was an acquisi, tion of the utmost importance. • Before the middle of April, Brigadier-General Procter had ascertained that the enemy were in expectation of considerable reinforcements and supplies, that they only awaited their arrival to commence offensive operations against him ; he therefore resblved to anticipate them again, before their numerical supeo riority should be still further increased. In ,consequence of this resolution, lie embarked his whole force of 520 regu• lars, and 460 militia, with some heavy artillery, on board the flotilla on Lake Erie, and, arriving - off the mouth of the ascended that river, alai lantleti his troops, stores, and. ordnance, on the 28th of April, within two miles of Fort Meigs, on the opposite bank of the river. The Indian war. riors who co-operated with him . in this , expedition were about 1200. . th, g s"e :: i'VeYw ° : t at morn f o rt, Diana ° a wa ter, aa ( Continued from Yesterday's &Tx.) We have already observed that, after 'suffering the summer and autumnal months of 1812 to escape without extracting the slightest advantage from our strength in shipping on Lake On tario, the Commander-in-Chief had started from his lethargy iii -the depth of the winter, and directed the rapid construction, of vessels for the lake service, with a view of regaining that supe riority which he had voluntarily yielded to the enemy. He at the same time moved in person from the lower province towards Kingston, and excited the expectations of the Canadian public, that he designed an attack upon Sackett's Harbour by march ing over the ice, which was stronger in that season than had been remembered for many years. It was known that the ship ping laid up at the enemy's station were very indifferently pro tected, and no doubt was entertained that Sir George would endeavour, to use the expressive language of the author of Ve ritas, " tic destroy the nest of hornets in their torpid state."— But the anxious Inhabitants of the provinces, who had witnessed his previous inactivity with gloomy forebodings, were again doomed to disappointment, and the winter passed without the expected attempt. - When the Comniander-in-Chief began to discover that the, naval supremacy on the lakes was not without its importance, he addressed an application to the Government at home, for a supply of officer and seamen of the Royal Navy to man the vessels which he was building. The request was immediately attended to—Sir James Yeo, an Officer of high reputation, was nominated Commodore on those waters, and dispatched with other officers, and 450 picked sailors, as soon as the season for landing at Quebec would permit. The promptitude of the Govamment at home was not confined to this supply of men for the ships. In the coarse of 1813, large detachments of artillery, a'regiment of light dragoons, nine strong battalions of infantry, and one of marines, all arrived in the Canadas ; ois and cannon and stores of every kind, both for Army anti Navy, were at the same time sent out even in larger quanti ties than soliCited by the Commander-in-Chief. When it is remembered that these powerful succours were extended to distant provinces of the empire, while the most gigantic con test that had ever occupied the attention of Europe, was suc cessfully maintained by Great Britain, we shall not know whe ther most to wonder at the magnitude of her resources, or to applaud the energy with which they were wielded. Such were the zeal and exertions of Sir James Yeo and his followers on their arrival at Kingston, that before the end of May they were prepared to take the Lake with the British fleet, now composed of two ships of 24 and 22 guns, a brig of 14, and two schooners of 12 and 10 guns. The absence of the enemy's naval force, employed in co-operating with their army on _the Niagara, offered a most advantageous opportunity for an attack upon Sackett's Harbour, and Sir George Prevost con sented to the formation of an expedition for the purpose, of which he,took the personal command. Sackett's Harbour was at this time protected only by two forts, on opposite sides of the port, which is small : the one stood on a low point of land at the entrance of the harbour; upon which was the dock-yard, where the enemy .had alarge frigate almost ready for launching ; the other was separated from it by the village at the bettom,of the bay, and near this village, in its rear, stood a range of loopholed log barracks flanked by blockhouses. After General Dearborn , had concentrated his principal force on tile 'Niagara frontier, the garrison of these works was composed altogether of about 700 regulars, with some militia.

This was an action brought to recover a sum of 5581. from the defendant under the following circumstances:—ln the year 1813, the defendant, who was a merchant residing at Rio Janeiro, and acted as.agcnt fir Cliesner, reccivet-fro ar,liim a letter, directing him to-appropriate - the - proceeds of the cargoes of.thd Venus and Sisters (belonging to Chesner) to various purposes, and, among others, to tliepayment of some advances which had been made to Chesner by the house of Messrs. M`lntosh and Wontnaby. Another letter added the cargo of the Martha to those of the Venus and Sisters, as property of Chesner's out of which these :advances were to be repaid. Before the cargo of the Martha .had been thus appropriated, Chesner wrote a third letter, di rected to the defendant, and indorsed " private," in which he countermanded the order as to the proceeds of the cargo of the Martha. The question was, whether, under these circum stances, the defendant having paid over to Messrs. M'lntosh and Wontnaby the amount of the proceeds of the Martha, he was not liable to repay it to the bankrupt's estate, the payment to Messrs. M'lntosh and Wontnaby having been made with out the bankrupt's authdrity. The Jury thought that there ,was not sufficient proof that the defendant had received the third letter before he thus ap propriated the motley, and they therefore returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 581. 16s. only, that being the sum admitted by the defendant to be due on a balance of accounts. uo p eac S o ut l° th 7, e, to Oterw er .w ;le, N". ,igbt pit, dge, p ith [lo o 9.,'„ e ro' to „ial ed"c' SMIRKE'S ILLUSTRATIONS OF LALLA ROOKH.

Mr. Serjeant PELT stated this to' be an action brought by the plaintiff, a respectable auctioneer, to recover the suns of 1691. being the amount of his commission on the saleof an estate talled'Edwin's Hall, in Essex, of which the defendants were trustees. The plaintiff had been employed to sell this estate, and he had valued it, had advertised it, and had put it up to auction, when the defendants thinking the sum offered (10,9001.) insufficient, had bought it in again. This happened on the 26th of June, and on the 3d of July following, the plaintiff re ceived a letter from Mr. Venner, directing him to proceed no further in the sale. On the sth of that month, the estate was sold by a friend of Mr. Venner's to a gentleman named Smith, for the sum of 11,7001. by private contract. The defendants had paid 791. into Court. The Learned Serjeant called Mr. Winstanley, Mr. Forrest, and Mr. Burrell, who stated it to be the general usage among auctioneers, to demand their commis sion under similar circumstances. LAW -INTgLLIGENCE: COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 31. London Sittings before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Special. Juries. HEN DERSON V. BE RE. - This was an action upon a contract, by which the defendant agreed to deliver to the plaintiff two Colombia Bonds, for 1,0001. each, at a certain price, and the declaration - alleged that the de fendant had refused to deliver the same. Mr. CAMPBELL and Mr. ADAMS were for the plaintiff, and Mr. MAILRYAT and Mr. PATTISON for the defendant.. The case stated was this :—The defendant, a foreigner, was a dealer in Foreig Securities. On the 6th of February hot, the plaintiff entered into a contract with the defendant, for the pur_ chase of two Colombia bonds, which were deliveredaeeording to contract. These were commodities which had lately risen to an enormous price in the money market ; formerly they were of little value. According to the usage in these transactions,. the contract is made on one day, and the delivery completed on the next. The two bonds above-mentioned had been sold at 67N per cent. and the bonds being delivered, the defendant paid the money ; and defendant being desirous of purchasing two more at the same price, another contract was entered into accordingly on the 7th of February, the money to be paid on the Bth. In .the afternoon of she 7th, and almost immediately after the con tract was entered into, news arrived in town that the Cortes of Spain had recognized the independence of the Colombian Re public. The effect of this information wasimmediately to raise the price of Colombia bonds from 69 jto 75 per cent. At the time of the contract the defendant had produced one bond, and promised to have the other ready by_the next day. Scarcely had the plaintiff arrived at his house in Norfolk-street, when he received a emote from the defendant, informing him respect fully that it was absolutely impossible for him to deliver more than one bond forbne thousand pounds, but without assigning any reason whatever for the breach of.contract. To this the plaintiff replied by letter, that it was rather awkward that the defendant should not have procured the other bond, as he had put a friend of his to great inconvenience in selling out stock to enable him to complete the purchase, concluding, " I therefore trust you will use your exertions by to-morrow."— In the evening the plaintifF'received another note from the defendant, stating that he had the pleasure to inform him that since the morning Colombia Bonds had risen from 69, to 75 per cent., and that no doubt they would be 80 per cent. by the morrow morning. To this the plaintiff rejoined by letter, that he should call on the following day with his money to complete the purchase, and that he expected the bonds to be then ready. Next day the plaintiff called, in company with his clerk, with the money, to complete the contract, but the defendant re fused to be bound by the bargain, suggesting that the plaintiff no doubt had a• suspicion that the news which had occasioned the rise in Colombia Bonds would arrive. In the course of the same day the plaintiff called again with his Attorney, and made a formal tender of the money, but the defendant refused to com plete, his contract, and therefore the present action was brought. The question was as to the amount of damages. Between the time of the contract and its breach, Colombia Bonds had risen from 694 to 89 per cent. and the plaintiff sought to recover the difference, amounting to 3451. Mr. West, a stock-broker, was called to prove the amount of the plaintiff's damages. Re spoke of the present rage for spe culating in foreign loans, and said that they were now more in demand even than Consols. Fose' ash side 'too L‘ ll "gorf / Nov an d 11'11' n• st ilt , o lo ' lo ' lsbY' an d 00,too Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the defendants, observed that the usage, thus attempted to be set up was rather extraordinary, and if it could be maintained, would go the length of fixing an auctioneer upon his employer in a kind of matrimonial alliance, not exceedingly agreeable to the latter. After he had been once retained he could not be discharged, nor Could his autho rity be revoked—unless the party paid him the whole of the com mission he would have been entitled to if the estate had been sold, and that, too, though the sale were not effected by him. Mr. George, Mr. John Robins, and Mr. Bromley, were then called to disprove this usage, but in their cross-examination they admitted, that if the person who bought the Estate by private contract had been originally induced to do so by the it exertions, they should expect their commission, otherwise, they should not think of charging it. Mr. Smith, _the gentleman who purchased, and Dir. Murray, who negociated the sale Of the property, then proyed that the Contract had not taken place in consequence of the public auction, Mr. Smith not having been 'informed of it' until the second interview with Mr. Murray. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS lett it the Jury to say, whether, under these circumstances, the 791., paid into Court was a suf ficient remuneration to the plaintiff for his trouble. The Jury found a verdict for the defendants. tj C °3c fou r frith. .l3 l° lgt te r ' ° l f t itt ,-5 13 ic . the J°' llo l . , t"6 f e• ie, 13°It fe o ri c heS, e' ° 3 :10S. , C „f o p, Cb ' y, 5t Ater' •VerY,` 4 ll3 o ' fle3U Fort Meigs was advantageously situated on some command: ing ground' on the right bank of the river ; the works, which were skilfully. disposed, mounted eighteen pieces of heavy Qrd nance, and contained a garrison by far more numerous than, the whole British and Canadian force of the assailants. Bat- • teries were, however, constructed on both sides of the river, and , continued an ..incessant fire upon the defences .from the lst.to the sth of May, with very little impression ; for though the 9-pounders threw red hot shot, it was Found impractible td set the block-houses in flames from the green state of the timber, • and the enemy were effectually covered from loss by numerous iav erses. I, the Er r• 'ti;11111) , .ver 7 ochy • OLD BAILEY, OCT. 31. All cases stated in the calendar having been gone through this day, the RECORDE a proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoners who had been convicted of,crimes. The following prisoners received sentence of death :—William Crouch, for stealing in a dwelling-house ; Charles Remington, William Holland, and . William Barnet, for burglary ; John. Smith, for housebreaking ; William Towshend, alias Pocock, for extorting money from a gentleman under a threat of charg ing him with horrible practices ; John Burroughs, for a highway robbery ; Edward Edridge, for a rape ; Henry Day, for forging the stamp placed upon silver ; Theodore Constan tine, Edv.-ard McWilliams George Brindle, Thomas ..Facey, William "Wilton, William Lester, John Caring, and Samuel Raven, for robbery in a dwelling-house. In passing sentence upon the above prisoners, the RE CORDER observed that those men who had been convicted of endeavouring to plunder their fellow.creatures by charging. them with crimes abhorrent to humanity, could have no hope of mercy. One convict was sentenced to transportation for 14 years, and 14 were ordered to be transported for 7 years. Several were directed to be imprisoned for various periods, from 14 days to a year; and some to be publicly whipped. The Sessions were adjourned to the 4th of December. 'ost sis bt The reinforcements long expected by ten. Harrison had in the mean time approached, and an the morning of the.sth, to: the number of 1,30 A men, under General Clay., made a rapid and sudden descent down the river in boats, aided by a sortie, from the place. For a moment the Brirish batteries were in the enemy's hands, and they made forty, prisoners, but the. troops, with their usual gallantry, instantly advancing, charged and repulsed them at the point of the bayonet, and their rout, to which the Indians greatly. contributed, soon became general. The slaughter was dreadful. The besiegers made above 450 prisoners, and the killed and wounded of the enemy probably amounted to as many more. ( I) t-C°' p.)9 itso t P :l7' I : l i 4' g id h " ° .

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he should be very willing to see an Act of Parliament placing Colombian Bonds, and other foreign securities, on the same footing with the public funds of this country, but he was clearly of opinion, in the absence of some authority to the contrary, that securities of this nature did not fat within the operation of the statute cited, and that the words of the statute applied only to the British funds. In this Court he did not know what Colombia Bonds were, whatever he might understand from general report. The Jury, therefore, under the Learned Judge's directions, found their verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 3451. SHARP V. MAY AND ANOTHER. This was an action against the defendants as owners of the ship Mary, for running down a brig of the plaintiff's, called the Shepherd. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. CAMPBELL were for the plaintiff, and Mr. (lA3E:LEE, Mr. TINDAL, and Mr. ROT CH were for the defendants. The plaintiff's vessel belonged to the port of Shoreham, and traded with coals from Newcastle ,to Brighton ; .and the de fendant's vessel, belonging to WeYmouth, was engaged in the same trade. In the month of November last, the plaintiff's vessel was employed in her homeward-bound, and the defend ant's on her outward-bound voyage. Between four and five o'clock in the morning of the 2d November, in Lincoln Deeps, 'the Mary wag discerned approaching the Shepherd with a brisk wind, the latter tacking to iriakelhe most, of a foul wind. The crew of the Mary hailed the Shepherd to steer clear, which alight have been easily effected by the slightest touch of the helm ; but, as was supposed, her crew were asleep, and not obey ing the call, the Shepherd was struck midships with a tremen dous blow, which staved her hull. In the shock the gib-boom of 'the Mary broke off; and her rigging became entangled with that of the Shepherd. The crew of the Shepherd endeavoured to as certain the names of the Mary and the Captain. The answer re ceived was, that she was the William of Portsmouth, Stevenson, master. The Captain of the Shepherd, who was acquainted with Portsmouth harbour; doubted the accuracy of this information, and determined to go on board, and whilst he was ascending 'the side for that purpose, the Captain came forward and said the real name of the vessel was, the Mary . of Weymouth. Finding that he had been deceived in the first instance, he per. . severed m going on board, and•ascertaining the name of the vessel with his own eyes, and accordingly' he obtained a light POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION-HALL.—SALE OF GOVERNMENT PLACES.--.YeS terday James Cook Clarkson was brought before L. B. ALLEN, Esq., for a final examination, on the charge of having obtained the sum of 1001. from John Anderson, under pretence of pro curing for him a situation in the Revenue. The former evi dence having been read over, yihich we have fully stated in our reports, The Magistrate observed that a case of obtaining money un der false pretences had been fully established against the pri soner. However, with respect-to the first sum of 291. which the prisoner had received from Anderson at his house in Penton place, as the latter did not in his evidence prove the fact of hav ing given that sum under the impression that the prisoner was to procure him a Government situation, he (the Magistrate) 'would dismis4 that . part of the charge and proceed on the fraud practised by the prisoner at the Griffin Tavern, on the 18th of October. Mr. 'Anderson begged to state a fact which he had omitted in his former examinations. The prisoner had, in. the last inter view with him, at the Griffin. Tavern. stated that he (the com plainant) was to have the oath of allegiance admi n i s t ere d to him that day. The Solicitor to the Treasury said that it was the determina tion of Government to proceed against the prisoner under the 49th of Geo. 111., cap. 126—namely, for receiving a sum of money from John Anderson under pretence of haying used his interest in obtaining an appointment for the said John Ander son to an office in the Treasury, contrary to the, form of the statute in that case made and provided. The Magistrate asked the prisoner again if he was acquaint ed with a party to whom he had alluded m his letter to the complainant. The Prisoner—l beg now to state that I have no knowledge or acquaintance whatever with any person belonging to that department; and I therefore exonerate all persons as to my having any claim or influence with them to procure a situation. The prisoner was then committed to Newgate. Bow-STREET.—Yesterday a man occasionally employed in the Courier Newspaper Office as a supernumerary compositor; was charged before Sir R. BIRNIE, the sitting Magistrate, with stealing several composing-sticks, the property of ene of the regular compositors of that paper, who attendee: and identi fied a composing-stick which was pledged at a pawnbroker's, .shop in Stanhope-street, Clare-market, the duplicate of which was found on the prisoner. He was committed for re-exa m .; ination. • * These crops were the 19th Light Dragoons, Royals, 13th, 2d battalion 41st, 70th, 69t1, 103 d, 104th, De neuron's and Wattevi3e% By the entire rout of Gen. Clay's reinforcement, the British Commander had gained his principal,object of crippling the enemy and preventing their advance towards the Detroit frontier; and he might now have continued the siege with every prospect of capturing Harrison and his force, if both the Indians and militia had not deserted the regular troops after the brilliant af, fair of the sth. It iscustomary withthe Indians in their desultory mode of warfare to proceed to their • villages after every ac• tion of importance, with their wounded, their prisoners, and plunder; and no entreaties could now dissuade them from re turning to the Detroit in pursuance Of - this practice. The militia, on their part, were anxious to return home to attend to their farms, and hefore the 7th above half their numb e r s had left camp, while the remainder declared their determine, Lion to-follow them. The General was therefore obliged to rest contented with having annihilated Harrison's reinforce: ments, and the siege was raised. The troops and flotilla having safely returned to the Detroit, General Procter occupied himself in settling our Indian allies in the conquered Michigan territory. It was. his desire to make all the uncultivated partsof it completely an indian count try and had he been suffered to fix the tribes permanently within the district, the most beneficial consequences must have ensued. The Michigan country would have become so strong a point d'appui for the western flank of the Canadian frontier, that, in a future contest, the enemy wo u ld never h ave ven tured to assail it. The Indians are not ignorant that their extinction is one of the prominent features of. American policy, and-nothing but good faith .on our part would . have been requisitd to ensure their adherence to us. Tecumthe and his followers , were already settled between the Rivers Raisin and Detroit,• and it was intended that the numerous • and war like bands from the Mississippi and. the shores of Lake Su perior, whose arrival was expected, should a l so b e p l ace d i n the ichigan Government. These tribes had been induced by a spirited and zealous individual, Mr, Robert Dickson, a respectable merchant engaged in the commerce of the North West country, and who possessed great influence with them, to come down with their warriors and families to take part against their merciless enemy. But the judicious measures which General Procter was adopting were entirely frustrated by the neglect of the Commander-in-Chief. The same dispatches which announced these arrangements to Sir George Prevost earnestly pointed out the pressing necessity of a larger force of regular troops to give due effect to them, and preserve the coun try,- which was thus capable of being converted into a *perma nent bulwark for the Upper Province. We have seen that Gen. Procter's regular force was not above 500 men, and not withstanding every solicitation it never exceeded that number until the opportunity of crushing the enemy had been totally lost. ( To be continued.) . , ' The difference in real force will be best understood by the fact, that the broadside of the American fleet would throw 1629 pounds of shot,. and , that of the. British only 1374 poundu Their squadron carried 1193 men, Alms 7}7, Every arrangement being complete, Sir James Yco's squa dron, having on board 751) regular troops, arrived. off Sackett's. Harbour about noon, on the 27th of May. The fleet lay to, the troops were ready in boats for the landing, and the Commo dore carried Sir George Prevost towards the shore, to recon noitre. After some suspence, the troops were ordered on board the vessels again, the ships put about, and the whole stood out on the return to Kingston.. Here was an example of the characteristic indecision of the Commander-in-Chief, and lie would have assuredly made no attempt to land on the Ameri can shore, if about fifty Indians who accompanied the expedi tion, and could. see no reason to abandon their enterprise, had not paddled in their canoes to attack some American soldiers. These men were accidentally coasting the lake in boats to Sac kett's, when our force appeared off the port, and had landed to avoid capture. As soon as they perceived the Indians approach ing, they hung out a white flag, and were brought off to the squadron by the boats of the men of war. This accident being received as a favourable omen, the Commander-in-Chief deter mined to stand back to Sackett's Harbour. He had lost nearly two days, and the wind was no longer fair for a naval co-ope ration against the forts ; but this was not necessary, and the assault would yet have succeeded if the generallail felt like his soldiers. The landing was made with the utmost. spirit; the troops separating in two columns, charged detachments of the enemy through the woods surrounding Sackett's Harbour, at the. point of the bayonet, and uniting again on the open ground before the works, drove in the whole American force which had there formed, to their loopholed barracks and forts. The enemy, in consternation, themselves set fire to their new frigate, their .naval barracks and arsenal, and destroyed the gun-brig and all the stores which they had recently brought from the capture of York. At this crisis, while the arsenal was in flames, the Ame ricans flying through the village, and no man among the as sailants doubted that success was within grasp, a momentary resistance, which was'rnade by a party of the enemy who, in the rout, bad sought refuge in the log barracks, was sufficient to produce a precipitate order from the Commander-in-Chief for the retreat of our force. Their gallant officers could with dif ficulty believe that it was the signal to retire which they heard ; it was obeyed with indignation and reluctance, and the troops withdrew to their boats in disappointment and shame at the dis grace with which their leader had covered them. As soon as the Americans could credit their senses that the British had retired, they. hastened to stop the conflagration.— Their frigate, being built of green wood, was saved before the fire had materially damaged her, but the navy barracks, all the stores brought from York, and.several buildings in the arsenal, were entirely consumed. How much reason they had to feli citate themselves at the escape which they owed to the miscon duct of ourCommander-in-Chief, may be gathered from the re marks of their countryman, Mr. Thomson. He observes, that had the.place been captured, Its effects would have been long and deplorably felt by the American Government. Immense quantities of naval and mil ' tary stores, which had,' from time to time, been collected at that depot ; the frames and timbers which had been prepared from the construction of vessels of war, and the rigging and armaments which had been forwarded thither for their final equipment ; as well as all , the army clothing, camp equigage, provisions, ammunition, and implements of war, which had ' been previously captured from the enemy, would have fallen in to hia hands. 'I he destruction of the batteries, the ship then onthe stocks, the extensive cantonments, and the public arsenal, have retarded the building of another naval force ; and that which was already on the lake in separate detachments, could have been intercepted, in its attempt to return, find might have been captured lin detail. The prize vessel which was then lying in the•harbour, and which had been taken by•the Americans, and the two United States' schooners, would have been certainly recaptured, and the whole energies of the American Government, added to their most vigorous and unwearried struggl,_-,inight never again have attained any prospect of an ascendency on the lake.'— (pp. 147, 148.) • • Sir George Prevost was beyond all doubt the immediate com mander of this expedition. • But he found it convenient:not to :appear in that chgraeter ; and the only detail of operations was in the shape of aionspatch from his Adjutant-General to him self, obligingly •coittnunleating what' was already sufficiently known to him. By this ingenious device; he in:same measure averted exposure of miscarriage from himself, and generously yielded his laurels, such as they were, to his grateful and sub missive follower. „ Sir James Yoe, after carrying Sir George and his force back to Kingston,.. prepared to proceed to the head of .the lake with reinforcements for Gen. Vincent, and the American Commodore, hastened into Sackett's Harbour before the British fleet should again appear on the waters, to equip the frigate which had been rescued from the flames. As soon as as our squadron joined Gen.. Vincent, the enemy, who had never quite recovered from their panic on the nocturnal surprize of their camp,. precipitately re treated, or rather fled along the lake shore, until they reached Fort George, where Dearborn, evacuating all the Canadian bank of the Niagara, shut himself up-in a strong entrenched camp with 5,000 men. The British army took up a position within a few miles of him, and Major-general De Rottenburgh (Gmeral Sheaffe's successor in the government of Upper Ca nada) assuming the command, as General. Vincent's superior
