nAiLv cantles OF VIE ARMY, DEC. 5.

The expedition against Fort Dauphin, under
command of the General of Division, CLAUrEL,
presented itself before that place, on the Ist of this
month, at two o'clock p. 01 . The brigands have
every where resisted ; but the National vessels have
placed themselves, with so much promptitude and
adroitness, to cannonade the forts, and proted the
descent, that the landing was effected in a body,
and with such promptitude, that the enemy was
driven backwards at all points. The pursuit was
fcillowed up with such vivacity, that the enemy
were constrained to abandon their artillery, which
they were carrying away, and had only tizr.2 to set
fire to fire 'frit:3M Any further progress of the fire
was stopped by the activity of the troops ; twenty-
five pieces of artillery, without reelconing tliose of
Fort St. Joseph, have fallen into our power. The
loss cf the revolters has been considerable, and
we have been so happy as not to lose a single
man. We have found the magazines filled with
different stores. _ _

The General of, Division, CLAUSEI., is 11:gbly
pleased with the General of Brigade, LAVA LYTT
and with the zeal and intrepidity of the officers
and soldiers of the 86th dczni-brigade.
The marine force, commandcd by the Captain
of the Hannibal, GuaLzmEr, having under orders
L'ilinlsuralle, La Guerrirre, and the corvette La
Sagsnl, hath seconded this expedition in every
point, and not a little contributed to its brilliant

success.

The General in Chief testifies his entire satisfac-
tion to the land and wa-ofilceis who have had a
share in this expedition, and decrees, as a national
recompense, certain honorable distinctions, and
makes a number of promotions accordingly.-

On the 18th inst. at break of day, we had a very
serious affair at the Mole. The Brigands attacked
at all points at once. They forced a small post,
which fell back, and they entered the town with the
cavalry, but the contest was not of long continu-
ance. Three-quarters of an hour were suffickra to
put them to rout; 168 were killed, and a great many
wounded, who were found next day in the thickets,
where they were put to death. The darkness oc-
casioned a little confusion, which say, d many of
them. These wretches stole at night into the thick-
ets, which were very h;gh. The Brigands, within
these few days, attacked Leogane, but were repulsed
with great loss. The engagement lasted 13 hours.
It must make us tranquil at present to reflex, that
the Brigands have been well repulsed in all their
attacks, that their number is diminishing, and that
there is no longer any favour or pardon for them.
