I..rfract of a Dispatch
.frana Lord Burghitsh, dated ha, Sur Seim,
February 6, fit .1,
drive the satisfaction in being able to report to your Lordship, that
the ads anceit-guar d of (;•-n. D'Yrnik inane yesterday a successful at-
tack upon the rear of Marshal Macdonald's artily near La Chaussse,
between Vitry and Chalons. Three cannon end several hundred pri-
soners were taken by the Allies; the enemy was pursued on the road to
Chalons.

I aro sorry to have to report to your Lord-hip, that Gen. Colored°
was yesterelay wounded, wink reconnoitring the euesoys posiiion,upon
the Beret: Although the wound is nut coosider(l4l daugerous, vet tilt
whole arms, will lament the necessary absence of that gallant awl
ottictr from his active duties in tit! Skid in this important mo-
ment.

This Supplement likewi,e COW U.VIS a dispatch from General Sir G.
Prevost, enclosi►►g Colonel Murray's report to.Major-General Vincent,
01 his having taken possession of Fort George, at Niagara, oti the I'2lls
Dec. /813, without opposition. The to%n of Newark had been wan-
toi►ly reduced to ashes by the Americans, after their repeated protesta-
tian• to protect private property.--“ I have much satisfaction, in add-
ilia to my rep rt." buys Sir (J. Prevost, " that the promptituJe with
which Col. Murray executed this service, has been the means of rescu-
ing-a fertile and extensive district from premeditated plunder, and its•
to‘al inhabitants from further outrage and captivity.".

The Dutch mils bring information, that the islands in the
Elbe, near Haat berg, were taken on the 19th ult. in conse-
quence of which the speedy fall of Hamburgh is anticipated;
and it is said that Davoust has offeied to capitulate. The
accounts from French Flanders are in geneeal favourable to
the good cause. In the accounts from Italy also, we hear of
strong parties of insurgents supporting General Nugent, who
on the 20th of December attacked and carried the two posi-
tions of Forli and Corvia. The iuhahit.►ts of the Valais had
run to arms, and taken measures to repel the French should
they return ; also there had appeared at Prince Schwartzen-
burg's head-quarters, a deputation from the inhabitants of
Savoy, who had been sent by that Gencial to Ps ince Metter-
nich, for settling the manner in which the country should
be provisionally governed, when delivered from the yoke and
tyranny of France.—A great mortality prevails at Mentz ;
within the last three months an eighth of the inhabitants
have perished ; and it is estimated, that, including the gar-
rison, the deaths in the city have amounted, in the same pe-
riod, to 2:5,060.
