THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

donment of their town (which was partially fortified), attests for us a
complete and decisive victory.. It has, however, been ikarly purchased.
A number of brave and valuable men have fallen victims to their zeal
for their country's service. The behaviour of the regulars and militia
troops was such as would have dune honour to veterans. I arrived at
my present position (a mile from the town) on the evening of the 6th
instant; a correspondence was immediately opened with the Provhet,
and. there wad every appearance of a successful terni;nation of the.ex-
pedition without bloodshed : indeed, there was an agreement for the
suspensicn of hostilities. until a further communication should take
place on the next day. Contrary, however, to this engagement, he at-
tacked me at half past four o'clock in the morning, so suddenly, that
the Indians were in the camp before many men could get out of their
tents. A little confusion, for a short time, prevailed, but aided by the
great exertions of the officers, I was soon enabled to form the men in
order. The companies which were hard pressed were supported,
several successful charges made. and at day-light, the enemy were
finally put to flight. Our killed and wounded amount to 179, of these
42 are now dead.
I have not been able to ascertain the number of Indians in the action;
it must, however, have been considerable.
The principal Chief of these l'ota.watemies who have joined the
Prophet is wounded, and in our possession. I have taken care of him,
and shall send him back to his tribe. At a more leisure moment I
shall do myself the honour to tritnsmit a more particular account of the
action, and of our previous movements.
And am, with the greatest respect, Sir,
Your bumble servant; .
The Hon. Wm. Eustis, Secretary of War. W. H. HARRISON.

DOWNING-STEEET, DEC. 31, 1811.

A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has
been this motnling received by the Earl oftivt.3 pool, from
General- Viscount Wellington, dated Frcnada, December
12, 1611 :

The enemy have made no movement of importance in
this quarter, since I addressed you on the 4th instant.
I have received accounts from Cadiz to the 30th of No-
vember : General Ballasteres has been tAbliged again to re-
tire. It appears that the enemy have brought some troops
from Grenada to act upon General Ballafteros, as well
as the division under General Semel, belonging to the
frst corps.
The official accounts from Valencia come down as far
as the 20th of November. The-enemy had not at that
period made any progress in their. attack upon General
Blake's position, in front of Ole town. The Chiefs of
Guerillas Duran, El Enapeern:lo, F.,poz y Mina,
had been very active and successful in their operations
against the enemy.
