EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE LOWER VISTULA,
DATtD APRIL 2.
Yesterday RUssian troops occupied the camp
before Thorn. Prussian Lngineer Officers, de-
tachments of the Artillery and pioneers., have like-
wise arrived there, with the heavy besieging artil-
lery trdm Graudcntz. •
The General, of artillery, Count pangeron,
commands the besieging corps. Some :flat-but-
tomed vessels, equipped for the porpo,.,e, haVe an-
chored half a Gerenan mile below Thorn And a
mile and a half,
.16wer
.down,.'a bridge ha's been
thrown over the Vistula.
The French Governor of Thorn, Briade-Ge-
'neral Baron Mauvilion, has made every prepara-
tion for an- obstinate defence, and strengthened
the weakest parts with mines. The garrison has
been much weakened by nervous fevers, and a
home-sickness ; which latter has carried off a
number off the young Bavarians.
There is no want of any thing in the city, ex-
cept beef, medicine, and firewood ; the latter of
which is supplied, by pulling down those houses
18hich are deserted by the inhabitants.
MAntENwEADER, MAnett t..10.---Of the 12,00
French and Bavarian troops, under the French
General Castella, which on the ;7th of-February
capitulated in Pillau, all the Germans and Hol-
landers have remained bellied with their arms and
ammunition, with intent to join the German
Legion.

Yesterday morning the PRINCE. ItiGRNT left
town (or Windsor, to he pref,eet at the celebra,
tion of the Princess Matt Y's Birth-day. Her Royal
Highness completed her 37th year yesterday.
The Duke of Vont( left St.James's about elerci,
o'clock for the same purpose.
• Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at theroreign Office, which sat till about
half past five. ••
The Duke of ColvtantmAxo's horses will be sold
this clay. His Royal Highness is expected to leave
town •to-morrow or next day, on his departure
from England.
• Smite letters from Paris were received in town-
yesterday, stating that BUONAXARTE'S departure
from Paris was hastened in consequence of receiv-
ing intaigence of the defeat of BRAVHARNOIS.
The same accounts add,: that in order to keep tile.
Parisians quiet; the tattieB upon various articles of
consumption had been lowered.
An Order has been issued by Government to the
Commanding Officeri of all the Regiments of Local
Militia, .within 30 pines of London, to give up
the accoutrements of their respective corps, for
the purpose of heist;
,immediately forwarded to
the North of Germany.- Tills it a most judicious
measure, .caletilared to afford the speediest supply.
to the brave German people.
Letters from New York, of the 2.oth of March,
received on Saterday; say, tout no cartel front
America will be permitted to sail.
Several sail of transports are arrived at Harwich
preparatory to an. embarkation daily expected
there of 5000 troops for the Continent. A large
quantity of arms and military stores is to be ship-
ped foe •I he- same destination.
MiECDOTE.—It was formerly proverbial on the
Continent,' " Fier conzme uzz' Ecossois," and in a
recent publication, (Sir JOEIN SINCLAIR'S account
of the HOlllnd Society of London), the follow-
ing anecdote is recorded' of that Fierce :---
" The Chief•of the•Macdonalds happening to
be Ireland, was invited to an entertainment
given by the_Lord-Lielitenant. - He chanced to
be among the last -that came in, 'and set himself
atthe foot of the table near the door. The Lord
Lieutenant asked him to come and sit beside him,
and Macdonald, who 1,4 no English, inquired
What the Carle said ?" He bids you move to-
wards the tnbl, was- the answer "Tell the
Carte," (replied the Chief, Indignant that the
dinner had not beery kept back tilt hii Africa!),
" that whereverililacdonald sits, that. i 9 the head
,of the table."
. It has been frequently asserted of late, that
London Is -over-1;1(10(1in itself -,'' but such animad-
verterS do not Seem to consider that, among nu-
merous other • demands for new houses, 500 at.
least are annually .required by the fortunate pos-
sess-ors of Capital Prizes, front Tickets and Shares
in each Year's State Lotteries.. How greatly this
demand will be increased front the present Scheme
of more Prizes than Blanks, and which, on Thurs-
day next, fith May,- will proclaim a Prize to every
Number then drawn', may be. 'easily conceived and
calculated !
A large quantity of. arms and ammunition arc
ordered to be sent front the Ordnance depots
aat
Chatham, fot. Harwich, to be shipped for Ger-
- many.

A dispatch, of which the following is a copy,
wa this day received by the Earl hathurst, one
of his INlajeSty's pr.incipal Secretaries of, State,
frwil Lieuti.nal-6eneral Sir George Prevost,
Bart. Governor.4ieneral and Contmander in Chiet
of the Fo.re'es in North Atnerica.
MY LO!!9, . Quebec, Feb. 0; 1813.'
:),ve the honour to congratulate your Lord-
ship upon the signal succt?ss which bus again 'at-
tc!rded his nijesty'S arms in -Upper Canada:
Erigadier•General Winchestee, with n division
of the forces of Ihe United States, consisting of
upwards Of one thOu;and men, being the right,
wing of Afajor-General Harrison's army, thrown
in adyance, marching to the attack of Detroit,
was completely defeated on the 22d January last,
by Colonel Proctor, commanding in the
roan territory, with a force which lie had hastily
colleeted upon the approach of the enemy, con-
sisting of a small detachment of thelOth royal
veteran battalion, three cbtupanies of the 41st
regiment, a party of the rnval Newfoundland ten-
ches, the sailors belonging to the Queen Char-
lotte, and one hundred and fifty of the Essex Mi-
litia, not exceeding five hundred regulars and mi-
litia, • and about six hundred Indians ; the result
of the action has been the surrender of Briga-
dier-General Winchester, with :five hundred offi-
cers, non-connuissiimed officers., and privates of
the American army', and with a loss on their part
of nearly the like naniber iii filled and wounded.
For the details of this affair; Arrhich reflects the
highest credit upon Cot. Proctor for the prompti-
tude, gallantry, and decision which he has mani-
fested upon this occasion, I
,beg leave to refer your
M Lord4;ip to his letter to Major-Geueral Sheath!,
heren itli transmitted.

1 ha.te also t►he honour of transmitting to your
Lordship, returns Of the killed and wounded on
our. part, and of the prisoners t,►krn from the ene-
my, the latter. of which your I:urdfl►ip will not
fail to observe, more than exceeded the whole of
the reg►tlar and Militia force which Colonel Proc-
tor had to oppose to them. Major-General Har-
rison, with the main body of i►is army, consisting,
of about two thotautlmen, was reported to be
fur or five days march distant from Brigadier-
General Nifinchestrr's division, advancing in the.
direction of Detroit

I think it nut improbable that, upon hearing of
the disast..tr of this division and the loss at his
supplies, he may commence his retreat ; but
should he persevere in his endeavour to'penetrate
further into the Michigan territory, I feel the
fullest confidence in the skill a►nd bravery of Cal.
Proctor, and the troops under his command, for
an effectual resistance to every attempt of the ene-
my in that gnarter.
A small detachment from the royal artillery at
Tort George, with the light infautty company of
the -list regiment, have marched to reioforce
Detroit ; they arc to be replaced on the Nia-,
gara frontier by troops now in motion front
Montreal.

saaawich, January es, 1813.
111 my last dispatch I acqiiiiinted you, that the
enemy 'was in the Michigan ierritory, marching
upon Detroit, and that I therefore deemed it .ne-
cesSary that he should be attacked without delay,
with all and every description of force within my.
reach., Early. in the morning of the 19th I was
informed of his being in possession of French-
town, 'on the river Raisin, twenty-six miles from
Detroit, after experiencing every resistance that
Major Reynolds, of the E!,sex militia had it in his
power to make, with is three-pounder, well serv-
ed and directed by Bombardier Kitson,, of the
royal artillery, and the, militia, three of Whom he
had well trained to the Use of it. The retreat of
the gun was covered by a brave band of Indians,
who made the enemy pay dear forwhat he ob-
tained. This party, compoied of Militia and In-
dians, with the gun, fell hack eighteen miles to
Brown's Town, the settlement of the brave Wy-
andots, where I directed my force to assemble.
On the 2lst instant I advanced twelve miles 'to
SWan Creek, front whence we Marched to the
enemy, %lid attacked him at break of.day.on the
22d inst.; .and after suffering, for our numbers, a,
considerable loss, the enemy's force posted in
houses and enclosures, and which, froth dread of
falling into the hands of the Indians, they most
,Obstinately•defended, at length surrendered at dis-
cretion:; the other part of their force, in attempt-
ing to retreat by the way they came, were, I
believe, all, or with very few exceptions, kill-
ed by the Indians. Brigadier-General Win-
chester was takqn in .the pursuit by the \Vyandot
Chief Roundhead, who afterwards surrendered
him to me. • .

Yon,will perceive that I have lOit no time; in-
deed it was necessary to be prompt In my move-
inents, as the enemy would have been joined by
Major-Genera! Harrison in a few days. The
troops, the marine,, and the militia, displayed
great bravery, and behaved uncommonly well.
Where so much zeal and spirit ‘vereimanifestul,
it would be unjnst to attempt to particularise any;
I cannot, however, retrain trom mentioningLient.
Colonel
St. George, who received four wounds in
a. gallant attempt to occupy a building which was
favourably situated for annoying the enemy ;: to.
gether with Ensign Kerr, of the 'Newfoundland
regiment, • who, I fear, is very dangerously
wounded. The zeal-and courage of the Indian
department were never more conspipuims than on
this ocemion, and the Indian wurriors fought with
their usual bravery. I 'am much indebted to the
different departments, the troops having been-
well and timely supplied with every requisite the
district could afford.

I have fortunately not been deprived of the ser-
vices of Lieutenant Troughton of the royal ar-
tillery, and acting in the Quarter.Master•Gene-
ral's department, although he was wounded, to
whose iealous and unwearied exertions I am
greatly indebted, as well as to the whole of the
royal artillery for their conduct in this affair.
1 inclose a liot of the killed and wounded, and
cannot but lament that there are so many of both,
but of the latter I am happy to spy a large pro•

portion of theni will nyturn to their duty, :►wt
most of thetn is a short liIW, also inclose k t•e-
turn of tire arins and animunitma which have been
taken', as well as of the prisoners, WllOlll yoll will
perceive. to be equal to my utmost tome, exclu-
sive of the Indians:

It is reported that a party, consisting of, one
hundred men, bringing five handred,b6gA 'for Lien.
Winchester's force,
,has been completely cut off, by
the Indians, and the convoy taken.

Lieutenant itPLean, my Itethig Brigade-Major,

on the 22d instant, is the bearer of this disp.itch,
and will able to, afford you every information re-
speetwg our situation.
