WEST INDIA- FLEET.

'The..fullowitig is an Extract of a Letter frc7l

one of the West India convq, and no won board hic
.Nlnjesty's, ship the Inrincible, perrorming quarfm-
tine of the Aititherbank, dated Dec. 19th.

On the morning of the 27th ult. we. sailed
from Spitheld with _a fine wind at E., which lasted
till Tuesday morning the 30th, when. it died away,
and a .stiong gale came on from W. N. W. ',toil we
lonl. run • ;bunt 400 miles from the Lizard.

This abetted on the Wednesday morn-
ing, alurint‘ the whole of which day we had
light baffling .‘vind.l. .TO Wards night-fall it
came 'Oft to blow from the S. W. mid in-

creased to a tremendous storm with a very heatry
sea: The fleet had brought-to with their heads
to the. N,—lnthe course of the evening many heavy
seas,, struck the Rucker:, anti about one in the •
morning one. went over us, which carried '
away the foremast, bowsprit, and maintop-mast.
The .ship was now quite unmanageable ; the Sea
made a fair breach over us, and we were drifting,
at the. mercy of the- inferiated elements.' Day-
light on the Thursday morning brought as no con-
solation—the fleet was completely dispersed, and
SVe.SaW around us only five or six wrecks as help-
less as, ourselves. Several of our men had
been hurt by the falling of the masts, and the
rest,,• in sullen despair, and overcome with fa-
tigue, 'had retreated to their hammocks, from
which no entreatiesrprombes, nor threats, could •
bring them,— We -had *Mr two or three boys to
work at the pomp, which became veryneees•sary,
as the continued to ship a great deal of water.— •
The decks all this time were covered with the
wreck of the masts, from which no attempt could
be made to clear them. When Saturtluy ciOceti itt
upon us in this dreadful state, we considered evertt
chance.olsaring our lives as cut off. The storm had
subsided by the Morning,and the sea was more coin-
posed. While in the act of deliberating On what was
to be done, a large ship hove in sight, stamtiag di-
redly for its. Soon atter mil Way shy cause - up, '-

MI/ L0a0,......)0a the Bth inst. I had the honour
to report to your Lordship that Major-General
HaMptdrk had occupied, with a considerable force
of regulars and iuilitia, a position on the Cha-
teauguay River,' near the'settlement of the Four
Corners.
Early on the 21st the. American Remy *crossed
the line of separation between •Lower Canada and
the United• States, surprised a small-party of.lu-•
warriors, and drove, in a piquet of Sedentary
Militia, posted at the junction of 11:e Outard and
Chateauguay Rivers, where it encamped; and pro-
ceeded in establishing a road of embintiriication
with its last position, for the purpost•of bringing
forward its artillery. • •
Major-General Hampton having completed his
arrangements on the 2.lth, commenced' on the fol-
lowing clay his operations against my advanced
posts at about 11 o'clock in the forenoon of the
26th, his cavalry and, light troops were discovered
advanring on.both banks of the Chateauguay, by
a detachment covering a working party of heibitans-.
employed in- telling timber, for the purpose of .
constructinm ebbatis. Lient .-Colonel De Salaberry
who nod the command or
.the advanced piquets;
composed of the light infantry company of the.
Conadian Fencibles, and two companies of Vol-
tit:elms; on the north side of the river, made so
exeelleet a disposition of his little band, that he '
checked the advance of the enemy's principal co-
Int on, led by Major-General Hatnpton in perscut,
and accompanied by Brigadier-General Izard ;
whilst the American light brigade, under Colonel
M'Carty, was in like manner repulsed in its pro,
grits on the south. side. of the river, by the spi-
iited tolvanee of the right flank company of the
ti it'd battalion of the embodied militia, tinder
Gall t. 'Daly, supported by Capt.. Bruyer's com-
pany of Chateauguay chasseurs; Captains Daly
and Broyers being both, wounded, and their com-
panies having sustained some loss, their position
was hinnCdiately takeu up by a flank company of
the first battalion of embodied Militia ; the elle-
ltaijied and repeatedly returned to the attack,
which terminated only with the day, in his Com-
plete disgrace and defeat ; being foiled at all points
• by el handful •of men, who by their, determined-
brav4y maintained their position„ and screened
from insult •the working parties, who continued
their htbottrs unconcerned.
Having,fortunately arrived at. the scene of ac-
tion, shortly, after its commencement, witnessed
the cohilnet of the troops on this glorious occasion,
and it was a great satisfaction to ma to render on
the spot that praise- which had become so justly
their clue. I thanked Major-General De Watte-
ville for the wise measures taken by hint for the
defence of his position, the advance,. and Lieute-
nant-Colonel De Salaberry, for the judgment dis-:
'played by hire in thc choice of his ground, and the
bravery and skill with which be maintained it ; I
acknowledged the highest praise to belong to.the
officers and men engaged that morning, for their
galla'ntry steadiness, and I called upon all the
troops' in advance fora continuance .tif that zeal,
steadiness, and discipline, as for that patient en-
durance cif hardships and privations which they
ha've hitherto evinced ; anti I particularly noticed
theatble support Lictit.-Col. De Salaberry received
from Captain Ferguson, in command of the 14411 t,
company oldie Canaelian Fencibles, and from Capt.
.1. 11. Duchesmay and Captain J. DuChestuty,.and
Adjutant Hebdetr, of the voltigeurs, and also from
Adjutant O'Stri,livane of the Sedentary Militia, and
front Captain' Da Motte, betel:ging to the Indian
warriors.
Almost the whole of the British troops being
pushed forward for the defence of Upper Canada,
that of the lower province Must depend, in a great
degree, oft the-valour and, continued exertious of
its incorporated battalions and its sedentary mili-
tia, until the 70th regiment 'ant the two battalions
of marines, daily expected, ar:ive. It is, there-
fore, highly satisfactory to state to your Lordship,
that there appears a determination among .all e
classes of his Majesty's Canadian subjects; to
perseiere in a loyal
.rind honourable line of
conduct.
By the report of prisonerS taken from the ene-
my in the affair .on the Chateauguay, the Ameri-
can force is stated at 7,000 infantry and 200 ea-.
• 'sdly, with ten field pieces. The British advanc7.
ed force, actually,eugaged, did not. exceed 300.
The enemy .suffered severely. Irma our fire, and
from their own I. some detached corps in the
woods fired upon each other,
have-the honoorto transmit to your Lordship,
a return of the killed mid wounded on the 26th.-7-
I avail myself of this opportunity humbly to so-

AS alnark otitis gracious approbation of the con-
duct: Of the embodied battalion of the Canadian
militia, five pair of eplours for Abel st, 2d, 3d, 4th,

MY, LOAD—giiice I had the honour of addressing
yonr.Lordship in lily cliSpatch of the 22d. of Sept.
last, I have received the enclosed cominunicat!on
from Major-General Proctor. I have however
been informed from other quarters, that lie com-
menced his retreat from Sandwich. on the 24th of
that month, having previously dismantled the posts
ot; Amhertsbarg and Detroit, and totally destroyed
the public buildings and litotes of every description,

That on the :)11's of Octoher'following, with-
in a few. Mile;, of a strong position, which it was
his intention to take up7iit.the Moravian village
on the River Tharnes,he Was attacked by so over-
whelming as force, under Mitior-GeneTal 'Harrison,
that the small numbers he hod with hip), consist-
ing of niit mote than 450 regular troops,' were
unable to withstand it, And consequently coin
gelled to disperie ; that he had afterwards rallied
the remains of his division, and retire:l4on An-
easter, on the Grand hirer, without being pur-
sued by the enemy, and where he had collected
the scattered remains of his, force,. amounting to
about 200 men, and had' with.. ir, sishsequently,
reached Burlington-heights, the head-quarters of
Major-General Vincent, Tccumseth, at 'the head
of 1200 -Indian warriors, accompanied our 'little
army on its retreat front sandwich, and the.Pro-
•phet, as well as his brother Tecuals,;th, were of
the most essential service, in arreting for-;
ther progress of the Americans ; but as to the ex-
tent of our loss 'on this oce4siOn, or the particu-
lars of this disastrous. affair, 1 urn, as igno-
rant ; INlajor4ieneral Proctor, having Signified to
Major-General De Rotteuberg, 'commanding, in
the Upper Provinces, that he had sent a'fiag of
truce to General Harrison, to ascertain the fate of
the officers and. soldiers who were missing, and
requesting his indulgence for a few days until its
return, in order to snake Isis official report. I al.;.
so.fintlerstand, that the enemy, so far from at-
',tempting to improve the advantage they had
gained,. .by pursuing our troops on their retreat
to.; the Grand River, had retired to Sandwich,
followed by Tecinnseth and his warriors, who
had much harassed 'them:-on their torch. Five
or six hundred Indian's, belonging to the Eighth
Division, are reported to have joined the Centre.
1 regret to say, that I am still without any offi-
cial account of Captain• Barclay's action on Lttka
Eric', the result Of- which • has led to our relin-
quishment of the Michigan territory, excepting
Illiebilimarkanac, and our absordonment of the
posts in Upper Canada beyond the Grand River.

Ext-ract of a Itepott from. Major-General ..Proetnr, to
tomnt•General Sir George Prevost, dated Sandwich, Sep-
tember 21, 1513.

I have the honour to acquaint your Excellencyp
that the enemy have been reconnoitred•at and in.
the vicinity of the islands, by alvflioer of the In-
dian departinclit in a birch canoe, who has seen
seven vessels, some of them large, 'standing into
Carrying Bay, situated between those 'of Sandus-
ky- andD.lianii, and soon after heard a salute fired
of fifteen guos.%He also diScGvered in Tut-in Bay
four large yessers,:with their' lower masts in, and
two rigged vessels, One of which a gun-boat, came
out, and chased the canoe. We must expect the
enemy soon Ivith their increased naval force, which
we most unfortunately have not the means of op-
posing with effect. Your Excellency will perceive
that the enemy having the command of the, waters
would be able to cut off my supplies, and my re-
treat, were I to remain 'in my present extensive
pqsition. I have therefore determined to fall
baCk, and to make a stand ott the Thames. I have
succeeded in bringing the Indians ; I am iii ex-
pectation that. the principal part of them will ac-
company US. Many are arrivod at this side of the
Straight .with their families, The enemy is*on
the advance, and in very cOnsiderable force, ac-
companied by their small vessels and -gun-boats.
It would be'too hazardous to fight them on the
other side, as our retreat might be cut oil so

MY Loan,--T have the honour to announce to
your Lordship the arrival•in the River Si. Lawrence,
of the troop-ships named in the margin,* baring
on board the two battalions of :Royal Marines,
and the taro companies of Mprine Artillery attached
to them, front Halifax, in consequence of a repre-
sentation whiela I had Made to Admiral Sir .1. B.
Warren, requiring this reinforcement on account
of the disaster that had befallen our fleet on Lake
Erie', and the danger to which the right division
of the twiny in Lipper Canada-was, exposed by that
circumstance. • •
By the latest, accounts from . Major-General
Dc Rottenburg, dated at Kingston on the 25th
instant. lum informed that the enemy still me-
naced that-post, but no attack had actually taken
place.
'rile American Armatla, under Major-General
Wilkinson and Commodore Channecy, was at Gre-
nadier Island on the '2Bth, within 18 miles of
Kingston, where it had 'collected, after having
been dispersed in its first. attenipt-f:om Sackett's
Ilarbour to pasi over to. ktugstoa.
The state of the wcather-prevanted the attack .of
Major-General Hampton on the-lower province,
and that of Major-General Wilkinson on Kingston,
from being ‘shmtltaneous, as-Was expected.- I have
tesson to hope their enterprise .against Kingston
trill experience a similar fate to that Against Lower

Extract of a Utter from Lleutermilt-C;eneral. Sir Geortre
11.4..v05t, Bart. to Eurl liutuuret, datcd Moutreal, Novet;i-
Lotr 4, 1813.

Tl►e- loss of our fleet on Lake Erie, which I had
the honour of reporting to.yo►rr Lordship, in my
dispatch of the time of 2211 September last, tege:-
ther with the increasing sickness among thetrocips
of the centre division, a►nd the diminsition of the
force iu Upper Canada, by the. different actions
which had taken place; induced me to send an of-
ficer express to llalifax, with directions f?)r the
embarkation of the second hattalicin of -marines,
and the artillery company attached to it, which
sailing from thence with a fair wind, and being
much famine(' by. the weather; arrived in the
Lawrence at the same. time With the othet batta-
lion, as I have already bad the honour of report-.
ing to your Lord-ship.
I have now the honour• of acquainting your
Lordship, that both battalions, together with
the. two companies of artillery and a rocket com-
pany, having beet► disembarked at Quebec., pro-
ceeded to this place, where part of them have
alreany arrived.
I have theisatisfaction to report to' your Lard-
ithip,the arrival at Quebec of thy talus, with

tl;ree hmulred,seamen, and my.intention of liav
ing them immediately forwarded front thence in
the stearn-hoot. that I may, if possible, „et them
to King. ton before the navigation of the river
closes.' I have also received a report of a part of
the 70th regiment being in the St. Lawrence,:.to-
gether with a fleet.; havi•ig on board the remaititler,
.which I cannot but consider as a peculiarly for-
tunate circumstance. •

In my fornier dispatch I communicated to .your
Lordship the • moVentent and disposition Of the.ene-,
my's flotilla and force, upOittheir quitting Sackett's
Harbour, on the 18th ultimo, and of their being
on Grenadier-island, on the 28th ; I have n6w to
infOrm you, that on the 29th, a part of this force
was sent to Gravelly-point, where it was observed,
on the 30th, to be employed in constructing huts ;
but it is not 'improbable it may' haVe had some
other object- in view, perhaps to proceed-down the
river, and by landing at Gananoqui, to aid in a
combined attack ontKingston, which Major7Gene-
Tal De Rottenberg still thought on the-30th, the
'date•of his last dispatches, was likely to te ke place.
General Hampton's army has altogether quitted
the Lower Province, and from the reports of the
diffetent parties hanging on its rear, is retiring to
its former encampment at the Four-Corners.
I am happy to tell your bor:lship, that the sick-
ness amongst the troops is diminishing, and the
convalescents numerous. 'The Lake fever has been
the inost prevalent disorder, and has affected the
officers more than the privates.
