COLONLAL DEPAturm ENT.
Downing-Street, June 2, 1813.
A dispatch, of which the following is a copy,
was this day received by the Earl Bathurst, one of
his Majesty's, Principal Secretaries.of State, front
Lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost-, Bart. G-
overnor General and Commander in Chief of the
forces in North Anterica.
MY LORD, Niagara, Feb. '27, ISM.
In the dispatch which 1 had the honour of ad-
dressing to your Lordship on the 16th instant, I
repotted the close of the session of the Provincial ,
Parliament, and my intention of proceeding on
the following day to visit the military posts in
Upper Canada.
I accordingly left,, Quebec on the 17th, and,
passing through Montreal, arrived at Prescott, the
first frontier post in Upper Canada, on the 21st ;
there I found Myself within less than a mile of the
enemy, posted at Ogdensburgh, who had availed
themselves of the frozen state of the St. Lawrence,
in that neighbourhood, to carry on repeated noc-
turnal enterprises against posts of communication
which were occupied by thi militia, and to com-
mit frequent deptedations upon the persons and
roperty of his Majesty's subjects, carefully se
- .
leering objects beyond the immediate support and
protection,of a regular military force.
Being at that time busily employed in the trans-
port of ordnance and 'ordnance stores for the ma-
rine establishments, clothing, andammunition for
the militia of the... Upper Province, I deemed it ab-
solute!, necessary, in order to ensure the safe ar-
rival these essential articles at the places of their
destinatiOn, to dislodge the eneniy,iiom his posi-
tion at Ogdensburgh, to secure from interrup-
tion my line of communication with Upper Ca-
nada. I have now the honour of transmitting to
your Lordship the report which Major M‘Don-
nell, of the. Glengarry light infantry fencibles, has
wade to me of the spirited manner. in which he
eittried into execution my orders on this occasion:
I begleare to call your Lordship's attention to
the distinguished merit of Captain Jenkins, of the
Glengarry fencibles, who Most gallantly led a part
of that new levy into action : this excellent young
man and',very meritorious officer has lost his left
arm, and has the right severely wounded ; under
these circumstances I most humbly recommend him
to the favour and protection Of his Royal lligh-
ness the Prince Regent,
It is but common justice to the merits of Lien-
tenantimpey, of. the Dundas militia, who lost a
leg in this affair,' .whieh has afforded a further
proof at the superiority of his Majesty's arms over
those of the enemy, to entreat your• Lordship, that
the same benevolence may be•extended to linn as
he would have experienced had'he belonged to the
regular forces ; he being a very respecAle and
worthy man, entirely dependant on his bodily ex-
ertions in the'cnltivation of a farm fur the support
of himself and. a young family.
Two stand of colours, which were taken on this
• service by the detachment of the King's regiment,
will be'forwarded to your Lordship by the first op-
portuulty, to be laid at the feet of his Royal High-
ness the Prince Regent. •
I have the honour to be, &c.
