FROM THE SHREWSBURY CHRONICLE, OF FRIDAY,

DEC. 11.

Another French Officer's name is added to ,the
st of -dishonour, by attempting to break his pa-
role frOm Welsh Pool, with the assistance of an
Englishman. On Monday; General Francis Andre
Bron, with Francois Fain, midshipman, and
terpretcr to the General, were it-takenin this
town, together with George Hubbard, who is
charged with, aiding their escape. On their ex-
amination belare -Wm. Smith, Esq. it appeared
that Ikbhard had gone several times from hence
to Wealt Pool and back, within a few days pre-
vious, in chaises, that on Sunday last he had
gone in a chaise from hence to Welsh Pool, and
after discharging the postboy, ordered a chaise
and four from the Oak Inn, to start for Shrews-
bury about ten o'clock. His conduct at the Oak
having excited suspicion, the Rev. Mr. Jones and
Mr. Griflithes, bailiffs of Pool, determined to be.
on the alert, especially as they had not met with
the Cormnissary to communicate to him their
mistrust. Haying been informed that flubbard
had been at the Bear Inn, in Pool, where General
Bron lodged, it occurred to them that an attempt
was about to be made by the stranger, to assist
the escape of the Geacral. They therefore sent a
Corporal in the Montgomeryshire Militia in dis-
guise to the Bear Inn,' with directions to call .for•
some beer and to watch the conduct of the Gene-
ral and his servant ; and at the same time they di-
rected the driver of the chaise which tVas ordered
,to be in readiness at the Oak, to proceed- slow-
ly, and if Hubbard ordered him to stop fur the
purpose of taking up any person on the road, he
was to obey without intimating any suspicion ;
but at the same time he was further directed, as
soon as he arrived at Shrewsbury, to procure as-
sistance there, if none previously came trout Pool,
and secure time passengers until Mr. Jones and
Mr. Griffiths arrived. About half-past 9 o'clock
the trusty corporal returned, and informed the
Bailiff's that he had missed Fain, the servant, after
the General's bell had gone, and that he was con-
! vineed something was on foot.--Meanwhile the
chaise was perMitted 'to set off, at the hour •ap-
\pointed; and theßailiffs proceeded to search the
lodgings of the General. On their way they met
with the Commissary,whom they informed of their
suspicions, and directed him to go to the General's
lodgings. .The commissary soon returned, and in
formed them that the General had escaped accom-
panied by his interpreter Mr. Fain. The Bailiffs
immediately diipatched the Serjeants-at-Mace for
the Borough, with directions, to go after the
he chaise, but not to stop it; 'and if they reached
Shrewsbury before the Bailiffs, to secure the par-
ties until the latter arrived. They 'at the same
time ordered it chaise and four for themselves, and
as the Commissar-, could nut procure a horse, they.
took him with them. Upon their arrival in this
town, about three o'clock on MOnday morning,
they found the General, his interpreter, and Hub-
bard, in custody at the Lion ; and shortly after-
wards, with the assistance df Mr. Tompkins, of
that Inn, and Mr. 'Williams, of time Unicorn
(C6nstables of the Watch), the - culprits were,
lodged in our county Gaoh—flubbard says he-
Lept a public house at Deal, and Unit the Gene.
ral; on his return to France, was to intercede for
the liberation of Hubbard's brother, who is a pri-
soner there. . •
Such credit is due to all parties, who assisted
in apprehending the prisoners, but at the same
time it must he acknowledged that the Transport
Board are eminently indebted to Mr. Jones and
Mr. Griflithes for the skilful and prudent IllCa-
slues they adopted, and the promptitude they
displayed: Had it not been for them,' time pri-
soners, in all probability, might have reached
their country, and there eonzratulated the runa-
way Philippon.

[FttoM• 11418 ALBANY GAnatr, oCT. 80.1
The following is the most accurate account
which we have been able to obtain of the late at-
tack on the heights of Queen's Town by the Ame-
rican troops.
At four o'clock in the-morning of the 13th inst.
Col. Solomon Van It enseilaer, at the bend of 30Q
militia, and Lieut.-Colonel, Christie, at the head
of 300 regulars of the 13th regiment, embarked in
boatsstoiislodge the British from the heights of
Queen's Town.. They crossed under cover of a
battery of two.eighteen and two, six-pounders.—
Their movement was discovered almost at ,the in-
stant of their departure from the American shore.
The "detachment landed under a heavy fire of artily
lery and musketry. Colonel Van Tensellaer re-
ceived a wound through his right thigh soon after
landing, but proceeded on until he received ts...‘-o
other fresh wounds in hii thigh and the calf' of
one of his legs, and a severe contusion on one of
his heels, when he ordered the detechments to
march on, and storm the first battery, and iv as
him Self carried off the fiPld. The order for storm-.
in was most gallantly executed, and a seyereeen7
filet ensued. Lientenant-Colonel Chrhitie received
a wound in the hand, but got over the works.—
At this time both the parties were reitiforced ; the
enemy soon gave way, and fled in every direction.
Major-General Van - Rensellier crossed over
sustain the attack, Prut ascended the heights of
Quen's-Town, where he- Was attacked with great
•
fury by several hundred 'lndians, who were, how-
ever, soon routed and driven into the woods. The
reinforcements ordered over from the American
side beg-rt to-move tardily, and 'finally stopped.—
This induced the Major-General to return, in or-
to accelerate their movements lle. mounted a
horse, and used every elertion in his power to
urge.on the reinforcements, hut in vain. Where-
upon the General perceiving that a strong rein-
forcement wes advancing, ordered a retreat ; but
before the order was received by Brigadicr-General
Wails Worth, the battle was renewed by the ene-
my with greet vigour and increased numbers,
which compelled the Americans, whose _ strength
and ammunition were neatly exhausted by bard
fighting for eleven hours, and with Very little in-
termission, to give wave The number of killed is
considerable on both Sides, but the Americans
have lost mony prisoners, including about Sixty
officers, most of whom are wounded. Among the
prisoners are
.Lieutenant-Colonels Saott, Christie,
and Fenwick, 'of the U. S. troops, General Wads-
worth, and Colonel Stranahan, of the militia.—
Major-General Brock, of the British, is among
'the slain, and his aide-de camp mortally wound-
ed. The whole number of Americans said to be
engaged is about sixteen hundred,-of which nine
hundred were regular troops, and 700 militia.
On the 14th an arrangement was made between
Major-General Van Renseltaer and Gen. Sheafe,
for,the liberation of all the militia prisoners on
parole, not to serve daring the war. Further par-
ticulars will be given as soon as they can be ascer-
etal-ued. .Jt appears that our "troops behaved va-
liantly, and were overcome by superior numbers,
in conseqwnee of the indisposition of a large
body of militiat-o join in the conflict:

ExtaAcTs -Oar, LETTERS.
111 Y DEAR SIR,
.Al any, Oct. 21.
As you are an interested party in the affair at
Niagara, I take. the liberty to gratify you with a
true narration of it, as cowiug'from an officer who
was in the battle, and has since arrived here.
About 1609' of our men crossed at Lewistown.,
and. carried the Britizli batteries' after a tremen-
dous conflict. General 13Roci, came up, with a
reinforcement of regular troops, (having started
from Fort Erie, a distance of 22 miles, after the
first engagement commenced), and succeeded in
retkiking the ground an:l fortifications.. Four bun-

dred of our • men were killed, and 800. wounded

and taken prisoners—among the latter is your bro-
ther, who was wounded in the hand. Colonel
FENTwicK is also taken.: it was at first .conjee-
timed that Colonel lixocK was killed but it is

now reported' that he is not,.and that he will sur-

vivo his wounds."

" Alijoatiy, Oct. '2O.
" I have this moment received a letter from my
brother, dated at Lewistown 15th inst. wherein
be informs me, that he arrived there in the after-
noon of the same day, and gives me the particu-
lars as far -as bad been received of the engagement
of the 13th. it is with sincere regret that 1 in-
form' you that your brother, Colo;irl CHRISTIE,'
and nearly all the men he had With him, which
wasabeut 400, are gone. He is a prisoner, and
i 3 slightly wounded in the hand. Cape. OGlLvts,
Lieutenants FINK, KERNEY, and Ensign Simmot3
are pri::.oners. Captains MALCOLM, LAWRENCE,
AItgBTRONG and WOOL, are wounded, as is also
Lieutenant LENT. He' says 'that none of the
'officers are
.dangeinuslv wounded. There Were
about 700 militia and 000 regulars, in all about
1600.. The battle was well fought.
f‘ Colonel VAN RENSSELAER, Aid-de:camp to
the General, is wounded, but n')t dangerou:ly."

Every effort is making by the friends of BAL-
I.EsTERos to bring about' a reconciliation between
him and till: Regency. He had some enemies
among his Officers, by whOm the 'strictness of his
disciiihne_ was disliked ; brit he was a great fa-
vourite with the soldiers, for he shared in all their
fatigues.

Last Tuesday night, between.. the hours of 11
and 12; as a man and a woman were passing along
the Foot path in Vortiand,road, they stumbled on
the body of a man, and suspecting him to be dead,
they gave infOrmation to a watchman on the
road, and to the landlord of the Green Man pub-
lic-Louse, near the snot, who, having procured a
light, went and examined the body, and found
that he was dead, and had been shot through his
heart ; a pistol was lying by hi side. He had no
niditey in his:pockets, except a few halfpence.,--
One of his pockets appeared to have been turr•:ed
oat.' It has since been asceitained that he was a
.native of Switzerland. . He had changed a 101.
Bank of England note at a boot-maker's Fleet,
street, on Tuesday, for the purchase of two pairs
:of boots, One-pair of them lie bad.on at the time
he Was found. .

AGRICULTURE, &c.

REPORTS FOR NOVEMBER

ENGLAND:

Very little wheat yet sown, and, where the sea
has been put in, the operation has been badly per=
formed from the letness of the land. Scarcely
any young wheats have.appeared aboYe ground;
eNeepting in th6se few districts where very early
sowing, is practised. The' backwardness of the
seaSoa has -been universal ; extending. to 'every
'branch of inisbandry. Clover seed and beans stn.(
abroad, receivin considerable injury, and not im-
probably part of the latter ma remain 'abi-oatt
until the return of bean setting.. Some oats anti
barley, still out, must he li4yested by the hogs.
The aln.t e account refers chiefly to our earliest
and best tilled counties ; iu the north, of coarse,
the harvest *has been still more back,.vard,
sive,. and emb,arrassing ; and as it scents scarcely to complete the required brea Ith of
autnmnal wheat-sortling, no doubt but recourse
will be had to spring wheat, hitherto so success-
ful, to an unusual extent, in the. ensuing•yar.
Garden seeds have generally failed. peas
rise but indifferently in Suffolk. Much corit_stilt
out in the fen countleg.. The great hurry irk the
farmers of thrashing and sending wheat to mar-
ket abated, or rather at an end.

Lord Erskine has planted above a million of
trees, on his estate in Sussex.

SCOTLAND.
EAST-LOTIIIAN.

At the beginning of the month a considerable,
number of, fields, principally after beans and pease.
remained to he sown with wheat, and the weather
bcing, favourable, the opportunity of bringing that
blisiness.to a favourable conclusion was eagerly ens-
braCed by every individual concerned in the mat-
ter. Happily most of the farmers got. what they
intended sown, in decent order, previous to the Sth,
as abotathat period the weather broke, and nothing-.
of any consequence could have been done since, on
account of the ground, espcially the clays, being
completely saturated by frequent very heavy rains.
From the same cause, the ploughing of white
. stubbles has been considerably retarded ; but, at
this seastm of the year, that -
,is a subject •of no
great importance. The injury such rains do to
turnip stock is a Matter of higher concern, as it is
well known that the feeding of sheep, in particu-
lar, is greatly impeded by a continuance of cold
and rainy weather. Corn markets -have
freely supplied of late, without,. however, any ap-
pearance of a decline in pric6. As the present
high prices must, in a great measure, be ()will
to the deficiency of crops in other quarters, it is
impossible to say.whether they have seen their,
height ; but one thing is certain —tear grain at
early a period of the .season will have the nem-,
sary effeet of compelling people to be economists,
by which a sufficiency may be reserved for the
sumwer: Such s remedy iseertainly harsh,
must be severeiy felt by many; nevertheless it is
evidently better than that the country should be
so completely' exhausted, as it was at tile begin
ning of last harvest, when a single peck of meal
could not be had for moncy in many districts of
the country.---N0v..30.

At the 'Si irtinmus market, held at inverna.
last week, there was a considerable show of • cat-
tle, but few buyer's ; of course the prices.were
low. Horses Were much in demand, and such
as were worth buying.sold readily at high prics..
