Monday se'nuight mob, consisting chiefly of
females, visited the millers and flour-dealers at
Grantham, .insisting upon a reduction in the
price of flour. A meeting of the millers' was held
to fix the price of flour for the week, when
they agreed to lower it fourpence per stone. :The
mob deeming this reduction insufficient, manifest-
ed their resentment by breaking the windows
of the millers, but tranqUility vrlts'socitt'restored ;
and on Tuesday the-Aldermen called meetint;,"
when the best flour was reduted. to its'. 6d. which
had been previously sold for Gs. 4d. per 'stone. If
the above statement is correct, we hope that this
rapid fall was not produCed by alarm, but by fair
competition, otherwise the precedent is most mis-
ihievous.

Extract of a Dispatch frorii Lieutenant-Gen?ral Sir George
Prcvosc, to Earl ILithui•st, dated Montreal, 17th August
1812. , ,

I haVe the "honour to inform your Lordship,
ih,cit au invasion of Upper Canada tool: place on
the 12th July la4t; Me t:ae,my having on that day
crossed the River Detroit with a.force, composed
Of regular troops and militia, together with forty
or fifty cavahi, amounting in the whole to about
two thousand three inindrc!. men, under the com-
mand of Brigadier-Gelteral Hull,,and tools post at
Sandwich.

The militia in the neighbourhood not being able
to oppose 'any effectual resistance, retreate&uport
their apoi'mieli towards Fort Arnhcrtsburg, about
twelve miles distant. Part of the enemy's. force
having since advanced 'to within six miles of that
fort, several skirmishes have taken place between
them and the troops of the garrisdn, ;which have
constantly terminated in fAvour of the latter, with
the less of several Alen on the part of the, enemy,
and of only one soldier of the.4lst killed, arid
another wounded, and a similar loss on, the part
of the.lndians and lam happy to say, that on
these occasions his Majesty's 41st,regimeirt in
particular manner distinguished themselves.
