Saturday the Duke of WELLINGTON after reviewing
and dining with his regiment, the Oxford Blues, had
a narrow escape from a serious accident. In driving
through Brentford about nine o'clock the same even-
ing the finch-pin came out of the fore wheel of his
chaise, by which the carriage was nearly upset. His
Grace was proceeding to town in great haste to be
present at the wedding of a relative, and expressed
much anxiety to get forward, but it unfortunately
happened that another conveyance was not to be pro-
cur6l. In consequence of this he was detained till
the damage was repaired, when it was with great
difficulty that he could prevail on the populace to
relNquish their desire of drawing him to town.
The Duke of WELLINGTON dined with the Earl of
Liveuroot., at his seat at Coombe Wood, on Sunday.
His Grace, on his departure, only took with him one
Aid-dc-Camp, three servants, and one plain carriage.
The Gazette of last night presents the official ac-
count of the action in Upper Canada, of which we
publi,hed a brief summary yesterday. This ap-
pears to have been an affair of greater magnitude,
and attended with more severe consequences, than
we had at first imagined. Our regular troops
amounted to about 1,501►, and more than a third
were killed, wounded, or taken prisoners.—The
chief loss was sustained by the 100th regiment in a
front attack. The battle :vas fought on the sth of
July; and Sir GEORGE PIIkVOST writes on the 13th
from Montreal, that lie did not understand that the
enemy had subsequently attempted to advance. Vert
Erie surrendered to the Americans by capitulation,
before the battle: but no mention is made of the gar-
rison, which we should, therefore, apprehend, was
mace prisoners..
