Captain Pinson, Aid-de-camp to Lieut. Gen. Sir G.
PREVOST, arrived late last night with a dispatch from
that Officer, addressed to Earl BATHURST, one of his
Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, of which the
following is a copy;

If Head-quarters, Montreal, October 21, 1212.
44 My Loan-.-I have the satisfaction of reporting
to your Lordship, that his Majesty's forces, aided by
the militia and Indians stationed on the Niagara fron-
tier, have completely repelled a second attempt of the
enemy to invade Upper Canada ; and !hat a victory has
been gained, which has left in our possession 900 of
the American army, and their Commander, Briga-
dier-General Wadsworth, who surrendered himself
on the field of battle to Major-General Sheaffe.—
His Majesty and the country have to deplore the loss
of an able and most gallant officer, in Major-General
Brook, who fell early in the battle, at the head of the
dank companies of the 48th regiment, while nobly
encouraging them to sustain their position, is oppo-
sition to an infinitely superior force, until the rein-
forcements he had ordered to advance to their sup-
pori should arrive,
For (Luther particulars of this splendid afair, I
beg leave to refer your Lordship to Major-General
Sheaffe's Report, herewith transmitted. I also trans-
mit a General Order I have just issued to the forces
in the British American Provinces, on the occasion of
,this important success, as it contains a statement of
the services rendered by all who had the good for-
tune to maintain on that day the fame of his Ma-
jesty's arms, and to convince our deluded neigh-
bours that their superiority in numbers cannot inti-
midate his Majesty's army, nor shake the fidelity of
kris Canadian subjects.

K Not having received the morn of the killed and

wounded on the ISth, nor that of the ordnance an(l

stores captured from the enemy, I am *Wow the ne.l
cessity of deferring sending them to your Lordship
until the next opportunity, when I also expect to for-1
ward the colours taken from the Americans, to be i
laid at the feet of his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent.

" Captain Fulton, my Aid-de-Camp, will have the
honour of delivering this dispatch to your Lordship.
He is very capable of affording such information as
your Lordship may require respecting the state of his
Majesty's Canadian provinces. Eight companies of
the Glengary levy are in motion to reinforce Upper
Canada. I have the honour to be, &c.

0 Fort Coors% Ootobor 13, lel%
a Sot--I hare the honour of informing your Ex.
cellency, that the enemy made an attack with a con-
siderable force this morning before daylight, on the
position of Queenstown. On receiving intelligence
of it, Major-General Brock immediately proceeded
to that post. and I am excessively grieved in having
to add, that he fell whilst gallantly cheering his
troops to an exertion for maintaining it, With him,
' the position was lost ; but the enemy was not allowed
to retain it long. Reinforcements having been sent
up from this post, composed of regular troops, mili-
tia, and Indians, a movement was made to turn his
left, while some artillery, under the able direction of
Captain Holcroft, supported by a body of infantry,
engaged his attention in front. This opeiation was
aided too by the judicious position which Norton, and
the Indians with him, had taken on the woody brow
of the high ground above Queenstown. A commu-
nication being thus opened with Chipawa, a junction
was formed with succours that had been ordered from
that post. The enemy was then attacked, and, after
a short but spirited conflict, was completely defeated.
1 had the satisfaction of receiving the sword of their
commander, Brigadier-General Wadsworth, on the
field of battle ; and many officers, with upwards of
nine hundred men, were made prisoners, and more
may yet be expected. A stand of colours and one
fipounder were also taken. The action did not ter-
minate till nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and
their loss in killed and wounded must have been con-
' siderable. Ours I believe to have been comparatively
i small in numbers I no officer was killed beside; Ma-
jor-General Brock. one of the most gallant and zea.
lous officers in his Majesty's service, whose loss cannot
be too much deplored, and Lieutenant-Colonel
MgDonell, Provincial Aide-de-Camp, whose gallan-
try and merit rendered him worthy of his chief.
" Captains Dennis and Williams, commanding
t the flank companies of the 49th regiment, which were
stationed at Queenstown, were wounded, bravely
i' contending, at the head of their men, against supe-
! rior numbers ; but 1 am glad to have it in my
power to add, that Captain Dennis fortunately was
I able to keep the field, though with pain and difficulty;
land Captain Williams's wound is not likely to l de-
prive me long of his services.
14 I am particularly indebted to Captain.Holeroft,
of the Royal Artillery, for his judicious and skilful
co-operation with the guns and howitzers under his
immediate superintendance, the well directed fire
from which contributed materially to the fortunate
result of the day.
" Captain Derenzy, of the 41st regiment, brought
up the reinforcement of that corps from Fort George;
and Captain Bullock led that of the same regiment
from Chipawa ; and under their command those de-
tachments acquitted themselves in such a manner as
to sustain the reputation which the 41st regiment had
already acquired in the vicinity of Detroit.
fi Major. General Brock, soon after his arrival at
Queenstown; had sent down orders for battering the
American Fort Niagara : Brigade-Major Evans,
who was left in charge of f ort George, directed the
operations against it with so much effect as to silence
its fire, and to force the troops to abandon it, and
by his prudent precautions he prevented mischief of
a most serious nature, which otherwise might have
been effected, the enemy having used heated shot in
firing at Fort George. In these services he was
most effectually aided by Colonel Claus (who re-
mained in the fort at my desire), and by Captain
Vigoreux, of the royal engineers. Brigade-Major
[
vans also mentions the conduct of Captains Powell
ani. Cameron, of the militia artillery, in terms of
commendation.

•• Lieutenant Crowther, of the 41st regiment, had
charge of two three-pounders that had accompanied
the movement of our little corps, and they were em-
ployed with very good effect.
•• Captain Glegg, of the 49th regiment, Aide-de-
Camp to our lamented friend and General, afforded
me most essential auistance ; and I found the ser-
vices of Lieutenant Fowler, of the 41st regiments

GENERAL ORDERS.

of His Excellency the Commander of the Forces
has received an official report from Major-General
Sheaffe, of the brilliant victory achieved on the 13th
inst. by a portion of the troops under his command,
over a division of the enemy's army, which effected a
landing at Queenstown under cover of the night.—
That post was nevertheleas defended with undaunted
gallantry by the two flank companies of the 4Qch re-
giment, animated by the presence of their gallant and
ever-to-be-lamented chief, Major-Oen. Brock, whose
valuable life was on this occasion devoted to his coun-
t:es service. These companies displayed exemplary
discipline and spirit, although the Captains of both
were wounded, and succeded in keeping the enemy in
check until the arrival of Major-General Sheaf& with
reinforcements.

44 The disposition of the forces and plan of attack
adopted by Major General Sheaffe, cannot receive a
higher or more just praise than by stating that nine
hondred prisoners of war, under the command of
Brigadier General Wadsworth, surrendered their
arms to a force inferior in numbers, and without sus-
taining any considerable loss on our part.
44 A siXepounder and a stand of colours have been
taken from the enemy.
" Major General Sheaffe's Report of the zeal and
undaunted gallantry that animated every ufficer and
soldier of his army, affords the Commander of the
Forces the most heartfelt satisfaction, and will'be a
most gratifying duty to his Excellency to bring be-
fore the notice of his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent.

" Lieutenant Colonel Myers, Deputy Quarter-
Master General, was stationed in charge of Fort
Erie, and succeeded in completely silencing the fire
of the enemy, drove a detachment from the encamp-
ment Dear the Black Rock, destroyed a barrack, in
which was a considerable depot of ammunition. Its
explosion must have killed many. The Caledonia,
lately captured by the enemy. was destroyed at her
moorings.

Mims speaks highly of the
discipline of the detachment of the 49th regiment
under Major Ormsby, and of the skill and spirit with
which the guns were served under Captain Kirby and
Lieut. Bryson, of the militia.
" Essential service was tendered by Brigade-Major
Evans, left in charge of Fort George ; a well-directed
fire from that work succeeded in silencing the enemy's
batteries on the opposite side. Captain Vigoursux,
royal engineers, Colonel Claus, and Captains Powell
and Calneroa of the militia, were zealous and inde-
fatigable in their exertions, particularly int extinguish-
ing fire which broke ouz in the Court-House and
other places, from red-hot shot fired by the enemy.

.Captains Dennis and Williams, of the 'Link
companies of the 49th regiment, have particularly
distinguished themselves ; the former officer retained
the command of his company of grenadiers to the
end of the conflict, though suffering severely from his
wound.
To Captain Holcroft, of the royal artillery, the
highest praise is due for his succeuful and judicious
co-operation. The well-directed fire of the artillery
militia as well as the regular, is the best proof of, the
indefatigable zeal and talents of that officer.
44 Major Merritt, commanding the Niagara dra-
goons, accompanied and rendered essential assistance
with part of his corps. Captain A, namilton, be-
longing to it, was disabled from riding, and attached
himself to th 4 guns, under Captain Folcroft, who
speaks highly of his activity and usefulness.
