DOWNING-STRRET, SEPTEMBER 20.
Captain hutvotsz, Aid-de-Cemp to Lieutenant-
General Deuremoen, arrived this morning with a,
Dispatch from Lieutenant General Sir GEORGE PRE-1
YOST, Bart. addressed to Earl BATHURST, of which the
follow ing is an extract :
Head Quarters, Montreal, August S.
I haves the satisfaction • of trensmitting to your
, Lordship, Lieutenant General Drummond's (knell of
the distinguished exertions of that division of the
army. near the falls of Niagara, on the 25th of last
month, when the skill of his Majesty's Generals, and.
the valour and discipline of his troops, were eminently
conspicuous ; and I beg leave to join the Lieutenant-
. Ceeeral, in humbly soliciting his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent's gracious consideration, of the meri-
torious services of the Office's particularized in his
Report.
• This dispatch will be delivered to your Lordship
by Captain Jervoise, Aid-de-Camp to Lieutenant Ge-
ller il Dr tremoretl ; having shared in the events of
the'tr.th, he can satisfy your Lordship's inquiries re-
specting them, and is well calculated, from his local
knoe ledge, to give your Lordship full information
upon the state of Cie Upper Province. •
Head Quarters, Upper Canada, near Niagara July C 7.
• Slit —I embarked on board his Majesty's schooner
Netley, at York, on Sunday evening, the 21th inct.
and reached Niagara at daybreak the followini mor-
ning. Finding, from Lieutenant Colonel Tinker,
that Mejor General Rill' was understood to be moving
tow trds the Falls of Niagara tie supper! the ;advance
cf his division, which he had pushed On'to thae-gaci
n the receding evening, I ordered Liersteminn eftlo-
nel Morris nn; with the 89th regiment,'ind a detect'.
• melt of the Royals and King's, drawn tenni Fort
.G6erge, and Misslieega, to proceed to die same point,
in order that, wall the united force, I mien act
against the enemy (posted at Street's Creek, ivith his
advance at Chippewa) on my arrival, if it should be
found expedient. ordered Lieutenant Ceionel
• st tieker, at the-same time to pi oceed upthe right bank
of the river with three hundred of the 444 and aboet
two' hundred of the Royal Scuts, and a body of In-
-dian WairterS supported (on the river) by a party of
.armed seamen, under Captain Dobbs, Royal Navy.
.The object of this-movement was to disperse-or cap-
ture a 'bddy of the enemy which was encamped at
j,,esvieton, . Some unavoidable delay having occurred
ilex the March of the troops up the right bank, the
. -enemy-bed moves, off previous to Lieutenant Colonel
'Tucker's arrival. I have to express myself satisfied
with the exertions of that officer. •
Having refreshed the troops. at Queenston, and
inviter' bi ought across the 41st, Royals, and. 'lndians,
• ') sent bock the filet and 100th regiments to firm the'.
,garrisons of the Farts George, Mississagae and Niae
.Sara, under Lieutenant Colonel Tacker, and moved,
,with the 89th, and detacimieuts of the Royale and
King's, and light company of the list, in all abort
'eight kindred men, to join Major General.Rieire di-
.
1.116111 a; the Falls.
When arrived within a few' miles of that position,
1 wiet a 'report from Major General that the
enemy was advancing in great force. I immediately
palied on, and joined the head of Lieutenant Colo-
eiel Morrison's colunin, just as it reached the Mad
leading towards the Beaver Dam, over thestiinmit
cE 'the hill at Lundy's Lane. Incead of the whiibt of
Mejer General Riali's division, which I exitteted to
leave found occupying .this position, I found it almost
in the occupation of tie enemy, whoee columns were
within 600 yards of the top of the hill, and the. sur-
rounding woods tilled wiili his Light troops. The
advance of Major General Riell's division, consisting
of the Glengarry tight Infantry and Incorporated
Militia, having commenced thew retreat upon Fort
George, I countermanded these corps, and. formed
the 89th regiment and the Royal Scots detachments!
and 41st ligot companies in the rear of the hill, their
left resting on the great. read ; my two 24-poinider
krees Bald guns a little adeeeced in flout of the centre
oei the summit oft he hid ; the Glengarry Light
In-
(entry en the right, the battalion of ratori 'orateciVi,
eit,a, and the detachment atilt Ku g's Reeimeut os
the left of the great road the squadron 194. Light
progeoos in the rear of the left on the rc,ad. I bad
ticarce)y completed this formation vi hen the .wleole.
(tOnt was'warmly and closely engaged. The..enepeey'e
principal tfroris . were directed against cur left and
centre. After repeated attacks, the troops ore the left
were partially forced heck, and the,enemy gained a-
momentary poeseesion of the road, This gave him,
however, no iftiterialndvantage, as the troops which
1144 been forced *back formed" in the-reaeOf the 89d;'
reeimente fronting the rpad, and securing the flank.,
le-I,wet, doring tins !hop interval that Major-Gene-'
r'l ltisil,`l:,r,ng received a Severe. jicklind4 le4s
t.e,re..ekt4 at he was poesile. to the rear, by a Pail /di

the enemy's eavalry, and made prisoner. In the cen-
tre-the repeated and determined attacks Of the enemy
were met by the 89th regiment, the detachments of
the Royals, and King's, and the light company 41st
regiment, with the most perfect steadiness and hue!.
pid gallantry, and the enemy was constantly repulsed
with very heavy loss. Of so determined a manner
weretlits attacks directed against our guns, that our
artillerymen were bayonetted by the enemy in the
act of loading, and the muzzles of the enemy's guns
were advanced within a few yards of ours.
The darkness of the night during this extraordinary
conflict occasioned several uncommon incidents; our
troops having for a moment been pushed back, some
of our guns remained for a few minutes in the enemy's
hands—they were, however, not only quickly re-
covered, but the two pieces, a 6-pounder and a..5i
I inch howitzer, which the enemy had brought up,
were captured by us, together with several tumbrils,
and is limbe; nig up our guns at one period, one of
the enemy's 6-pounders was put, by mistake, upon a
Lniber of ours, and one of cur 6-pounders limbered.
on one of his; by which means the pieces were ex—
changed, and thus, though we captured two of his.
guns, yet, as he obtained one of ours, we have gained
only one, gun.
About nine o'clock (the nylon having commenced
at six) there was a short intermission of firing„ during
'.which it appears the enemy was employed in bringing '1
up the whole of his remaining force, and he shortly
afterwards renewed his attack with fresh troops, but
was every whe:e repulsel with equal gallantry and:
SUCCESS. About this period the remainder of Major.:
General ltiall's division, which had been ordated to
retire on the adeance of the enemy, consisting of the
108 d regiment under Colonel Scott; the head-quar-
ter division of the Royal Scots ; the headluatter
vision of the Bth Or King's; flank companies 104th.
Sonie detachments of militia under Lieutenant Cole.
nel Hamilton, Inspecting Field ()lacer, joined the
troops engaged, and I placed them in a second line,
with the exception of the Royal Scots, and flank com-
panies 104th, with which 1 prolonged my frontline
on the right, where I was apprehensive of the enemy's
outflanking me.
The enemy's efforts to carry the hill were conti.
nued until about midnight, whets he had suffered so
severely from the supesor steadiness and discipline
of his Majesty's troops, that he gave up the contest
and retreated with great precipitation to his camp,
beyond the Chippawa.
On the following day he abandoned his camp, threw
the greatest part of his baggage, camp equipage, and
provisions, into the Rapids ; and having set fire to
Street's Mills and destroyed the bridge at Chippawa,
continued his retreat in great disorder towards Fort
Erie. 'My troops, cavalry .and Indians,• are.
detached in pursuit, and to harasS his retreat, which
I doubt not he will continue until he reach,:s his own
share.

The less sustainc,d by the enemy in this severe ac-
tion, cannot be estituated at less than fifteen hundred
men, including several hundreds of pris•mers' lett in
our hands; his two commanding Generals Brown
and Scott, are said Ole wounded; his whole force,
which.has never been rated at less than five thousind,
having been engaged. • ,Enclosed I have the honour
to transmit a retina of our.loss, whichlas* been very
,considerable. The number of troops under my com-
mand' did not for the first three hours exceed sixteen
hum r,:d men ; the' addition of the troops. under Co-
lonel cicott, did not h:crease it to more than two th.,u.
sand eight hundred of every description.

_ .
_ .
- A very difficult, but at the same time i most gra-
tifying duty 'remains, that of endeavouring tcy do jus.
tice to Are merits of the off=icers and soldiers by whose
valour and discipline this important sticcas has- been
pbtained. 1 was very early in tire action deprived of
the Services of Major-General Riall, who, I regret to'
;earls, has sacred' the amputation of his arm* in the
enemy's possession; his bravery, zeal and activity
have alnaayl-been conspicuous. •
To Lieutenant-Colonel Harveyabeputy Adjutant
I General, I. am so deeply indebted. for his valuable
assistance previous to, as well as hi. able and ener-
getic exertions during this severe contest, that I feel
myself called upon to point your 'Excellency's atten-
tion to -.lie distinguished met its of this highly deur viif
I ()Oka, whose smite* have been particularly coneys-
ctusus in every affair that has taken place since his
arrival in this province. The zeal and intelligence
displayed by Major Glegg. Assistant-Adjutrut-Ge-
Aeral, deserve my wireirest 4probation.
. I much regret the loss of -a
very intelligent and
promising young officer, Liniment Moorsom, 104th
vethirent, ' I Yeput y 'Altai t a tit 'Adjutant-General, who
was killed towards the close of the action. The ac-
tive exertions of Captain Elliot, Deputy As4stant-
-Q,tartcr-Master-Gentral, of whose. &identify and
conduct I :lad occasion in' two former instances
tv re:nark, were couspicu,,us. Major •Maule and,
Lieutenant La 'Breton, of the Quarter-Master.Gene-'
ral's Department, were extremely useful to me; the
latter was severely wounded.' • • :
Amongst the officers from whose active exertions
I derived the greatest assistance, I cannot omit.to
mention my Aides.tle•Cang, Qiptaing Jervoise and
Loring, and Captain Holland, Aide-de-Camp to Ma-
jor:.General Riall ; Captain Loring was unfortunately
taken prisoner by some of the enemy's DragoOns,
whilst in the execution of an order.
In reviewing the action from its commencement,l
the first object which presents itself as deserving ofl
notice is the steadiness and good countenance ofthe
squadron of the 19th Light Dragoons, under "Major
Lisle, and the very creditable and excellent defence
made by the incorporated militia battalion, under
ideutert.. snt-Colonel Robinson, who was dangerously
wounded, and• a detachment of the Bth (King's) re-
giment, 'under Colonel Campbell.
:Major Kirby succeeded Li:Artenant-Colonel Ro-
binson in the command Of-the incorporated militia
battalion, and conlinued-vertgallantly to direct its
effort:..; this battalion ha onlpiseeis organiLed a few
months, and, much to the credit of Captain Robin-
ion, of the King's Regiment (Provincial Lieutenant-
' Colonel.) his attained kt•hig.hiprespectible degree ef
# discipline.
In the reiterated and determined attacks which
the enemy made on our centre, for the purpose of gain-
, ins at once the crest of the position and our guns, the
steadiness' and intrepidity displayed by the troops al-
lotted for the defence of that post, were never sur-
passed: they consisted of the 2d bittalionof the h9th
..reginmt, commanded by Lieutenant-Coknel Mar-
!risers, and ether the Lieutenant-Colonel had been.
•

'obliged to retire frotti*the geld by a severe wound,
by Major Cl.fford ; a detachment of the Royal scots,
under Lieutenint Hemphill, and after he was killed
'Lieutenant Fraser; detachment of the Bth orKing's,
under Captain Campbell ; light company 4th regi-
ment, under Captain Glow, with some detachments
of militia, under Lieutenant-Colonel Parry, 03d re-
giment ; these troops repeatedly, when bard pressed,
formed round the colours of the 89th regiment, and
invariably repulsed the desperate efforts made against
them.

' On the right, the steadiness and good countenance
of the Ist battalion Royal Scots, under Lieutenant-
Celonel Gordon, in some very trying moments, ex-
cited my admiration. The King's Regiment (Ist
battalion) under Major Evans, behaved with equal
gallantry and firmness ; as did the light company of
the Royals, detached under Captain Stewast ;*the
grenadiers of the 103 d, detached under Captain
Browne t and the flank companies of the fOith, un-
der Captain Leonard.
The Glengarry light infantry, under Lieutenant-
Colonel Battersby, displayed inns; valuable qualities
as light troops • ,Colonel Scott, Major Smelt, and
*the officers of the 103 d, deserve credit for their exer-
tions in rallying that regiment, after it had been
thrown into momentary disorder; Lieutenant-Colo.
nel Pearson, Inspecting Field Otficer, directed the
advance with great intelligence ; and i.ientenant-Co-
bnel Drunimnad, of the 10kli, baying gone forward
with my permission early in the day, made himself
actively useful in different parts of the field, under
my direction.; these Officers Are entitled to my best
thanks; as is Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton, Inspect-
ing Field Officer, .for his exertions after his arrival
with the troops under Colonel Scott.
The field artillery, so long as there was light, was
well serreJ.

The credit of its eliCient state is due to Captain
Mackonachie, who has had charge of it since. his ar-
rival with this division. Captain bdaleaucblan, who
has charge of the batteries at Fort Missassaga, volua-
terred his services in the field on this occasion; he
WAS severely wounded. Lieutenant Tornkins de-
serves much credit for the way in which the two
brass 21-pounders, of which he had charge, were
served ; as does Serjeant Austin, of the rocket com-
pany, who directed the Cmgreve rockets, which did
much execution.

"The zeal, loyalty, and bravery a ith which the mi-
litia of this part of the province had ccme forward,
to co-operate with his Majesty's troops - in the expul-
sion of the enemy, and their conspicuous gallantry in
this and in the action of the sth instant, claim my
warmest thanks.

I cannot conclude this dispatch, without- recom-
mending, in the strongest-terms, the-following -off-
cers, nhose conduct durin thnlate operations has
called for marked approbation; aisd,l alt) induced to
hope that your Excellency will .ba:Ple4ied-to submit
