Captign William Henry Percy, late of his Majesty's
ship Hermes. . .
Monde, alders Chat, Dec. 16, 1814.
Sm— Having arrived at the anchorage off Chaude-
leur Islands oh the Bth instant, •Captain Gordon, of
the Seahorse (which ship, with the Armide and So-
phie, I had sent on from off Pensacola to the an-
chorage within Isle au Vaisseau), reported to me that
two gun vessels of the enemy, apparently large size
sloops, of very light draught of water, had fired at
the Armide upon her way down, from within the
chain of small islands that run parallel to the coast
from Mobile towards Lee Borgne, and having after-
wards joined three others cruizing in the Lake, were
then visible from his mast head.
The Bayon Catalan (or des Pecheurs) at the head I
of Lac Borgne, being the contemplated point of dis-
embarkation, the distance from the inner anchorage
of the frigates and troop ships to the Bayon full sixty
miles, and our principal means of transport open
boats, it became impossible that any movement of
the troops could take place until this formidable
flotilla was either captured or des'royed.
Rear-Admiral Malcolm joined me with the fleet
upon the 11th instant; and upon the 12th I placed
the launches, barges, and pinnaces of the squadron,
with Captain Montressor, of the Manly, and Captain
Roberts, of the Meteor, under the command of Cap-
tain Lockyer, of the Sophie, and sent them into Lac'
Borgne, in pursuit of the enemy, while the frigates,
troop-ships, and smaller vessels moved into the
inmost anchorage, each vessel proceeding on until
she took the ground.
After an arduous row of thirty-six hours, Captain
Lockyer had the good fortune to close with the
flotilla, which he attacked with such judgment and
determined bravery, that notwithstanding their for-
midable force. their advantage of a chosen position,
and their studied and deliberate preparation, he suc-
ceeded in captoriog the whole of these vessels, in so
serviceable a state as to afford at once the most es-
sential aid to the expedition.
For the particulars of this brilliant affair, I refer
their Lordships to the accompanying copy of Cap-
tain Lockyer's letter, detailing his proceedings,
which, I am fully aware, their Lordships will duly
appreciate.
Captain Lockyer's conduct on this occasion, in
which he has been Severely wounded, and his long
and active services as a commander; justly entitling
him to their Lordships protection, and finding it ex-
pedient to place this flotilla collectively upon the
establishment of a thirty-six gun frigate, I have
appointed him to the command thereof.
Captain Montressor, whom I have placed in the
command of the gun vessels, until Captain Lockyer's
wounds will admit of his serving, and Captain
Roberts, whom I have before had occasion to men-
tion to their Lordships, together with Lieutenants
Tatnell and Roberts, of the Tonnant, and the whole
of the officers mentioned by C tptain Lockyer, I trust
will not fail to meet their Lordships notice.
Our loss has been severe, part.cularly in officers,
but considering that this successful enterprize has
given us the command of Lac Llurgne, and consider-
ably reduced our deficiency of transports, the effort
has answered my fullest expectations.
I have the honour to bc, &e.
ALEXANDER CoCHRANE, Vice-
Admiral and Commander in Chiel.

Ills Majesty's sloop Sophie, Cat Island Roads,
December
Sitt—l beg leave to inform yeti, that in pursuance
of your orders, the, boats of the squadron which you
did me the honour to place under my COMM Ind,
Were foamed into three divisions (the first headed by
myself, the second by Captain Montrestor, of the
Manly, and the tit;rd by Captain Roberts, of the
Meteor), and proceeded o h the night of the I 2th
instant from the frigate's anchorage, in quest of the
enemy's flotilla.
Atter a very tedious row of thirty-six hours, during
which the enemy attempted to escape from us, the
wind fortunately obliged him to anchor off Saint
Joseph's Lland, and nearing him on the morning of
the 14th. I discovered his force to consist of five
gun-vessels of the I irgest dimensions, which were
moored in a line abreast, with springs on their cables
and boarding nettings triced up, evidently prepared
for our reception.
Observing also, as we approached the flotilla, an
armed sloop endeavouring to join them, Captain Ro-
berts, who volunteered to take her with part of his
division. succeeded in cutting her off and capturing
her without much opposition.
About ten o'clock, having closed to within long
gun-shot, I directed the boats to come to a grapnel,
and the people to get their breakfasts ; and as soon
as they had finished we again took to our oars, and
pulling up to the enemy against a strong current,
running at the rate of nearly three miles an hour, ex-
posed to a heave,' and destructive fire of round and
grape, about noon I had the satisfaction of closing
with the Commodore in the Seahorse's barge.
After several minutes obstinate resistance; in which
the greater part of the officers and crew of this boat]
were either killed or wounded, myself amongst the,
Litter, severely, we succeeded in boarding, and being
seconded by the Seahorse's first barge, commanded
by Mr. White, Midshipman, and aided by the boats
Of the Tonnant, commanded by Lieutenant Tatnell,
we soon carried her, and turned her guns with good
effect upon the remaining tour.
During this time Captain Montressor's division was
making every possible exertion to close with the
enemy, and with the assistance of the other boats,
then joined by Captain Roberts, in about five minutes
we had possession of the whole of the flotilla.
I have to lament the loss of many of my brave and
gallant companions, who gloriously fell in this at-
tack; but considering the great strength of the ene-
my's vessels (whose force is underneath described)
and their state of preparation, we have by no means
suffered so severely as might have been expected.
I am under the greatest obligations to the Officers,
seamen, and marines, I had the honour to command
on this occasion, to whose gallantry and exertions
the service is indebted for the capture of these vessels;
any comments of mine would fall short of the praise
due to them : I am especially indebted to Captains
Montressorand Robsrtsfor their adviceand assistance,
they are entitled to more than I can say of them, and
have my best thanks for the admirable style in which'
they pushed on withjtheir divisions to the capture of
the remainder of the enem s flotilla. •
Is ask expedition of . *byre a suy were

concerned, and so mnch personal exertion and
every was displayed, I find it impossible to narti.

Lieutenant George Pratt, second of the Seahnrs.,,
who commanded that ship's boat', and was in .thie;

verely wounded, and at last so &Ingot-misty, chat I
fear the service will he deprived 4if this g.►liant mnd

General the Honourable Sir E. I'akenham, and

Major-General Gibs, and deprived the service of the

,everely %I minded, I send the Plantagenet to Eng-

volved, and to inform my Lords Commission rt of

forces since my arc 411 upon ti,is
T.ie accompanying letters, N 163 and 169, of
the ith And 16th uhituu, will acquaint their Lord.
ships of the proceedings of the squ.cdron to the 15th•
of December.

The great distance from the anchorage of the fri-
gates and tro ,p ships to the Bayon Catalan, which,
from the best information we could gain, appeared
to offer the most secure, and was indeed the oaly un-
protected spot whereat to effect a 41! mb 1/4 ation,
and our means, even with the addition of the cap-
tured enemy's gun vessels, only atfordiog us trans-
port for halt the army, exclusive of the gnashes that
were required, it became necessary, in order to have
support for the division that would first land, to as-
semble the whole at some intermediate position, from
whence the second division could be re-embarked in
vessels brought light into the Lake, as near the
Bayon as might -be practicable, amid remain there
until the boats could land the first di% ,sion and
return.

Upon the 16th therefore the advance, commanded
by Colonel Thornton, of the 85th regiment, was put
into the gun-vessels and boats, and Captain Gordon.
of the Seahorse, proceeded with them, and took post
upon the Isle aux Poix, a small swampy spot at the
mouth of the Pearl river, about 30 miles from the
anchorage, and nearly the same distance from the
Rayon, where Major-General Keane, Rear-Admiral
Codrington, and myself joined them on the following
day ; meeting the gun-vessels and boats returning trt
the shipping for, troops and supplies of stores and
provisions.
The Hon. Captain Spencer, of the Carrots, and
Lieutenant Peddy, of the Quarter-Master-C.eneral'a
department, who were sent to reconnoitre the Dayon
Catalan, now returned with a favoura!dc report of its
poSition for disembarking the army ; haviieg, with
their guide, pulled up in a canoe to the he.ici of the
Bayou, a distance of eight miles, and landed within
a mile and a half if the high road to, and about six
miles Mow, N.w Oile tn., where they crossed the
road without meeting with any interruption, or per-
ceiving the least preparaton oa the past of the cue.
my. The severe chang.:s of the weithei, from rain
to fresh gales and hard frost, retlicliisg the boats in
their repeated passages to and from theshipping,' it
was not until the 21st that (leaving on board the
greater part of the two black regimenti and the.dra.
goons) we could assemble troops and supplies suffi-
cient to admit of our proceeding ; and on that day
we commenced the embarkation of the second divi-
siOn in the gun-vessels, such of the hired craft As
could be brought into the Lakes, and the Anaconda,
which by the, greatest exertions had been got oust
the shoal passages.

A picquet, which the enemy had taken the preeau-

jor General Keane, with Rear Admire, Malcolm and
the advance, moved up the Rayon, and having effec-
ted ; landing at daybreak, in the course of the dry
was enables} to take up a position across the main
road tr New Qrleaes, between the river Mississippi
fr.l the Rayont
In this situation, about an hour after sunset, and
before the bo .ts could return with the second division,
an enemy's schooner of 14 guns, and an armed *hip
of 16 guns, having dropped down the Mississippi, the
former commenced a brisk cannonading, which was
followed up by an attack of the whole of the
American army. Their troops were, however, beaten
back, and obliged to retire with considerable loss, and.
Major General Keane advanced somewhat beyond
his former position. As soon as the second division
was brought up, the gun vessels and bpats returnee'
for the remainder of the troops, the small armed sea.:
men gad marines of the squadron, and such supplies
as were required.
On the 25th, Major General Sir E. Pakenhana and
Major Gerteral Gibbs irrived at head-quarters, when
the former took command of :he army.
The schooner which had continued at intervals to
annoy the troops having been burnt on the 27th by
hot shot from our artillery, and the ship having i
warped farther up the river, the following day the
general moved forward to within gnu shot of an eO-.*
trenclunent which the enemy had newly.thrown upi
extending across the cultivated ground from the Mrs.
sissippi to an impassable swampy wood on big left, a
distance of about 1000 yards.
It being thought necessary tp bring heavy. artillery
against this work, and also against the ship which had
cannonaded the army when advancing, guns were
brought up from the shipping, and on the Ist instant'
batteries were opened; but our fire not having the
desired effect, the attack war deferred until the arri-
val of the troops under Maier General Lambert,
which were daily expected.
Major General Lambert, in the Vengeur, with a
convoy of transports, having on board the 7th and
45d regiments, reached the outer anchorage on the
Ist, and this reinforcement was all brought up to the
advance on the 6th instant, while preparations were
making for a second attack, in the. propoted plan
for which, it was decided to throw a body of men
across the river to gain possession of the enemy's
guns cn the right bank. For this purpose the canal
by which we were enabled to conduct provisions and
stores towards the camp was widened and extended to
the river, and about fifty barges, pinnaces, and cut-
ters, having, in the day time of the 7th, been tracked
under cover and unperceived, close up to the bank,
at night the whole were dragged into the Mississippi,
and placed under tilt. command of Captain Roberts
of the Meteor.
The boats having grounded in the canal, ; distance
of 550 yards from the river, and the bank being com-
posed of vet clay thrown out of the canal, it was not
until nearly day-light that with the utmost possible
exertions this service was completed.
The Stith regiment, with a division of seamen under
Captain Money, and a division of marines under
Major Adair, the whole amounting to about 600
men, commanded by Colonel Thornton, of, the 85th
regiment, were embarked and landed on the right
bank of the river without opposition, just after day-
light ; and the armed boats moving up the river as
the troops advanced, this part of the operations suc-
ceeded perfectly ; the enemy having been driven from
every position, leaving behind him 17 pieces of
Cannon. .
The great loss, however, sustained by the principal
attack, having induced General Lambeet.tq send or:-
ders to Colonel Thornton to retire, after spiking the
guns and destroying the carriages, the whole were re-
embarked and brought back, and the boats by a :
similar process of hard labour were again dragged,7
into the Canal, and from thence to the Rayon, con-.
veying at the same time such of the wounded as it
was thought requisite to send off to the triaips.,•,
Major-General Larnberthaving determined to with-
draw the army, measures were taken to re-embark '
the whole of the sick and wounded that it was pos-
sible to move, and the stores, ammunition, ordnance
arc. with such detachments of the army,seamen, alai
marines, as were not immediately wanted( in order
that the remainder of the army might retire enin.

after having ascertained bis identity, they shall de-
mand against him the punishment of the law.
2. They shall punish in the same manner, all the
military and enspkyeer of every rank who sh4U, have
itccompinied or followed the foresaid Bonaparte, in
his invasion of the French territory, if within,eight
days frost the date hereof, they do not submit them-
selves to.the civil or military Authorities. _ _

The Bcl and 4th Articles provide for the punlih-
113ellt of civil and military Authorities Who shill,
by word or deed, promote the flames of rebellion.
The .sth and last Article relates to the making
public of this Ordonnance.
Given at the Thuilleries, 6th March, 1815.
His Royal Highness has set off in great haste• for
L yo nt—Motsitetw.

The foregoing intelligence produced a considerable
sensation in this Capital, as soon as the contents of
the French Papirs were known, and sensibly affec-
ted the Funds. It was won observed that two of die
most eminent Foreign broken were selling largely,
and the Consols which opened at 61 for the account,
speedily fell to 63. _ _

Various rumours were also circulated to account
for the fall in the funds : as, that a large loaii Wasio
be instantly applied for ; that Parliament was about
to be dissolved ; thitt there ate dissentioni in the CI.
binet, kc. &c. These are, however, mere idle sur:
mises. The possibility of a new war with France
furnishes a sufficient cause fur alarm in the Stock
Market.

Brussels and Frankfort Papers have also reached
us, but their dontentware comparatively unimportant'.
None of the Minor French •Journals contain a
single word of the above important intelligence. Tlie
Journal des Dekts of the 7th only announces the de
parture of the King's brothers, MONSIRURt and the
Duc de BLRIU. for Lyons. ' One article from Naples
complains loudly of the ingratitude of the Allies to
MURAT. Can the movements of Ibis man be con-
nected with those of BONAPARTE ?
The private letters from Paris say, that BONA,
PARTS has landed at Frejus at the head of 8,606 rani,
had erected the Imperial Standard and been joined
by many thousand partizans, and was matching to-
wards Lyons.
Some accounts state, that he waswithin fottpeight
hours post of Paris.
Some of the letters state, but do not mention on
what authority, that Mr. MADISON has refused to
ratify the Treaty of Ghent?
