DOWNING-S'IsItEET, NOVEMUER 11.

A Dispatch, of which the following is an extract,
was this day received by EA 13.ithurst, one of his
Majesty's Principal S7'cretaries of State, from Lien-
tendat•General Sir G. Prevost, Bart. Cummanduag
his -.Majesty's lo;ces in /lurch America.

Ircrti r, Attz,-J3t 25, 1313.

Major-General rrocter ktving given way to the
-clamour of cur Indian allies, to act offensively,
moved forward on '2oth ultimo, wit:: about three
hundred and fifty of the list regimclt, and between
;three arid fear thOusand Indians, and on tilc CI inst.
attempted to carry, by assault, the hiock-houses and
works at Sandusky, v..hcre the enemy had concen-
trated a considerable force. The Indians, however,
previously to the assault, withdrew themselves from
cut of the rc,ich of the enemy's fire.

The handfull of his Majesty's troops employed on
this occasion, displayed the greatest bravery—nearly
the whole of them having reached the fort, and made
every eff,ift to enter it; but a galling anddestructive
fire being kept up by the enemy, within the block-
houses and from behind the picketing, which com-
pletely protected them, and which we had not the
means to force, the Major-General thought it most
prudent tint to continue lOnger so unavailing a con-
test : he accordingly drew off the assailants, and
returned to Sandwich, with the loss of twenty-five
killed, as many missing, and about forty wounded.
Amongst the former are Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel
Shorn, and Lieutenant J. G. Gordon, of the 41st
;eginient.

I am happy to be able to acquaint your Lordship,
that it aPpeara by further accounts received from
Major-General Procter to the 23d instant, that the
enemy bad been disappointed in an attempt to create
distrust and disaffection amongst our Indian allies,
by a deputation of Chiefs, sent by them for that pur-
pose, and that in a talk, which took place between
the Deputies from the American Indians and the
Chiefs of our Indian. warriors, the contempt with
Which General Harrison's proposals were received
by the latter, and the determination expressed by
them of adhering so the cause of their Great Father
in England, appeared sensibly to affect the Deputies,
and affords strong grounds to believe that the na-
tions whom they represented will not be induced to
ti,lce up arms against us, or their Indian brethren
actitig with us.

On my arrival at this fro :tier, I found two thou.
sand British soldivi4 on an extended line, caoping up
in Fr;t George, an American force exceeding tour
thous.l.4 men : feeling desirous of ascertainins in
person the extent of the enen;y's works, 'and. of view.
ing the means he possessed for defending the position
he occupied, 1 ordered a general demonstration to
be made. Fort George- to commence by the attack
and stnTme of :al the American piquets thrown out
in its :roc,. This service was execated to my entire
satieaction ; the piquets were driven in, a great,part
of them heing taken, with a very trifling loss, and I
found myrelt cicse to the fort, and the new entrench-
ed camp which is.f.rrned on the right of that work,
both of them crowded with men, bristled with cannon,
and supported by the fire from Fort Niagara, on the
opposite.side of the river; but no provocation could
induce tli;! Americin army to leave their places of
shelter, and venter 7 iato the fielct. Having made a
display of rn i.Jrce in vain, a deliberate retreat en-
sued without a casualty. •

Since I:st,l the honour of addressing your Lord-
, slip on the Ist instant, every possible exertion has
been made by Cmnmodore Sir James Yen, but in
vain, ti' bring the enemy's squadron to a decisive
.actions repeatedly Las he offered them battle, and
as repeattdly have they declined it, which their great
superiority in sailing►, together with the light and
bafilling winds picvaihng on the Lake at this season,
has enabled-them hitherto effectually to do. He,
however, was fortunate euoul;h, on the night of the
instant, to get so close to with the enemy, as to
