grLoßD—t have the honour to transmit here-
with, for your Lordship's information, the copy of a
neon which has been forwarded to me by Major-
General Brock, of the surrender, by capitulation, of
the American post of Michilimackinac to a detach.
anent of Ws Majesty's troops from St. Joseph's, under
the command of Captain Roberts, of the 10th Royal
Veteran Battalion. This report is accompanied by
a return of prisoners taken, and of the stores which
were found in the fort.
In addition to these, I have a further report of the
crews of two vessels, to the number off' 43, who were
In the fort, having fallen into our hands together
with 700 packs of furs.
My dispatch, No. 59, will have acquainted your
lordship of a large detachment from the American
Army hiving taken possession of Sandwich on the
nth
Brtgadier-General Hull, I find, commenced' his
*rations against Amhersberg a few days after;
and the detachment of the 41st regiment have beha-
teed with great gallantry in repelling, three attempts
bade by the Americans to approach the fort by the
titer Canard.
These successes, with the diversion on the flank of
the enemy by the possession of Michilimackinac on
ultimo, may be attended with consequences
favourable to the security of Upper Canada.

grs Fort Michilimackinac, July 17, 1812.
On the 15th inst. I received letters by express from
Major-General Brock, with orders to adopt the most
prudent measures either for offence or defence, which
Circumstances might point out ; and having received
intelligence from the best information, that large re-
inforcements were daily expected to be throw n into
this garrison, with the thorough conviction that my
situation at St. Joseph's was totally indefensible, I
determined to lose no time in making the meditated
attack on this fort.
On the 16th, at ten o'clock in the morning, I em-

barked my few men, with about 180 Canadians, and
two iron six-pounders. The boats arrived without
the smallest accident at the place of rendezvous
stthree o'clock the following morning ; by the exer-
tims of the Canadians, one of the guns was brought
by a height commanding the garrison, and ready to'
act about ten o'clock. A summons was then sent
in ; a copy of the capitulation which followed, I
have the honour to enclose. At twelve o'clock the
American colours were hauled down, and those of
his . 'esty were hoisted. A committee has been op-
i" .16-examine into the state of the public stores.
oclosed also are the returns of the ordnance and

thilitaty stores found in the fort, and the strength of
the garrison.
The greatest praise is due to every individual em-
ployed as this expedition ; to my own officers I am
indebted, in particular, for their yctive assistance in
tarrying all my orders into effect.

bitrast of a Dispatch from Lieutenant. General Sir George Pre-
vest, toEarl Bathtirst, dated Montreal, 17th August. •
I have the honour to inform your Lordship, that
an invasion of Upper Canada took place on the I2th
July last; the enemy having on that day crossed the
river Detroit with a force, composed of regular
troops and militia, together with 4.0 or 50 cavalry,
kinounting In the whole to about 2300 men, under
the command of Brigadier-General Hull, and took
post at Sandwich.
The militia in the neighbourhood not being able
to Oppose any effectual resistance, retreated upon
their approach towards Fort Amheistsburg, about
tat elve miles distant. Part of the enemy's force hay..
tag since advanced to within six miles of that fort,
severa skirmishes have taken place betvieen them
and the troops of the garrison, which have constancy
terminated in favour of the latter, with the loss of
several men on tita part of the enemy, and of only
one soldier of the 41st killed, and another wounded,
and a similar loss on the part of the Indians ; -and,
1 am happy to shy, that on these occasions, his
giajesty's 41st regiment in a particular manner dis-
enguished themselves.

The following communications from Constantino-
ple, with which we were favoured this morning, give
the direct lie to all the falsehoods as to the relative
situations of Russia and Turkey, which we have no.
ticed in the Continental JournAls 3 --
" CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 11.

" Mr. Liston and suite arrived here on the 28th of
June, and the Russian Ambassador, M. Italinski, the
clay after, so that no farther doubts can exist of the
peace between Russia and Turkey, which we have so
long anxiously expected : the ratification is hourly
expected from St. Petersburgb. In the mean time
M. Italinski resides at his Palace at Buyukdere : the
Porte has fitted up Mr. Dolinda's house in Pera, for
his town residence. The best possible understanding
exists between the two Missions. Until the ratifica-
tion arrives, peace will not be proclaimed here, nor
will the trade to the Russian ports in the Black Sea
be declared free and uninterrupted.
" Mr. Liston has declared bis intention of earnestly
demanding permission for the exportation of corn,
and I should hope he will soon obtain it.
" JULY 13.—1 am sorry to Inform you that a malig-
nant fever has broken out here within these few days,
which has caused considerable alarm ; a short time
will determine whether it Is the plague or no. Me-
dical men say not. .1 trust we shall escape the rava-
ges of such a dreadful disease."
" JULY 14.—1 hear less of the plague or fever to-
day than yesterday, and I trust it will be found a
false alarm."

"JULY 15.--We hear of no more accidents by the
fever to-day, the4efore I trust it is all over. Vessels
with Russian colours are loading at Odissa for this
place."

4, JULY 16.—N0 accidents of the fever having hap-
pened yesterday or to-day, I trust we have now no-
thing to fear."

While we were yesterday holding up to the admi-
ration of our Countrymen, the glowing ardour of
the Spanish Nation, as manifested since the victory
of Salamanca, little did we think that the conduct
of the inhabitants of Cadiz, at the same moment,'
would have furnished us with a theme for censure or
execration. Who, but the,torpid inhabitants of this
wretched town, would not have rushed forth upon
their invaders, the instant they sounded their retreat,
and accelerated that destruction which, we trust,
awaits their crimes. Hopeless, indeed, would be the
cause of Spain, if her Sons in general resembled the
pettifogging traders of Cadiz. With what deligpt
and enthusiasm would a virtuous population have
sallied from their gates, after their deliverance
from their oppressors, and, after pointing with
triumph to their deserted positions, pursued them in
their flight

Ergo omnis Longo solvit se Teucria luctu
Pandvntur ports, juvat ire, et Dories casts,
Desertosque videre locos, littusque relictum.
Hic Dolopum Manus, hic szvus temiebat

Classibus hie locus: Mc acio certare sciebant.

Unhappily, we have no such exultation to record
as applicable to the Citizens of Cadiz ! All the com-
munications from that quarter speak only of the
effects to be expected upon trade and commerce from
the departure of the French. Had not the safety of
this place been connected with the general cause, we
would have no reason for chagrin if SOULT had car-
ried it upon his back, with its Corte.; and its Juntas,
and laid it at the feet of his Master in Russia.
SOULT appears to have retired with such haste as
to have left a portion of his magazines behind him in
many places ; and this his speed was even accelerated
at Antequera, by an attack of General BALLASTERO6
upon his rear-guard, about 10,000 strong, according
to the report, by which he lost some ptisoners, and
two pieces of rannon. •
There was a report prevalent, that General Hrtz
had advanced to Cordova. This, if an eiror; as
strongly suspected, is one wills infects the letters as
well as the Papers from Catt4s

JOSEPH BONAPARTE had actually joined SHOW.
and SOULT was in Granada. These three armies
would, it is said, amount to 70,000 men and upwards.
The principal of an American House at Cadiz, of
the name of MEADE, has been arrested, by order of
the Government ; on what account it did not clearly
appear. The House) however, carried on the. first
business at Cadlk during the War ; and was under,

full 500 pieces of cannon.
The ship of war the Mino, from Vera Cruz to

-

Cadiz, had been spoken with off the Western Isles ;
having on board, for the merchants, about two mil-
lions of dollars ; and 300,000 for Government.
The communication between Vera Cruz and
Mexico had been interrupted for about three months,
but on the departure of the Mino, the insurgents had,
it is said, been suppressed.
The Commission appointed by the Cortes to exa-
mine the conduct of the Civil Authorities in those
districts lately liberated from the enemy, has pro•
pcsed a decree to the following I. fleet :—" That all
persons appointed by the intrusive Government to
any office shall be declared incapable of holding at#y
employment in futUre, besides being called to ac-
count for their past conduct ; but that if any of the
said Functionaries shall have performed important
services to the country, then the Regency shall ac-
quaint the Cortes therewith, that tele same may be
L Itaaeninto consideration." The above resolution met
the approbation of the Cortes.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, the PRINCE RECENT
beld a Privy Council, at Carlton-House, for the Dis-
solution of Parliament, which was attended by the.
LORD CHANCELLOR, ERAS WESTMORELAND, LLYIIR.
POOL, BATHURST, and CLANCARTY, Viscounts Mex.-

point the Hon. F. ROBINSON, Treasurer of the Navy,
and the Earl of CLANcmtry, Master of the Mint.—
After the Council, his Royal Highness gave au-
diences to the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of LIVER-
,POOL, and Viscount CASTLEREAGH.

Yesterday Lord MELviu-st held a Levee at the
Admiralty,,which was. attended by Lord RA.mrocx,
Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, and a number of Naval
Officers.
Her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES went this morn-
ing to Whitehall Chapel, to see the French 11,igles
deposited : one Eagle taken out of a river in N".:rtu-
gal two ditto, taken at the battle of Salamanca ;
two ditto, found at Madrid ; together with ten Co-
lours, taken at various times.

his ground there. •
Mr. CHAMBERLAYNE (of Weston Grove), Mr.
ATHERLY, and Mr.JacKsox, have commenced a very
active canvass. Colonel CRESPIONY has declined.—
It is expected the Election will be closely contested,
as their interests lie in separate direct ons. Mr.
Rosn is not yet arrived at Southampton :—his ab-
sence is occasioned by a hurt which he receivnd
his leg, in a copse at Christchurch.
It is expected that the Election for the Borough of
Maldon will be sharply contested, as Mr. WESTERN
has withdrawn himself therefrom to stand for the
County. The Electors of that Borough have been
requested to hold themselves disengaged.
In presenting the public with the subjoined Procla-
mation for a New Parliament, issued in the Reign of
`King JAMES I. we know we shall do them a service.
It was in all probability the composition of the great
Lord. Chancellor BACON, who was, in his writings at
least, rn oracle of wisdom and learning :
" Because the true and ancient institution of Parliament, do
require the lower House, at this time, If ever, to be compounded
of the gravest, ablest, and worthiest Members that may be
found: we do hereby, out of the care of the common good,
wherein themselves are participant, without all prejudice to the
freedom of Elections, admonish all our loving subjects, that have
votes in the election of Knights and Burgesses, of these sew
points following :
That they cast their eyes upon the worthiest men of an
sorts, Knights and Gentlemen, that are lights and guides In their
'smuntries, experienced Parliament-men, wise and discreet States-
men, that have been practised io public affairs, whether at home
or abroad, grave and eminent lawyers, substantial ci urns and
burgesses, and generally such as are interested and have portion
in the estate."
Secondly, That they make choice of such as are well affected
is religion, without declining either on the one hand to blindness
and superstition or on the (*herb and to schism or turbulent dis-
position."
" Thirdly, and lastly, That they be truly sensible, not to dis-
value or disparage the house with bankrupts and necessitous per-
sons, that may desire long Parliaments only for protection ; law-
yers of mean account and estimation ; young men that are not
rape grave consultations; mean dependants upon goat persons,
that they may bit thought to have their voices under command;
and such like obscure and inferior persons • so that to conclude,
gre may have the comfort to see before us the very face of a 'Wl-
dent and well-composed house, such as may be worthy to be a
representative of a third estate of our kingdom, fit to nourish a
loving and comfortable meeting between us and our ronoria, sad
in to be a noble instrument under the blessing of ALINIGITT
GOD, and our princely care and power, and with the loving con.
junction of our Prelates and Peers, for the settling to grearaffaire

The JAsiErt frigate has arrived at Portsmoners
with a large convoy of transports from Lisbon, hay.
ing on board upwards of 1000 prisoners of war. This
arrival must prove Very seasnriable, as removing the
greatest obstacle (tooth-brushes and cu•ry-combs ex-
cepted) to the sending out of thb detachments of
horse and foot, so urgentlyiequired in the Peninsula.
The Marquis of WELLthavos himself is accom-
panied by the Ist, sth, and 6th Divisions of his army;
and the remainder, the Sd, 4th, and Light Divisions,
are stationed at Madrid. This, in Some degree, shews
the strength reserved in aid of General HILL against
SOULT.
A draft of the gallant 48th Regiment being se
lected to join the Ist battalion, under the Marquis of
WELLINGTON, viz. nine officers and 1.10 rank and
file ; the Officers gave a ball and supper ti) thvir
friends, in the neighbohrhood of ehelinsford, on
Friday last, which was numerously attended. The
ball room was handsomely decorated with a trans-
parency of George the Third, with the list if the dif:
ferent actions in which they have distinisuished them-
selves. The room was also hong round with lestooni
and flowers, and intermingled with various other trans
parencies, acc:.
The 51 Battalion 78th Highland Regiment have
left Fort George for Aberdeen. This Regiment
was a mere skeleton when it was sent to Fort George
in 1809, since which it has sent a detachment of 200
men to the Ist Battalion in India ; it is now 500•
strong, principally composed of fine young High;
Landers.
