hroadsiie being at this time disabled, fell on board
the Queen Charlotte, at this time running up to lee-

for some time. As soon as we got clear of her, I or-
dered the Queen Charlotte to shoot ahead of us if pos-

astern, but the ibip laying completely unmanageable,
every brace cut away, the miaentop-mast and gaff
down, all the other masts badly wounded, not a stay
left forward, hull shattered very much, a number of
the guns disabled, 'and the enemy's squadron raking
both ships ahead and astern, none of our own in a
situation to support us; I was under the painfttl nez
eeisity of answering the enemy, to say we had struck,
the Queen Charlotte having previously done so.--. 1

FROM THE NOVA SCOTIA GAZETTE.
GENERAL ORDER.
fleacl-quarters, Montreal, N0v.24; 1513.
eg His Excellency the Commander of the Fo;ces
hts received an official report from Major.Getteral
Proctor, of the affair which- took place on the 9th of
October, near the Moravian village, and he has 'in
vain sought in it for grounds to late the report
trade to his Excellency by Staff Adjutant Reiffen-
stein, upon which the• General Order of the lfith of
October was founded—on the contrary, that state
merit remains confirmed in all the principal events
which marked that disgraceful day : the precipitaqc;
with which the Staff. Adjutant retreated from the
field of action, prevented his ascertaining the loss sus-
tained by the division on that occasion ; it also led
him most grossly to exaggerate the enemy's forte, and
to misrepresent the conduct of the Indian Warriors,
who, instead of retreating towards Machedash, as he
had stated, gallantly maintained the conflict, under
the brave chief Tecumseth, and is their turn harassed
the American army on its retreat to Detroit.
" The subjoined Return states the loss the tight
division has 'sustained in the action of the fleet on
Lake Erie on the 10th of September, and in the grail
Of the sth October near the Moravian Village; in
the latterbut very few- appear to have been rescued
by an haaoutable death from the ignominy Of passing
under the American yoke, nor are there many, whose
wounds plead in mitigation of this reproach. The
right division appears to have been incumbered with _
an unmanageable load of unnecessary, and forbidden
private baggage—while the requisite arrangements
for the expeditious and certain conveyance of the am-
munition and provisions, the sole objects worthy of
consideration? appear to'have been totally neglected;
as well as all those ordinary measures, resorted to by
Officers of intelligence to retard, and impede the ad-
vance of a pursuing enemy. The result affords but
too fatal a proof of'this unjustifiable neglect. The
:ight division had quitted Sandwich on its retreat, on
the 26th September, having had ample time for every
previous arrangement, to facilitate and secure that
movement ; on the 2d October folbwing the enemy
pursued by the same mute, and on ffie 4th succeeded
in captuiing all the stores if the division, and on the
following day attacked and 'defeated it almost With-
out a struggle.
" With heartfelt pride and satisfaction tier Cain-
:under of the Forces had lavished on the right divi-
sion of this army, that tribute of praise which was
so justly due to its former-gallantry and steady disci-
pline. It is with poistiant grief and mortificitlOlC,
that he now beholds its well-earned laurels tarnished,
end its conduct calling loudly for reproach and cen-
lure. The Commander of the Forces appeals to the
genuine feelings of the British soldier, from whom
he neither conceals the extent of the loss the army
has.sustained, nor the far more to be lamented injury
it has suffered in its wounded honour, confident that
put one sentiment will animate every breast, and that,
unions to wash out the stain, which, by a most ex-
traordinary and unaccountable infatuation, has fallen
en a formerly deserving portion of the army ; all will
vie to emulate the glorious achievements recently'
performed, by, a small but highly-spirited and well-
disciplined division, led by officers possessed of en:
terprize, intelligence, and gallantry, nobly evincing
'what British soldiers can pertoim, when susceptible
of no fear but that of failing in the discharge of their
duty.
4 His Excellency considers it an act cf justice? to
exonerate most• honourably from this censure, the
brave soldiers of the right division who were serving
as mariners on board the squadron on Lake Eric.—
The Commander of the Forces having received the
official Report of Captain Barclay of the action which
took place on Lake Erie, on the 10th of September,
when that gallant evinces:, from circumstances of im.
perions necessity, was compelled to seek the superior
tout of the enemy, and to Mil/4k an arduous and
