" Stlt.--To obedience to the order of the Convention, bear- I
jog date the :r2d inst. I decreed Major Jon rttott to assemble
v.seh of the cavalry as might he ready at hand, and march imme-
diately for Fort 11— It—. I then proceeded to Springfield,
where I fouud 34 of the Grenadier Company, cominan4ed by
Colonel BALLANOER, waiting the orders of the Convention.
At one o'clock in the morning of the Rid, we joined Major
JOHXSUN and Captain Gat VIITII,.with the :lot of the Bayon
Sara Cavalry, and five or sis patriotic Gentlemen joined us on
our march. At four o'clock the same morning, sic made the
attack, lily orders were, not to fire till we received a shot
from the garrison, and to cry out in French and English,
• Ground your mane, arid you shall not be hurt.'
" This order was strictly attended to by the volunteers, till
' s e received a discharge of musketry from the guard-house,
where tlteGovernor was, which was briskly returned by the
volunteers. We received no damage on our part. Of the Go-
vernor's troops Lieutenant Loots GR A MDPRE was mortally
wounded, Lieutenant J. B. NETLIGNEs, Commandant of
Artillery, was also wounded. One private was killed, and
four badly wounded. We took 21 prisoners, among svh-os is
Colonel DE1.4651118. The rest of the garrison esrop by
The magazines, stores,,&e. found in thegarrison, have
been reported to yon by JAMES NEILSON, Esq. who MIS ap-
pointed for that purpose.
" Tue firmness and moderation of the volunteers, who made
the attack, was fully equal to the best disciplined troops—
whole companies are daily docking to our standard—and the
harmony and
.patriotism prey:Olin.; in the garrison must be
highly gratifying to every friend of his eituutry.

The mild mild weather through the greatest part of Met month
has been extremely favourable to tile ybang wheats, of which
Siere is a very large breadth sown. The young plants are very
strong, and have thrown out* thi(•k flag, that will shelter and
protect the roots from the frost thromii the w inter.
Oats are of prime quality, and may be expected to fan in
twice as 4ion as the frost makes a demand fur the straw.—
The weather being mild and open at the begioning of the
month, mate it favourable to eat off the rowen and latternuo hs,
by which means the cattle have hey', kept out of the farm-yard.
