AU Cii

I have the honour to inform your Lordship, that
an invasion of tipper Canada took place on the 12th
July last, the enemy having on that day crossed the
river Detroit with a force, composed of regular
troops and militia, together with forty or fifty ca-
valry, amounting 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 Amherstsburg, about 12
miles distant. Part of the enemy's force having since
advanced to within six miles of that fort, several
skirmishes have taken place between them and the
troops of the garrison, which have constantly termi-
nated in favour of the latter, with the loss of sever ./
men on the part of the enemy, and of only one, sol.
dier of the 41st killed, and another wounded, and a
similar loss on the part of the Indians; and, I am
happy to say, that on these occasions% ills Majesty's
41st regiment in a particular manner distinguished
themselves.

Brigadier-General 'dull, f find, commenced his
eVerations agaiirol .intlicestsburg a few days after ; and
the cletnclinn,nt of the 41st regiment have behaved
with gro:si gallantry in repelling three attempts made
by tine Americans to approach the fprt by the River
eanard.
