oisns. The action commenced BY a
aesvy FIRE of carnou, with grape shot *
bombs. Our troops were taken on sur.
prise they were encamped on gardens
and lots about 30 steps distant from each
e.ber. They we're, however, formed
as quickly as possible, and the act.en
became very warm and continued so for
some time. Our Kentuckians fought
bravely, and he thinks the enemy must
have suffered more during the contest
than our men. Al length our ammuni-
ton became exhausted. 1t was now
about sunrise. By this time the enemy
had enclosed our troops on three sides,
which forced the regulars from the right,
and part of Our men crossed the river
by order of general Winchester.
After crossing, thcy attempted to form

placed a plumber of Indians, who injur-
ed them very much. Captain Ma.son,
though wounded, joined in the retreat,
and says the Indians pursued on each
side for about mile, they then fell back
in the rear. He then saw col. Lewis &
insisted on him to form the men and
make stand, as some of them were
wounded and very much exhausted

LONDON, December %.

Yesterday we noticed the arrival ct
Paris papers to the 10th instant. They
contained, as we then stated, the impor-
tant fact Of Bonaparte's arrival in person
in the vicinity of wilma, on the 26th Of
November that he has since reached
wilma in safety we think there Cannot be
doubt. We are not disposed, with
SINE Of our contemporaries, to regard
these statements as fabrications; because
however ardent our wishes have been,
and however strong the probabilities a.
gainst the personal escape of the tyrant,
we have always thought it best to repress
the public expectations on the subject.
We mus: confess that the cautious man
ner in which the whole Of the Paris ar
ticles are drawn up, is sufficient to puz-
zle the most sagacious politician.
There is a most labored attempt to
remove all apprehensions in the minds
of the Inhabitants of France as to the
safety of the army in the north. If VIC
are to believe their statements Bonapa,te
is moving quietly into winter quarters
at the head oi an immense army, ard the
only part of his force which suffers are
the cavalry and artillery horses. Kind
souls! these demi- official narrators hu
namely withhold from the grca; French
nation, the picture of the calamilies
which have befallen so many of their
fellow-creatures. Nay, until this moment
the whole world has been deceived as 10
