On the 18th the advanced troops of Ken
lucky volunteers, commanded By colonel
w. Lewis at the River Raisiii had attacked
:. party of British and Indians--that the
British had iled ON the approach of Colonel
Lewis and carried of their cannon, leaving
the Indians TO fight the battle. The action
commenced at 5 o'clock p. M. and lasted
for an hour anda half. The loss on cur
side was ten killed and 30 wounded, among
ale latter two Captains. Gen. Winchester
had dispatched 1000 men to the aid of col.
Lewis, who had arrived within a short dis
tance of the field of action. The loss on
the side of the Indians was considerably
more than ours. They lied with precipita-
tion.

YIN the morning OF 22d January, General
Winchester commanding the advance OF
i1arrison's army. about 1000 strong, was
attacked near the river Raisn by IS or
1900 Indians and 800 British--the General,
who was 3-4 ut mile from his men, was
killed, scahed and horribly mang,ed.-
The men were hardly formed at all, but
the most entire confusion prevailed in con-
sequence OF the surprise which was COM
pieat.-Particulars not known--but the in
formation it is feared is true. The British
had or pieces of Cannon, and the first
ntimation of their approach is said to have
been announced by the report of the hostile
Sannon.-EXaggeratio as common, are
to be looked for. but fear the informati-
on IN the main is true.-In great haste"

night from Col. Sharp, communicating fur
Their Intelligence respecting the enemy.
have the honor to be,
Very respectfully, yours &c.
CHAS. K. MALLORY.
To the Honorable
The SPEAKER, offhe
House Of Delegates
EncioSure.1
1donddy-Fe6. 8th, 1850 o'clock.
SIR-We were alarmed on Saturday
Night, between and 10 o'clock, by the
firing of heavy Cannon. from Gun boat
near Craney-Island, and one from Fort
Norfolk. Immediately after which, the Fri
gate and Fort Nelson beat to arms--I was
on horseback, and instantly did the same
thing-And although the alarm proved IN
necessary, vas much gratifed; for never
since have been in command, have | wit
messed the alacrity with which the militia
OF the 54th turned out. In less than one
hour Gate as it was, many being in bed, }
our whole force was collected-formed and
ready to act.--The same evening a serious
affair occurred-from thirty TO forty Span
ism and Portuguese sailors assembled, arm
ed with knives, and before their object was
known, killed one man and badly wounded
several others.-In few minutes we sup.
pressed the mob and these COW ardy assas
sins fed. We however succeeded in ar
pretending fifteen of them, who are now in
ljail-some of them, it is supposed, will die
OF the wounds, justly inflicted OH them by
the American sailors.
On Saturday evening the two ~ Gun
ships went to sea, and had not returned at
set last night. The either British sniDs
still remain. We are very much harrassed
with watching, but shall not relax *%*~%
go to day to tie Bay shore pleasure house.
| where between and hundred men OF the
10th Regiment are assembled in arms to
| make arrangements with Col. Robinson for
cooperation, and to establish communica
| tions-Col. Robinson yesterday drew from
the Contractor for the u. States rations for
hundred men for eight DAYS, and TODAY
will receive from Major Nestill - tents.
Yesterday three Captains and eight or
ten seamen arrived from the enemy's ships
on parole-They state that two other 74's
lPoicters and Northumberland with a
Rear-Admiral, are daily expected to Join
the British Squadron.--I understand that
