We are informed BY gentlemen who arri

left the army on Monday moruiAg, that on
Saturday preceding corps of riAcnen, who
were out on foraging party, we're attack
ed by superior force Of the enemy, and re-
treated till they we're supported by the 2ad,
under Major Wool. who had several field
pieces masked by his pla;oons, aud loaded
with grape. On the enemy's approach the
field pieces were unmarked and poured up
ON the cnemy's ranks destructive FIRE, and
compelled him to retreat. AS a strong re
Enforcement of the enemy was advancing,
our force did not pursue. Our loss was 10
killed and wounded; that of the enemy is
supposed to be 100.
On Monday the 18th, heavy firing of
cannon and musquetry was heard at Fort
George after our informant left it, which
continued nearly the whole day. The re-
suit is not known.

ing that the General Pike was finished, and
that the American Commander, though infe-
rior in force, was ready to bid him defiance
on the lake. In this situation they were seen
by one OF our laaaSsS9 sent in as flag of

The Lisbon paper OF the 18th Of June,
contains an account of the French having on
the 18th evacuated the city of Hurgos, after
blowing UP the Castle.
The British under Gen. Hill, with a strong
body of artillery and cavalry, had very
obstinate skirmish with them, but they sue
ceeded in gaining a bridge, which secured
their retreat.
King Joseph had received letter from
Bonaparte, ordering him not TO risQne bat
tie, but TO retire to the provinces north Of the
Ebro and south of the Pyrennes.
Letters from London state, that in conse-
quence of the mediation OF Russia, Am erican

The London papers are filed with details
OF the operations of the French and Russian
and Prussian armies, which have been anti.
cipated via Bordeaux.
