December 81, 1912.

We have received late London papers, but
they contain nothing of an important nature,
they are principally occupied in estimating
and calculating the loss ofthe French in the
last campaign in Russia--acc counting forthe
acfidenfs which have befalIen their jifgdfes
and building hopes upon the sheedv revoh
of their friends in Ne7o England" which
will, they say, restore all that they lost by the
jgnominious peace of 1888!
We have received Paris accounts TO the
18th January--in a sitting If the conservative
senate of the 10th, there is report on the po-
litical relations Of Europe, by the minister
Of foreign affairs (MareD which closes with

and camps of discipline, on the frontiers &

Annexed to the report in the Moniteur
there are four documents of the following
import.

| His excellency the commander of the
forces has the highest satisfaction III an
nouncmg TO the troops under his command
another brilliant action achieved by the gal
liant division of the army at Detroit, under
| col. Proctor.
Information having been received, that an
advanced corps of the American army, un-
der brig. gen. Winchester, amounting TO up
wardsC ct 1000 strong, had entered and &C
cupicd French town, about twenty six miles
south of Detroi, colonel Proctor did not he
state a moment in anticipating the enemy
by attacking this advanced corps before 1t
could receive support from the forces on
their march, under gen. Harrison.
| At day break, on the 22d January, col.
! Proctor by spirited and vigorous attack
completely defeated gen. Winchester's di-
vision, with the loss Of between 4 or 500
slain; for all who attempted to save them
selves by fight, were cut eff by the Indian
warriors. 30 s Ht
| About 400 Of the enemy took refuge in
the houses of the town, and kept up gall
| ing FIRE from the windows, but finding fur
Their resistance unavailing they surrendered
themselves at discretion.
| On this occasion the gallantry of colonel
Proctor was most nobly displayed, in his hui
name and unwearied exertisns which sue
ceeded in rescuing the vanquiShed from the
revenge of the Indian warriors.
| The prisoners at the Close OF the action
amounted to gen l col. staff, / major,
captains, 90 subalterns, 81 sereants, and
| ass rank and file but the Indian warriors
were hourly bringing in prisoners, and had
taken a strong escort of the enemy with 500
hogs.
| Col Proctor reports in strong terms the
gallantry displayed by all descriptions of
| troops and the able support received from
col. st. George, and from all the officers
and men under his command, whose spirit
led valor and steady discipline is above all
| praise.
The Indian chief Round Head, qvffh his
band Of 4yGr7iors, rendered essential seTy.ce
