&r-A detachment from Ine leil wing OF The
North Western Army, under my command, at
French Town, on the river Raisin, was attack

rior in number aided by several pieces OF
artillery. The action commenced at the dawn

force and rapiliiy.
A destructive fire was sustained Tor some

numbers.
In this critical situation, being desirous TO

fellows who still held out. / sent flag 10
them. and agreed with the commanding officer
Of the enemy, that they should be surrendered
prisoners OF war, on condition OF being pro.
tec,ed from the savages, allowed to re,ain
their private property, and having thrir ,ide
arms returned to them. It is impossible for
rne to ascertain with certainty the loss we have
sustained in this action, from the impractical
biiity Of knowing the number who have made
their escape.
Thirty five officers and about four hundred
