WAsHINCToE, December "a.
No business was yesterday done in the
House of K representatives, aud bat little IN
the Senate. There appears to be i gene
raj indisp to engage seriously in the
yeighty business Of he nation until after the
holidays. Perhaps indeed the absence OF
the Secretary of War from the sea; of go,
yrrnment, where however he is hourly ex
pected. may nave had an effect to delay he
proposition of those military measures which
must doubtless occupy the attention OF Con-
gress at an early day.
We are authorized By Captain Todd of
the 29th regiment. who was in General
Harrison's staff at the time of the action on
the Thames TO state that the second British
bulletin relating to that action, published in
our Last, IS false in the following particu
lars General tiarrison's army tonk noiie of
fhe British baggage On the 18th Of the month,
nor any until the day OF the action. The
army was nor harr@ssed on it's return, by
the Indians nor was an hostile Indian seen
after the action, although the troops re
manned two days upon the ground. 1t is al
uitted that the warriors under the eye OF
Tecun,seh fought bravely but the others
fled as soon as they discovered that they
were turned BY the mounted regiment. The
former order, published under tie sanrtion
of the British government, contained mis-
rcpresentation or falsehoad in almost every
line Capt 'rcdd ayers, that the number ,f
TROOPS brought by Gen. Harriaon into action
was inieri r to what the Generals official
account makes them. The error arose
from, the rapidty of the pursuit., (havDg
