WINNIPEG, April 27-The opening battle
of the campaign against Riel has been
fought and won Gen. Middleton, with an
advance detachment on the right bank of
the Saskatchewan, encountered the rebels
Friday fifteen miles south of Batoche's
Crossing Two hundred Indians and
French half-breeds lay in am
bush in ravine, and opened a heavy fire
on the troops. Gen. Middleton at once de-
ployed the troops in skirmishing order.
Battery A could not at first feel the enemy
with their guns, so good was their shelter.
Eventually, however, the battery got into
a better position and rained a raking
fire among them. Two houses in which
the rebel reserves were secluded were
demolished. The rebels next made a dash
and fought the Nineteenth battalion at
close quarters, but the severe fire from the
left wing forced the rebels to again retire.
The fight was carried on in an Indian style
by the rebels, who were always either con-
ceale1 behind trees or in the bush. Their fire
was hot and very effective.
Capt Clark, with the sharpshooters, frs
advanced in skirmishing order after the
scouts signaled danger, and closely follow
ing were the Toronto school of infantry, the
latter taking the right flank. The conflict
now became general and very severe. The
Indians were exceedingly combative and
the war-whoop could be heard distinctly
some distance. They rallied time and again,
keeping up an incessant fire for fully an
hour. Subsequently the fire slackened
ON the part of the enemy, but was
again resumed shortly after noon The
prairie was set on fire as a result of the bat
tle but a heavy rain set in soon after.
The rebels were finally driven from their
ambush by the hard firing of the volun-
teerS
Gen Middleton had a close call, having
been shot through the hat Gen. Middleton:
loss was three killed and fifty wounded
The hal;- breed loss is not known, but It'll!

make stand.
A dispatch from the battle fiel says: 1T
was evident that if the rebels had been al
armed or had artillery, the day would

At the point where the fight took pac
there are two low bluffs, from which tn

bluff, which are about 500 yards apart, Is
| piece of level and open prairie that extend
back about 1000 yards, across which runs
deep ravine, with timber in the bottom run
ming back in places apparently for a mile
On the west side about in the center, stan'
two log houses and straw-stacks.
The loss of the Canadian forces is ten o
twelve killed and forty or fifty wounded
As far as could be seen, the enemy left n
dead on the field, though twenty-five O
them were shot and about dozen captured
The rebels seem to be composed of about a
equal number OF half breeds and Indians. il

After the Ministers Plenipotentiary
of Great Britain and the United States
hal nearly concluded their pacific
labors at Ghent, the burghers Of that
quaint old Dutch city determined to
give an entertainment in their honor,
and desired to have the national airs
Of the two treaty making powers per-
formed as a part Of the programme.
50 the musical directors were directed
to C III upon the American Ministers
and obtain the music Of the national
air of the United States.
\ consultation ensued, at which
Bayard and GallArin favored "Hail
CoIumbia,' while Clay, Russell and
Adams were decidedly in favor Of
Yankee Doodlr.'
The musical director asked if any of
the gentlemen had the music, and re-
ceiving Il negative reply. suggested
that perhaps one of them could sing or
whistle the air.
