Total killed, wounded, and missing, 154. Correct return from the reports of the different corps in the action of the 6th instant at Stoney Creek. J. JOHNSON, Assist. Adj.-Gen. Extract from the British General Orders, dated Head-Quarters, 7th June, 1813. Brigadier-general Vincent congratulates the troops on the success which crowned the attack made by the King's and 49th regiments on the enemy's position and camp at Gages yesterday morning, when his force, consisting of not less than 3500 men, advantageously posted, and protected by a considerable number of guns, was completely routed and driven. off the field; 4 pieces of cannon, with their tumbrils, horses, &c. 2 brigadier-generals, 5 field officers and captains, and upwards of 100 prisoners, were the trophies of this brilliant enterprise. Immediately after our troops had retired towards their cantonments, the enemy abandoned the position to which he had fled, and after burning and destroying a quantity of baggage and provisions, carriages, blankets, arms, &c. commenced a precipitate retreat, and did not halt until he reached the Forty Mile Creek, 12 miles (through the wors: possible roads) from the scene of action: here he effected a junction with a reinforcement which was on its march to join him. Head-Quarters, Kingston, 8th June, 5 o'clock, P. M. His excellency the commander of the forces has just received an express, announcing that a strong division of the American army had advanced to the Forty Mile Creek, with the intention of attacking the position occupied by brigadiergeneral Vincent at the head of Burlington bay. The enemy's plan was however anticipated by the gallant general, and completely defeated by a spirited attack. at day-break on the 6th instant on the American army, which was completely defeated and dispersed. Twelve officers, two of whom are generals, and five pieces of cannon were taken-and the fugitives were pursued in every direction by a numerous body of Indians under the chief Norton. The enemy's force is stated at 200 cavalry and 4000 infantry, besides a strong force in boats. The intelligence was communicated off York, at 2 P. M. to commodore sir James Yeo, who had sailed with the fleet on the 3d instant, to co-operate with general Vincent-and immediately proceeded with reinforcements on board to support the general's further attack upon the enemy. Further reinforcements under major De Haren, proceeded this day from Kingston to join general Vincent. The British loss has been very slight. The official despatch is hourly expected. E. B. A G. AMERICAN AND BRITISH ACCOUNTS OF THE CAPTURE OF THE DETACHMENT UNDER COLONEL BOERSTLER. Sir, Copy of a Letter from Major-General Dearborn to the Fort George, June 25th, 1813. I have the mortification of informing you of an unfortunate and unaccountable event which occurred yesterday. On the 23d, at evening, lieutenant-colonel Barstler, with 570 men, infantry, artillery, cavalry, and riflemen, in due proportion, was ordered to march, by the way of Queenstown, to a place called the Beaver Dams, on the high ground, about eight or nine miles from Queenstown, to attack and disperse a body of the enemy, collected there for the purpose of procuring provisions, and harassing those inhabitants who are considered friendly to the United States. Their force was, from the most direct information, composed of one company of the 104th regiment, above eighty strong; from 150 to 200 militia, and from fifty to sixty Indians. At eight o'clock, yesterday morning, when within two miles of the Beaver Dams, our detachment was attacked from an ambuscade; but soon drove the enemy some distance into the woods, and then retired to a clear field, and sent an express for a reinforcement, saying he would maintain his position until reinforced; a reinforcement of 300 men marched immediately under the command of colonel Christie; but on arriving at Queenstown, colonel Christie received authentic information that lieutenant-colonel Barstler with his command had surrendered to the enemy, and the reinforcemert returned to camp. A man who belonged to a small corps of mounted volunteer riflemen, came in this morning, who states that the enemy surrounded our detachment in the woods, and towards twelve o'clock commenced a general attack-that our troops fought more than two hours, until the artillery had expended the whole of its ammunition, and then surrendered; and at the time of the surrender the informant made his escape. Why it should have been deemed proper to remain several hours in a position surrounded with woods, without either risking a decisive action or effecting a retreat, remains to be accounted for, as well as the project of waiting for a reinforcement from a distance of 15 or 16 miles. No information has been received of the killed or wounded. The enemy's fleet has again arrived in our neighbourhood. With respect and esteem, I am, sir, yours, &c. Hon. John Armstrong, Secretary at War. From the London Gazette, September 11. Colonial Department. Downing Street, September 7. A Despatch, of which the following is an extract, has been received by Earl Bathurst, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, from Lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost, Bart. Kingston, Upper Canada, July 3, 1813. I have the honour to transmit to your lordship copies of letters from colonel Vincent and lieutenant-colonel Bishop, and of the papers accompanying them, containing the highly gratifying intelligence of the capture, on the 24th ultimo, of a body of the enemy's forces, consisting of 2 field-officers, 21 other officers of different ranks, 27 non-commissioned officers, and 462 privates, together with a stand of colours and 2 field-pieces. The details of this gallant affair, which reflects so much credit on our Indian allies, as well as upon lieutenant Fitzgibbon, for the promptitude and decision with which he availed himself of the impression their attack had made upon the enemy, will, I have no doubt, be read by your lordship with great satisfaction. Since the surprise of the enemy's camp at Stoney Creek, on the 6th ultimo, and their subsequent retreat from the Forty Mile Creek, in which almost the whole of their camp equipage, together with a quantity of stores and provisions, fell into our hands, majorgeneral Dearborn has withdrawn the troops from Fort Erie, and has concentrated his forces at Fort George. Colonel Vincent has, in consequence, made a forward movement from the head of the lake, in order to support the light infantry and Indian warriors, who are employed in circumscribing the enemy, so as to compel them to make use of their own resources for the maintenance of their army. Major-general de Rottenburgh has assumed the command of the centre division of the army of Upper Canada. After the squadron under commodore sir James Yeo had shown itself off the Forty Mile Creek, which principally determined the enemy to retreat from that position, it was very successfully employed in interrupting and cutting off the supplies going from the Genessee river, and their other settlements upon the southern shore of the lake; five small vessels, with provisions, clothing, and other articles were taken, and several loaded boats were captured, and some destroyed. Sir, (Transmitted by Colonel Vincent.) Beaver Dam, June 24, 1813. I have the honour to inform you, that the troops you have done me the honour to place under my command, have succeeded this day in taking prisoners a detachment of the United States' army, under the command of lieutenant-colonel Bærstler. In this affair the Indian warriors, under the command of captain Kerr, were the only force actually engaged to them great merit is due, and to them I feel particularly obliged for their gallant conduct on this occasion. On the appearance of the detachment of the 49th regiment, under lieutenant Fitzgibbon, and the light company of the 8th or King's regiment, the two flank companies of the 104th, under, major De Haren, and the provincial cavalry under captain Hall, the whole surrendered to his majesty's forces. To the conduct of lieutenant Fitzgibbon, through whose address the capitulation was entered into, may be attributed the surrender of the American force. To major De Haren, for his speedy movement to the point of attack, and execution of the arrangements I had previously made with him, I am very much obliged. I have the honour to enclose the capitulation entered into between colonel Borstler and myself, and a return of prisoners taken, exclusive of wounded, not yet ascertained. I lost no time in forwarding my staff-adjutant, lieutenant Barnard, to communicate to you this intelligence. He has been particularly active and useful to me upon all occasions. I take this opportunity of mentioning him to you, and beg the favour of you to recommend him to his excellency sir George Prevost, as an active and promising young officer. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) CECIL BISHOPP, Lieutenant-colonel, commanding the troops in advance. Brigadier-General Vincent, &c. Sir, Township of Louth, June 24, 1813. At De Coris, this morning, about 7 o'clock, I received information that about 1000 of the enemy, with guns, were advancing towards me from St. David's. I soon after heard a firing of cannon and musketry, and in consequence rode in advance, 2 miles on the St. David's road. I discovered by the firing that the enemy was moving for the road on the mountain. I sent off cornet M'Kenny to order out my detachment of the 49th, consisting of a subaltern and 46 rank and file, and close upon the enemy to reconnoitre. I discovered him on the mountain road, and took a position on an eminence to the right of it. My men arrived and pushed on in his front to cut off his retreat, under a fire from his guns, which however did no execution. After examining his positions, I was informed he expected reinforcements: I therefore decided upon summoning him to surrender.-After the exchange of several propositions, between lieutenant-colonel Barstler and myself in the name of lieutenant-colonel De Haren, lieutenant-colonel Barstler agreed to surrender on the terms stated in the articles of capitulation. On my return to my men to send out an officer to superintend the details of the surrender, you arrived. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) J. FITZGIBBON, Lieut. 49th Foot. To Major De Haren, &c. &c. June 24, 1813. Particulars of the capitulation made between captain M'Dowell, on the part of lieutenant-colonel Bærstler, of the United States' army, and major De Haren, of his Britannic majesty's Canadian regiment, on the part of lieutenant-colonel Bishop, commanding the advance of the British, respecting the force under the command of lieutenant-colonel Bærstler. 1st. That lieutenant-colonel Borstler, and the force under his command, shall surrender prisoners of war. 2d. That the officers shall retain their arms, horses, and baggage. 3d. That the non-commissioned officers and soldiers shall lay down their arms at the head of the British column, and become prisoners of war. 4th. That the militia and volunteers, with lieutenant-colo |
