fee any ; I cannot, however, re- 

 frain from mentioning lieut.-col. 

 St. George, who received four 

 wounds in a gallant attempt to oc- 

 cupy a building which was favour- 

 ably situated for annoying the ene- 

 my; together with ensign Kerr, 

 of the Newfoundland regiment, 

 who, I fear, is very dangerously 

 wounded. The zeal and courage 

 of the Indian department were 

 never more conspicuous than on 

 this occasion, and the Indian war- 

 riors fought with thei>' usual bra- 

 very. I am much indebted to the 

 different departments, the troops 

 having been well and timely sup- 

 plied with every requisite the dis- 

 trict could afford. I have fortu- 

 nately not been deprived of the 

 services of lieutenant Troughton of 

 the royal artillery, and acting in 

 the quarter-master general's de- 

 partment, although he was wound- 

 ed, to whose zealous and unwea- 

 ried exertions I am greatly indebt- 

 ed, as well as to the whole of the 

 royal artillery, for their conduct in 

 this affair. I enclose a list of the 

 killed and wounded, and cannot 

 but lament that there are so many 

 of both ; but of the latter I am 

 happy to say a large proportion 

 will return to their duty, and most 

 of them in a short time. I also 

 enclose a return of the arms and 

 ammunition which have been 

 taken, as well as of the prisoners, 

 whom you will perceive to be 

 equal to my utmost force, exclu- 

 sive of the Indians. It is reported 

 that a party, consisting of 100 men, 

 bringing 500 hogs for general 

 Winchester's force, has been com- 

 pletely cut off by the Indians, and 

 the convoy taken. Lieut. M'Lean, 

 my acting brigade-major, whose 

 gsiJlantry and exertions were con- 



spicuous on the 22nd inst., is the 

 bearer of this dispatch, and will be 

 able to afford you every informa- 

 tion respecting our situation. 

 I have the honour to be, &c.

 Total, 495. 



N.B. The Indians have brought 

 in and delivered up several pri- 

 soners since the above return was 

 taken ; they continue to do so this 

 morning, so that this return is not 

 perfectly correct, nor can a correct 

 one be procured until they arrive 

 at Sandwich.
