Sir--I have the honor to acquaint you, for the information of bis 'Excehency the Commalidor of the"Forces. that I came do*u here yesterday from Kingston, with 4 0onpanies of the did Regiuent, two IS --:pounders and a howitzer, and made up *01om - the;town to a position about 4uU ards'fi9- thewndmi1l, and adjoining housek'ied by the brigands. Theydid- not move or come out of the houses to oppose my advance. ' The 18 pounders opened with good effect upon the state building near the mill. Capt. Sau don with two gun bouts, in which lie car ried two 18 pounders, took up a position below the windmill, which lie comnmenced but not with much effect. Aftereantiona ding these buildings for an hour or ratlier more, and observtng the brigands to be quitting them and enldeavorimging to es cape, I ordered the troops to advance; very little resistance was :oIiercd by the party occupying the windmill, but a small the was opposed to us front the adjoining stone building. It being dark before the troops got a round these buildings, and the brigand, in the windmill having displa)ed a whie flag weres unimoned to surrender themselves unconditionally which they did. Eighiy six persons were inmnediatelv secured, and 16 others, who were wounded, were removed plna eatiatuamtoa 8U ROuWs w ptu ails . oij be found- a large supply of arins,'26 keg. of powder and three pieces of ordnance fell into our hands. Some*or the brigands efTected their es cape frotn the buildings when darkness enme ou. and hid themselves in the brush wood on the bank under the mill. I direc ted the militia to scout this bank, and sev eral prisoners were-secured, among others a PMle calling himself Gen. Van. Sault, who, it is understood was the principal leader. All buildings adjoining the mill we le-4troyed,but the latter I directed to be occupied by a coipany of Militia, and proposed that it should continue to be so, or entirely demolished. 1 ani happy to say the service was per. formed with the loss of one man only of the 83d Reg't I have the honour to remain sir, Your most obedient servant. H. DUNDAS. From the Bikimore American, LATEST Faom UPPER CANADA-Tetal Defeat of the Patriots at Prescoti.-The account below, under date of Ogdensburg, 16th November, confirms the rumor that had already reached us by waly of Albany. of the total defeat of the Patriot forces near Prescott. Ogdenshuroh. Friday, Nov. 16, 1838.. De *r- '1 h 'aster-t. give -tou the In test news, although such as I bave to re late', at present, is indeed melanieholy. The Potriots have until to-day, fairly held their own, but.this day at noon. the Coburg and five other beats brought down 800 reg ular British troops and some of the heavi est caution in the province. These added to one-thousand militia were too much for ihe Patriots. They wvere sur rounded by land, andI the steamboats kept up a murderous fire frotm the river. The Patriots fought nobly, butt it was of no use: they were dhriven back and scatter ed. At sunset they held out a flag or truce, which though displayed three timtes the British did not regard; they had orders to "Give no Quarter andI take no Prison ers !" A t this timo two of the hotues oc cupied by the Patriots, are burnitng. atnd the British regulars are around thedV id Mill. lookitng on but not molested. There is tno firing on either side. Fr-om all appearances the Patriots are totally routed and annihilated. It is bare ly piossible that a very fewy have escenped, but probably not one wvill live to tell the tale. The battle was most splendid---about 2000 fighting at a time; the nmbler of killed .and w~ouznded in this engagemntu cannot fall much short of 500. Yout rany imagine how true and faithful the Patriots of the Wind Mill fought, when I tell you that P--K--and a fewv more went to them last night, at the hauzard of thenir lives to take them off' their position, but they refused to leave, saying that they were confidetj their friends wvould not desert themi, and that there were thouisanads of men in--county. botund by their oaths to assist'them, and they wvould abidle the issue. Andi now they are all, or nearly all, murdered. From the Journal-E;rtra. SAcxKTT's HIAanon. Nov. 18th.

TEN DAYS LATF.R FROM EUROPE. .Nzw YOax, Nov. 23. It is wtith no ordinary pleasure that we annonnce the arrival of the steam ship Liverpool, Capt Fayrer, from Liverpool, last from Cork. * The Liverpool took her departure on the 20th. lint afler taking 950 miles, a gainst extremely rotugh wveathier. anid high seas, sustaining, however, little damage, she ptut back on the 26uhi. on aceount of thae great consumption of coal, wvhich created what appears to have been a just appre henasin that htemr stock might fail her if her voyage was thetncomnmuol. The engines. at would seem htad not been stilficiently tried before starting. The result was that she pus itnto- Cork on the eighth day. There she remained a week taking in fiull supplies, and started again on Tues slay the 6th inst. She arrived off Fire Island yesterday aflernoon, at 2 o'clock. where shte remained lbr several hiours, in consequaence of the fog. Shte reachedl this -city at 9 o'clock this morning, and anchiar est in theo East river. a little above th wharf appropriated for the use of the Uren Western. During the first part of the voyage th1e wind was favorable. One half tilo origi. nal liasseugera left tie vessel at Cork, a mong whom were Mr. John Van Itnrcn M r. Buler. Mr. McIntosh of the Britisl legation, and Mr. ., J. Smithi,of Maine T.rhe passengers whom we have seet speak in the highest torms of the conduci of Crapt. Fayrer. Mr. Shaw, agent of thc Transatlantic Comipany,was also on hoard, having embarked at Cork, in complianc with the request of the passen-ers. As soon as it was announced that th Liv, rpoul was coming up the river, ltun dreds were to be soon wending their vyny to tie wharves, and we dont whethet more people were assembled on the arri val of the Grent Western. The docks, with the vessels lying at them. in the neigh borhood of Pike and Ruigers streets, were crowded this norning with tlhosewho were anxious to obtain a sight of this noble stenier. In extcrunl appearance the Liverpool does not differ much rromi the Great West ern, with the exception that she has two smoke pipes, that her sides are not relieved by the white streak of the latter, and that she has only three iasts. We took a hasty view of her cabin this mornin- and have only time to say that it is very neatly fur nished. The London 'Morning IIerald contra diets thae report that the, Queeat had written an autograph letter reinesting Iord Dur haam to remain in Canada, It says there was to foundation for tie report. The London papers state that'1000 tons of pot atoes had lately been shipped fromt tht 'Thamties to New York. It ia been ascertained that the steam hout Northern Yachat is lost. She was seen to sink, and] it is supposed that all on board perished--22 in number. It is rumored that the larquis of Nor mandy is to be the Governor of Canada. Ebc 9140crtifilr. EDGEFIELD C.
