HIS Excellency the Governor in Chief and Commander of the Forces, has received a despatch from Major General De Rottenburgh, trans- mitting a letter from Major General Vincent, containing an Official Report from Colonel Murray, of his having taken possession of Fort George, at Magara, on the 12th Instant, without opposition. — ^The Colonel states, that having received intelligence, of its being the Enemy's intention to plun- der the adjacent Country, and to carry off the Loyal Inhabitants of that District, that he immediately made a forced march with a small detach- ment of the Advanced Corps under his command, consisting of a Party of Royal Artillery, with two Field Pieces, about forty Light Cavalry and 340 of the 100th regt. under Lieut. Col. Hamilton, the whole amounting only to 379 Rank and File, together with about 20 Volunteers, and 70 Western Indians, under Col. Elliott, and notwithstanding the inclemency of the wea- ther, succeeded in arriving in time, to frustrate the Enemy's predatory de- sign, who abandoned the Fortress with such precipitation, on the approach of the Detachment, that his Tents were left standing, nor had he time to injure the Works of the place, which have been restored to a respectable state of defence by the Enem} id would have required a regular siege to reduce. , . , The Enemy succeeded in crossing over his Ordnance and Stores, previ- ous to his flight, which has been marked by eternal infamy and disgrace, in the wanton conflagration of the whole Town, which, in defiance of the common rights of humanity, and^in direct violation of the reiterated pro testations of the American Commanders, to respect Private Property, has at this inclement season, been reduced to a heap of ashes.— By the judicious and prompt movement of Col. Murray, the Niagara Frontier has been res- cued from its Invaders, and a fruitful and extensive District preserved from meditated Plunder, and its Loyal Inhabitants from further outrage, and nn- prisonment -which neither the pledged faith of the American Commanders, nor their patient submission to the imperious will of the Lawless Invaders, \\ould have secured them from suffering.
