WASAINGTON, February 27.
The senate, yesterday, re-considered their
vote of the preceding day for postponing fill
May, the hill regulating the employment of
foreign seamen in the armed vessels and mer
chant service of the United States, and ordered
the bill to be read a third time; every federal
member voting agaiust it.
The bill for ah extra session in May wants
oDly the signature of the president ol the Unit
ed States to become a law.
The house of representatives have refused,
after a long debate, to postpone indefinitely the
bill prohibiting the use of foreign licenses on
board vessels of the United States. It will
probably pars the house. A bill of like import
passed the house a day or two ago, but was re
jected in the senate.
Copy of a letter from Brigadier General Win
chester, now a prisoner of war, to the secte-
tary at war.
Malden, January 23d, 1813.
Sir—A detachment from the left wing, of
the northwestern army, under my command,
at French Town, on the River Raisin, was at
tacked on the 22d inst. by a force greatly supe
rior in number; aided by several pieces of ar
tillery. The action commenced at the dawn of
day; the piquet guards were driven in ; and a
heavy,fire opened on the whole line, by which
a part theieof was thrown into disorder-; and,
being ordered to re lire a small distance, in or
der to form on more advantageous ground, I
found the enemy doubling our left fLnk with
force and rapidity.
A destructive fire was sustained for some
time; at length '-orue down by numbets, the
few of us that remained with the party that re-
tiied from the lines, submitted. The remainder
of cur force, in number about four hundred,
continued to defend themselves with great gal
lantry, in an unequal contest against small aims
and artillery, until I wasbrough in as a prison
er to that part of the field occupied by the ene
my.
At this latter place, I understood that our
troops weie defending themselves in a state of
desperation, and was informed by the com
manding officer of the enemy, that he would af
ford them an opportuai y or surrendering them
selves prisoners of war; to winch I acceded. I
was the more ready to make them surrender
from being assured, that unless done quickly,
the buildings adjacent would be immediately
set on firs, and that no responsibility would be
taken tor the conduct of the savages, who were
then assembled in great numbers.
In this critical situation, being desirous to
preserve the lives of a number ot our brave fel-
loiys, who still held out, I sent a flag to them,
and agreed with the commanding officer of tile
enemy, that they should be surrendered prisq
ers of war, on condition of being protected fro!
the savages, allowed tj retain their private
property, and having their side arms returned
to them. It is impossible for ma to ascertain,
with certainty, the lost we have sustained in
this action, from the impracticability of know
ing the number who have made their escape.
Thirty-five officers and about four hundred
and eighty seven non-commissioned officers ana
privates are prisoners of war. A list of the
names of the officers is herewith enclosed to
you. Our loss in killed is considerable.
However unfortunate may seem the affair cl
yesterday, I am flattered by a belief, that no
material error is chSrgeabie upon myself, ant
that still less censure is deserved by the troops
I had the honor of commanding.
With the exception of that portion of oui
force which was thrown into disoruei , no troops
have ever behaved with more determined in
trepidity. *
I ha’ e the honor to be, with high respect,
your obedient servant,

BOSTON, Febiuary 20.
Sums further particulars of the brilliant naval
victory between the Unded States’ frigate Con
stitution, commodore Bambridge and his Bri
tannic majesty’s ship Java, captain Lambert.
Tj e CoRstiiuiioii commenced the action at
half a mile distance, and w.s one hou; Incio-ae
action, at the begining of which ner j b boons
ran fowl of the J jva’s spanker boom.
Captain Lambert, when carried below, gave
o:de:s not to sutrcr.dcr while there was a spar
standing. There was no doubt but that the
Java’s ci ew was 450, for the officei s on tuard
the ship YVilliam, laken by the Java, ar.d re
ceipted by the Harriet, said they had no doubt
the Java would capture the Constitution if they
fell in with her, for that she was a remarkable
fine frigate, and had near 500 men, including
all on board—she had one man mere tc each
gun than the Constitution. The Java was cf
the same class of the Gueirlere, was also a
French 44, called La Rencmme, which, in
company with the La Nereide 44, was captur
ed off Tamative, Madagascar, 20;h May, 1811,
afier a severe engagement, by the Phoebe, As-
trea and the Galatea, all three 36 gun frigates.
The Constitution had all her boats shot away
except two, her main and mizen-masts much
wouaded, and t igging considerably damaged.
The governor-general who was a passenger
on board the Java, after he had landed at St.
Salvadcre, sent commodore Bainbridge an ele
gant swoid, and a highly complimentary letter,
in which he acknowledged the handsome treat
ment he received from the commodore.
