lhat rttcr, at n small place called Helena. on the
trail of the enemy. Their trail Rave evidence
that their numbers must be considerable. Their
order of march was in /three parallel columns.—
Over the dry prairie, the route ol each column
was worn from two to six inches in the earth ; and
where the ground w« *«ch as for a moment to in
terrupt their regular order of march, their trails
appeared like an ordinary road which had tarn
rravclled for years, wanting only the tracks ol
wheels.
From this time until we reached the Mississip
pi, we continued without deviation to follow the
trail of the enemy, having no other guide; atid it
led, doubtless with a view of b tilling the army,
over su -h a country as, I venture to say, has sel
dom been marched over; at one moment ascend
ing bills* which appeared almost perpendicular;
through the thickest forest; then plunging through
morasses; fording to our necks, creeks and rivers,
passing defiles, where a hundred resolute men
might repulse thousands, whatever their courage
or cnppctty ; next clambering tip and down moun
tains perfectly bald, without so much as a bush to
sustain a man. It was in this march that our in
fantry regained their confidence in their own pow
ers, which (lacking the powers of rapid locomo
tion to make a dash against the enemy.) had been
somewhat impaired early in the campaign. They
far outmarched the horsemen, nearly all of whose
horses were broken down.
Tim enemy was under the impression that it
was impossible for us to follow them; and to that
error we probably owe our ultimate success in o-
vertaking them, or at least in bringing them to ac
tion, on grounds of equality. We, each day.
made two of their day's marches, and passed one
or two of their camps. We frequently passed
their dead, who, exhausted by wounds or fatigue,
had expired, and fallen from their horses; on the
1st August, wo passed the bodies of eleven. A
little before sunset that day, we learned from a
prisoner that the enemy were blit a few miles in
advance of us. Up to this time, not a man of the
army knew where we were, save that we were j
north of the Wisconsin, and on the enemy’s track.
We marched until after dark, hastily encamped, |
slept two or three hours, when revedlee beat, and |
we were again in march before dny-break on the ,
2d August.
At a little after sunrise, we discovered the cur
tain of mist banging over the Mississippi, and the (
scouts in advance (a detachment ol Dodges!
corps) announced the vicinity of tin* enemy. \\ o .
were halted for an instant, our knapsacks and bag* j
gage thrown olf, and our pack horses h it. V« e j
then advanced rapidly into the timbered land, and j
he occasional shots in advance confirmed the re- j
port of flic scouts. This firing was from a seh
rear-guard of the enemy, about seventy in ntiru
ber. i
Our order of battle was promptly arranged, un
der the personal supervision of General Atkinson ;
the centre composed of the regular troops, about
380 in number, and Dodge’s corps about 150; the
right, of the remains of Tozev’s and Alexander’s
brigades, probably in all 250 men , the left of Hen
ry’s brigade, in number not far from 400 men.—
This last was, throughout the campaign, a most
excellent militia brigade, and well commanded.—
The army advanced by heads of companies, over
a space of two or three miles. At length, after
descending a bluff almost perpendicular, we en
tered a bottom thickly and heavily wooded, covered
also with much under-brush and fallen timber, arid
overgrown with rank weeds and grass; plunged
through a bayou of stagnant water, our men as I
usual holding up their arms and cartridge boxes. !
A moment alter we heard the yells ol the enemy;
closed with them, and the action commenced.
As I have already been more prnfiix than I had !
intended, 1 refer your readers to the official ac- j
count of the battle. Suffice it to say, that quar- j
ters were in no instances asked or granted. The 1
official report give the number ol killed of the I
enemy, at 150; though doubtless many were kill- |
ed in the river and elsewhere whose bodies were '
never seen afterwards. Our loss was but 27, a-
tnoog whom was one officer, Lieut. Bowman, a
gallant young fellow of Henry’s brigade. This
disparity of loss was probably owing to the rapid
charge made by our troops on the enemy, giving
them time to deliver but one confused fire. About
150 horses were taken or killed. The Black Haw k,
the Prophet, and some other chiefs, escaped from
the action, but were,bron'd;* *“ u y winneua-
nun me friendly portion ol the Sauks, and
ultimately delivered to the commanding (General.
Alter the action, 100 Sioux warriors piescnted
themselves, and asked leave to pursue the trail
of such of the enemy as had escaped. This was
granted, and tiie Sioux alter two days pursuit, o-
vertook and killed 50 or GO, mostly, it is feared,
women or children.
The afternoon previous to the action, the steam
boat Warrior, on her return from the Sioux villa
ges above, with some officers and 20 or 30 sol
diers of the United States’ army, discovered the
Indian army on the bank of the Mississippi, ex
actly where Gen. Atkinson subsequently attacked
them, engaged in constructing rafts and other
means of crossing the river. The enemy for
sometime endeavored to decoy the steamboat, to
shore, assuring those on board, that they (the In
dians) were Winnuebagoos, &e. A sharp skir
mish was finally the result, in which several of the
Indians were killed, aud one of the soldiers wound
ed. The Indian loss is differently reported by
themselves at from 7 to 23. The steamboat re
turned to Prairie des Chiens, and arrived again op
portunely at the close of the action the following
day.
The troops moved down the river to Prairie des
Chiens, where they were mot by !\laj. Gen. Scott,
who with bis staff hftd left the brigade at Chicago,
prostrated by an enemy far more terrible than the
savages—the cfiQlera—and was hastening to fake
part iu the campaign. The wourpled were left
at this place, and the army descended to Rock
Island, where they arrived in fine health and spi
rits on the 9lh August. Indeed, it is astonishing
how perfectly healthy the tioops had been, dur
ing much and great exposure to the ordinary caus
es of disease. Up to this time not a death fiom
disease had oceured, during the campaignc among
the regulai tioops. They h id borne, without the
slightest murmur, their fatigue
and scarcely an occasion for the most trifling pun
ishment had been given, from the time the army
took the field, ft has never been the fortune of
the writer, during a service of twenty years, to
witness for a length of time, the conduct of any
command so perfectly exemplary.
About the 20jh August the troops from Chica
go arrived, under the command of Col. Eustis,
and were encamped about four miles from the.
command of General Atkinson. Poor fellows!
we listened with severe condolence to the tale of
their wretched sufferings from disease ; few of
them imagining that we should call on them
so soon to reciprocate our sympathy.
About the SCth August, a case of cholera exhi
bited itself; this was followed by several others,
and the ravages of this shocking disease became
dreadful. The troops ^vere encamped iu wretch
ed tents, in close order of encampment, and for
several days of continued cold rain, the pestilence

“ Raimia, Lagos Bav, July G.
“ My Lord—It has pleased God to grant to
the squadron of Her Most Faithful Majesty, a
great and glorious victory over the enemy, whom
1 fell in with on the morning of the. 2d inst. off
Cape Ht. Vincent, my squadron having left La
gos Bay the evening before. They consisted of
2 lino of battle ships, 2 frigates, 3 corvettes,. 2
brigs, and I xebecque; my squadron of 3 frig
ates, 1 corvette, 1 brig, and 1 small schooner.
“ I immediately despatched the Villa Flor to
Lagos lor the steamers, which vessels rejoined
me in the evening. During the 3d and 4th theie
was too much swell to lay the enemy on board :
the mode of attack on which I had decided. On
the forenoon of the 5th it fell calm. I expected
from the steamers great and good assistance; hut
w ith the exception of the William IV. they show
ed no disposition to render support, and the en
gineers and crews particularly refuser! to approach
the enemy, the former demanding jl’ 2,000 each
before they went to work. I must, however, do
justice Ur Mr. Bell, who did all in his power to
induce them to act.
“During the discussion, a breeze sprung up,
placing my squadron to windward of the enemy,
who were formed in combat line under easy sail—
the two line of battle ships ahead, the two fri
gates astern, having the three corvettes and Uvo
brigs a little to leeward in the open spaces.
“ ‘ I explained to the captain my intention of
attacking the Rainha with die flag ship and the
Don Pedro : to the Donna Maria was assia»»od
ih** Prince3.-t Real ; and to the Tortuense and V il
la Flor, the Martins do Frietas ; leaving the Don
John (bearing a Commodore’s pendant) and the
small craft, unoccupied.
“ At 2, the squadron, being in close order,
edged away to their respectivestations ; and as we
came within musket shot, a most tremendous fire
was opened on the ships from the whole line,
with tho exception ol the Don John, whose guns
would not hear. Wo were a good deal cut up,
and lost men ; but nevertheless pursued a steady
course, returning the fire as we passed—raked
the Rainha, who had bore up two or three points,
ran alongside to windward, and boarded with all
hands.
“The enemy did not resist our hoarding, which
was however acccomplished with difficulty, but
they defended the quarter deck with great spirit,
and 1 am sorry to say, we suffered severely.—
Capt. Reeves, of this ship, the second in com
mand, and Capt. Charles, my Aid tie Camp,
were, 1 believe, the first on board, (tfie former re
ceived tiiree wounds, one severe ; the latter five.)
j They were closely followed by myself and offi
cers, and a few seamen. Capt. George, who was
serving as a volunteer, and Ll. Wooldridge, were
J killed. Lieut. Hdniuuds and Mr. Winter, my
clerk, severely wounded. Lieut. Disteullis and
j myself were the only ones that escaped : as the
| men got on hoard they rushed aft to support us,
I and m about five minutes the Rainha was our
i own.
j “ By this time the Don Pedro ranged up to lea-
I ward to board, but 1 directed Capt Goblet to fol
low the Don John, who had made off; aud I am
I sorry to say, in the act of speaking to ine, he was
| mortally wounded by a musket ball from the Rain-
j ha’s lower deck ports.
“ Lieut. List, and a party, were left to take
I charge of the prize, and the flag ship steered off
I iu pursuit ol the Don Jtdm.
“\\e were cut up iu sails and rigging ; but by
• nd privations, the great exertions of Capt. Philips, maMer of
1 the fleet, who now took the. direction of the Kain-
| ha, the lore topsail was shifted, lhe tigging knot*

The last accounts received from Napoli, by way

report of new disturbances having broken out In
Greece. Every tiling was proceeding in the best
order, and in perfect tranquility.
It now appeals certain that Athens will become
the capital uf Greece and the residence of the
Monarch. It is also in contemplation to found at
llexamili, on the Isthmus of Corinth, a new sea
port town, which, by its being situated between
two seas, may become very important to trade.
All the Greeks who had emigrated to the Turkish
territory regretted their having done so, and soli

About 12 o'clock this day, our news schooner
came up from the packet ship George Washing-
widow of Tedro 3d, her son and attendants,fled to
South America, protected by and received on
hoard a British fleet. On the death of the Queen
at Rio in IfilR, her son, the father of Don Tedio,
became King of Tortuga!, hut did not return to
his native country, until compelled by the dis
contents of his subjects, their open revolts, and
the adoption of a constitution at Oporto in 1320.
Count Palmella was despatched to Rio Janeiro
with accounts of the procedure, and a petition
that the King or the Prince Royal would return
and assume the government. After some diffi
culty the King sailed for Lisbon, and there, on
being sworn to abide by the new constitution and
the restrictions imposed upon his authority, land
ed on the 4th of July, 1821. The Ministers of
Russia and Austria left the country ; movements } ,,M< * *) ie
took place among those in favor of an arbitrary
government; and Hon John the 0th found himself
iu the greatest trouble and difficulty. Both his
queen and son, Don Miguel, plotted and took up
arms against him, assumed his authority, and en
dangered his life. The King, by good fortune,
escaped on hoard a British frigate, in the Tagus,
under circumstances which, if we had time to re
late them to our readers, would he found very
amusing.
The English, however, put him ashore in five
days, and reinstated him in his authority. Mi

alteration provides that the House of Representatives
