PROM ORLEANS. j • f We hare in our pofiellion (lays the Georgia Journal) ojjieial reports from Gen. Jackson to the Secreta ry at war up : to the 30th of De cember ; for the publication of which we have not room in to-day's paper—thre following futnmaryCon tains the principal fads (fated in his official letters. in the battle on the night of the 23d December, the enemy Viorce is estimated to have been 300O —* ours only 1500. —Their loss on that occasion in prisoners was 66, in eluding one Major and two fub akem officers—-the number of killed and wounded unknown, but supposed to be double ourk, which, was about 100 in killed, #ounded and prisoners. Our army contin ued on the battle ground ‘till next morning, and then retired to a flronger position two miles nearer to New Orleans. On the 27th December, the en emy succeeded, by means of hot fliot, in blowing up the American” armed schooner Caroline, which lay becalmed in the Miffifiippk Emboldened b.y this fuccefe,- lie marched his whole force agaialt our army, but was repulsed with the loss of 120 ui killed— our lofs ’ was inconsiderable, about tali a dozen killed and double'that num ber wounded. Lie number of Britiih troops landed from the boats, according to information given by pri loners and deserters, was 7000. Nenn. Orleans, January IS. Messrs Isler <kf M'Curdy, GeNTLCMEN ; 1 Since my la.lt, i have been em ployed in the Itaff of Major Gen eral Carroll. Our army remains encamped behind their break i works, in good (pints, pofieffing both the wall and the abliiity to repel any attack which may be made upon them by the enemy. On the Bth ink-apt at me dawn of day the Briufii forces were in motion and instantly commenced a molt furious and vigorous a (fault on our lines, ihe attack was well planned and bravely maintained by the foe, in the face of a galling k definitive fire from cur infantry and artillery. The refo.lt was at no time doubtful, the afiaihnts being . repulsed in every charge with itn rnenfe (laughter. ‘ The enemy ap proached in two uivifions, fthe one directed agaialt the left, defended ■ by the fennefiee militia, under the ’ command of Gen. Carroll, and t the other againk our right, fvp ; ported by heavy artillery, and ; rockets in the centre. For the f moment the baltion on the bank ‘ of the rive was carried bv Lt. Col. 1 j | Rannie, who ied on his detachment | | to the wall, with great bravery, j after having a leg (hot away by a ? cannon halt, but the unfortunate j Colonel had scarcely looked into I our entrenchment before he was 1 ton cI rL bv a Mr. Weathers triRTUE, LIBERTY, AND SCI!'MCE. who belongs 10 a villa corps from this etty; the buff ion was retaken ■ ‘ the point of the bayonet, and the whole party were either killed or made pri loafers. On the loft, cur lire was kill more defirucltve. Hie enemy advanced in fo’id col umns with beating ladders and bun des of sugar cane follened before them, to protect them from the f nail arms. Naryrith landing these precautions, very few of them reached the ditch. General Car voTs division poured in upon them a molt deadly difcLrged or rille and muiktt fliot, with akori i iiiag elhcl. With the coolness <:f veterans, the militia rtferved their fire, until the enemy came within point blank distance, and each man took deliberate aim, .vith as much precision as they would have done, at Hie hannlefs i"eer of the forme. The British troops were driven back, but again formed, difiTued column, and renewed file allault; arnfia they were compelled to fly, leaving the extenfivc plain, on which they fought, covered with their dead and wounded soldiers. The fee no was calculated t->,draw forth the (mile of exultation from the pair:? f, mingled with (the tear of fym. yhy for the miferahie V a fids who were faughtcred, in a'tte-iptir.g to i-'ippoit theunjufi pro ten dons oi an ambitious Prince, and to deprive a peaceable and virtuous people of the liberty, which heaven in its wis dom has bequeathed to than.
