S. Infantry, have obtained a signal victory over the enemy. The afliiir took place on the 4th inst. about 100 miles from this place, on the river De Trench. Our force consisted of no more than 160 rangers and mounted infantry The enemy from their own acknowledgment, had about 240.

The fine light company ofthe Royal Scotts is totally destroyed they led the attack most gallantly, and their commander fell within ten paces of our front lne. The light company of the S9th has also suffered officer of that company fell, one is a prisoner, and another is said to be badly wounded. In killed, wounded and prisoners, the enemy lost about 80 whilst on our part, there were but four killed and four Wounded. This great disparity jDf the loss on each side, isto be attributed to the very judicious position occupied by Capt. Holmes, who compelled the enemy to attack him at great disadvantage; this even more than his gallantry merits the laurel.

Capt. Holmes has just returned, and will furnish a detailed account of the expedition, which shall immediately be transmitted to you. Very respectfully, $our most obedient servant, if H. BUTLER, Lieut. Coi.
