h the colours taken at the capture of Fort Detroit, and
those of the 4th United States' regiment.

Captain Glegg is capable of giving your excellency every
information respecting the state of this province, and I shall
esteem myself highly indebted to your excellency, to afford
him that protection to which his merit and length of service
give him a powerful claim.[81] I have the honor to be, &c.

P.S.--I have the honor to enclose a copy of a proclamation
which I issued immediately on taking possession of this
country.

I should have mentioned in the body of my dispatch, the
capture of the Adams; she is a fine vessel, and recently
repaired, but without arms.

_Sir George Prevost to Major-General Brock._

by express from Detroit, of the 16th instant. I do most
sincerely congratulate you upon the complete success which has
attended your measures for the preservation of Amherstburg.
The surrender of Detroit, the capture of General Hull's army
with so large a proportion of ordnance, are circumstances of

minister upon the success which has crowned your energy and
zeal.

A warrant, giving to you more extensive power over the

I am in hourly expectation of receiving from General Dearborn
intelligence respecting the reception of the prop
