AMERICAN PAPERS. GENERALS CHANDLER AND WINDER. TO TUE EDITORS Or TOIL BOSTON PATRIOT. As many injurious reports are in circulation, re specting the capture of our two unfortunate Generals, Chandler and Winder, I transmit you for publica tion the following extract of a letter from the Assistant Adjutant•Genei al to a Gentleman high in office, on this interesting subject. Yours, &c. " Camp, Forty Mile Creek, June 7, 1813. 44 It.is with extreme regret that I announce to you the loss of; our brave and worthy friend, General Chandler, who was made prisoner yesterday morning in the action with the enemy near Stoney Creek.-: 'Unfortunately General Winder was also taken, both about the time victory was ours.—The morning was extremely dark, so much so that we could not distin guish a red coat from a' blue one, at the distance of three paces. This induces me to believe- that they were lost by entering the enemy's line, supposing it to be their own. They both behaved throughout the action with the utmost coolness and bravery ; and it is with great satisfaction I can assure you, that they were not taken by surprise or alarm. They anticipated an attack, and had tnade their arrangements accord ingly. Our troops slept on their arms in line of bat tle, formert to the best advantage the ground would admit of. 46 The Generals spent- the previous evening toge ther until twelve o'clock, in General Chandler's tent, making arrangements for the victory they anticipated the next day. 44 After the departure of General Winder and our guides, General Chandler and myself lay down, but did not sleep. About twenty minutes past two o'clock in the morning, our outposts and guards were fired on by the head or advance of Ole enemy's column. They immediately after advised us of their approach by a tremendous savage yell. General Chandler and myself were mounted instantly ; and the line formed and waiting for the enemy, by the time they were within musket-shot. General Chandler immediately took post in the rear of the left flank of the right wing, where he issued his orders with the utmost cool ness, and occupied his leisure moments in encouraging his troops to perform acts of valour. I carried „his orders Irequently to General Winder, who commanded the left will, where I found him busily employed, and with great energy encouraging his mezr and giv ing orders. " In carrying those orders I lost sight of General Chandler, and did not know that he was taken until day-light.

A fishing-smack arrived here yesterday afternoon, was brought to on Sunday morning about eight o'clock, by the Ramilies, 74, the frigates Maidstone and Loire, and a brig of war in company. Commodore Hardy detained the smack about an hour and an halt, and `told the Captain not to avempt to go out again, as he had made up his mind to destroy all the smacks and other small craft that he fell in with, until he could be satisfied of the cause of the explosion of the schooner Eagle. The Captain of this smack under stood from Commodore Hardy, that he lost nine men in the explosion of the Eagle. [lf he had said 90, it would have been nearer the truth.) NeW London, lune 30. MR.

We stated yesterday, that great alarm bad been excited on Thursday evening and yesterday morning by a report that a malignant fever had broken out in Wapping—adding, that the Magistrates, before the time of oar writing, would probably have adopted measures to ascertain the truth of the rumour ; and in fact we find, so general was the rumour and so great' the alarm, that the Magistrates of the Thames Police . Office, with a promptitude and zeal which does.them great honour, had been busy all the morning making the necessary inquiries, with a view to the precautions which might have been necessary had there been any foundation for the report. The result of the inquiry has proved that the rumour was altogether unfounded. We have learnt from the Office, that though the cur rency of the statement and the confidence with which it was asserted made it necessary to use prompt mea sures, they had not been able to trace it to its source, but that they have ascertained, most satisfactorily, that there was no truth whatever in the report.

Were the inquiries of the Magistrates closed in time to enable them to quiet the public mind by send ing the result to the Evening Papers ? They did not send them any such notice. The public will draw the proper inference. The letter from Malta which we yesterday laid before our Readers came by the Lady Wellirgtor, packet, which is now performing quarantine. V'e have since seen a letter brought by the same packet. dated the 22d June (the day on which the packet sailed), which is four days later than that we gave in our last. This letter, we are happy to state, mentions that within the two or three preceding days the Plague had very much abated, and that it was expected to be nearly terminated by the 24th. The letter al luded to repeats a fact mentioned in former letters . that not a single Englishman had taken the disease. It notices a similar fact respecting the sarne i malady in Constantinople t— in the coprse of last year 26,000 did of the Plague in that capital, and among those who caught:the disease only two were English, one of whom is still alive—the other died, sot of the ma lady, but of debility induced by that disease, as is sometimes the case with other malignant fevers. We have still nothing but reports on the subject of Lord WELLINGTON'S Victory ; but these are founded upon the authority of private letters, said to have been written by officers of high rank. One letter is reported to state, that on the 28th Souzr made four different attacks upon that part of the Allied Army. which was composed of PRINGLI'IIp PAKENHAtes, and CLINTON'S Divisions, about 15,000 men. The siege of St. Sebastian oras raised for one day. The Portu. guese regiment lost 200 diell in , the trenches. The loss of the 200 Portuguese, mentioned in the first pan of the above Letters, is thusiccounted for. —During the first operations of Soutt, Gent.ral GRAHAM had not only, as the last letter states, discon tinned the siege of St. Sebastian, but had embarked the battering artillery ; as the train could, not have been removed had the advance of the enemy rendered it necessary completely to raise the siege. In the mean time 200 men were left in the trenches, who were cut off by a sortie of the garrison.
