Hoid-quartert, Montreal, Aorta. !7, 1814. MY Lonn—The succcstful result of the gallant enterprise 'hialnst the enemy's small vessels laying off Feet Etie, as detailed in the. enclosed extract of a dispatch from Lieutenant-Oeneral Drummond, hay. ing encouraged the expectation that a favourahle period had arriv6l for attacking the enemy in their entrenchments, the Lieutenant-General was induced twOrder Bth atm* upon Fort Erie, and the wcrks cottneeted 'With it, b.2fore the break of day on the 15th instant, It is with deep concern t have now to acquaint ybur Lordship, that notwithstanding there was the bitest titdspett of success at the commencement of the attack, our troops were afterwards obliged to re tire without accimplislaing their object, and with very consideriafeloss. To Lieutenant-Genera[ Drttrrimond's official re port on this subject (a copy of which I have the honour of transmitting), if beg leave to refer your Lordship for the cause of our failure. • It is however Highly satisfactory to know that nntil the unfortunate explosion toolgitate. and until his Majesty's troops, by their near approach to the abbatis in front of the cntrenchments, met such difficulties in penetrating as mere found to be unstrrrnountable without the aid of Pratt, they ir.haveti vcith their usual galiantry and 6.icipline, and had paired, by their determined etforts, advantage; whie!l accident alone appears to h.iye'cnrrti-elied them to forego.

Slit—Hay inly, reason to believe that a sufficient im prissi tn had been produced on the works of the ene my's folt, by the lire of the battery which I had opened on it ott the morning of' the 13th, and by which the stone building had been much injured, and gen-ral outline of the parapet and earbrasnres *very nileh a:tered, 1 determined on assaulting the rlsice: and according:ly made the necessary arrange rs...ins for a:tacking it, by a heavy column directed to the entrcnchments on the side of Snake-hill, and by two, columns to advance hoar the battery and assault the font and entrenchments on this side. The troops LEstitted to attack by Snake-hill, (which consi,ted of the king's regiment and that of De lilmtrvillc'a, with the flank companies of the 89th' and 100'h regiments, netlet Letitenant-Colonel Fis cher, of the regiment Watterille), marched at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, in order to gain the e s irinity of tire point of attack in sufficient time. It is with the deepest regret I have to report the failure of both attacks, winch were made two hours, before. 4iattith; this morning. A copy of Lieute. rent:Cttionel Fursber's report, herewith enclosod, will eritthle lout Excelleticy'to form a tolerably .eorrect jubi,ment of the cause of the failure of that attack riatt.titerhead of the'cetentli (Mich had entered the plate without diiiltnity oppbeition) been support• et!, 6144nesny:routt hit* lid from-his works ( which Were • agti akitei.. it lane-contratplareal tn- the instruc ting% in 44eekes.. , ), %eye 'lnt rendered. atfarleon the , hitt and entrenchments leading tam it to tilt 'Likes wits sande at the same moment by; two c. limns, one under Lituterrant Colonel Drum mond, ;04 , .11 , regiment, consisting of the flank coin., ffst• and . 104th regiments, and a body of sea men and marines, under Captain Dobbs, of the royal navy, on the lot I the oilier tinder Colonel Scott, 1031, coosisting of the 1(13J regiment,- supported by two companies of the Itoyals, was destined to attack the entrenchments. These columns advanced to the attack as soon AS the firing trfoet C Lute) F scher's column was heard, and succeeded, at ter a desper.tte resi,tance, in making a lodgrnent in the fort through the embrazures of the denli - b44 10 1 1 , the guns of stlitch they had actually tinned against the enemy, who still maintained the fitone Building, when must tinter• unately some am- Munition, n hien had been placed under the platform caught ft. e, fins :he filing of the guns to the rear, Sind a most tremendous explosion followed, by which almo.t :ill the troops which had entered the place were dreadfully *mangled. 4'an!c was instantly COMMIT: nicated to the troops -(whe 'ca<l& not be perstiaded that the explosion was accidental), and the enemy, at the same time, ptelling forward, and CoMMencing A heavy fire of musketry, the fort was abandoned, and our troops retreated towards the battery. I immediately pushed out the Ist battalion Royals, to su l pha and cover the retreat, a service which that .valuable corps executed with great steadiness. Our loss has been very severe in killed and wounded, and I am sorry to add, that almost all those returned "missing," may be considered as wounded or killed by the explosion, and left in the hands of the enemy. The failure of these most important attacks has been occasioned by circumstances which may be con sidered as almostjustifying the momentary panic which they produced, and which introduced a degree of confusion into the columns, which, in the darkness of the night, the utmost exertions. of the officers were ineffectual in removing. The echoers appear invariably to have behaved with the mist perfect coolness and bravery ; nor could any 'thing exceed the steadiness and order with which the advance of Lieutenant Colonel Fischer's brigade was made, until emerging from a thick wood, it found itself suddenly stopped by an abbatis, and within a heavy fire of musketry and guns from behind a for midable entrenchment. With regard to the centre and left columns, under Colonel dcott and Lieute nant-Colonel Drummond, the persevering gallantry of both officers and men, until the unfortunate explo sion, could not be surpassed. Colonel Scott, 103 d, and Lieutenant-Colonel Drum mond, 104th regiments, who commanded the centre and left attacks, were unfortunately killed, and your- It:xcellency will perceive that almost every officer of those columns was either killed or wounded by the enemy's fire, or by the explosion. • Ivly than7:3 are due to the undermentioned of leers, viz. to Lieutenant-Colonel Fischer, wit° cernmanded the right :meek ; to Major Conte, Aide-do-Camp to your Excellency, who accompanied that column; Major Evans, ut the King's, commanding the ad vance ; Major Villatte, Watteville's, Capt.

Stet—Hiving succeeded in getting my gig and five batteaux across from the Niagara River to Lake Erie, a distance of eight miles, by land, I last night at tacked the three enemy's schooners that had anchored close to Fort Erie for the purpose of flanking the ap proaches to that fort. Two of them were carried sword in hand in a few minutes, and the third would certainly have fallen, had the cables not been cut, which made us drift to leeward of her among the rapids. The schooners taken are the Ohio and Somers, eammanded by Lieutenants, and mounting three long twelve-pounders, with a complement i.t 35 men each. My g allant friend, Lieutenant Radcliffe, and one seaman, tell in the act of boarding, which, with four wounded, is our loss. The enemy had one man killed and seven wounded; among the later is Lieu tenant Conklin, commanding the squadron, as well as two of his officers.
