A hrilliant 'victory has once 'tn . ore crowned our arms in Canada. On the 'oth of Jul) a-. handful of British heroes u:.der the command of General Drummond repelled the re• peited and desperate attacks of twice their number of Ame rican chosen troops; and after a conflict of six hours, saw them retiring hastily before them. The details will be found in the Supplemental Gazette, where tbey are given with the candour of a man who wishes to conceal nothing flow his country.. intelligence of a chevered nature arrived yesterday from Am ( rica. It was brought i)y the Jenny, which came into n..rtmouth on Friday in `lB days flom Briktol, Rhode Bland. The Rhode It•land Tclegraph of the 27th contains. the follow ing account : Gen. Gaines joiniA the Amelican army under General Brown, on !he 7th'of Angus!, at Fort Erie. On the 15th the fort .wai attack be Colonel Drummond, and a desire-. Tate action took pace, which terminated in the defeat of the Colonel,- who lost 600 in killed; wounded, and prisoners. lie was himieffamorg the killed. " Advices from W shitr4ton, of the 24th, give an account erf Commodore Porter having arrived with his squadron of seamen for the manning of the new frigate. We are is daily expeeta.tion of an a•tack from the Bi itish. Commodore Chauncey was off kingtcn with his squadron. " Sir A. Cochrane, with .16 sail of ships of war, trars• port` , far in the Chesapeake, and has landed 4000 men." ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The attack wag made on Fort Erie on the i s<<rh A ugnst, at two o'clock in the morning, which failed of success, and the SMPT. 25., British were compelled to retire, with the hiss of 600 mfn killed, wounded, and prisoners. Colonel Drummond, a re.► lation of the General's, is among the killed. Commodore Chauncey was left blockading the British squadron on the Lake. Admiral Cochrane is in the Chesapeake with 46 sail, con• sitting of men of war, transports, &c. and has effected a landing with 4000 men, with an intention of g-ing against Washington. The American Government has collected a force of 7000 men to meet them. Such are the contents of the Rhode Island Paper of the 27th of last month. In addition to this we have a report from Halifax of the 25th ult. of Baltimore having been taken by Admiral Cochrane, with a great quantity of vessels, stores, &c. This report acquires some strength from the statement we have just extracted from the Rhode Island Paper of Ad tniral Cochrane having landed 4000 men in the Chesapeake. A report of the taking of BaTmore ha - , reached Plymlutb; and is consistent enough in circumstance with all the previ ous movements with which we were acquainted in the Chesa peake Bay. It is, however, supposed that this intelligence is as yet nothing more than an anticipation of what is likely to • happen ; and much as we shall hail every blow struck at these braggard and mischievous enemies, there is not a spot in the whole United States where an infliction of British vengeance will be more entitled to our applause, than on this sink of Jacobinical infamy—Baltimore. The Wasp does not appear to have been sunk. A vessel has arrived in the Downs with three Masters of captured ships, which the Wasp had put on board her, one of the Masters says he was on board the Wasp when she had an engagement with a British slum) of war, whOm she left i ,n a sinking state, being obliged to sheer off herself on account of another British ship heaving in sight. She said that she had only two killed and three wounded. A letter from Quebec, dated Aug 4, says, "The power of England was never displayed in Canada as at present. The troops which arrive daily are no longer reinforcements, but complete brigades, moved from the banks of the Garonne to .the St. I.awrence, with the whole materiel of an army in the field. The hoses which dr:lgged the cannon at the battle of Toulouse, on the loth of April, are now at Quel , ec. as well as the pontoons on which the British forces crossed the Adour ansl Garonne. Such troop;, carrying with them such recollections, never landed in America." _ _ _ Wednesday arrived Ilalifax Papers to the 26th ultimo, con st,me extracts frOm those of the United States to the 18th. They brought the Ames icon Account of the battle of the • 25th of July, near the Niagara Falls ; or, as it is called by the enemy, the htutle of Chippawa. It is written by an Aide-de- Camp, the two American generals, Brown and Scott, and all the Field Officers having been disab!ed in the action; and he has the modesty to claim a decisive victory—to assert that the British Lad an immense superiority of numbers eng:lged, but were r everthOess driven from every position, loq a!I their artillery, and, in short, were completely defeated ! 11 we may credit the American papers, the enemy baying . received reinforcements, intended to make a stand erar Fort Erie. A • report from Buffalo, in a Baton Paper of the 17th ult. says that our ti . oops were repulsed in an attack upon Fort Erie on the 3d August. Anotheracccunt from Fort Erie on the 7th, making no mention of any attack on the 34 strites, that- the fort was in% wed by a superior force,-and an attaA !lout ty expected.
