We have the satisfaction to announce another triumph. of the Briti ) h Arms Cana.cla.--- We learn from some American Papers to the. 24th tilt. that on the 22d at January, the American General WiNcuasTEß, attacked the British and Indian force 2,100 strong, stationed on the River Raisin; an, obstinate contest ensued, but victory at length declared in our favour, 600 of the Attlecieali ant . tic pris'oneri, \ T NC►tESTER, and abront the same number tvere killed and wounded. One lecount Ano.Ticans were confused, and after y fiAlaing dirce or four boors, the General Stu- reinlcA," Dispatches, from Sir J. B. WARAFIN, have been received, giving an account of the blockade of the De!atvare; Chesapeake, RndNow . York, arid of the. capture of the American brig of war Piper, of . . many privateers, and merchantmen. "th e de tails will be publish&l in the Gazette of this even- ink; give this day a more detailed account of the unfortunate capture of the Javcz frigate, but it does not add any material ffiet to what we stated yestdday. It is , in truth a most .melancholy event, and it would ill become us to conceal our feelings of deep regret .at the occurrence. No blame, however, can be imputed to the Admiralty, it being impossible for then), by any arrangement of our force, to, have prevented such,a , eiicuin stance from taking place off the Braiils. That , an American frigate should have run down so far, achieved this capture, and returned safe to port, certainly eixcites surprise, but it merely , proves that the most careful precautions may be some tignes halted and rendered nugatory by dnfore- seen circumbial,Gcs. There is no doubt that a very considerable naval force has been, dispatched to the American station, Into the detiil of the arraugeinent of that force it is impossible for us to enter, because we have no infomation upon the subject ; but every credit may be given to the gallant and ex perienced Officer who commands there for making the best distribution of his force that •the nature of the service will permit. We trust, however;that the triumphs of the, petty navy of America are now at :w end. By the peculiar construct ion of three of their frigates, aided by good fortune, they hare gained a tem 'wary advantage, bat it is impossible that that adv :map! can continue. It iy but common justice to add, that the most bravery was displayed in ,the action by the 034:en und Crew of the Javi. \ A 'Morning Paper says, `` .
