Yesterday a very numerous meeting took place at the City of London Tavern, of Merchants and others interested in► the bonding of goods in the port of London.. . _ Sir C. PRICE haVing been called to the chair,, stated, that be fclt it necessary to offer an apology for accepting that situation, surrounded as he w;,%s by so many of the most respectable merchants. viio were deeply interested in the subject, and possessed of mueb greater abilities than he rook' pretend to. The manner in which he caole to be Called to the chair was this :—On coming to town last Thursday, a letter was put into his hands inti mating the intention of the Treasury to enforce, on the 30th inst. the payment of the duties on all goods remaining in the warehouses under bond, after the period allowed by the Warehousing Act. In this let ter was inclosed another front Mr. Arbuthnot to a most• rtspectahle merchant, stating, " that the Lords of the Treasury did not conceive themselves wio.rmted to give any further extension to the time Mentioned in the Wnrehousing Act." This hitt mation appeared to hint of such importance, that, as Chairman of the Merchants trading to the Con tinent, he thought it is his duty immediately to call upon the Secretaty.of that body, for the etprpose of convening a meeting to take this most important notification into their consideration. To his very great satisfaction, be foond that a meeting had taken .`place, which had been' attended by those most respectable that appeared to the ad- Nertisement for convening this General. Meeting'. It was in compliment to that S oc i e ty o f Met - chants of which he had spoken, t ha t h e h ai l b een this day called to the chair. Ile did nor. think it necessary for hint to make many observations; As he conceived that every Gentleman present must f ee l h ow ru i nous it would be to the trade of Lou don ; and what n cruel hardship it would he to many individuals, to have those duties strictly le vied on so early a day as the 30th. -The Commit tee had come to-certain Resolutions, which would he submitted to them, but h e should be happy to hear any Gentleman %vho %visited still further to.elucidate the subject. lie hoped, however, that in what ever observations might he made, the subject• %you::: be considered coolly, and that . 110 extra ordinary warmth might be introduced into the dis cusion. They had only one object—the benefit .of the trade; and although they might differ front the Lords of the Treasury on this point, vet so far from .snaking any severe observations upon. his Ma jesty's Government, he believed that It was . the wish of every one present to support it. It was, thank God, the best Govercinent now existing in the world. The Resolutions agreed to by the Committee 'were then proposed, and unanimously adopted. A Committee was then appointed to Wait upon the Lords of the Treasury, and point out to them the ruinous consequences, both to trade, and to the individual merchants, nom acting upon the notification that had been given. The Thanks of / the Meeting were then given to Sir C. nice for his conduct in the Chair. —We had some considerable ar gn and ,English ; fine samples Iday, but Ordinary New Wheat was a good supply of Oats ; fine •t quoted prices; other articles ay.

COLONIAL DEPARTMENT'. Downing-street, October 10, 1814. A Dispatch of which the following. is a Copy, addressed to Earl Bathurst, •one of his Majesty's - Principal Secretaries of State, was yesterday received from Lieutenaut-General Sir George Pm ost,Bart. Head-Quarters, Montreal, Aug. 27, 1814. MY Loan,--The successful result of the gallant enterprise against the enemy's small vessels laying out Fort Erie, as detailed in the enclosed extract of a dispatch front Lieutenant-General Drum mond, having encouraged the expectation. that, a favottrable period . had arrived for attacking the enemy in their entrencl;ments, the Lieutenant- General was induced to order an assault upon Fort Erie, .and the works connected with it, be fore the break of day'on the 15th instantd . It is with deep concern I .have.now to kicquaint your Lordship, that notwithstanding - there was the fairest prospect of success at the commence ment of the attack, our troops were afterwards 'ohliged„to retire without accomplishing their ob ject, and With very considerable los3. To Lieutenant-General Drummond's official re port on this ,subject (a copy of which I have the honour of ti : ansinitting), I beg leave to refer your Lordship for the causes of our failure. It is how ever highly satisfactory to know, that until the unfortunate explosion took place, and until his Majesty's troops, by their near approach to the abbatis in front of the entrenchments, met such , difficulties in penetrating as were' found to he tin- . surmountable without the aid of light, they be hived With their usual gallantry and discipline, and had gained, by their detCrlllined eforts, an yantages which accident alone appears to have . Compelled them to forego. By account from Lietitenant-General Drum mond to the 18th instant, I find he has since the 15th been joined by the 82d regiment, and that the Gth was on its way.to, an:l would probably be With the right division by this time, together with other reinforcements which are proceeding thither. I have the honour to be, &c. Earl Bathurst, &c. &c. GEORGE PILE VOST. Extract of a Letter from Lieutenant-General Drummond, to his Excellency Sir George Prevost, Bart. dated Camp be fore Fort Erie, August 13, 1314. , I have great satisfaction in acquainting your Ex cellency, with the capture of two of the three armed schooners wl►ich \‘ ere - anchored of Fort Eric, and which ‘ery much annoyed our left flank. This enterprise. was executed in a very gallant stile by Captain Dobbs and a party of about ' seamen and marines, who embarked last night ia six batteaux, which I had, caused to be carried across to Lake Erie for that purpose. I have this morning opened the of the bat tery on Fort Erie, and thongli the distance is found to be great, yet I hope a sufficient effect will be produced. Camp before Fort Erie, Atigust 15, 1SI1: Sta,-,-Having reason to believe that a sufficient impression had been produced On the works of the enemy's tort, by the fire of the battery which 1 had opened on it on the matting of the 13th, and, by which the sto.le building was much injured, and the general outline of the parapet and ciu brazitres very much altered, I ticter•tnined on Os sainting the place ; and Accordiugly wade the ne cessary arrangements for attacking it, by a heavy column directed to the entrenchments on this side of Snake Hill, and by two colu►uns to • advance from the battery and assault the fort and en trenchments on this side. The troops destined to attack by Snake Hill, (which consisted Of the King's regiment and th t of De %Vatteville's, with the Hank compunies of 89th and 100th regiments, under Lieutenant- Colonel Fischer's, of the regiment of De Wane marched at tour o'clock yesterday after noon, in order to gain the vicinity of the point of attack in sufficient time, . . It is with the deepest regret I have to report the failure of both attacks, which were wade two Hours before daylight this morning. A copy of Lieut-Colonel Fischer's report, herewith enclos ed, will enable your Excellency to form a,toler ably correct judgment of the cause of the failure of that attack ; had the head of the Column (which bad entered the place without difficulty or opposition), beeu :tyported, the enemy must .have fled from his works, (which were all taken, .aS was contemplated in the instructions, in re verse), or have surrendered. • The attack on the fort and entrenchments ing from it to the Lake, was made at the same moment by two columns, one under Lieut.-Co lonel Drummond, 104th regiment, consisting of the flank companies 41st and 104ili regiments, and , a. body of seamen and marines, under Capt. Doh bs, of the royal navy, on the fort; the other under Cu!. Scott, Io3d, consisting of the 103 d rtgiotent, supported by two companies of the Royals, was destined to attack the entrenchments. These co lumns advanced to the attack as .soon as the tiring upon Col. Fischer's coltpn was heard, and sue,- ceeded, after a desperiqe resistance, in making a lodgment in the fort throlgh the embrazures of • the denti bastion, the guns of which they had ac tually turned'against the enemy, who still main tained the Stone .13uilding, when most unlortu- • nately some aminimition, which had been placed under the platform, caught fire from the tiring of the guns to the rear, and a most tremendous ex plosion followed, by which almost all the troops which had entered the , place were dreadfully man gled. Panic was instantly communicated to the troops (who could not be persuaded that the ex plosion was accidental), and the enemy, at the same time, pressing forward, and commencing a heavy fire of noisgnetry, the fort was abandoned, and our troops retreated towards. the battery. I innnediately pushed not the lac battalion Itoyals, to support .and cover the retreat, a service which that valuable corps executed with great steadiness. Our loss has been vett severe in killed awl - wounded and ,I am sorry to add that almost all those returned " missing," may be considered as lvonocled or killed by the explosion, amid left itt hands of the enemy. The failure of these most important attacks has been occasioned by circumstances which may TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • SIR,-- , Readingin . ymir Paper of this day a re port of an. examination takyn at Queen-square before the Magistrates, Messrs. FIELDIN(; and COLQUHOUN, on an information, laid by Mr. VENDER against C. PlAl•icA, for selling Detonat ing Balls, and other objects, &C. ete. contrary to an Act of William 111. which detonating object have been construed to come under the said Act as an Article of Fire-works, I beg leave, in order that no misconstruction may be given to what I then said, to make sonic observations thereon. PIANCA havini left the kingdom prior to the information being served, his servant called on me on Saturday last, requesting me to attend the examination, antl• say what I could in In cofflplianve, I did so, and, on my en tering the Office, I heard Mr. Justice FIELDING prohibiting the Fide of every description of arti cle sold by the defendant : I requested to be heard in his behalf, and endeavoured to prove (and I still retain the same opinio n ) that these chemical preparations cann o t he cons id ere d . as tire-works. . Although the experiment I wade was fairly stated in your Paper, •et it is generally allowed by'my scientific friends, that the accidental igni tion of the gunpowder %%as assisted by its superior quality, and by my shoes baying retained hllicious matter, from my . walking across the Park to (...211,.!en septare, which striking some ferruginous body in the floor, 'caused that apparent failure in the ex periment, on which I much depended. It assur edly was the collision of these substances, and not the Detonating Ball, that tired the powder. Your Piper has stated, that I said these balls could not be 'applied to any use but that of an noying the ; I beg to observe, Mr. Editor, such an unguarded expression might escape me, though I received every civility and respect from the Gentlemen of the Bench and their Officers ; yet I felt myself somewhat agitated, being sur rounded by a host of opponents. I now repeat, that these detonating bails and composition may be applied as a preventive against burghries, tO scientific instrnctionin Military Academies, and •entertaining experiments in the Drawing-room, when properly used. • Should these fulminating matter be still consi dered coining under the aforesaid act, I shall certainly tremble whenever I send away such phi losophical articles as Electrical Alachines„ir guns,.l3riquets Pncumatique, Voltas Lamp, l'hos phonic Tinder-boxes, and many other apparatus, especiklly such chemical preparations as:elitit light and heat by their union. To conclude, in the course of this day, the ex periment which appeared to confute nie at the Office, has been eepeated to many scientific gen tlemen, without one instance of an explosion of the gdnpowder having taken place ; and I shall lac happy to show the same to any gentleman who will honour not with a call, `and satisfy himself as 'to the propriety of itLy assertion.
