The loss of the valuable Officers a: Fort Erie is mentioned with uncommon regret by both the soldier kind-the civilian. _ Respecting the fleets on Lake Ontario, no thing of consctittcnce has transpired. ,The Awe- rican fleet has the superiority. , It is stated in accounts from Tipper Canada that the enemy •have 19 boats employed in the river about the Thousand Islands between Pres cott and Kingston, by which they cause consider. - - able difficulty iii.the transportatioh of Government stores and other property.

Extract of a Letter from Washington to the Editor of the At/Hi/lore .dmerican, dated Aug. 9—supposed to be written by a Clerk in the Treasury Department ; " The expected proclamation convening Con gress next month, has at length appeared.--The considerations inducing that very proper measure, are not difficult to be comprehended, Govern ment know not at what moment they may receive the result .of the negociations at Ghent. If that result should bj a treaty, no delay ought to take place id its ratification or rejection ; and the pre sence of Congress is on that account necessary.- - If, on the contrary, the progress of the negociation should disclose dispositions on the part of the ene my presenting an insuperable bar to an honourable peace at this time, speedy additional provisions Nv i I become esse.utial'to strengthen the security to the'Kesent and future creditors of government for the punctual payment of the interest, and final, reimbursement of the principal of their loans; and to place the public credit on a still more firm and solid footing, by authorising the laying of addi tional .taxes, and pledging the resources of the nation in the most satisfactory manner for the re demption of the nation's engagements.—Other military and naval preparations than those hitherto -authorised, would also be necessary ; and it is highly probable that the subject of a national bank will again come before Congress."
