SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, Itl4.

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. Commodore Chauncey from Sacketr's
Harbour on the Ist ult. Gen. Izard, with 5000 men, is said ,
