REPORT FROM FORT ERIE,

GREENOCK, SEPT. 24.-=Arrived yesterday, the
Mary, MoottE, from Quebec ; sailed thence a
running ship, 31st ult. About 23 miles to the

of General DRUMMOND having entered Fort Erie

drawn, the British entered. They were not long
in possession, however, when the fort exploded,
and.6oo of our troops blown into the air 5 the
other 300 were taken prisoners.

COMMODORE BARNEY.----As our.' Readers may
wish to know something of Commodore BARNEY,
we give them the fol!owing particulars, which we-
derived from the best authority :—" The famous,
dr-rat her the infamous BARNEY, is among the pri-
soners ;—there is not a greater scoundrel un7
hanged. That is the fellow who, when old
WASHINGTON would not permit him to commit
piracy and plunder on the English, abandoned his
country, carne to France, accepted -a comaiission
under the Directory, obtained the-command of a
squadron of French frigates, and (lid actually
capture several American vessels !—This is a.
pretty practical exemplification of the benefits of
transferable allegiance." .
This day Alderman BIRCH was elected Lord
Mayor for the ensiling year.
A Messenger left toWn- .last night -With - dis-

A private letter from AMerica states, that in
the late action with the enemy on the heights
above Blitdensburg, "
.Colonel THORNTON, of
the 85th Foot, was severly wounded in the hip
by a musket-ball, which -splintered the upper part
of the thigh bone. When left at Bladensburg he
appeared easy, and freq from pain ; the best
means of conveying him to the shipping had been
prepared, but the slightest motion causing excru-
ciating pain,'he was left behind, at his own re-
quest. Colonel Noon and Major BROWN were
also unfit to be removed, and were left at the
same place, with two Subalterns of the 4th Foot."
