PARTICULARS CONMUN!CATED IN A LET-

TER FROM A GENTLEMAN AT BUFFALO

„” Buffalo, August 15.
A most brilliant affair has covered our arms
with glory !- This morning, between one and two
ecinck. tl e -•riniy made :an assault on Fort Erie
and entrenchinents at Erie, and were most
s! with immense loss. A sinful-
tancun. attack w:ls made on our right and left
flank, the former of which was formeq by Fort
Erie, and entrenchment, drawn in Continuation
of the north-eastern flank of it. The latter by a
strong redoubt. At the latter place the enemy
approached with bayonets charged, and guns
without flints, irarly. siirrounded the piquet, and
pursued them so closely as to enter through the
abattis with diem, and got in the rear,of the re-
doubt (where an 18-pounder, two sixes, and five
one-half inch howitzer, were placed), befOre a
complete discharge could be made from them,
which our men were compelled to do, without
paying any attention to the.pignet. •
Their scaling ladders were too short, and de-
struction was dealt on every side :nuong them.
On the right flank, they Mounted the bastion,
Whose 'height they knew, by escalade, obtained
possession of it, -the Lieutenant commanding it
being killed. Dere was kept up a most vivid and
spirited. fire. From the opposite bastion, our
artilleryfircd into the inag-zzine beneath it, which
exploded a, a lime woen two ii:iiidred of the ene4'
iny•were.ffpon it, and totally destroyed them. They
were roatett completely. Their loss from 600 to
1,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners—of the two
latter nearly 300. Six deserters have, come in
this mornin:, who estimate their loss at 1,000,
It Cannot'be less. Ours does not probably exceed
30. 'l-en only have a's yet been- ascertained to
have been killed: The ground is strewed with
the enemy's dead. Colonel Drummond, • cousin
to the-General, is killed. Two Majors are said
to be taken'prisoners.
•
The explosion was accidental. The ar-
tillery, as they retreated,•threw.their matches un-
der the platform, wJch remained 'burning §eVC-
.
rJ minutes, and exploded as the British covered.

of Buonapatte, and the result of the observations
of the Commission thereon was, that it.was un-
necessaryto-deliberate on a prohibition of the im-
portation of; Foreign Cottons as. requireil %by the
Petitioners, but that a communication Should, be
made to Government respecting the imposition of
a protecting duty.
,Agreed to.

several* amendments :-ISt", That Military men,

years -either in Fiance or other countries, should

ceremony.

Letters from Vienna announce, that it appears
certain, that there will be preliminary negotiating

continue more than eight days, then the Congre-ss
will be opened.

BRUSSELS AND FRANKFORT PAPERS.

GHENT, SEPT. re-establishment of
•frieidship between the PienipOteutiarics at the
Congress, which we already foresaw, and an
nounced, on the 12th, has been completely effect-
ed. Last Thursday the AMerican Ambi:ssadors
received those of England 'at a splendid enter%
tainineut, at the hotel. The most cordial ,atiec-
Om reigned between the Negociators. Among the
guests were Messrs. Falck and Baron de CapcllmA,
Secretaries of State, theint endant, and the Mayor.
The English Commissioners give to-day, inetheir
turn, an entertaiument to the American Ministers..
The negociations are still continued.

GHENT, SEPT. IB.—Never was • there a more
active correspondence than that between the Ho-
tel of Lovindishem and the Charteaux. During
the last week couriers in the English. and Ameri-
can livery were incessantly going, -coming, and
c.x.changing. notes. Last Thursday, the, public
curiosity, already on tip-toe, -Was .raised to the
highest pitch, when about five in the afternion,•
two 'strangers, seemingiy of very high rank, a
they were conducted by the Intendant, were seen
to enter. the Hotel of the American Ministers ;, 8.1-74
most at the same moment the Members of the.
Englishh-Legation arrived with- their Secretaries.
Al] doubrs wore now -at •• an end; the •st rangers
„.
were the Russian Mediators Who hitVC been so
tong talked of. - A.number of English spectators
did- not even wait for the end of this famous cOn-
ferettee,' hut immediately set out express,t:or Lour i..
don and Liverpool, whence we shall -dOubtless
hear news of aehange in the price of cotton.
it is now known the .exchange 'of notel was
not- absolutely on diplomatic subjects, but on both
sides a mere interchange of civilities,
Last Thursday the American Commissioneks
gave a grand -dinner *tit the Luglish Legation,.
and among the persons of distinction piesent.f
ivere, of cont se, . remarked, Mr. Falck anti
Van de Capellan, the Secretaries of Stacie, 'who
pssed.throtigh this city, 'returning from Pliges.
The English Legation gives to-day a darner to
the American Ithnisters.

Nothing is more indifferent than a dinner, bet
it ceases to be so when every body tries to guess,
front the external relations between the Engl;sli
and American Minister S, whether they continue
to agree, or not to agree. It. is probable' that,
they will agree to-day precisely as they agreed on
their first conference but how did they agree
then ? That is their secret, which they well.knunr
how to keep.
DRESDEN, SEPT. IG. -!-'the report in many
public papers, ti4it the King of Saxony has, by
a formal act, renounced all flaints to Saxony, is
wholly groundless. It is certain that his Majesty
is going to Vienna, whither he has been invited.
