while 'others snppose,their intention is 47,ain to
visit the inhabitants of St.-Am-kind. We alsci

" Dispatches have been received from Lieut.
General- Drummond, containing accounts from
Major-General Riall to the .17th instant.
.1' The Major-General was then at Twenty Mile
Creek, to which place; after leaving strong garri-
sons in Forts George, Niagara, and Missastingua,
be had arrived with part of the Royals and Kings
regiments, some Mititia and Indians,. and where
'he • bad been joined by Colonel Scott, with the
103 d regiment, from Berlin ton,' and part of the
Gleufrary Fencihles, from York'. The ntior-
Generli!s collective force amounted to 00ve.4000
nn:n, with which_ it was his•intention to take up
a position-at the Twelve Mile Creek.
-.4 The eretny, in this afternottu of the 15th,.
advanced a strong column from Quecuston, Colf-
sisting of about three tious,and men, with a six •
ponntlen and howitzer, and approached Fort
George, evidently with theiritention of establitilt-
in4t their positioni, to ens ble•them to carry on
their opmitions against thatpost.
" Lieut.-Colonel Tucker, who had been left in
*command of the torts on the frontier, moved out
front Fort Massasnagna with two 6-poundets and
a detachment of the King's regimenti, while at the
same tine a part of the •ItOyals•plitved out front
'Fort George. ' A heavy cannonading commenced,
wh,en lasted for upwards of an hour, when the
impression,:of our fire upon the enemy was such
:is to compel him to retire precipitately, and, as it
is supposed, with considerable loss. Not a casualty
occurred on our part.
Accoun's have also been received at head.
yrarers from Lieut.-Colonel 111‘Donald, at Ali-
chilmiackinac, dated the 10th inst. when the gar-
rison %las in the highest health and spirits, and
amply supplied with every thing.
1 he enentv's fleet had not left Sackett's Har-
bour »n rhe 2lst, and it was not' expected that •
they .would be neatly to sail before the end of the
monfh."

From the Montrfal herald, Saturday, July 30.

&aux 6th June, is !torn the river. at No. S.
Accounts are re ived from General Riall's
Head-quarters, at Twelve Creek, dated the
2`..'d inst. The troopi,weie in good spirits, had
daily skirmishes •witlr the enemy, always to the
ativantage ; bringiug in many prisoners. The
army was about being joined by the 89th and De
Wattev•ille's regiments. Gen. Di'ununond.-would
arrive on the 24th. •

"'The Americans have resumed the barbarous
practice of spreading conflagration at every step.
They have again reduced Pueenston to ashes, and
~the beautiful village of St David's has met the
same fate.- It is evident from these circumstances,
that the enemy is on the eve of retreat ; we trust
.he will be foLowed and overtaken, no matter at
what distance, chastised tor his wanton cruelties,
and his cOuntry laid waste. The necessity is
. but retaliation is the only way in which 'a
stop can be put to this war of extermination.
" All was quiet at' ingst on on the 26113.—1 t
was understood that Ow American fleet would not
soon put to sea, but uncle' very favourable cir-
.eumstances. We are happy to learn that Sir Jas.
Lucas Yeo is in-good health, and has not been
seriously indisposed as was lately reported.
