AMERICAN PAPE/IS.

Thie Pitfala Gazette Extraordiltdry42Bth July,
after giting 'another American aii•Comit of the Vic-
tory of the 25th, adds the ktilowing particulars
oft lie Consequent retreat :
The enemyrenewed the aCtiim while our troops
were busily employed in clearing the grotto(' of
wounded ; but the gallant Americans formed with
alacrity, and after a elcise engagement of twenty
minutes, .the enemy were repulsed. The army
now effected the reitioval of nearly, if not all, of
tile.wounded, oti retired front the. ground, it be-
ing nearly 12 O'clock at night ; they returned • to
their eneiimpment in good. order. On the wont-
ing of the 26th, our forces under- Generals Rip-
ley and niter, reconnoitred the enemy•ilear the
battle `round, returned, .and burnt the. Bridgew-
ater 'Mills, and all the enemy's barracks and the
bridge at ChippaWa,
.and passed up the river to
FOrt,Eric, where they made a_stand.
The enetuy's,, forces engaged must have been
nearly 5900-,-ours short of that number. Major
General Riall was wounded and taken in the rear
of his army, by Captain Ketchum, together with
one of his.'airls,. the other being killed.
It would be impossible to put the action of the
25th on papey, Considering- the numbers en-
gaged, the history' of modern wars wilt scarcely
produce a parallel. The admiration of this nation
will follow those who fought, those who bled, and
those Who fell—to their graves their names will
be justly added to that brilliant catalogue of wor-
thies. The heroes of the revolution and the bat-
tle of Bridgewater ,will be retnembered.by pos-
terity, with .the same sensations as those of
Bunker hill and Sarat6ga.
Major Gen. Brown was severely wounded in the
thigh (besides a contusion on his body,) in the
hottest of the action, but continued to comniand
until the enemy retreated. Brig. Gen. Scutt, was
also severely wounded by a grape in the shoulder,
besides a severe bruise occasioned by a shell or
cannon shot, having lost two horses killed. Col.
Brady, 22d Inf.; Majors Jessup, 25th ; Leven-
worth, 9th ; M'Niel, ; Brig. Major Smith,
Lieuts. Campbell Smouck, artillery ; Lieutenant
Worth, aid. to Gen. Scott ; Lieut. Gimp, Ilth,
together with many others whose names.wehave
not learnt, were wounded, Some badly.
Our loss in killed, wounded, and missing,, is
from 6 to 700.
A Letter froth Huntington, Calvert County,
Maryland, July_lBtit, mentions, that the British
have carried off great numbers of Negroes, and
bitterly accuses the. Government of having sent
all the troops to Canada instead of protecting the
coasts.

CREEK INDIANS..
NASHVILLE, TENN. JUNE 28.—A.Mr. Overton,
of Murray county, who has been detained for
some time against his. inclination on board the
British fleet, has returned home, having_ been
landed from the vessel he was detained in at Pen-

soldiers had landed. From the known respecta..
hility of Mr. Overton and CUs ,immediate know-,
ledge of what lie states,-- we are wart anted in•be•

states, that the inhabitants of Tombigbee were tin-
der serious apprehensions of an immediate•attack,'
end that the above information had been. sent-to
the Piesident of the United States by way of

above mentioned arc for arming the Indians and
-the Blacks of the southern section of the union.--
Conjectures are afloat that Florida. is part of the
indemnification that Eugland •exacts for her .sa-
ctifices of blood and treasure in Spain, and that
very serious' apprehensions may be felt 'for the
safety of Orleans. .
