former meeting ; and also the letter of Mr.
CROKER. The Lords of the Admiralty declared
their readiness to give every protection to the
trade, and proposed to appoint regular convoys
from Plymouth, and other places ; but they con-
sidered it entirely out of their power. to assure
the safety of any vessel which might sail without
convoy. It was affirmed, that there were more
British cruisers in the Irish Channel for the pro-.
tection of trade with Ireland than had ever been
known during•the -war with Franca. The meet-
ing terminated, by adopting the suggestion of
Mr. CROKER, to appoint a Chairman for the pur-
pose of any necessary correspondence. Mr. BBN-
!AMIN SHAW was unanimously chosen Chairman.

All these Performers have so often been seen in

any critical notice of their respective merits. It
is sufficient to say, that none came " tardily off,-
and that the Comedy 'was throughowt supported

The new drop curtain is a fine specimen of archi-
tectural grandeur, and beauty. The house made
a splendid, striking, and elegant appearance, and
was received, on the elevation of the stage lamps,
with warm and re-iterated inarks of admiration,
by a very numerous audience. Jr is proger to
add, that the alteration in the proscenium has
greatly improved the power of sound, and that

the 24th inst. and reached Niagara• at day-break
the foll Owing Morning. Fnieiog, from Lietit.
Colonel Tacker, that Major-Gen. Riairwas
derstood to be moving towards the Fails of Nia.,
gars to support !die ativaoce,of his division, which
lie had posiied oti to that place on the precediog
evening, I ordered Lieut.-Colonel Morrison, %kith.
the 89th regiment, and a detachment of the„Rovali
and King's, drawn front Fort George and AiisSisa:- •
ga, to proceed to the satae point, iii order that;
with the united force, I might Oct aaaiirsi- the
enemy (posted at Street's Creek, with his advance,.
at Chippawa) on my arrival, if it :should he found
expedient. I ordered Lieutenant-Coionel Tucken;
at the saute time to proceed up the right hank of -
the river with three 'hundred of the 41st, and
t tvo hundred of the Royal Scots, and a body
of Indian 'Warriors, .supported (on' the river) by a
party of armed seamen, under Captain Dob-Ss, •
Royal Navy. The 'object of this movement iva.
to disperse or rapture a body of the enemy which
was encamped at Lewiston. Some unayoidable de- .
lay having occurred in the march of the troop's up
the right bank, the enemy had moved off previous
to Liter.-Col.'flicker's arrival. I have to express
myself salisfied with the exertions of that officer.
Having refreshed the troops at Queenstoo, and
laving brought across the 41st, Royals, and In:- '
haus, I sent hack the 41st and 100th regimenti
o form the garrisons of the Forts George, .Mis-
sissaga and Niagara, under Lieut.-Col. Tucker,
and moved, with the 89th, and detachments of
the Royals and Kings, and light company of the
41st, in all about eight hundred men, to jeiti
Major-General Riall's division at the Falls.
When arrived Within a few miles .of .that posi,
Lion, I Met a report !coin :Major-General Riall,
that the enemy was advancing in -great force. I
immediately pushed on, and joined the head of
Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison's ,colnuin, just as it
reached the road leading towards the Beaver Dant,
over the summit of the hill at Landy's Lane,
iii-
stead. of the whole of Major-Gen. Ri-ill's division;
which I expected to have found occupying .this
position, I found it almost in the occtipatinu of
the enemy; whose columns were within 600 yards
of the'top of the hill, and the surrounding xeoods
filled with his light troops. The advance of Ma-
jor-General division, consisting' of• -the
Giengary Light Infantry and Incorporated Mi-
litia, having commenced their retreat upon Fort
George, l countermanded tiiese corps, and form-
ed the 89th regiment and ti e•Royal Scots detach-
!limits and 41st ligit companies in the rear of the
hill, their left restMg on the great 'road ; my two
24-pounder brass field guns a little , advanced in
front of the centre on the summit of the !till.; the '
Glengary Light Infantry on the right, the batta- •
lion of Incorporated Militia, and the detachment
of. the King's regiment on the left of the great
toad ; the squadron 19th Light Dragoons iii the
rear of the left on the road. I had scarcely com-
pleted this formation, when the whole front Was
warmly and closely engaged. The eoemy'S prin-
cipal efforts were directed against our left and
centre. • After repeated attacks, the troops on the
left were.partially forced back, and the enemy
gained a momentary possession of the road. This
gave him, however, no'material adyantage,.as the
troops which had been forced back, formed in the
rear of the 89. th regiment',.4:ronting the road, and
Securing the flank. It was, during this short in-
terval,. that Major-General Riall, ' having re-
ceived a severe wound, was intercepted as he was
passing to the .f
rear,. by-aarty of the enemy's ca-
valry, and made prisoner. In the centre, the re-
peated and determined attacks of the enemy wen:
met by the 89th regiment, the detachments of
the Royals and King's and the light company 41st
regiment,'.with the most perfect steadiness and in-
trepid gallantry, and
.the enemy was constantly
repulsed with very,beavy -loss. Of so deterniirted
a manner were these attacks directed against our
guns, that our artillerymen were bayonetted by
the enemy in the act of .loading; and the nozzle,
of the enemy's guns were adYanced within a fey*
yards of ours. The dal kness of the night clueing
this extraordinary conflict-occasioned several un-
common incident's : our troops' having for a mn-
meat been pushed back, some of our guns renni)... ,
ed for a few minutes in the enemy's hands ; thtna
were, however, not only quickly recovered, hut did •
two pieces, a 6-pounder and a 51- inth howitzer,'
which the enemy had brought up, were eapttireili
by us, together with several tinnbrils, and in lha,
bering up our guns at one period', one of the ene-,.
my's six-pounders was put, by_ mistake, upon a
limber of ours, and one of our six-potinders litn7
bered on one of his ; by which means the pieces
were exchanged., and thus; though sve Cavort :if
two of his guns, yet, as he.obtained one of ours,
we have gained only one gun. , •
About nine o'clock (the action having com-
menced. at six) there was 'a short intermission of
firing, during which it . appears the enemy was
employed in. bringing up the whole of his re-
maining force, and he shortly' afterwards re..

.iewe'd his attack with fresh troops, Iva. was

about-midnight, when he bad suffered so severely
from the superior steadiness and discipline of his
'2o.aiesty's troops, that lie gave up the contest and
retreated with great precipitation to his cainp
hc-
yr;tid the Chippawa. On the following day he
::hair;Mined iris camp, threw the greatest part of
Lis baggage, camp equipage and provisions into
the Papids ; and having set fire to Street's-Alin:s,
and-destroyed the bridg-,e at Chippawa, continued
.his retreat in great disorder towards Fort Erie.—
My light troops, cavalty and Indians are detached
in pursuit, and tO harasS his retreat, .which, I
doubt not he will continue until he reaches his

own share.
The loss sustained by the enemy in this sei,-ere
action cannot he estimated at less than 15-00 men,
including several,hundreds' of prisoners' lett in .our
bands his two commanding-Generals Brown and
Scott, are said to be wounded, his. whole force,
which has never beep Toted at less han 5000,,

having been engaged., • Enclosed I have the hor-
flour to tratisMit a return of our loss, which has
-been very considerable. The number of troops
• undet' My'Corninand did not for the first three

hcittr exceed .1600 men ; the - addition' of the
troops undtr Colonel Scott, did rot increase it to
more than 2800 of evely description.•
A very difficult, but at the same time a most
gratifying duty remains, that of endeavouring to
do justice to the merits of the officers and sol--
diers by whose .valour and discipline this import-
ant success _has been obtained. • I was very early
in the action deprived of are services of -Major-
General
.Riall,:yho, T regret to learn, has suffered
the amputation of his •arin* in the enemy's pos-
session': his bravery,
.zeal and, activity have al-
ways
. ibeen conspicuous: "

'-Getieral, 1 inn So deeply indebted for his valuable

cellency's attention to the distingaished- merits of

been particalarl consincuouS' in every affair that
has taken place,Sinceliis arrival iv' this province.
The -zeal ' and intelligence displayed by -Major'
Glegg, Assistant Adjutant-General, deserve iny

'a very intelligent and prinnising young • Officer,
Lieutenant Moorsoin, 'lo4th.'regiment, 'Derity
Assistant Adjutant-General, who was killed to-
-wards the close of the action. • The active 'exer-
tons of Captain Deputy-Assistant-Quar-
ter-Master-Gencral, of whose gallantry and con-
duet I had occasion on two former instances to
•rinark, were conspicuous. • Major Manic and
Lieutenant, Le Breton, of the Quarter-Master-
General's Dvpartment; were--extremelinseful to
me ; the latter was severely wounded.
Amongst the .Officers from whose active exer-

tions I derived, the greatest assistance, I cannot
with to mention my Aides-de-Camp, 'Captains
' .11.-rvoise'and Loring, and Captain ,llolland, Aid-
de-Camp to Major-General Itiall ; Captain Lo-
ring-was unfortunately • taken prisoner )y some
' of the encmy's'•dragoons, whilst in the execution
of all order. -

In reviewing the .action from its commence-
ment, the first obi.ect which presents itself, as
'deserving of notice, is the steadiness and good
countenance of the squadron of the 19th Light
ihnotms, under Major Lisle, and the very cre-
di7ahle and excellent defence made by the. Incor-

pointed Militia battalion,' under-Lieut.-Col. Ro••
bison, who was dangerously Wounded; and a de-
tachment of the Bth (King's) regiment, under Col.
Campbell. Major Kirby succeeded Lieut.-Colonel
-Robinson in the command of the Incorporated
Niiitin battalion, and'eontinned very gallantly to
direct its efforts ; this battalion has only been or-
'ganized a few months, and much to the credit of
C:.ptain Robinson, of the King's regiment (Pro-
vincial Lieutenant-Colonel) has attained a highly
respectable degrees of discipline.
in the reiterated and determined attacks which
the enemy made tin onr centre, for the purpose of
gaining, at once, the crest of position, and
Our guns, the steadiness and intrepidity displayed
by the troops aWAted for -the defence of that post,
were never surpasscil : they consisted of the. 2d
battalion of the 89th regiment, cornroam-led-by
Lieut.-Colonel Morrison, and after the
Colonel had been obliged to retire front the field,
by a severe wound, by Major Clifford ; a detach-
inent of the Royal Scots, under Lieut. Hemphill,

pidsedi the desperate of made agairiSt them.—
th'e right, the steadiness and good counte-
