ANOTHER BATTLE IN CANADA.

Another Battle has been fought in Canada, which,
if we ate to credit the American statements, termi.
nated in favour of the enemy. The loss of the Ame-
ricans, however, has been severe, almost beyond
belief.

On the 28th of April, at day-break, General Dzaawil
BORN, with 5000 men under his command, after cross-
ing Luke Ontario in flat-bottomed boats, landed at
the British fort of Little York. They were supported
by Commodore Cuausczy, with ten or twelve gun-
vessels on the lake, .which kept up an incessant fire;
and after a severe struggle the fort was carried by
the Americans. A considerable number of the Cana-
dian Militia and Indians were made prisoners; but
the regular British force, under General SWAM,
retreat:xi in good order towards Kingston.
The American Brigadier-General Pm, and 200
men, were killed by the blowing up of a powder ma-
gazine; and we are sorry to add, that .50 British ar-
tillery-men (a most valuable description of soldiers)
also perished by the explosion.
The accounts of the above event were brought to
Greenock, in twenty-five days, by the Jubilee, Moa.
BISON, from Halifax, which place she left on the 15th
ult. We have also received by the same vessel, Pa.
pers from New York of the Bth, and from Washington
of the 2d of May. The following are extracts

" HALIFAX, MAY 14,

gt We have been favoured with Boston Papers, just
received by the Martha cartel, five days from thence,
to the Bth inst. and much do we lament the intelli-
gence contained in the following brief extract :"

" ALBANY, MAY 6.

" Mancheser, Niagara Camay. Aptil 9es

a On Tuesday, April 26, at sunrise, Commodore
Chauncey, with ten or twelve vessels of war, appeared
before York, with General Dearborn, and about 5000
men. The infantry, under Brigadier General Pyke;
landed and attacked the town and batteries in the
rear ; while the squadron attacked them by water...-.
At two P. M. they carried the works, taking a great
number of Militia and Indians (of which there was
about 1000 in the fort) prisoners.
" General Pyke, and about 200 men, were killed
by the blowing up of a magazine in one of the bat•
teries, in which a train of gunpowder was left for the
purpose. About fifty British Artillerists shared the
same fate. Indeed the loss has been great on both
sides.—A great quantity of ammunition and stores
fell into our hands."

" General Sheaffe, and most of the regular troops
with him, effected their retreat.

[4, The Little Catharine packet, Captain Vivian,
for Falmouth, will be detainedat Halifax five or six
days, or until the receipt of the next official advices
from Sir G. Prevost, which cannot be expected in
less time. York, the capital of Upper Canada, being
more than 550 miles from Quebec.]
4, It is said that the American frigate Essex has been
taken and carried into Antigua; the Papers say, by
a 74-gun ship. Some of the boats of the squadron
in the Chesapeake landed, on the Sd instant, at a
small town called Havre de Grace, from which the
Americans were soon compelled to retire, and a part
of the town was destroyed.
,4 The Rattler sloop of war is said to have taken
and destroyed two or three privateers.
44 The Crown privateer, of this port, is said to be
taken.—The Orpheus chased the American ship
Wharnpoa from L'Orient, on shore near Newport,
R. I. on the 9.7 th ultimo. The boats of the Orpheus
took possession of the prize ; but being attacked from
the shore, relinquished hcr. We are sorry to hear,
that in this affair Lieutenant Collins was mortally
wounded."

66 The following very unpleasant intelligence is
extracted from an Albany Paper, received here yes-
terday :
4! Manchester (Niagara County), April 25.
44 Six o'Clock P. M.

" DEAR SIR-I have just returned from Fort Nia-
gara, where I saw a Captain of the United States
navy. He is just from Little York, the capital of
Upper Canada, and gives the following accounts
which is confirmed by official dispatches from Gene-
ral Dearborn to GcnQral Lewis, now here:

4, Tuesday, the •16th April, at sunrise, Commo-
dore Chauncey, with a squadron of ten or twelve
vessels, appeared before York, with Gen. Dearborn
and near 5000 men. The infantry under Brigadier.
General Pike landed, attacked the town and batteries
in the rear, while the squadron attacked them by
water. At two p. m. they carried the place, taking
a great number of militia and Indians prisoners, one
thousand Indians being engaged.
General Sheaffe, with a few regular troops, made
their escape. General Pike, with about 200 men, were
killed by the blowing up of a magazine in one of the
batteries, and in which they had a train of powder,
for the purpose. About fifty of the British artillerists:l
were killed by the same explosion. The loss on both
side; is considerable. Our army is now in possession
of the Lawn, and is expected here shortly. Our troops
behaved with the greatest gallantry. Immense (man-
tides of military stores and Indian goods were taken
at York, which seem to have been the depot for these
articles. The vessels of the squadron are not suffi-
cient to bring them away.
!‘ Although enerat Porter doe' tot mention the,
:Akins any British vero.cl4 yet wf; are well informed

•
that a considerable portion of the enemy's Lake Navy
was lying at York, and the other part at Kingston.
It is, therefore, highly probable, that our gallant tars
have destroyed or obtained possession of a sufficient
number of the enemy's ships, to enable our navy to
chase the residue from the Lake."
N WASHINGTON, MAY 1.
" By letters received yesterday from 4nnapolis,
we learn, that aboq'. 130 or 140 prisoners were on
that day landed from the fleet in the 134 y, in conse-
quence of an arrangement for their exchange s about
the same number were expected to be landed yester-
day. It was observed, that after delivering up the
prisoners, the British squadron would proceed up the
Bay. They bad not attempted to approach An-
napolis."
BALTIMORE, MAY 2.

66 The British made an attack yesterday, and after
being repulsed twice at French Town, succeeded in
taking possession of a small fortification there—they
burnt all the warehouses at that place, with a consi.
derable quantity of goods. They then landed at
White Hall, and marched over opposite the battery,
and after receiving two or three shots, retired and
embarked immediately. Thirteen barges are coming
up full of men—we are all under arms here, and ex-
pect another attack hourly."
" NEW YORK, MAY .s.

48 The Notional Intel[isomer contradicts the report
of General Harrison being cut off. The same paper
says, there was a report on board the British fleet,
that we hope is not true, though we see much reason
to fear it is, that our frigate Essex has been taken by
a 74 gun ship, and carried into Antigua."

The American Government having demanded that
British. subjects, naturalized in America, and taken
on board their public or private vessels, should be re-
gularly
exchanged at American citizens, Admiral
Wanass is said to have given a peremptory refusal
to this proposition : and on the 10th ult. the Ameri-
can Agent resident in London received Official in-
formation from Government that no Cartels would be
permitted to sail for the United States until further
orders ; and one Cartel, on the point of sailing, was
actually stopped. Accounts from New York state, Mr.
Secretary GALLAIIN had taken leave of the Presi-
dent, preparatory to his sailing for Russia.
By the system of Blockage adopted on the Ame-
rican coast, by which Boston and some other Fede-
ralist harbours are in a great measure exempted from
the calamities of the war, we are sorry to find that
great facilities are afforded to the egress and ingress
of the American frigates. We cannot help being
somewhat alarmed at the subjoined intel:igence :
The following is an extract of a letter from Hali-
fax, dated May 15:

,s The American frigates President and Congress
sailed- from Boston the Ist instant, and were spoken
with on the 9th, in lat. 41 N. long. 61 W. It is con-
jectured that they were steering for the Gulf of St.
Lawrence.—The Armide frigate arrived here yester-
day, in 28 days from Cork : she parted from the
transports bound to Quebec with the 47th Regiment
and 19th Dragoons on board, under convoy of the
Sybille frigate and Cygnet sloop, on the 9th instant,
off Cape Race."
Mr. RUSSELL, late American Charge d'Affaires at
the Court of Great Britain, is appointed Ambassador
to Sweden, and has sailed with Mr. GALLATIN.
