FROM THE FRONTIER.
,s
From Sackett's Harbour we learn, that the Bets&
squadron had eluded Chauncey's vigilance, and got.
into Kingston. The. Commodore had been in port,
• and sailed again early on Saturday morning. From
Buffalo we have a letter, dated' the 17th : it states,`
that on the 14th Major Chapin, with about thirty
volunteers, went, to Point-Abino, on the • British. side
of Lake Erie, where they landed and continued the
Oity
whole day, making tik7rkidns into the country several
miles: They brought ftf barrels of flour, and a
bale of blankets, belon.gtngtioAe British Government.
Colonel Dawson, Aide-&4.ainpto General Wilkin-
sont.had been at Buffqii antlkettl a Secret Cobncil
with, the Indians, and it wartiaslevitood that the In-
dians had agreed to crotki4gain into Canada, to aid
our army in a general attackikaon the enemy, which
it was expected would take ptitte.soen, as every thing
seemed to warrant such a donclesion.
• NEW YORK, SErtglaiTht" .
We learn, by a Gentledtan who 'arrived here yes-
terday, in the steam-boat, that rill. SaturdaY the 18th,
Commodore Chauncey, with' Milker, leg Sackett's.
Harbour with about forty open boats, ancf on Monday
afternoon he passed Pultneyville. We (9rther learn,:
that all our cannon had been brotighover to the
American side from Fort George - and, it was re-
ported at Canandaigna, on Wednesday the' d,. that
the American troops bad all left Fort GeOrge, and
had arrived at Fort Niagara. It was supposed the
whole of the American fOrce was destined for King-
ston. Six sloops from New York, foul of troops, had
arrived at Greenbush, and were still on board die
sloops as late as nine o'clock on'Tuesday morning.
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 2.
[LATZST 'FROM NEW LONDON.]
Captain Burrows, of the sloop Fox, in twenty-four
hours from New Londons informs, that Commodore
Decatur's squadron had not removed from their an)
chorage, six miles above the city. Of courfe, the
rumour of last evening, that ,the Commod ,re had
brought the frigates down to New London, was, like
most of the rumours of the day, altogether incorrect.
Captain Burrows also informs us, that at three o'clock
yesterday morning he passed the Valiant, 74, and two
brigs, at anchor off New London light-house. He
passed also the Acasta and Atalante, off Black Point..
—On Wednesday a small sloop from the eastward
was captured by a British tender, off New London ;
• and, on Saturday last, a schooner and a sloop were
ca,- :wed and burnt. The Diana and Jane, from
Buenos Ayres to Greenock, and two other vessels,
have been captured by the United States frigate Con-
gress, and destroyed, except the Diana, which was
given up, after being partly dismantled, and having
some of her cargo thrown overboard.
EVACUATION OF FORT GEORGE.

A letter received in town yesterday, by the Editors
dated Canandaigiie, September '22, mentions that a
convoy of transports had sailed from Niagara, to take
on bo.,rd troops at Fort George. It is probable they
are destined io co-operate in an attack upon Kingston.

HALIFAX PAPERS.
PRINCE Euwa RD IsLawo, Oct. 2.—lt is with regret
we learn, that his Majesty's brig Bold, Capt. Skekil,
Commander, was ''riven on shore by a strong north-
east gale, near the North Cape of this island, on
Monday morning last, between the hours of duce and
four o'clock. The Commander and Surgeon arrived
at this place on "rhursday, by whom we arc informed*
that the officers and crew, to the number of 67, were
with much difficulty saved, but it is feared that the
vessel would be entirely lost. The Agnes transport
that arrived on Sunday last with ordnance stores for
this garrison, is ordered round to her assistance, and
his Lxcellency .Lieutenant Governor Smith has also
given instructions for procuring ,the best assistance
from the town, and the neighbouring settlements, to
get the vessel off, if practicable, or, if not, .to save
sileh of her stores as the circumstances of her situa-
tion may afford.
Stlii-L3uRNE, OCTOBER 10.—A contrary wind has
efiven into this harbour the American privateer
scf.oomr Portsmouth Packet, of six guns and forty
men, (late the celebrated Liverpool Packet), captur-
ed on the sth inst. by his Majesty's brig Fantome,
Captain Lawrence, off Mount Desert, and ordered
for Halifax. Mich praise is due to Capt. Lawrence
!Cy this capture, for his judicious manoeuvres in de-
coying this singularly mischievous vessel, thereby
relieving the mercantile interest from an enemy, as
formidable by her great qualities; of sailing, &c. as
any privateer ever yet sent to sea.

at. Stirlington, it is said, have made considerable
imiTiem,:nts for the week past ; their numbers have
been augmented by a regiment sent on front Green-
bush, and reports say they have crossed over from
Burlington to •Plattsburg ab .ut '2OOO men. The
American officers are said to speak positively of tak-
ing _Montreal for winter quarters. The American
piquet guard taken at Fort George on the 24th ult.
arrived here on Wednesday. At the end nflast week
the American regular troops at f,turlington consisted
of 61100 effective n.ei ; a regimenr was sent to Platts-_
burgh, and the whole were in motion to menace this
province. They speak positively of attacking Isle
auk N.oix. The number of British ;prisoners in
Greenbush was not three hundred, including officers.
This intelligence we have from theasest authority.—
