The enemy lost 400 killed on the ground. I have not

MONI REAL, NOVEMBER 0. •

The camrtign has terminated most bolonrably 'cc
the British arms 4nd disgracefuny to the enemy. The
contending armies bore no proportion in point of
numbers, that of the Americans W.IS at rirst tteblt
ours, and never less than double. This trial of vah.nr
will tench the. enemy hew fruitless it is fur him to
pollute ow happy soil.

Without saying any thing further on this thr.ic, it
is proper to say something about the Lai:Qs. It is of
the highest importance t. 3 have the command (If the
whole of them, but of Ontario in particular. Sir J.
Warren, by exercising his activity and talent:,
succeeded in driving the enemy's Meet into port, and
has thereby been one of the chief institiments in re-
lieving the Niagara territory horn a birbar..os and
unrelenting foe, whose cruelties have equAled !hose
of the Huns and Vandal,. In tint se days of civiliza-
tion it would be an Insult on the memory of Atila to
compare General Brown's conduct with that of the
barbarian.

Now, with anxiety, our rallant ard esteemed Com-
mander has at last perf)rmed all he calculated upon
this action ; ►.iut be must still continue on the alert.
It is said the American Commodore has laid down
two*more 74 gun ships at Sacketi's Harbour, to be
ready in the Spring. Without an equal addition to
our squadron at the same time, the enemy will be
superior, as our present force does not surpass his,

American Jourriais.

Saturday morning Vice• Admiral Sir Rictratto

'Newfoundland, arrived at • Portstnrmth, from St.
John's, in the BBLLEKOPIIOY, 71, Captain lla wimp
.after a good passatft of 16 days. The HANtAntivan,
38, Captain CIIETRAM, was to sail on the 27th Witt,
a convoy for England, and the floaArto, Captain
DILLON, on the same day, with a convoy for the
ports of PortugaL The Citocontte, Captain ELLI-n,
had left St..lobn's with a convoy for Lisbon. The
CIAXE, VA Captain FALCON/ which took under her
protection the last convoy fran England (for the sea-
son) had arrived out safe, and, in consequence of it
being reported that the Constitution was at sea, had
sailed again, to strengthen the Crt:,c-• on.e's convoy.
The Crave will continue on the Lisbon station during
the winter.

The GALATEA, Captain LOSACK, and M"DINA,
Captain Bounemert, had Forte to the West Inthes
with convoys. Tile latter was to return to winter
whit the Dents. r, Captain WILLIAMS, at St. John's;
the HARLECMLN and Piceee 'schooners were to winter
in the Bey of Bulls. The BELLE:1011110N Sp 'ke a
small ves'el bound to France, on beard which was
Lord COURTNEY, who has been for some years an ab-
Antee from England. His I.nrdship's hi id report
of the effects of the war urn the American pt %plc
(among whom he ha hl been liv:ng) was, that the
lower classes had net sensibly !eit it in any degree,
Lut that the mercantile began to murmur.
Advices have been received learn Bermuda. dated
the 3d of December. The MELPOMENE and MADA.•
easeeti. frigates had just arrived at that island in six
(bye from the Chesapeake. They brought a number
of sick marines, belong..i4 to the battalion which was
landed on Kent Island, that spot having proved vet y
destructive to the health of our men. The k3AvAtt.
NMI and HEBRLS were the only ships remaining in
the Chesapeake; the war having, from the stverity
of the weather, been transferred from the Northern
to the Southern parts of the American shores. The
Constellation frigate was waiting in the Chesapeake
for men, to enable her to proceed on a crnize. The
best part of the American seamen having been some
time sent to the Lakes, their frigates had, in conse-
quence, not been able to put to sea. It appeared, on
the result of an unsuccessfnl attack, lately made by a
part of the Crew of the Constellation, in her boats
.tad tender, on the boats of our ships in the Chesa-
peake, that nearly all the prisoners taken in the ten-
der were Swedes and other seamen fr:nn the North
of Europe. When Boston and New York were last
reconnoitred, the Constitution and President Lad
not sailed ; but they were both ready. At ehr
departure of the AmettioN from Bermuda, the SE-.
vr;KN•was on the pint of sailing for New Orleans ;
the EURTALLS and Meeetaus had gone.
The Settee ISK, MADAGASCAR, MELPOMENE and GA•
S TMEDE were refitting : the WOLVERZNiti Captain
BURTON, had gone to toe West Indies with a convey.
The troops which lefeEnglaed in September, in the
LIEDPORD, NORGE, Atcespe, BELLE POOLE, HYDRA,
Doyen, BOCEPIIALUSi and Gonnest, under Major Ge-
neral KEAN, had passed Bermuda, prior to the 9,..1 of
December, and they were followed by Admital
Cot:Keens, in the Acme, of 74 guns, on the 27tli ;
the PORTIA sloop only accompanied him from Ber-
muda. This force, with that which the late General
Roes commanded, it is understood, is to proceed
against New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston.—
'rhe public property at these places is very great : our
Officers were very sanguine of success. Sir A Lie:NAN• 1
DER COCII ANE and Admiral MALCOLM were with the
Loops which were employed in the Chesapeake.
We announced list week the arrival of the RAT•
TLIIR, Captain BOURNE, at Portsmouth, from Hali-
fax, whence she sailed on the 48th, and from Canso
on the 30th November, with twenty sail of transports,
all of which separated in bad weather. The Remelt
pissed the CEYLON, areas relate, in the Gut of Canso,
having on board General id-OmK, who was proceed-
h.g to take the command of the troops that were
serving afloat on the American coast, in the room of
the late General IR -.o3%.•••••[Sir EDWARD PA KUNZ' AM,
it will be remembered, has lett England some time,
in the STATIRAO for this command.]—Colonel WIL-
LIAM, and the Staff of the battalion of Marines which
was in Canada, were likewise in the CriLaN, going to
the Chesapeake. All the ships of war had been with-
drawn, from Quebec, as had the volunteer seamen
from the Lakes, belonging to the transports and other
vessels in the River. The transports which sailed
lth the Ren-reeit were manned by these tine fellows.
The naval services upon the Lakes had entirely
closed ; the ships were laid up in the harbours. The
kerreze.left at Halifax the Serena, 74, Hon. Rear-
Admiral HOTHANI, who (his ship having been re-
thted) was about to sail to resume his command off
New London, with two vessels which had been fitted
out as fireships ; they were intended, the moment a
chance of success should offer, to be sent against the
American steam frigate Fulton the First, which has
been lately built and launched Neve York,
