IRO4 A GENTLILMAIT AT DV77ALOT.

W Buffalo*, Allyn 15.
ig A most brilliant affair has covered our arms with
glory ! This morning, between one and two o'clock,
the enemy made an assault on Fort Erie and en-'
trenchments at Erie; and were most signally tlcEated,
with immense loss. A simultaneous attack was model
on our right and left flanks; the former of which was
formed by Fort Erie, and entrenchments drawn in
continuation of the north-eastern flunk of it ; the latter
by a strong redoubt. At the latter place the enemy
approached with bayonets charged, and guns without
flints, nearly surrounded the ptcquet, and. pursued
them so cicssaly as to enter through the abbatis with
them, and got in the rear of the redoubt (where an
18-pounder, two sixes, and a five one-half inch howit-
were placed), before a complete discharge Could
be made from them, which our .men were cotnpelled
to do, without paying any attention to the picquet.
" Their scallig ladders were too short, and de-
struction was dealt an every side amongst them. On
the right flank, they mounted the bastion, whose
height they knew,by.”44e,.nlatained possession of
it, the Lieutenant commlnding.it being killed. Here
was kept up a most vistid and spirited fire. From
the opposite bastions our. artillery fired into the magi.
sine beneath it, which exploded at a time when kw
hundred cf the enemy were upon it, and totally destroyed
them. They were routed completely.
" Their loss from 600 to 1000 killed, wounded,
and prisoners—of the two latter nearly 300. Six de-
serters have come in this morning, who estimate their
1045 at 100 a.—It cannot be less. Oar's does not pro-
bably exceed 30. Ten'only have as yet been ascer-
tained to have been killed. the ground is ctrewed
with the enemy's dead. Colonel Drummond, cou-
sin to the General, is killed. Two Majors said to be
taken prisoners.
"I'. S. The explosion was accidental. The artil-
lery, as they retreated, threw their matches under the
platfi,rm, which remained burning several minutes, and
extruded as the Bt itith covered it:"

w.lrd of Point Lookout. Yesterday evening Achill.
rat 0 churn Lft St. George's Island, accompanied
by all the fleet except three frigates, and anchored in
company with the squadron lying off the Point. This
morning, at day-light, I discovered the fleet had been
re-inforced during the night; by tiiirty'sail from below,
viz. six double-deckers, eight frigates, five ships, appa-
rently transports, one gun brig, and nine schooners,
making the whole force 26 ships, two gun-brigs, and
18 schooners.; in all 46 sail, including vesscls•of all
descriptions, exclusive of the said fleet. There are
ibree frigates at anchor off St.. George's island, and
two in Patuxent river. -.

66 Destination of the fleet is, no doubt, up the Bay,
whose intention it is,w•e may suppose, to attempt the
destruction of the city of Washington or lliltimore.
'j'wo of the line of battle ships which arrived list
nifht are Admirals, one carrying a blue flag at her
Mizen; the other a red•flag at her main. The men
who landed from the enemy's small vessels, that as-
cended St. Mary's river cn Monday morning, did no
material injury that I have understood. They return-
ed to the fleet twat morning. I have the honour to be,

DUTCH MAIL.

GOTEENBURGH, SEPTEMBER 7.

The affairs of 'Norway appear now to be com-
pletely settled. Last Sunday the Deputies from Ud-
dewalla came to the Crown Prince at Uddewalla.—
The Members of the Council of State in Norway have
declared, that they will conduct the Government,
and maintain order and tranquillity, until the meet.
ing of the Diet. At the Diet, they will be the first
who will declare for Sweden. They have invited
Count Wedel Jarlsberg to join them, and there is no
doubt that Norway will obtain an advantageous Con-
stitution.

'rile enthusiasm of all ranks of the Swedes for the
Crown Prince is now at the highest pitch ; they attri-
bute the speedy and liappy termination of the war wail
Norway equally to his military talents and his wise
policy. We hear nothing here of his jaurney to the
Congress at Vienna.
