Col. Porter of the light Artillery, to Major
Armistead OF the Sd regt. Of artillery, and
to Lieut.. Iotten of the engineer corps, for
their iudicious and skilful execution in de-
molishing the enemys fort and batteries.-
The officers of the artillery generally, who
had the direction Of the guns, are very de-
serving.
have the honor to be, &c.

CANANDAIcUA, Thursday evening, !

Information mas OeeT-refe1ved from the
frontier, which does not apnear so favora-
BILE as that before received. Gems. Winder
and Chandler have proceeded to the 40
mile creek, where the fugitives from Fort
George have retreated, and where il is said
Proctor and his force, with 1OO0 Indians.
had joined them. Reports of the surprize
of our two generals, and of the CAPT ure of
some men, are in circulation rumor also
makes our army victorious in a subsequent
engagement. These however are rumours
which cannot be credited; what follows is
more plain.
On Monday last a fleet of about 8 sail of
enemy's vessels were seen making their way
towards the head of the lake, near which
place the troops under Vincent and Proctor
are stationed-lt was not known whether
they had on board troops or not. On Tues
day morning a severe ca%nnonading was
heard in that direction, and on Tuesday
evening an express from Fort George ar
rived at Fort Erie, ordering Col. Preston to
march with all his force to reinforce Win
der, &c. The officer who came express did
not mention any thing respecting the en-
counter OF the morning, nor was it known
at Erie what had been the result. Tile a
bove may be relied on. Ipformation of a
very interesting nature man be expected
next stage f; as it IS almost certain that an
enc wi has takenplaceAOnit much will
depend-A defeat will probably cause the
evacuation OF Canada.
We are sorry to state, On information by

place he left on Thursday last that Colonel
Backus died of his wounds on Monday, and
