ALBANY ARGUS EXTRA.
Wcdnesddv Morning, Sent. 10,
The following il l. { oniy intelligence fur
nished by last evenings mail, relative to
me recent engagement On Lake Ontario.
1dc@.enrer Office, Canqndaietla, Scn:. -.
NAVAL BATTLE OlN LAKE. OxTA-
kiO.-Pubhc anxiety has been so much ex-
cteri b4 the severe caunonadiGg which has
been heard from the lake, during YESTERDAY
th1t we hasten 10 lay before the readers ot
the messengec the latest accounts upon the
SUBJECT. Oar h.torma ion is derived from
TIVE eXPr-Sses whom We dispatched to tha
mouth vi Genesee River & 20 Pultneyviiie.
u appears 'hat on W nesday, the fees ap-
ytg.fr lf..h g.
sail and the British OF 8. They manoeuvred
for the wmadward nil Saturday, when Com.
Charncey 90 amed the weather gage keen
my the b'itlSh fleet between him &. the
lake snore.
Al Two p, Nj. he brought the enemy TO
an eng cement, which las.ed two hours
when m nseqnencc otthe British squadron
0el"S better Sailors they slot ahead so far
As 10 &c out u the reach Of our guns. Our
iieet pursued ill about half an hour before
sun Sc, the Pike came up with the enemy.
and passed between the Wolfe and another
vessel, with the intention of separating them
from the fleet. These vessels commenced
a fire upon the Pike, which was returned,
and the remainder of Tie enemy's ships
held BACK, until the whole of our feet came
up. when an action Of an hours continuance
again ensured, after which the enemy sailed
on and the last that was seen Of them thew
had separated from our feet, which was
stlii nPurspit, From the Lakes being ex-
jremely foggy our informant saw no more
OF them after dark.
By all accounts it appears that our feet
have had the advantage throughout. Our
informant is certain that our shot did much
more execution than the enemy. He was
IN situation to Judge, being in a skiff about
mile distance from the fleets, most OF the
tim.
The fleets were precisely in situation
where our long pieces would be most cifec-
tual.
The new schooner the Sylph, was in the
engagement. IF the enemy Go not hasten to
cake shelter in Kingston harbor, they will
inevitably be conquered. SIR James Yeo
mas taken lesson from his pupil, a little
beyond the g FIRST rudnents Of seagnanship."
Sir James sails have helped BIN more than
his guns.
From burlington, we learn that the
Toops lately at that place had all crossed
at Cumberland Head, with the exception
OF regiment of volunteers, and CORPS Of
Light Dragons. The ehemy'5 fotilIa had
come down as far as isle la Motto, but re-
tired on the approach Of our naval force.
