CONFIRMATION.
Extract Of a letter from an d6irer IN tie
army, dated Bufaloe, fully 90.

Ertrdct Of a letter from, an differ IN tie
army, dated BaGaloe, tJuiy "a.
Yesterday evening Gen. Brown fought
a hard fight. The best accounts say the
reinforcement of Gen. Drummond made il
a fight to be regretted-terribIe indeed the
slaughter. Gen. Rial and aids, and one Of
Gen. DIS aids, are taAen prisoners, and Will
be here to night. Generals Brown and
Scott wounded-not dangerous they are
with the army, on their way I'd Erie Fort.
Many brave fellows are laid low. and will
live forever in story. The army advanced
d small distance to-day-looked on the bat
tie g~round-the enemy were on the heights.
We could not advance. We burnt the
bridge at Chippewa and have retired
P@erverse have been the winds, SO that
MArthur's men could no, get down, as all
the transports are here, and the wind is
west. 2000 men would be invaluable and
it is feared the enemy will be here sooner
than we wish. l hope tits not SO. They
have never been harder fought, and | sus-
pect feel too sore to move Immediately up
on us"
Copy of a letter from Capt. Austin, aid to
General Brown, to Nathan Williams,
Esq. of Utica, dated
july eth. Buffalo.
] am desired by Gen. Brown to inform
you that on the 18th inst. the concentrated
forces of Upper Canada, under Major GEN
Rail and Lieut.. Gen. Drummond, were
met by our troops near the Falls ofNiagara,
and a long, desperate and ~sanguinary en-
gagement took place. Our army having
drove them from every position which they
kept possession ofthe ground for more than
three hours, retired to camp in good order,
aud without being disturbed by them. Gen.
Brown received severe wounds, and is now
confined by them, His aid captain Spen-

NJ w 1889 M
On the morning ofthe 4th of July, the
British Indians who had filed The woods
contiguous to the American encampment
commenced firing at our piquets. Recon
noitering parties from Chippewa were fire.
~quently observed during the day, along the
river road and information was received
that reintorcements had arrived.
On the 9Th, the same course was pursued.
The lndiaus were discovered almost in the
rear Of our camp. AT this moment Gen.
Porter arrived with his Volunteers and In.
d1an@s sTa9a Bsovn itmmediately directed
them to enter the woods and e~llectua!ly
scour them. Gems Brown, Scott and Rip
ley were at the white house marked, re.
connoitering. Gen. Porter's corps seemed
sweeping like a torrent every thing before
them until they almost debouched from the
woods opposite Chippewa. At that mo-
ment a volley of musketry, convinced gen
eral Brown that the whole British force had
crossed the Chippewa bridge, and that the
action must become general. lie gave i'm
mediate orders TO Gen. Scott to advance
and feel the enemy, and to Gen. Ripley to
be in readiness to support. In a few mi
nutesthe British line was discovered formed
and rapidly advancing-their right (the
Royal Scots upon the woods, and the left
Che Prince Regent's) On the river, with
the Kings own for their reserve. Their OBJ
ject was to gain the bridge across the Creek
in front of our encampsnent. which if done,
would have compelled US to retire. Gen.
Brown fearing a flank movement of the
enemy through the woods on the left of our
camp, with a view to seize our reserve of
artillery, directed General Ripley not to
advance until he gave him orders. AT the
same time he rode to the first line with his
staff and an escort of 80 dragons, in order
to direct the whole movements OF the field,
and animate the troops By his presence
Meanwhile Gen. Scott, under most ire
mendous fire of the enemy 5 artillery, eros
sed the bridge, which the enemy had en-
deavored to gain, and formed his line
The enemy's orders were to give one volley
at a distance, and Immediately change
But such was the warmth Of our musketry
that they could not stand it. At this mo
ment General Brown sent orders to Gen.
Ripley TO make a movement through the
woods upon the enemy's right flank
With the 2lst regiment he passed a ravine
IN his front where the men had to wade up
to their chins, and advance as rapidly as
possible. But before he commenced filing
from the woods into the open land under the
enemy's batteries, they had been complete
ly broken by the cool bravery and discip
line of Gen. SCOTS brigade, and precipitat-
ed themselves across the Chippewa bridge,
which they broke down in their retreat
Too much praise canno be given to Gen.
Scott and his brigade. Col Campbell was
wounded in an early part of the action
Gen. Porter and his volunteers and Indians
behaved with great GOODNESS and intrepid
ty.
