SPLENDID DEFENCE OF FORT
ERIE.
We take great pleasure in presenting
our readers with the following glorious and
highly interesting news from our gallant
army at Fort Erie, received last evening,
from undoubted authority -
On Sunday evening, Lieut.. Gen. Dram
mond made his disposition for storming
fort Erie. About half past 2 o'clock yes
terday morning the attack commenced from
three columns, one directed against the
fort, one against Towson's battery, and the
third moved up the river in order to force
a passage between the Fort and river. The
column that approached the Fort succeed
ed in gaining the rampant, after having
been several times repulsed when about
800 of them had gained the works and
made a stand, an explosion from some I'M
known cause, completely cleared the ram
parts Of the enemy, the most of whom
were utterly destroyed. The column that
moved to attack the south tor Towson's)
battery made desperate charges, but were
met with such irmness by our artillery and
infantry, as to be compelled to fall back
they advanced a second and third time
with great resolution, but being met with
such distinguished gallantry, they gave way
and retired. The column that marched up

In England every thing was feftivity,

What we can learn Baltimore is ell intrench-

cannon OF different sizes, of troops there are
eaough, all animated by lively courage. Ii
any thing is wanting, it is a General Not
nominal General for of these there are
az ore than sufficient. Gen. Winder, has
been unfortunate and is, besides, unpopu>

chief command among the Baltimoreans,
whatever may be his zesl and personal hra-

an army in actual combat. tits much to be
regretted that an officer of military merit,
in whom the men would have confidence,
cannot be spared for the defence of our
principal cities on the sea board. We lost
Washington for the want of skill, and live
