Fhurlow Weed. Esq.-Dear Sir Heavy
hiring having been heard here for four hours
past, great anxiety has been felt in refer.
ence to the expected battle at Navy Island.
The cars have just come up, by which we
learn that the royalsts commenced ire
mendous fire upon the Island from the main
shore, at one o'clock this afternoon They
have sixteen pieces Of arlilley and several
mortars, all of which are in the most active
operation. The force is about 1000 militia,
200 regulars, and $50 lndinns-the latter
mostly arrived last night in canoes, from
above. With these, and the assistance of
the Steamboat Thames aud their schooners
lying at Black Creek. two miles above the
Island, it is expected they will attack The
Patriots tonight, and God knows what NAV
be the result A great loss of life will en-.
sue, at any rate, as the Patriots are pretty
well prepared, and the Island itself is al.
most impregnabe. The Patriot force is
about 1000 10 1900, as near as we can learn,
