The cannon belonging to the U. S. have

Thus far the dispatch of our cores
pondent. We give below such addition
al inform ,tion as we have subsequently
learned.
1t is believed that the larger portion
of Van Rensselaer's army have landed
on the adjacent parts Of Grand Island,
having previously sent across the mus
kets, &c. belonging TO the state, which
were committed to The custody Of Col.
Ayres. The further movements of the
disbanded force are left to conjecture.
Our messenger passed Schlosser from
the Falls, at hall past 8. AS he approach
ed Tonawanda, the steamboat Barcelo-
ma was putting on steam at Whitehavcn.
But when he arrived opposite, she had
left, in what direction he could not tell.
A boat from the Canada side lay out
in the river opposite Navy Island, early
this morning, on her oars, apparently re-
connoItering, for about half an hour.
Two Schooners with British flags fly
ing, were lying about one mile below
low Waterloo, which were observed by
the sentries below Black Rock, to have
made their way up from below, early
this morning. Another is lying at Wa
teroo. They are undoubtedly those
which have been at Black Creek, just
above Chippewa, for some week or more.
The object of their new mission can on
ly be surmised. Buff. Pat

report may be confirmed.
GLORIOUS NEWS, FOR THE
PATRIOT CAUSE!
We have just received intelligence by
Canadian Lieutenant, of the Patriot ar
my, in the vicinity of Detroit, that in
telligence arrived by express from Nc
Kenzie, dated head quarters, Chippewa,
Upper Canada, which reached the army
on Thursday, the 18th inst. and was read
on parade in presence of Gen. Handy's
command, on the morning of the same
day, giving intelligence that the British
made an attack upon Navy Island on
Friday morning, before daylight, with
l3field pieces and 1900 men, who were
repulscd by Gen. Van Rensselaer, with
a force, OF 1000. At daylight the Brit
ish attempted to land with small boats,
under cover of their cannon. Two Of
the British boats were sunk, with about
800 men, upon which the Royalists beat
up retreat, and were Immediately fol-
lowed by the Patriot army, conveyed
by a steamboat and other small boats,
under cover of % pieces Of artillery
That seven hundred of the Royalists
were killed, and about 800 made prison.
ers. 100 of the tories only escaped.
The notorious McNab attempted to es-
cape, but was taken by Van Rensselaer,
and his aid. Three thosand of the pat
riot army, under Gen. Townsend, pro-
ceeded to Toronto, and took possession
Of the city without firing gun.
The British troops were forthwith dis
banded, and $500 in all joined the patri-
OF army. A large force is now on the
march 10 the London district, when they
will release the patriots now in prison.
One entire company Of the Patriots
which followed the retreat of the Roy
alists and made the first attack, were
slain, amounting to 2lS.

ANOTHER STEAMBoAT.-Our citizens seem
determined, in spite of the pressure of the
times, and the universal stagnation ofbusiness.
to keep pace with the spirit of improvement
which SO eminently characterizes the age in
which we live. A new steamboat to be called
the "Chesapeake," is building at the lower
end of the town, and is rapidly progressing
to completion, under the superintendent of
Capt. Jones, veteran Lake architect. Her
length is l66 feet, with breadth of beam of
twenty-five. Her model combines all the late
valuable improvements which have been dis
covered in naval architecture, presenting that
upright, wedge like form in her bows, which
experience has shown to be the best fitted for
cleaving the waters of our inland seas, and
that lean rotundity of stern which will ensure
the least possible wake in her track. She is
to be propelled by low-pressure engine, ma
nufactured at Montreal, of great power, and
Of the finest workmanship. AS she stands,
she is decidedly the best specimen of ship
carpentry we have ever seen, and we believe,
that no one can view her elegant form, the
strength with which her tmbers are knitted
together, and the size and workmanship Of
her engine, without being convinced that she
will take high stand, even among the float
ing palaces of Lake Erie. She is to be COM
manded by Capt. d. Howe, late of the steam
boat New-York, an able and experienced
captain, and good seaman. to- bid

perhaps too willing, but he never came

vowed she would marry Bill Patterson,

his claim; but he was scurvy fellow
in some things, and neither nam nor
dad was willing it. So he secretly
goes to R. gets a licence, and that night
they made off for G'etna Squire. In
their road to happiness, however, who
should they meet but Bill Sykesl He
had got an inkling of what was going
on, and, when he met them, he under

The old Squire did not SO we'll under-

Ben said he did not himself understand
law squibbles, but this he did know,
that unless he did it,shc (tlle Squire)

enough for Moody, who, without more
ado, pronounced them man and wife.

From the Buffalo Patriot, Jan. l2.

Gov. Marcy, and Maj. Gen. Scott, of
the United States Army, arrived in this
city about l2 O'Clock last night. Gen.
Scott has, we understand, been ordered
here to take command of the militia and
other forces which are, or may be CON
centrated on this frontier, for the pur-
pose of enforcing orr own laws, and full
filliugin good faith the treaty slipula-
tions Of our government with that of
Great Britain, ~ le
Thea Governor, we understand, will
order into service so many of our patri-
otic militia, as Gen. Scott may require,
and.the latter officer, we presume, is full
ly instructed as TO the course which the
honor and, interest of the nation require
the general government topursue. From
the high standing and known ability Of
Gen. Scott we doubt not that all orders
ofhis will be promptly, efficiently and
exactly executed. e9
What measures will be taken to re-
cover the property. Of the State now on
Navy Island, remains to be seen, but we
apprebend his Excellencv will hardly
permit3O thousand dollars worth ofthe
state property to be lost past recovery.
We take the following from the let

exists between the British Minister and
