tant, if true:-
Intelligence has been received in town
this morning, of another attempt on the
part of the Pirates. to effect a landing in
Canudn. On Monday evening last, while
Col Kirby was walking along shore, from
Fort Erie Barracks towards Point Abno,
he observed s,me persons approaching hm,
on The ice. lie Immediately returned TO
the barracks, and having got his men under
arms, they marched against the invaders,
who turned about and retreotcd.
About fourteen sleighs came out from
their hiding place in the woodss when they
saw the Others tetreatlng and followed
them very quickly. Col Kirby ordered
his men to fire upon them, but with what
fleet we have not heard. 1t is Supposed
that the intention Of the party was to ap,
ptonch the garrison during be night, and
fire it.
