J ‘ I have but just to inform you
! that a most sanguinaiy battle) was
. fought Oli the* evening of the fsth
Inst, near Chippewa, irtaj. gen. Drurw
mond came up with a large rein
forcement from Kingston, and imme
diately moved up against our army
‘yith a force neafly double our num
bers. r I he battle commenced about
t o’clock in the evening, and contin
ued until I_l at night. Our army
behaved most to
desperation—but the eneniy were too
numerous for theid. The whole, of
the enemies artillery was\ twice ta
ken and retaken. The slaughter on
both sides was
brigade was almost annihilated ; but
one field officer in the Wijplfls brigade
escaped death or severe wounds.
Gen. Brown and Gen. Scott were
both Severely . wounded. One of
Gen. Brown's aids vwas mortally
wounded, and both of Gen. Scott’s
severely. x M*jor MRarlarid of the
first is killed* Cal. Brady, Majors
McNeil, <>Leven Worth, Brooke 8c Jes
sup aud many other worthy officers
wounded. It is impossible,, to -say
what is the full extent of our loss.
A smal proportion of our wounded
fell into the hands of the enemy ; be
sjdea I fear some prisoners. The
enemy were so severely cul<to„pieces
Uiat they did not pursue our army.
• Several most brilliant charges were
. made by gpn. Scotpi brigade. The
enemies lines completely broken, Sc*-
upwards 6F 200 prisoners made, a

a plot, formed originally by a cabal
of 4 or 5 ihdviduals in this city,/ the
object of whiclTis to disorganize the

From o late Canadian paper,
EXTRAORDINARY EHfifelOME-
X NON.
We have been favoured with the
following account from a gentleman,
who came passenger in the William
Heathcote, transport from Ncvvfound*
dand : ‘ .
On the Ski’ inst. (being off Cape
C hat J the sun assumed a very high ‘
blood colour ; and, at half two,
a total darkness, ensued. This con
tinued till about” suri set ; Wberi the
/horizon somewhat cleared, but at
Vnine q'clock it became so dark tliui
ut \yas impossible to observe any ob
ject, however near* without the help
of lanterns. The ship laid too till
two A. lil. when the obscurity dis
appeared. • ,
It was a singular) and at the sivme
time novel sight, to nonce the sail
ors and soldiers, at tdid-day, having
to to distinguish
their pqddings and meat out of tfie
cabouse j and not less so fbr the
officers to be seated at their early
dinner by candlelight.
It is difficult tq icceoutU for this
phenomenon, as it was not observed
beyond 16 leagues on cither side of
the spot where the - ship stood-—For
three days previous some ashes, and
smoke had been observed, but oq the
2d ho syrmpms of burnt, wood Was
felt. It may be presumed * hat somjC
.volcanic eruption ftps tafcqn place in
k;a South/Eaj&tejly dii , ectipn, which/
. caused a Vp a breadth’
of about fifteen leagues, from each
side of Cape Chat.

‘Front, the ‘fehyvcplt, ( afederal paper,)
If there is arl Ji m eric an who “can
rtfad the following extract fropl. a
speech delivered the English house
of common's, without fueling a glow
of reverence lor our naval heroes, he
must possess feelings very different
from opr’s. The Orator, Mr: Wynne
is reprobating the part which the
nation !s bqurid to sbt in blockading
the /coast of Norway;.
M. Here would,*’ says be,/’ u be a
chafifiipg&sryice, on which to send
a lorfii. Nelsoh.— -(Hear )-±X\ might
be said that first rate ships would not
be employed in this honorable war fate.
Perhaps then, captain Broke, and his
gallant crew, who had humbled the
pride of the Americsjh navy, in fifteen
minutes, and forced the/ Chesapeake
tq strike to his superior skill and
bravery, wbuld sent to assist in
starving an independent, Free and
gallant nation into submission
slavery ; a glorious reward for such
an officer ; and .pleasant employment
for the naval force of, England.
“( Hear hear,'JP*’ .
Now What has captain Broke done
i to entitle him to the honor of being men
tioned directly after Nelson, that terror,
of the ocean P He has taken ode Amer
ican ‘frigate j What a reluctant com
pliment is this tb the gallantry of our -
naval officers ! The American navy
apd its p* ; de. are spoken of with as
much gravity* as if it was equal 4ks ’
number to that of our enemy.
They havp now taken another Atticr«
’ icah frigate in the course of a war,
which, has lasted two years*and with
such a formidable blockading fleet.
Bdt ic remains for our countrymen
properly to appreciate bravery and
skill so competent oy such slender
means to coerce respect fr6m our
enemies. To this captain Porter hrts
jjall thfe claims of bravery enforced by
* misfortune; JLetit now be shown,
that a brave and gallant man, wheth
er >n prosperity or z^lvcrsity, in vie
lory or defeat, is still dear to the
minds of ins cduntrymen, and more
so on account ot ntiSfortUhe&^
