severe battle had been fought on the
Niagara frontier on the sth inst. be
tween a small body of gur brave
troops; under the coipmand of'Gen. s
Riall, atnd an Americaaarmy of sooq
nten, which had landed in the neigh
borhood of Fort Erie ; the
of our officers and men, in this un
equal contest, was highly conspicu-
bnt they-were under the necelf
sity of tetreating from such an im- .
mense disparity of numbers, to Chip
pewa, and we regret to find vwith
considerable loss. The, movements
of the enemy for these some weeks
past have strongly indicated. (ar;we/
have previously thjrt the*’
Niagara fAuttier would be the scene
of his operations, .consequently; wp
are; not surprised at this attempt to
gain a footing on our side ; but 4we
must confess that we wore disappoint
