(fi : ? .., .Gtir position on the margin of the Lake at the entrance of the Niagara River, being nearly a horizontal plain*, twelve arid fifteen feet above the surface of the water, possessing few natural advantages, had been strengthen ed in front by temporary parapet,breastworks, entrenchments, abattis, with, two ban cries and ‘six field pieces- The small unfinished Fort, Eric, with 24, Id and 12 pounders, forms the North East, and the Douglass battery with an 11 and 6 pounder near the edge of the Lake, the Southeast angle of oyr .fright. The left is defended by the redoubt battery with six field pieces just thrown up on a small ridge. Our rear was left open to the take, bordered b> a rocky shore of easy accent, « The battery op the left was defended h\ capt. ‘ Towaon ; Fort Erie by capt. Jvith Ma.j.

At 6 P. M. I ) one of their shells todged in a rgagazi'ne in: Fort Erie, avhigh was foi-mootefy almostemp- j * iy. It bletf |jjjp with an explosion more aw furt in appeuriUcc than injurious in. its effects, as it did no s disable a man or deiange a gun « It occasioned a momentary cessation of the thunders of? the artillery on both sides; it was followed’ by a loud and joyous shout. . by the British army, which was instantly returned on our part, and captain Williams amidst the smoke of the explosion renewed the contest by an Animated row oFhia heavy can non. ‘ From the sopjmsed loss of oarammunidop, j and the depression such an event %va.n likely to produce upon the minds of our men, I felt persuaded this explosion would lead 1 the enemy to assault, and made my arrangement's accor dingly. The annexed paper No. 1, is a copy of Lieut Qen, Drummond a order and plan of attack. The night was dark, and the early parr of jit coining,hut the faithful, remind slept not j one third of thetroops were tip at their pests. ■;* At half past 2 o’clock, the tight column oftfce* enemy approached, and though? enveloped in , darkness, fblack as his designs and principles, was distinctly left and promptly marked by our musketry under Majbr Wood, and cannon under Capt. Towson Being mounted at the moment, I repaired ro the point of attack where the sheet of fire rolling from Tow son’s battery and the .musketry of the left wing of the 21st infantry under Major Wood, enabled me to see the enemy’s column ‘of ah Hit- 1500 men.approaching on that point; his advance was not checked un ij it had ap proached within ten feet of qur infantry. A line of loose brush representing an abattis ohlv intervened ; a^column of the enemy attempted to pass round the abattis thro*the water where h was nearly breast deep Apprehending that this point wotM be carried, I ordered a detach ment of riflemen aod infantry to its- support; t but, having fret with the gallant commander, Majpr Wood was assured by him that he could defend his position without reinforcements; At this moment the enemy were repulsed, but instantly renewed the charge, and were again repulsed. My attention was now called to the fight,, where our batteries and. lines were soon lighted by a most brilliant fire of cannon and musketry ; it announced the approach of ‘the centre and left columns of the enemy, under Colonels-Drummond and Scott; the iatt<yv was received by the veteran 9th, under tht > command of < Capt. Foster,* and Captains Boughtbu and Harding 5 * companies of New- York dnu Fennsylvania yriumcera, aided by ’ s 6 pounder Judiciously posted by Major vTKee, chief engineer, who was most active and Useful at point; they were repulsed, r That of the centre led by . Col Drummond, wasnotloog kept in check ; approached at/ once every assailable point of the Fort, and with sealing ladders ascended the pan net, but was repulsed with dreadful carnage. The as sault'was twice repeated, and as often*check-’ ed. but the enemy having movedround in the ditch covered by darkness, added to the heavy cloud ofsmoke which had rolled from our can non and musketry, enveloping surrounding objects, repeated the charge, re-ascended the ladders ; their ptkes, bayonets, and spears, fell upon our gallant’artillerists of our favorite Captain Williams «nd Lieuteeaivt M’Don ough and Wa.-piough, with .their hra*fct men were overcome- The two former and several of their men, received deadly wounds, Oer bastion* was lost Lieutenant Mc’Donough being Severely Wounded? demanded, quarters. a* l * 2 «» gateway to ihor assistant*, and wirhe some mCrmry charged and the Captain severely wojift&d.

The cha.rge.was gal'anriy made by Captain Foncr and Major Hath but owing to the narrow ness of the passage tip to the bastion admitting •only two or three men abreast it failed- It Was tiften repealed and as bfte» checked The enemy's force in the bastion was, howev er, much cut to pieces and dimmish ed by our v-artillery and small arms fCt this mofftem every operation was arrested by the espiodon •ot some cartridges deposited >n the end 4 of the stone building adjoining toe contested bastion.
