The anxiety of the public to learn the particulars of the late splendid victory over the British squadron on this lake, has inducedus to publish the following which are all that come to our knowledge. On Sunday, the ever memorable Jlth of September, the enemy’s ‘squadron was discovered about 8 o’- clock, A. M* standing up the lake with a favorable oreeze, under a press of sad. Every preparation was made by our gallant commodore to give them a wa&n and cordial re- Iccption; with his squadron at an chor he awaited their approach *-» The enemy soon made their appear ance, off Cumberland Head, and bore down for our squadron ; the e nemy’s two largest vessels taking a position to attack the / Saratoga, our flagship. The first broad side from her killed the British Cbramodore, [Downie] and her fire continued so spirited >nd well directed, that the enemy’s flag ship, the Confiance, soon after struck. At this time the whole broadside guns of the Sarato ga, next to the were com pletely unmanageable. 4 ; The ene- ; my # s biig continued her fire; Our commodoreslipped his cable and wore found ; two broadsides com pelled flic brig to follow the exam ple of the, Confiance. hi the mean time the Preble compelled one of the enemy’s brigs to strike. The other grounded on Hospital Island jdst be fore the battle ended, and was taker! possession of by some of our galhes. The enemy’s gallies, except t\Vo which were sunk* with the st ance of their oars, effected their es-, cape. The slaughter on boai’d'tiie British v fleet was immense. Tfte Confiance alone had 110 killed add wounded. Our Iqs^ v is severe; sf> men killed and wounded On board the Siratog.*. Commodore nougn himself was- three different • times knocked by the splinters and \ falling spars and blocks, bat mas es- J taped with tp flirt g injury. The loss i on either Side it is difficult and yet impossible to ascertain. v.v On the result of this most glorioiis victory comment is unnecessary.— The name? of vM‘DonoUgft, and 61 his gailaflt officers,’ will be inserted kmong those ol Decatur, Hull, Per- * fry, Bai abridge, Porter, and Jones, and like them will be held in ever lasting remembrance.
