On the 12th tfife whole army moved down the ri ver as far as Black Creek, h On the 13th reached Chippewa Plains.— Here, except sonic Indian firing on our.flanks, we met with the first re- > sibtance. i'he enemy played upon v | ii“ wT'hput exciting the return of a ‘ shot until the artillery came up which soon compelled them to Re tire to their works behind the Chip pewa. On the 14th we cannonaded them from I*2 o’clock ‘until sun set without oeing able to effect a pass of t y creek. v--Our loss this day was iOur men killed,.that of the British whs considerable- We then retired <S our encampment, five miles in ■-tit tear.

Here Basset was attacked by a greatly superior-farce ‘which he, af ter a severe conflict of half an hour, pot to rout and pursued *o closely that he passed* with them oyer tire bridge which they had not time to destroy. Izard immediately moved up with, the whole army cross ed *4eavin* all his behind, and advanced to the attack of the en emy’s lines with grefcfc impetuosity. At this ’uiicture I waS ordered -off with a convoy of wounded, and to hasten on some supplies from this place. .The result of this engage ment, I cannot therefore inform you of. In Bisnels’ affair it is haul we Inst 20 or 3a men, \nd the enemy 2 or 300 killed and prisoners, but from the length and fierceness of the action, I should think the loss on both sides must have been grea ter. Col. Clinch is here. By a person direct from Fort War burton; on Saturday last, we are in formed that the additional works to 4bt old fort (undef the direction of the Engineer Major L’Enfaiitj are progressing with unusual vigor and effect—some of the * batteries begin ning to shew their positions and u tilityv The foundation, digging and placing the stone and other various building materials, has been a labor ious and yet progressing work, which could not have been effected but frpm the material aid and patriotic volunteering labor given to it by par ties of artists and other citizens of Alexandria, who have peculiarly dis . tiiigurshed themselves in aid there ; off for besides the donation % the Coiboration, of from 30 to 50 cou sla> t day laborers from its com mei cement, the different wards of thai town have every other day for son s’ time past, two da\, labor of fifty, sixty and seventy at | time, relieving themselves by others, even distinguished citizens, att|e spade and wheelbarrow.
