We have denied for several months, with great perseverance the falshcbds propagated by the - Morn ing Chronicle , relative to the illnes of sir J.

Yeo is in gopd health, and so far are the Yan kees from superiority on the Lufte. that while we read of naval trans ports tp aid the British at Niagara, we m almost the same paragraph arc informed thatChauncy has not cared fe aUempt succoring his <frtynd Brown, but lay snug in Sackeit'sHai hor, while *he latter has oecn foiled and defeated at the other end of uie Lake.; But there’-’ yet bone icr the ChrcnueUy for a gentieduhi wi>o> Jcit treal cn August, aUuroa , it that general Brow n claims a drawn | battle on the 25th, and about the of August Chauucey sailed 11 W C have out* hopes too. It will further be seen frpm these papers that the American coasts are suffering dreadfully.
