From the Augufta Chronicle Extra From an official report #/ General Lewis t the Secretary at war, we are ai loft relievedfrom the fears and anx iety which the 1000 rumors ft indus truujly circulated, created in the pub lic mind fer the fituatien andJafety $f the northern army which prejfed f$ j'nccefsfully int Canada on the 17th if .Lav, after carrying ail the military prfittens §f the enemy between the .Lakes Gntarii and Erie—Rad this Juccefs been fellf wed up with dectfion >+nd energy y Canada was ours ; but 1 fore we pat our army in motion, zve allow.J the envy h cdfPt his Mat tered tof\<:s 9.1 to retire auiberately to f.tch pft.tunc *.r he dvpre \nd — Gen. y,nsent te*k itre road -o Yrk, a'id m&i ched ley**'.) a-r g the jhores of (hitariii umii he reached 40 mile Chick, where he ook up w’f'ifititn, tn toe approach if eur army under Gens.

Bui the Britijh Ge neral, a. ware of eur intentions (fir there eye few ferrets in our army) and in pojjcjfiin if the count erfgn for the night, put his troops in motion and by midnight reached eur camp , and after killing and feeding the guards , at the bead if 500 regulars , ptnetra* ted into the centre of our camp, mak ing both cur Generals pr if oners and turning the guns of our Lighi artillery again ft our own camp. At this aw ful and important cßfis, when every thing was giving way to the imfetu iftty if the enemy, when esnfufion and death were in every pari if the camp , and nothing ~bnt defeat expefied, the genius of America interptfed in fir favor —the gallant and intrepid Mi } - ton.
