Head• Quarters, Buffalo,
Dec. 32d. 18.3.
SiiW-r-l regret to be under the necessity el
announcing royou the mortifying intelligence
©frke loss of Fort Niagara. On the morn
ing of tbe iy h instant, about 4 o’clock, the
enemy crossed the river at the Five mile
Meadows in great force, consisting of regu
lars and Indians, who made their way undis,
covered to the garrison, which* from tbe
most correct information 1 can collect, was
completely surprised. Our men were near
ly all asleep in their tents ; the enemy rush
ed in and commenced a most horrid slaugh
ter. Such as escaped the fury of the first 1
onset, retired.to the old incss house, where
they kept up a destructive fire on the ene
my. until a want of ammunition compelled
them to surrender. Altho’ our force was
very inferior and comparatively small in
deed, 1 am induced to think that the disas
ter is not attributable to any want of troofis,
but logrc/ts neglect in the commanding offi
cer of tbe fort, Capt. Leona ^ , in not pre
paring, being ready, and looking out for the
expected attack.
I have net been abieto ascertain correct
ly the number of killed and wounded. About
twenty regulars have escaped out of the fort
—some badly wounded. Lt. Peck, 24th re
giment is killed, and it is said three others.
You will percehe, sir, by the enclosed Ge
ra! Orders, that 1 apprehended an attack,
9iid*madc the necessary arrangements to
meet it, but have reason to-believe, from in
formation received by those who made their
escape, that the commandant did not in any
re»j>cct comply with those orders.
On the mime morning a detachment of
militia, tinder Major flennet, stationed at
Lewistown Heights, was attacked by a par
tv of '<avtiges ; but the Major and his little
Corps, by making a asperate charge, effect
ed their retreat after being surrounded by
several hundred, with the loss of six or 8,
who doubtless were killed ; among whom
•wore two sons Capt Jones Indian interpre
ter. The vfftege* ot V ntiptomt, Lewiston,
Manshift* er. and the Indian Tuscarora vil
lage,.-were reduced to ashes, and the innf
femnve inhabitants who could not escape,
wen- with ut regard to age or sex, inhu
manly butchered by savages beaded by Bri
tish officers fiainii d. A British officer who
is Taken prisoner avows that many small
children were murdered by their Indians.—
Maj Mallory, Who was stationed at Sc hi os
w:r, with about 40 Canadian volunteers, ad
vanced to Lewiston Heights, and compelled
the advanced guard of the enemy to fall
back to the* foot of the mountain. The Ma
jor is a meritor.ous officer—he fought the
enemy two days, and contended every inch
of ground to the Tautawanty Creek. In
these actions Lt. Lowe, 23d regt. U. S. ar
my, and 8 of the Canadian volunteers were
kdlt-d. I had myself, three d ys previous to
the attack on the Niagara, left it with a view
of providing for the defence ol this place,
Black Rock, and the other villages on this
frontier. 1 came here without troops, and
liave called out the militia of Gennesse, Ni
agara and Chataugue counties en masse
This place was then thought to be in most
imminent danger, as wcil as the shipping,
but I have no doubt is now perfectly secure.
Volunteers ate coming in in great numbers;
they are, however, a species of troops that
cannot be expected to continue in service for
a long time. In a few days, one thousand
detached militia, lately drafted, will be on.
1 have the honor to he &c.

FROM THE PUBLIC GAZETTE.
TO TH~UBL1C.
As the public anxiety ts much excited, cnthe
saoject of the evacuation of Fort George,
anti as many have taken the liberty ofua
justly censuring gen. M*C!ure, without
knowing the facts, bis friends who wish
that the truth may appear, have prevailed
on the general to allow the following cor
respondence and geoeraL order to be pub
Ushed. Had the militia remained until
their, places would have been supplied,
Fort George would still have been ours,
btjtl the fact is otherwise, and the whole
disgrace is to be attributed to the conduct
of a certain lieutenant colonel, who was
the chief actor, at the head of all mutinies
and disaffection in the army, and who
appeared to be more engaged in the antici
pation of receiving his pay on a certain
day, than in persuading his men to re
main.

The subject of our conversation
this morning has occupied my most serious
attention. The deadly blow heretofore gi
ven to the patriotism of our citizens on this
frontier, has prepared them for murmurs
and complaints; those who are now on their
march, have left their homes and their bosl*
ness under great sacrifices, with moral cer
tainty of being brought into action. The last
address which 1 issued under your directions,
and which I am huppy to f...J has met your
approbation, gives them reasons for indulg
ing the expectation of service, and they are
anxious to drive the enemy fram their bor
, ders forever. The high character of gene
ral Harrison, combned with these circum
stancer, has excited strong interest in the
public mmd relative to our operations.
In this peculiar situation of allairs, I feel
it to be due to tbe gallant volunteers and mi
litia, who are assembled and collect! ng^and
to my own reputatiou, most respectfully to
solicit, that it it is not incompatible with
your instructions aud your (letter judgment,
you will not abandon our projected expedi
tion against Burlington Heights.—Such is
the anxious wish of the militia, and i have
no doubt the soldiers under your command
are equally if not more desirous of the em
ployment.
My anxiety on the subject. I trust, will ex
cuse the appearance of any •'•isrespect in
making this communication, which certainly
is far from my feelings. My confidence in
the valor, ability and prudence of gen. Har
rison, will dispose me most cheerfully to
submit to any ai range meats he may Le bound
to make, however great may be my disap
pointmeut in then* result.

Dear Sir,
Your letter to me of this morning
has been received. I f *el most severely the
weight of the reasons which you urge f ir
the prosecution of the intended expedition to
Burlington. The disappointment, however,
to the brave and the patriotic men, who have
turned out under the • xpectation of serving
their country effectually in the field at this
inclement season, is the most painful circum
stance attending it, as I am well convinced
from the information received this morning
and last evening, that the enemy are remov
ing as fast as possible from the head of the
Lake to Kingston, which has been left with
a very small part of the force that was late
ly there, and it is more than probable
that should wtr advance in force, the enemy
having now but -——effective men at Bur*'
lington, would destroy the stores which they
have remaining there, ami retreat too ra
pidly to be overtaken ; there are considera
uons, nowever wmcn would make it extreme
ly desirable to make an exmbition of force
in that quarter, but the orders I have receiv
ed from .he secretary of war, leave me no
alternative. Com. Chauncey is extremly
pressing that the troops should immediately
embark, declaring that the navigation, at
this season, to small vessels, is very danger
ous. The force at Sackett’s Harbor is_.
The troops at York are all hastening down
to Kingston. Sacket’s Harbor may be en
dangered by even a delay of a few days; and
should the troops that are here, not get down
before the Jake is frozen, our licet may be
destroyed for the want of their aid. I can
not therefore take upon myself the responsi
bility of delaying their going down even a
day. Will yon be so good at a proper time
as to explain the above circumstances to
the patriots wlio left their homes with the
intenlion of assisting me to drive the enemy
far from our borders, and assure them that
I 'hall ever recollect with the warmest gra
titude the partiality they have been pleased
to express for me, ami their preference of
serving under my command.
I will direct payment to be made to the
volunteers for rations and forage in coming
out.
Accept my bust wishes for your health and
happiness, and believe me sincerely your
friend.

Dear Sir—Being ordered to return to the
westward, you will please to resume the
command, which you received previously to
my arrival at this place. The orders which
you heretofore have received will govern
you. It will be necessary that you keep a
vigilant eye over the disaffected part of the
Inhabitants, and I recommend that you make
use of the zeal, activity and local knowledge
which col. Wilcocks certainly possesses, to
counteract the machinations of the enemy
j and ensure the confidence of our friends a*
! mongst the inhabitants. It will, however,
| I am persuaded, be your wish as It is your
j duty, to guard the latter as much as possi
^ ble fi om oppression,"
The votunleer* which Were late!/ calhd
out, will tie retained us ieng as you consider
ilwir srntces necessary: the drafted militia
till further orders are received from the Se
c ret ary of War.
'There can be little doubt of its being the
intention of the enemy to tend the greater
yatt of the troops which they have at Dur«
iington and York to Kingston, and to make
\ork the right of their line. They may,
however, have a small command at Hurling
ton, and those may be so securely posted as
to render them safe from any desultory ex
pedition you may set on foot; but it is desir
able to have any supplies which they may
have collected at -, in tho neighbor
hood destroyed ; and should the success be
low be not such as to promise, possession of
the whole of the upper province,——
may be destroyed.
. Capts. Leonard and Reed, or either of
them are appointed to muster your tr» opd
when and where yon may think proper, in
closing this Communication, 1 should not do
lustice to n;y feelings, if I were not to ac*
knowledge the zeal and talents with which
you have managed your command. Your
Conduct appears to have been extremely ju
dicious and proper throughout; and your
troops exhibit a state of improvement and
subordination which is at once honorable to
your officers and themselves.

To the Editor of the Buf'aloe Gazette.
SIR—
Having heard from several sources illiberal
and erroneous statements of the force at Fort
George when that post was abandoned, and that
great quantities of arms and ammunition were des
troyed, we consider it utility we owe the .comman
dant, gen. M’Clure, to undeceive the people and
convince them of the measure* that were pursued.
I he period for which Uic militia had been drafted
having expired, the genurnl held out every induce,
■ociit in his power for them to remain for a short
time, lie offered .< Louniy, hut iniiher iove of coun

The British know ng the period when the militia
tour ot service would expire, availed themselves of
that moment toemieav >r to retake the frontier,
ndvanced iioiii ilvii iing on lie glils The general
called a council ot the remainder of In = Officer*,
when it was unanimously agreed that the furl was
not tenable with the small remaining force All
the publio property ol'every description tli .t w .s
ot any value, except 3 iron 1Z pouudcis, which he
imd not sufficient physical fo.ee to carry away, (St

utiiicd in the ruins of the fori) was taken across
tiie river to Kart Niagara; nor w«s there a musket
left uoru cartridge of powder more than was neces

ty, belong,tig to individuals friendly to us, was also
taken across/ and so near was the enemy, tb l H
or 10 pi isnuers were taken in assisting them to get
their property this side.
As .elates to the burning of the village of New
ark, however diangiSesble to the feelings of the ge
iie.al, the act was net' unauthorised, but at the same
tune he conceived it access .ry for the protection of
ourfrontier, that the enemy might not haveil in
their power to quarter with their Indian allies in
the village, anti murder our citizens
Twelve hours notice was giicti to the few inha

four houses were left for those who chose to remain/

DISCUSSIONS AT OOTTKWBUUti.
The President’s admonition to Congress, to
push the war as if there were no prospect of
peace, is truly wise. If, indeed, we could
place implicit reliance en the fair import o
t c declaration of lord Custlcreagh, as to the
basis on which the enemy will treat, we should
confidently look for a cessation of the tfar by
the spring, or early in the ensuing summer,
litcworus of his lortibliip are, “ upon prin
ciples of perfect reciprocity, not inconsistent
with the established maxims of public law and
with the moralime right* of the British empire /**
Nov, it is very Certain that the United States
require nothing more j because, in fairness.
“ the maritime right* of the British empire,’’
cannot be other than such as “ the established
maxims of public law” will sanction, and from
which the United State* have no inclination to
depart. But ii the enemy sets up new preten
sions, under the plea of 11 msratime rights,
peace may be as distant as ever It is to be re -
gretted that lord Castlereagh did not specifi
cally state t1 esc rights. We think the phra
seology of our Secretary of State’s letter, much
more distinct and satisfactory. IIis words are,
“on conditions of reciprocity, consistent vith
the right: of both parties, as sovereign and
independent nations.” It will depend very
much on the spirit which Oreat Britain bring*
into the negbeiatiou, whether there will be
peace or not. When we hear what man die
appoints for minister to meet ours at Gotten
tenburg, a probable conjecture of the event
may be formed. At any rate, as Mr. Madison
observe*, « vigorous preparations for carrying
on the war can in no respect impede the pro
gress to a favorable result.” And. with this
view, we would recommend A most rigorous
execution of the embargo law.
The Pc Jcrsl Republican, of the 6th instant
'•ays, **Ujc talents of .different men are ver;
justly said to lie in different things.” The edi.
tors of that paper are certainly an exception tc
I the saying j for it ia llicir talent to “ Lie” in
uU things.
What will the honest part of the federal
association do now, aiuce the fact that the etn
peror of Russia did offer to mediate, between
the United States and Great Britain, is dis.
tinctly proved by no less a witness than lord
Cathart, the British minister at tlie Russian
court, in his letter to the Count de Nesselrode ?
l)o the public forget the long letters that the
honorable Timtthy dickering wrote to contro
vert the fact i Do they forget the vaporing of
the Federal Republican on that subject! Will
the Imnest part, upon the exposure of so Tile a
falsehood paltned upon them by the dishonest
part of the federalists, give more credit to the
administration in future l They ought j but we
fear they will not. If men of integrity in the
federal party, who wish to do the thing that is
right, should call in question the veracity of
the Blue Lights, they will be whipped in by the
political flagellators at Georgetown.

THE SENATE AND DOUSE OF DELE
GATES.
Fellow Citizens,
Enclosed I transmit a
report of the Commi ttee of the Visitors of
the Penitentiary with the accompanying do
cumeus
In the year 1807 this establishment was a
sinking fund. Tbe Exicutive of that day
with a view to increase the vigilance and in
dustry of the Keeper and Turnkeys granted
them a per centum allowance on the nett
proceeds beyond the expenses of the esta
lishjnent. 'riie result equalled the expecta
tions of tho Executive, and the proiits have
gradually accumulated. By reference to the
accompanying report it will be seen that in
the last year they were equal to $ 18,974 24.
The Keeper being allowed 15 per centum
has received S 2,976 46. So soon a3 the
Executive was advised of this fact they lost
no time in abolishing the per centum com
mission, reserving to themselves the right of
making such compensation as under ull the
circumstances ol the case may be dictated,
as well by a due regard to an adequate al
lowance to the Keeper and Turnkeys, as the
interest of the Commonwealth. Prior to the
war the manufactures at the Penitentiary
had accumulated to such an extent as to
make it advisable to employ selling agents
in different parts of the Commonwealth who
received 5 per centum as a commission, since
which event however the demand being grea
ter than the supply, a ready sah ha- been
effected at the |xnitentiary. In referi-nee to
the compensation and perquisites of the
Keeper the commission 1ms been reduced by
j a recent advice of Council to two and a half
| per centum.
