After being addreesed by Aleners.,Moßliehnel sod DAVill, the meeting adjntirned .with nine cheers for Scott and Graham.

Capture of an Anserian fishing vessel by a Britia Cruiser—Danger of war—The Tariff Bat— Cholera—New Minister to Naito—Whaling Bridge. The apprehended difficulty with England is the eubject of universal conversation. The Speak or of the House this afternoon received a dis- patch that the British had commenced the work of threatened depredation upon our fishing fleet, by capturing a schooner belonging to Maine. This illustrates the justice of the view general ly taken yesterday in the 'Senate, that steps should be immediately adopted to meet force with force, and to decline negotiation until the men ace conveyed in the new admiralty orders were withdrawn. Perhaps all this may bo settled by a friendly exchange of notes, rather than of shots from the cannon'e mouth. As a general rule there is no doubt that it is better to settle international disputes at the point of the pen, thou at the point of the bayonet. Yet it is not the lees certain that these frequent and obsti nate struggles over questions of mutual right, are producing a state of feeling which in the end will lead to actual hostilities. The manner in which we receded from our pretensions to the whole of Oregon up to tifty-four forty, before the' arrogance and power of England has left upon, the popular mind of this country a feeling of drop mortification; and the still more contemp tuous and supercilious course pursued by the some country in abrogating the Clayton and Bul -1 wer treaty, coupled with abject submission upon our part, has given a keener edge to the nation al reeeetment. It is undeniable that the due protection of our 6-bermen is a matter of far' reater importance, thauviny chime, however well founded, to the sterile and hyperbortan tracts in Oregon, north et latitude forty-nine. It is my opinion that sooner or later these disputes will lead to an open rupture — Such a struggle would be sanguin ary and desperate, hut it could have but one re salt The British American provinces would fall into our hands, and the naval Oyer of our gi gantic adversary would be broke's, The Tariff Bill for establishing a uniform ba sis of Junta, upon official valuer, is making pro geese, and will probably become a law this Bes t km.

' But resolved net to abandon the enterprise begun, he came to the bevole..it not desperate, determination to disencumber his army of baggage; and push for ward to Burlington Heights at all events. To mask that movement, and also replenish his pro .% Woes from stores at Schlosser, the army was lel back to Chippewa on the 25th of July, whose almesie grounds and proud recollections soon elicited the memorable achievements of one of the Most obstinate, sanguinary, and altogether extraordinary battles by night.

I oxfe: all of which the second battle of the Falls' commended at Bridgewater or Lundy's Lane, as it is variously called, euperadded to the first known as that of Chippewa. The battle of Bridgewater was unexpected to both moles. Gen. RIO had followed Brown ' from the neighborhood of Queenstown to the' Pals, without his being aware of it; and Gen, Drummond folloWed Itiell. But their attack was not intended till daybreak en' the 26th of July. Oa the 25th, all the Bntish forces and artillery n o t having arrived, Gen. Scott, more courage- eddy than, perhaps, prudently, without the de. sign of either commander, or either army being prepared, precipitated the strange and severe nocturnal contest, by which, of sin thousand combatants, seventeen hundred killed, wounded or captured, were sacrificed to the point of honor. Emboldened by the confusion in which a per plexed and obscure conflict' Adored after mid night and the retreat of the American army next thy, the British claimed victory, with some piausible pretentious. They claim too, inferi ority of numbers, though eolith superior in their urn well chosen position, with better armament, more ammunition, and every means of success, when they were defeated in thatimpressive trial orarms. - Without offiolal authority 'for their number, beyond their own accounts, chargeable with the trona; partiality of such statements, the English foreman Canada, that summer, oneeeded all the regular troops of the United States anywhere on this continent.. There' were considerable forces in Canada before peace in Europe multi plied them.• The Eastern British provinces, No v. Scotia-and New Brunswick, added many- to Canadian levies, which were numerounand'weil organized. Early in July, reinfoiteementsbegan to arrive from,Europe, with the utmost perfec tion of military armament and naval transpor tation, on board many transport vessels, though the unemployed British navy was itself sufficient to convey large pats without employing trans ports. According to go g lisb and Canadian ero dible publications, the expedition to America was on a large scale, to be commanded by s lieutenant general, and several celebrated gen erals, leading the dire of the Duke of Welling ton's army to the punishment, if not conquest, of the whole United States. . No better use could be made of that large dis posable force than to send them, in great num bers, to America. It was cheaper, more politic, loss offensive to the officers and soldiers than to disband them at home, that' they should be em ployed abroad, where, If many perished, it was an economy.

' ' : . • '• From the 16th to the 25th of July, OSUMI Brown hod no thilap theme no harp at his nanny, • • ' but no hopes from his naval compatriot. Major- General Ilia, with refreshed and reinforced troop., had followed him to the Falls of Niagara, with every preparation made to attack the Ame rican army, early in the morning of the 26th of '3 . nly, in its former anepicions encampment at `Chippewa. Lieutenant-General Drummond, Go vernor of Upper Canada, sailed from York the eveniog of the 24th, and reached Niagara river early next morning. Thence sending forward some regiments drawn from Forte George and Mississaga, under Colonel Morrison, to join Riall. Colonel Tucker, with about a thousand soldiers, sailors and Indians, crossed to the American side against Schlosser. To contend with all these superior forces, bets- iog control of all the waters, the American army at Chippewa, mustered in action not more than twentyfirc hundred fighting men. Each of the two brigades contained some eight or nine hun- deed. The volunteers were from five to six hundred. The killed and wounded on the 6th July, and in skirmithes afterwards, the sick and diminutions by other casualties, and departure of all the Indians, reduced by many hundreds the thirty-five hundred combatants who ventured to invade Canada three weeks before. Expect- og no action on the 25th; oepecioUy towards evening, when it suddenly came on, three bun dred or more detailed for washing and other camp service!, were not tahou from them into action. At noon Den. Brown was informed by an ex press of the British movement about Queens town, the arrival of the vessels, boats and re inforcements brought by Drummond. Soon after, by another express, ho WO apprised of the expedition of Col. Tucker to Schlosser. Lieut. Riddle, Bent out to reconnoitre, had not returned, but Capt. Odell, commanding a picket .on the north of the encampment, reported soon in the morning to Major Leavenworth, officer of the day, who sent to bead quarters, that with a glais a troop of horse and two companies of in fantry, in scarlet regimentals, could be seen, about two miles off, believed to be the Britieh advance, near Wilson's tavern, not far from the Falls of Niagara. There was no apprehension, however, of An attack or of may immediate hos tile intention, except against the stores, amnia nition, sick. and other deposits on the other side of the river, at Schlosser, whither it was known the enemy had proceeded, and which General Brown had no means of either defending, trans. porting or removing. His predicament, perilous as he felt it, was more HO than he was aware. lie had no idea, however. of an atteck, as the Brit ish had crossed over to Schlosser in force, still leer of retreat, bat courted battle - A march towards Queenstown, which might induce the enemy to return from the other side of the river, was hie bnaardoue, not iejudieions, and, as events noon proved, fortunate determination. Nor was it, whatever military theoriats or scioliats may city, inconsistent with those ice. proved principles of modern warfare, which, casting away the impediments of baggage, the supernumerariee of clamps, crowde, and all that con possibly be dispensed with for an emergency, take the boldest way to victory, risking much, that much may he accomplished. It was a courts which Cromwell, Frederick, or Napoleon would approve Reviewing the Campaigns of Alex ander, Cresar, Hannibal, Tarenne, Gustav:le, and his own,—Napoleon testified that their prin ciples were ell the same, TIT: to keep their force together, and be vulnerable et no point, [doh them - rapidly on important pcsitione, troet to moral meant., the reputation of their areas, end the fear they inspired. Never did 'any one of Cheer teighty commanders think of keeping op e n communication behind him, of regarlitig info rior heat:duke in his rear, but arwhys aimed by amassed means at one great object. A cam paign is like an argument, in'wbich the , great position being carried; all the minor ones fol h.q. And alwaye the morel are more import ant than the military means and rouse queneca. Gen. Scott was therefore ordered to :Larch at once, rep trt to General Brown, nod call for help if needed. When he matched, there was no de sign. or idea in either army of the contest that ensued. 'raking his men from afternoon drill, when ordered to Qeeenittown, Geeerai Scott led out the runt brigade: the 9th regiment, Mtj ce Leavenworth; Ilth, Major McNeil; *.r2d, Colonel Brady; Z",th, Major Jessup; all feeble in numbers; Leavenworth'e regiment only one hundred and fifty; Jesaup'e some two hundred—not one well suppliod with ammunition. Towson's company of artilery, Harlin' troop, and some volunteer cavalry, were with the rent, altogether not eight hundred men. With thin small force on their way to QUeenstown, nett° fight, Gen. Scott fell in with the enemy, right in front, who retired, but it was believed intended to give battle. Maj. Wtiod, the engineer, having reconoltered.. and repotted to that effect, Scott dispatched Assio tant Adjutant (ten.

Inspired with the confidence of that BRECCIA, he made immediate disposition for attacking much superior numbers, in a strong position. The rules of war were against, but fortune favored the movement: The British, without counting Gen. Drommond'e reinforce meat of eight hundred, arrived that afternoon. and Col. Scott's that night, of twelve hundred more, at first far ontnumbered ourtroops. When the conflict began, the British could not have bee& less than from two thonaand to twenty-five hundred etrong. Their "seven pieces of artillery were posted on the summit of a hill, supported by a heavy line of infantry, flanked by cavalry. Scott's advance was led by Captain Berrie with bin dragoons, and Captain Pentland'a company of the 22d infantry, both officers much dietin gaished throughout the action, towards the end of which Pentland lost a leg, was left on the ground end taken prisoner. Between Wilson's tricorn and Lundy's Lane, near the village of Bridgewater, the Britieh ar tillery opened upon Sootr, who formed and re versed his column, faltering_ under its destruc tive severity. As it must be some time before Ripley's brigade and Porter's could tome to Soott's aid, be detached Major Jetisnp with the gstb, to seek and engage the British left, while the General attacked their right. The other three regiments here moped beyond the admin. ed companies, and stationed, where, as well as daring the change of position, their exposure and losses were so severe, that both McNeill and Brady, with many, if not most of the other of ficers, were disabled by wounds; sod their regi ments no much- demoralized es to be confused, some retreating, their (=monition too, at last falling short Towson's inimitable battery on the right, by inceesant reverberations of the most exciting martial music, encouraged the column; but the Britieh guns were so high that Me abet passed over them, while theirs plunged down with deadly aim, end for some time Tow son ceased firing, as useless. The action began towards evening; for more that as hour was maintained by the first brigade alone, notwith mending great disadvantages to contend against, and the lose of half their force; Jensup's detach ment, meanwhile,whose loss in killed and woun ded was in proportion to the other regiments, never faltering to its signal episode, till the en emy on the right were routed. By; mueketry,st a hundred yards, at first, and then the bayonet, the British left was put to flight by Jessup, who thereupon seized a road, which be dieeovered,to tarn their flank, and with that advantage routed still more of them. SCOTT, WITH INTERISIASTIC AND MATCHLESS , LICATERT, PROSICURED HIS ON SIT, A PIIISIONAL !:SAMPLE TO ALE, IF er lIITNAV AGANT, TIT OUSTAINID AND INVINCIBLE ARDOR:— It was Jessup'e geed fortune, the common effect of good conduct, 'So capture General Riall retir ing wounded, together with Captain Loveriog, aid-decamp of General Drummond, several eth er officers, and altogether one hundred and six ty nine prisoners—as many as were left unhurt of Ids own command.

Thus taught by the enemy, and the re sults we are safe in denying the imputed rash ness, and ea was said, frenzy of Scott, on that occasion, in applauding the ability of his dispb silicas, though they began by a charge of seem ing rashness, and at all events, admiring the ex cellent fortitudr, as well as courage, by which he made head against formidable odds, and in. troduced a hard-earned victory'., The drooping took courage from the fearless, and vied with the example of is ecrospionotes leeder,formast in every danger.

Before that, telling them to maintain their ground, he announced the thrice welcome tidings that Gene ral Brown, with Ripley,a and Porter's brigades, were at band. Volleys of musketry un the hill joyfully confirmed that grateful relief, then in-' dispensable. Ripley's brigade and Porter's volunteers, by li cordial and expeditious, but'cirenitons and una voidably somewhat retarded advance, bring us to the next still more excited and doubtful stage of that maternal conflict; for it was sunset when they arrived, and after near two hours of even ing battle, by not more than ono American to three Eugliehmen, during the remaining three bourn of darkness, seldom, if over, was there fiercer fighting in the dark. A 9 soon no Ripley heard Scott's firing. he formed his brigade. Gen. Brown, whose aid, Captain Austin, had been to inquire what Bring it woe, ordered Ripley'm and Porter's brigades to the field, and his aid to tell Ripley where to take his station. Brown, then, with the engi neer, Major McCree, hastened forward. Ripley and Porter loot no time, the men trotting for ward to move as rapidly as possible over the bridge, and nearly three miles had they to go. It wee night when they farmed for action. The formidable annoyance of nine heavy cannons, Drummond having added two to Riall's seven in battery on the top of a hill, at once suggested the obvious expediency, if not absolute necessi ty, of overcoming so fetal a hindrance to any chance of succees. It remains matter of ques tion whether Brown, Ripley; or Slane, was first to declare that the battery on that hill must he stormed and taken.

English and American truth is a remarkable characteristic. The British, driven down that hill, leaving their killod rind wounded with their guns in charge of their conquerora, took shelter and counsel about two hundred yards frontand un derneath it; where, shrouded in profound dark ncas and discomfiture, they re-organized for an other effort Soon afterwards, some two hun dred of the first regiment found their way up the hill, whither ale.

Amid the gloom of sultry night, in the wild scenery of a picturesque re gion, occasional shouts of onset and triumph, more frequent though fainter cries of distress from the wounded, and continual yells of the English Indians, were overpowered by the pre- Islemlnant murmur of the vast cataract, with eternal commotidn, tumbling the waters of one large lake into another. Stunned by the inces• giant roar of mighty teeters, the troops exhausted with fatigue, were barched with thirst. Tho toil and tug of war, however, were only begun, when they seemed to be over. When Ripley, with his 700 and Porter with his 500 men, went to Scott's relief, reduced to lese than 400, as his brigade was broken Into frngmenta, Drummond was stimulated as well as strengthed for further efforts by the continued arrivals of fresh troops: the British Annual Register confetiees.i2ooL un der Col. Scott, received during the 'action.— Moved by every feeling of soldiery and national pride, . duty and propriety, he was resolved to capture the lost guns and testore the adverse fortune of the night, excited by national even continental or hemispheric rivalry. - Europe against America, sharpening individual exas peration, made a struggle of more than for vic tory or death. That peculiar mixture of respect and aversion which prevails betspeea English and Americans, despising, bating and admiring each other; the same lineage, language, soma of the memo Irish and ether soldiery in both armies, and some of the corps even dressed alike, in the same grey uniform, the changes and vicissitudes of preca rious conflict, imbued it altogether with the bit terness of family strife, worso than civil war, or contest for mastery, regaedieee of sufferings or consequences. Men on both rides of strong nerve, unflinching, were forced to give way.— But with moat a military conjuncture raged,. stealing affection, .stifling apprehension, and in a tempest of passion itiflttrnitig , llll to unmitiga ted extermination. One of the features of that remarkable battle was an old church dedicated by religions consecration to peace en earth and goOd will to man. Near the fence of the graore, yard of that temple of Christian piety, under the guns of the battery pointed at Scott's post. tion, Miller, by the light of their blue and re= port of their explosions, his only means of local ting the artillery, moved in silent, stealthy dee: penal.' against it, poured in a fatal volley au pouncing his onslaught, and then prostrating the fence, rushed in with the bayonet and seined the park, from which the British were daunt What a deed for a churehyard! filled with Ens glbsh graven, over which Americans strode tq put more Englishmen to death. . , After about half an hour's ammo from their place of retreat under the bill, being reorgant iced and reinforced, they were heard again mot wing up the saint.

Ne ver good tonrksmen, however, and with the die!. advantage of standing lower, the British no* fired over the Americans, whose plunging shots Were more effective; and the British, again for cad to give way, retreated down the bill to they hiding place. • Fear is of one and the same pallid complex ion. Courage wears many faces. Miller was as calm, add Ripley almost as cold, as Scott was vehement. As the first regiment under Col. Ni cholas conducted by Major Wood, was taking its position, General Brown repeated to Col: Miller that he was to charge and take the battery with the bayonet, to which good humoredly he 'an swered, "it shall be done, sir." During the fiat combat on the hill, the first brigite at amine- distance enjoyed a short ut opia. Score Was ZACIZII as am row moan ricurram, and Brown even more so, if need be, superintending every operation , Which in the Fotatilarhnese could be done only by personal attention, ratherfeeling than seeing what must be done.

Without figure of speech - the !ghosts of the Addeo, of three regiments were wandering In utter darkness, invisible on the margin of death's river, another Styx. Revived into a small bettallion, the command belonged to Colonel Brady, with whom too much exhausted by loss of blood for command, his Major Arrow smith remained. After the enemy's repulse, when attempting to retake the cannon, Brown and Scott meeting directed Leavenworth to take command of the battelien eonnolidated from the twee regiments of infantry, which formed into column in Lundy's Lane. The Ist, 21st and 23d regiments were. now on the hill, fond Major Madman, Captsins Towson and Ritchie, with their &mon the summit, near the church. The 9th, 11th and 22d consolidated, were at Latidy'e Lane, or its proximity, with Captain Biddle's company of artillery. The 25th, with Major Jessup, had returned and joined Leavenworth's battalion, Porter's volunteers gallantly led by him, were with Ripley,, and al ways among the foremost in the hottest fire, several of them killed, wounded and taken pri soners. After their victory they were appropri ately employed - in escorting the British prisoners to their place of confinement in New York.

Men and of after five hours' constant fighting, were completely ex balloted, and many almost fainting with thirst. There was no water nearer than the Chippewa. Before titey marched, however, from the hill the wounded were carefully removed and the retnrn to the camp behind the Chippewa was effected in perfect order, entirely undisturbed by the ene my. Seventy six officers were killed or wound ed, and six hundred 'mil twenty nine rank and tile; of whom the unit brigade lost thirty eight officers, and four hundred and sixty eight rank and file. The commander of the brigade and every regimental officer were wounded. Every officer t• 1 the brigade and regimental staff was allied or wounded. Gen.

The British less altogether, by their subseqeent rflicial rep.rt, amounted to eight hundred and seventy-eight; the American by theirs to seven hundred and lorry three. Every General in both armies was wounded, and every officer, except Ripley, who had several shots iu hit hat. Battle had raged for more than five . , brute, three in the dark, when all firing Ceased; overc.emo with fatigue and thirst it was hazard ous to refresh en the hill, because the enemy might cut them of from the camp at Chippewa. Wpm Leavenworth and Jeesup's opinion was made known to General Ripley, left in command, that the wounded should be collected and the whole army removed to camp Wagons were ac cordingly sent for to carry eft the wounded.

For want of horses, bitumens. drag-tapes and other contrivances to carry off them Inestimable trophies, they fell at last into tho hands of tho "English, who returned to the hill.scon after the Americans left it. Major Hindman going there, by General Brown's order, to bring away the guns after Ripley had gone to Chippewa, found the hill, together with the guns, in possession of the British, who did not fail to proclaim the precious prize as proof that theirs was the victory, which perversion was further Countenanced by Riptey'a destroying ahu . bridge over the Chippewa, and some of his baggage. camp equipage and provisons, preparatory to his retreat to Fort Eria. • Where so many were distinguished as at the battle of Bridgewater, few .brevets were conferred; only on Scott and the two engineer officers.
