BATTLE OF CHIPPEWA.
Copy of a letter from Capi. L. Austin,

of War, daled
Head Quarters, Buffalo,
29th July, 181%.
I have the honor of addressing you
by desire of gen, Brown, who is now
confined by wounds received in a sev re
and desperate engagement with the e-
nemy, on the afternoon and night of
the 25th inst.
Our army had fallen back to Chippa-

meeting with no opposition on Lake
Outario, tra sported by water to Fort
George, troops from Kingston and e-
ven Prescott, which enabled them to
bring against us a force vastly superior,
under the commas d of lienienant Gen-
eral Dru umond and major general Ri-
all. They were met by us near the
fails of Niagara, where a most severe
conflict ensued, The ene.uy disputed
the ground with resolution, yet were
drive: fiom every position, they. at-
tempted to bold. We stormed his
batteries directly in froat and took pos-
session of all his artillery, Notwith-
standing his immense superiority oth
in numbers and position, he was com
pletely defeated and our troops reé-
mained on the battleground without a-
ny interruption. As however, both
General Brown and Scott had recieved
severe wounds, almost every chick of
battalion disabled, and our men quiie
exhausted, it was thought prudent to
retive to our encampment, which was
done in good order, —out wounded
having firs been removed.
viajor general Riall, with the Aid
de Camp of lieurenant general Drum-
mond and about twenty o:het officers,
with two handred privates, are taken
prisoners.
The loss on both sides is immense—
but no account has yet been returned.
The Aid aod brigade major of general
Scott are both severely wounded, and
captain Spencer, an aid of general
Brown, most probably dead, haviag re-
ceived two balls throagh his body.
Both general Brown and Scott are on
this side confi.ied by their wounase
