[BY THE STEAM BOAT.]
The steam boat, which arrived yesterday
morning, brings a report thatthe enemy’s
fleet, including the large ship, has gotout
of Kingston, and is cruising on the lakc.—
Our fleet is at Sackett’s Harbor
A passenger in the steamboat states as a
report, that Fort George has been taken by
gen. Izard’s army, with its’ garrison, con-
sisting of 300 men. The main body of the
army had previously evacuated it.
Port of New-York, Oct. 15.
NROM SACKETFTT’S H ARBOR-
We have a letter of the 11th, which gives
no news but the following :
« Commodore Chauncey came in last
evening with the fleet. The Fuarbor is ve-
ry strongly fortified. We expect and wish
anattack. We have no doubt ofa victory
should they come.”
There is a vague ramor that the B tish
flect, with the large ship was out of Kii/ s+
ton——which is at least doubtful.
It was yesterday Reported, on the au-
thority of passengers in the steam boat, that
Gen. Izard had crossed at Lewistown, and
formed a junction with the army under Gen
Brown. The Columbian says,
« Our Correspondent at Albany writes
thus——¢« Gen. Izard is at Lewistown, and
Gen. Brown at Erie, reinforced by 1000
men from Obio and Kentucky So says a
letter of the 7th” Report, however, says
that Gn. Izard has crossed the river and
formed a junction with General Brown.
