Commodore Perry arrived at Erie in June, with five small vessels from Black Rock. - The Queen Charlotte and Lady Prevost, were cruising off Long Point to intercept him - he passed them in the night unperceived. The Lawrence and Niagara were then on the stocks - every exertion was made to expedite their building and equipment, and early in August they were ready to sail.

The British fleet appeared off the harbor, for the purpose of preventing our"s from going to lake! - The means employed by our officers to take the brigs over the bar, were ingenious and deserves mention.
