Yesterday the 6th, 13th, 15th, and 16th regiments of infantry, marched from the Cantonment at this place to the north.
On Wednesday last the Steam boat arrived from White Hall with about 200 British exchanged prisoners and 20 sailors for our flotilla. She immediately proceeded with them to the lines, where our fleet now lies.
Capt. Pring commands the British flotilla. We understand he stated to the officer who had charge of the prisoners, that Sir James Yeo, in consequence of a wound, would be compelled to retire from the command of Lake Ontario--and that the command would be conferred on Captain Mulcaster. When and where Sir James received this wound, or whether it is a bodily wound or a more fatal contusion in his reputation, which renders him "unfit for service," we did not learn.
Fortifications are erecting on Cumberland Head. Four eighteen pounders have been mounted there.
