The British have removed the pickets of Fort George, and are strengthening Fort Niagara—all their wood they obtain from the Canada Side, since General John Swift captured their Choppers.
Maj. Gen. Riall commands on the Niagara frontier; has his head-quarters on Queenstown mountain. The 100th regt. are stationed at present from Chippewa to Fort Erie. Lt. Gen. Drummond has gone to Kingston, and is understood to be preparing a force to go against Sacket's Harbor; he only waits the arrival of two regiments of Highland Scots, which were on their march from Quebec, a fortnight since. A great effort will unquestionably be made to destroy our shipping at that place.
