We have not much news here at present. I last night saw a letter from Sackett's Harbor, stating and confirming the sailing of the fleet on the 1st instant. Immediately after the sailing, alarm guns were heard firing at Kingston. Col. Mitchell commands at the Harbor. Gen. Gaines has gone west. There had arrived 1500 militia, and more were daily coming in. It is not certainly known that the British fleet is out. I think from Gen. Izard's movements you may calculate soon to hear from the Isle au Noix, as he has certainly moved north.
