FROM THE ARMIES.

From the Albany Argus, of Oct. 15.

Our news from the Northern Army and from Niagara frontier, is to the 7th and from Sackett's Harbor to the 9th inst.

The Northern Army continued at Chateaugay and Malone—their ultimate destination still a secret.

We understand the troops at Sackett's Harbor were embarked on Saturday afternoon. The force from Fort George had passed the mouth of the harbor, and were at Gravelly Point nearly opposite Kingston.

Gen. McClure's letter states, that the British fleet was at the head of the Lake, and that Fort George had been summoned to surrender.

Extract of a Letter from Brigadier Gen. McClure, to his Excellency Gov. Tompkins dated

"Fort George, half past 5 o'clock P. M. 6th October, 1813.

Since writing the above we have commenced offensive operations against the enemy. About 500 militia volunteers and about 150 Indians, commanded by Colonel Chapin, attacked the picket guard of the enemy about a mile and an half from Fort George, and drove them in upon the main body, when the enemy opened a fire from several field pieces. Our men retired in good order into the fort, with the loss of one man killed and two or three wounded. The enemy's loss was seven killed, many wounded and four prisoners. In a short time the enemy appeared in considerable force within 500 yards of the fort, at the edge of the woods. Chapin again sallied out with about 300 men and some Indians, commenced a brisk fire on the whole of the enemy's line, and drove them half a mile; but perceiving by the movements of the enemy that they would out flank us, I ordered 200 men to reinforce him, and in two detachments to attack the enemy's flank. We succeeded in driving the enemy into the woods, when night coming on put an end to the conflict. Our loss was trifling. I have not ascertained that of the enemy. Colonel Chapin is a brave man. Every officer and soldier did his duty."
