On the .Lakes, so much contested throughout the war, the great exer tions for the command made on our part, have been well repaid. On Lke Ontario our squadron is now, and has been for some time, m a condition to confine that of the enemy to his own port ; and to favor the operations of our land forces on that frontier ; A ; part of the squadron on Lake, Erie l has been; extended into Lake Huron, and has produced the advan tage; of displaying our command of that Lake also (Joe object ot the expedition was the reduction of Mac inaw, which'failed, with the loss of a few. brave men, among whom was an officer justly distinguished for his gaU iaot exploits.

On Lake Cham plain, where jour superiority had for some time been undisputed, the British squadron late- I v came into action, with the Ameri can, commanded by Captain Macdo nough. It issued in the'eapture of the. whole of the eoemy,s ships. The best praise t r this officer and FuV in trepid comrades is, in the likeness of his triumph to the illustrious' victory, which immortalized another officer, and established, at a critical moment, our command of another Lake 'J V Oa the Ocean the pride of our Na vaj arms has been amply supported.
