The attack on Fort George was commenced
in the early morning of the ..e7th May, 1813.
The Americans, besides their ahipping, bad
an army of about 6,000 men of all rankes ;
the British force at Fort George, all told,
was about 1,000 men. Criticising it at the
present day It would have been wiseat in
General Vincent to have adopted General
Sheaffee plan ard to have taken up his line
of retreat at once on Burlington Heiehts ;
than to have resisted the American attack
with snoh fearful odds against him ; by
which he would have saved hundreds of hie
beat soldiers who were sacrificed in a useless
'defence.
After a spirited defence of somefour hours,
the British loss of all ranks having amount-
ed to about four hundred, between killed,
wounded and missing, General Vincent,
to prevent his being surrounded and cut off -
decided upon a retreat to the head of the
lake and fell back across the country in a
line parallel with the Niagara river, reaoh-
ing the position at the Beaver Dam that
night, at which place he was joined about
midnight by Colonel Bishop's force from
]'ort Erie and the other outlying posts on
the Niagara. The next morning, the 28th,

Admiration of Genius.
There is a Certain charm about great sup-
eriority of intellect that winds into deep
affections, which a much more constant
and even amiability of mannera in lesser
men, often fails to read. -Genius makes
many enemies, but it makes sure friends -
friends who forgive much, who endure long,
who exact ; they partake of the char-
acter of disciples asavell as friends. There
lingers about the human heart a strong in-
clination to look upward -to revere ; in this
inclination lies the source of religion or loy.
alty, and also of their worship and immor-
ality which are rendered so cheerfully to
the great of old. And, in truth, it is a, die-
tne pleasure to admire! Admiration seems
in some measure to appropriate to ourselves
the qualities it honours in others, We wed
-we root omselves to the natures we so
love to contemplate, and their life grows a
part of our own. Thus when a great
man, who has engrossed our thoughts,
our conjectures, our homage, dies, a gap
seems suddenly left in the world -a wheel
in the mechanism of our own being appears
abruptly stilled; a portion of oureelves, and
euet our worst portion -for how many
high, generous sentiments it contains !-
