Geneva Gazette (Geneva, NY), Wed., Aug. 4, 1813

The fleet under Com. Chauncey, consisting of about 15 sail, and having it is said nearly 3,000 troops on board, arrived at Niagara the 27th ult. and proceeded the next day with a detachment towards the head of the lake on an expedition. The state in last week's paper of the arrival of the fleet, was premature, as will be seen by a reference to the Buffalo article of July 27.
