Kingston Gazette, Aug. 24, 1813

p.3 On Lake Erie the British have a ship and schooner which at the last date, June 20th, were beating up for Erie to have a brush with Commodore Perry. A letter from Erie, on the Lake of that name, dated the 20th of June, mentions that the Queen Charlotte and a British schooner are on the Lake, and Capt. Perry has brought up from Buffalo five vessels, which very luckily escaped them in a fog. We have now here eleven vessels, two of which will carry 20 guns each.
