THE ACTION AT NAVY JSLAND . i- ¦ ( From the Cwrespondence of the New York Daily ¦ ¦ . - ¦ '¦ Express . ) Buffalo , December , mh , 1837 . From one of the officers of ' . the : patriot army ; , who arrived in to ^ 'n this evening , we have received a verbal account of the attempt last night by * > the Royalist parly to make a descent on Navy Island . Early On yesterday morning the Royalists commenced the erection of a battery with six embrasures on the Canada , ghore , for the ostensible purpose ot raking the south-west corner of the island ,. and under cover of their guns allowing another party to make a descent from a point about half a mue * abovei As soon as their operations were discovered i the
patriots commenced a fire from , ten guns—^ the shot nearly destroying the' works of the enemy , and causing the men and officers to abandon * Ahem . Previous to thigj however , a continued . fire had been kept up from . Chippeiva , to the highest point' above , which was not returned by the islanders . . ¦ Everything remained quiet until late in the afternoon ; no person to be seen on the Canada side but a few sentinels , \ vhen an alarm was given that anuniber of boats had put out frorn Cliippewa . creek , to make an attack . The artillery immediately opened upon , them , destroying one or twp fo f the barges , and forcing them to drop back -with : the current . A company of iufantry : also iired several volleys with efl ' ect- ^ the number killed not / asceftaiued . . . ¦' ¦ ..
About eleven at night , the ^ Royalists pushed over from the point above , running ; under the shore of Grand Island in this state , but put back after they were c () nvinced , by "the" signals on Navy Island , and a fe ^ w' shots , that they were discovered . ; They then commenced again to build their breast-works , but were driven oft " . This morning , at day-break , another attempt met the like result . M . 'NHb- and . his men have now retreated from Chippewa . ' . '¦ -. ' . ' . ' ¦ . ¦ '• . . ¦;' . ( From tinr Albany Advertiser . ) ., ' . ¦ ¦' .. In addition to tlie above , we have a letter from an authentic source at Buffalo , dated on Tuesday evening , which states that on Monday afternoon the BritJ . fh forces tinder M'Nab inarched trom Cbippevtato a point o | jpo . site Nayy Island , but were soon driveri : back with the lusso ' eight men . . From the same source we learn that a , Vessel
which passed down the Niagara river on Sunday was * tired into when opposite Navy Island , . and entirely blown to . pieces . Another vessel , which psisoO'd down fort Erie on Tuesday morning , would probably slvare the siinie fate . We auiiex the following extract from the above-mentioned letter : — " Six hundred . men .. ' were sent upon Grand Island last night as a guard ,-who are to be relieved by . an equal number from here tp-niglit ; About 3 , 000 = men have been under arias in this city to-day , and additional I'egiinents are constantly- arriving .

We understand that a snow ^ haying oil board-a t \ verity-four pounder , belonging , to the British force at Chippewa , was sunk yesterday afternoon , by a shot Irom Navy . Island , in the river , a little aboV » the mouth of Chippewa Creek .

( From the Buffalo Advertiser , January' 3 . J THE SEAT OF WAR . We have nothing new from the enrhp at Navy Island . General Van Rensselaer . came up last night , and left town this jtqoniing .
