Moudoy MorniuK, Jan. 29-
CANADA.
We give ail the information we have received
in reference to the movements in Canada. It will
ho seen that the expedition of the patriots against
Malden has been defeated and all their arms ta
ken. The Provincial Parliament of Upper Can
ada is now in session, and from lone and temper
of the speech of the Allorncy General wo judge
that the best sort of feeling towards the United
Stales does not animate t..at body. We shall
publish tomor-uw some extracts from this speech
to let our readers see how magnificently this man
speaks about us.
It is reported that Capt. M. C. Perry has been
offered the command of the Exploring Expedi
tion. It is -aid he will decline.
The Legislature of the province of New Bruns
wick have passed resolutions returning thanks, in
tehalfof the province, to Sir Francis Head, aad
the militia ot Upper Canada, for their able,
prompt, and energetic suppression of the insur
,S rection which lately took place in the neighbor
hood of Toronto.
Resioxatiox or Sin Fuamcis Hkad.—The
Kingston Chronicle extra, of the Iblh, contains
a special message from Sir Frincis liead, official
ly announcing his resignation, and the appoint
ment of Col. Arthur as his successor.
It is noted in the New York Star, aS a very
remarkable fact, that the steamboats were Still
plying on the Hudson River bfitw'ceh Now York
and Albany, on the twenty-second day of Janua
ry—the depth of Winter. Fears are also expres
sed that there will be a great scarcity oficc neltl
Summer, unless the weather becdihcs much cold
er, of which, indeed, there is no prospdtt at pres
ent.
We copy the following from the Etjjfcsi slip
from the office of the N. Y. Commercial Adver
tiser of Jan. 24th.
An Albany paper givtts ac one of tHfe tUmois
afloat upon Canadian rtlttltSrs;
That fresh disturbances Ddvte broltfcH but Hbttr
Toronto; that city has been again dlahilfed; aHd
the patriots and loyalists had come in contact, in
which the latter bad been obliged to retreat, until
met and supported by a detachment of artillery,
when the patriots were ill Him compelled to fly.
This report comes through Variotls sources, and
with so little variation, as to render it probable
that there is some foundation for it.
From the Kingston Herald Jan. 1(5.
The Traveller also brings the accounts Ufa
gallant action at Amherslburgh. A gang of pi
rates robbed the arsenal at Detroit, loaded a
schooner with the spoils, and sailed to Amhersl
burgh, and fired on the town
The inhabi ants had no arms, but they collect
ed in the night armed with pitchforks, and w hat
ever came to hand ; they then attacked and cap
tured the schooner, killing one man. and taking
13 prisoners, with 409 stand of arms, 3 cannon,
and a large supply of the munitions of war.
Thus in every quarter defeat and ruin wait an the
rebels and pirates.
Since the above was in type, says the Com-
V raercial we have received the Hamilton Gazette,
from which we copy the following;
By Express from Malden. '
Office of the Herald, ?
Sandwich, Jan. 10, 1838, 6 o’clock ax.)
Lieut. Wright anived by express, bringing the
satisfactory intelligence of the capture of a rebel
schooner, without the loss of a man, on our side,
with three pieces of canrton and twenty prisoners;
among the number, a Dr; Thcller, of notorious
memory.
The number of rebels killed not ascertained.
At 3 o’clock this precisely, our line church bell
sounded an alarm. Every mail Wats at his post
in five minutes.
The old, the young, the strong, the weak,
every man who ceuld raise A gun or pistol, join
ed the ranks along the shore, and coolly awaited
the attack of a steamboat, which lay olt the
opposite side of the river, filled with armed men.
But it seemed such was ndt their Intention,
for after giving three voc ftrOuS cheers, the steam
ers bow was turned down stream, and was soon
out of sight.
From the .peculiar run of the bolt, *e are al
most certain it was the Erie which has thus far

FUOMOUII COIItIKSPOXIIKXT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 34, 1838.
When I closed my Express letter yesterday
the House was still discussing, in the Committee
oflhe Wh le.tho bill reported by the Committee
k of Ways and Means, making an appropriation of
a million of dollars for the suppression of Indian
hostilities.
The debate was continued until a late hour.
Mr. EVERETT, of Vermont, recommended
the trial of a more pacificatory course than had
hitherto been adopted. He was not for yielding,
but he was altogether opposed to any further
prosecution of the war.
Mr. DELL, of Tennossc, spoke with groat
spirit and force. He reminded the House of
what he had stated at the outset of the debate ; '
that ho thought there was an immediate necessi
ty for this appropriation; and repelled the charge 1
of Mr. Downing, of Florida, that the fault of
the prolongation of the Florida war rested with 1
certain members of the opposition, who had gone '
again* l the appropriations proposed by the gov
ernment. Mr. Bell maintained that the opposi- f
lion generally had supported all the appropria- ‘
t lions asked for. He also protested against the
attempts of the supporter* of the administration 1
f>! to bold up him and his friends as identified with 1
those who now arc alledged to manifest undue
sympathy for the “red min,” UeV.V'.'tsc rhey urged
for inquiring into the mismanagement of the
admisliatioli. He again repeated his wish that
the appropriation should pass.
After some remarks from Mesars. Robertson,
of Va„ and Cambreling, of N. Y., the committee
rose without taking any question, and the House
adjourned.
Afret the reading of the journal this morning,
the House again went into the Committee of the
Whole oil llils bill, and the question bring on
the adoption 'df the amendment of Mr. Wise, to
teduce the ainouhl appropriated from one million
to five hundred thousand dollars.
Mr. BIDDLE, of PDnnd rose ami replied to
■£ 1
the remorks made yesterday by Mr. Downing, of
Florida. With regard to this appropriation he
sAid he would not be driven by this clamour
for appropriations to support this hill, beforrwin
formalion was given of tho nlaniicr in wllifcli
former grants of money had been expended.-
Ho went at length into a review of the clr.
cumstat,ccs of the >Vdr, add inveighed in
strong terms against t o conduct of the
Administration both in the management of
the war, and the iteatment of the Indians. Hb
paid a (lowing and eloquent tiihnte to the milita
ry character and heroism of General Scott; and
commented with much severity on General Jes
sup's treatment of that distinguished officer,
Mr. UNDERWOOD, followed. He said he
would vote for this appropriation, because he
deemed it necessary to the exigencies of the terri
tory of Florida. He then went into some gener
al remarks on the charocler of the Wa,, and the
conduct of the Administration, which he said
called for inquiry. But he would appropriate
first and enquire afterwards.
Uen. Glascock next took the floor; and made
an animated speech in defence of the measure
under consideration.
He was followed by Mr. BYNUM ofN. C. in
suppultdf the original appropriation. Alter a
few words from Mr. Pope of Ky ; the queslion
was token on Mr. Wise’s amendment which was
rejected. This bill was then laid aside; and the
Committee took Up the bill appropriating, six
hlimltcd thousand, for the protection of the Nor
thern Frontier, the cUmnmtee then rose and ap
propriated both the oills without amendment'
The house then by a large majority ordered bolti
bills to be engrossed and read a third time and
afterwards finally passed tbetti both.
In the deilJtd ui-dtly tbo chair presented a se
ries of resolutions adopted at a public meeting of
citizens of Georgetown in the District of Colum
bia, Ibmonstraiing against tile suppression of
notes under five dollars and not under onu dol

Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank of Georgetown
might bercchartered; and renionstraliilg Agama'

lion in Congress; and also against the proceed

The Senate passed Mr. Grundy’s bill for pro.
tecting passengers in vessels propelled by eteanr
and also the bill authorising certain persons to
make eXpbriitibiits for the purpose of testing the
strong h and durability of steamboat boilers-.
Mr. BENTON, then callbd up the bill reported
by the military Committee fur an increase of tho
Army. After some discussion the bill was or
dered to a third reading, without any important
amendments, M.

MAIL ROBBERY'.
By a note received from Mobile, we learn (bat
the great eastern Mail was robbed on the 19th
about a mile ami a ball above Stockton, which is
22 miles from Blakely, on the opposite side of
, the Mobile river. The mail bags which have
been lost contain the New Orleans mails of the
1 Till and 18th instant. The driver was savage
ly murdered, ami as yet not a trice can he fount!
of the mads, or of this mtlrdcfeis. Thti grtilest
excitement prevailed in the neighborhood of the
a rocious deed, and from its proximity to a set
tlement like Stockton, some hopes are entertain
ed that the butchers may he eventually brought
to justics.
The following is the letter received by onr post
master announcing the fact.
•'Miiiiick. J.vrr. 21, 1838.
“Dear sir: On the evening of the I Dili inst.
the great mail hence eastward was robbed about
a mile ami a half from Stockton, and the driver
murdered. Yout mails eastward of the 17th
and 18th were in the bags. No discriplion or
trace of the vill rins has as yet been discovered.

From the N. V Commercial Arie. Jan. 23.
FROM TkE FRONTIER,
f The Wr stern mails of yesterday (two from
Buffalo) brought us nothing material.
The destination of the patriot forces dobs riot
appear to he distinctly kmJrfui, dr tit least not de
finitely slated.
The general belief was that they had taken
passage up the lake, in steamboats, fur Amburst
burg. below Malden, where the report is lh.it Hie
patriots afe in force 1000 strong.
The latter feipdrt is tiot to he credited. It is
said that all except 20 of the Navy Islanders
preferred to follow the fortunes of Van Renssela
er and Mackenzie.
“Thßfe is a rllltior in tdwH (s-Jyd thb Buttalo

head of the lake, with 150 patriots and 4 pieces

oners Were probably the Cleveland volunteers,
But Wb very md6h doubt the story altogether 1 ”
We nd the following item in the flocltporl
.Daily Bulletin—
It is reported that the patriots have a force of
1000 on an Island opposite the village of Am
herslburgh, a little below Malden, and that the
citizens of Amhcrstburgh have burned that vil
lage to keep it out of the hands of the patriots,
and re reated into the interior.
Buffalo, Jan. 17 — It is reported that General
Van Rensselaer left town last evening for Alba
ny. We believe that he has left this city, but
have our doubts as 'obis going eastwatd.
From the Albany Advertiser of yesterday.
Many rumors are afloat, among them the fol
lowing:—
1, That fresh disturbances have broken out
near Toronto; that city had been again alarmed,
and the patriots and loyalists had come in con
tact, in which the latter had been obliged to re
treat, until met and supported by a detachment
ofartillery, when the patriots were in turn com
pelled to tty.— This report comes through vari
ous, and with so little variation, as to render it
probable that there is some-foundation for if
From the Toronto Patriot of Jan. 11,
This day, at 4 o’clock, his Excellency came
down to the House, and gave tho royal sanction
to the bill for the suspension of the habeascorpus
act, and the hill for Hying foreigners taken in
arms by court martial,
Fran the Baltimore American.
Respecting :he late events which has oc
eftrred in connection with the Exploring Ex
pedition, the Washington correspondent of
the New York Courier writes as follows.
Until yesterday, 1 supposed that the ques
tion in relation to .he Exploring Expedition,
was, in a great measure) added, but it seems
mat all is again in the wind. 1 will givb
you a bird’s-eye view of the affair as it now
stands, and the movements that preceded
dial of Thursday the 10th. Having done this,
f am inclined to promise that I will never
write another line respecting it.
On the 18lh Dec. 18.37, Commodores Hull
and Biddle, and Capt. Aulic, in ptlrsdihce of
orders from tile Navy Department, attended
in this city, and formed a board to inquire into
and report on llie subject of this expedition.
On the 25th December they reported, as
their opinion, that suitable vessels to form
such a squadron, would he a sloop ol war
with about one hundred and thiry men; two
brigs of 300 to 350 tons each, manned with
55 or 60 men, and one ship of about 400 tons.
On the 3d of January, 1833, Capt. Kearney
was appointed to the command of the squad
ron, instructed to report himself to Commo
dore Kidgely for that service,and tb make such
representations to the Navy Department, in
relation to the matter, as he deemed necessary,
lie repaired to Washington, and finding that
a frigate was not to he attached to the -tjuad
mn, he urged the necessity ot at large merch
ant ship in lieu of one of the brigs, recom
mended by the board of which Commodore
Hull was president. Not only was this refus
ed, but the force of the squadron was reduced
even below that suggested by the board
On the 17tb instant it seemed to be definite
ly settled, that the squadron should consist of;
a si cup of war - the store ship Relief, one of
the blips, and the schooner Active. In the
Opinion ofC plain Kearney, and those officers
with whom the consulted, it was impossible
to carry out the proposed scientific corps,
with all their baggage, unless in addition to
one of die brigs, lie was allowed a large mer
ch .nl ship; besides the four vessels proposed
to be sent, were of such different properties,
as to sailing, that they would inevitably sep
arate in a heavy g-Ate of wind.
On the morning of the 18th, therefore,
Capt Kearney resigned his command of the
squadron, which resignation, during the same 1
day was accepted, and now the whole matter
is again in the hands of the Secretary. All '
the young and enterprising officers that had
cmtVirltca with Capt. Kearney, will also, I 1
presume, retire from the expedition, and
every thing must be commenced de novo, at a I
moment when it was thought the squadron
would be immediately fitted for sea.—Tints
much for tltc Exploring Expedition.

L I! three years or more, before he left. lie
was going to school at Col. Osborn's. Have
seen prisoner a few moments, and think him
from Irs countenance, to be Btipklcy, Hu
fovors the Blatter family very much. Three
gentlemen came to my house last Baturdty
week, and when prisoner lit oft’his horse, I
look him to be MrSlatlcr. After they conic
in and sat a while, prisoner spilled; and I said
his countenance looked familiar; and if it was
not for his whiskers, he would do very well
forJ LB. One of the Gentlemen asked me
if I knew him; and said this is the man that
passes for J LB. I thought then 1 knew him
from his favor and countenance.
Cross-examined—l first look him to be
Mr Shade Blatter, when he rode up and got
off Ins horse. Have not seen Mr. Blotter in
some lime,to notice whether he had whiskers.

know him till the gentleman spoke of him.

and ti-'l he went away; Knew his uncles,

Cross-examined—Can’t, gay I remember
enough ol Bunkley’s features to say whether

Blatters; J L B and myself had a little gun

lect it very distinctly. * * * *
o"ith Vy ovxis—Joseph Sldllwdrfh —Knew
J L 1! by favor, some little tune, two or three
years; we had no acquaintance. The last
time 1 saw him was on a mule, bare back,
with two other boys behind him; this was a
few weeks before lie went away; from favor,
walk and actions, 1 believe prisoner to be
Bunklcy.
Cross.exam ned.—l only knew JI, B by
eye-siglit; no particular acquaintance. Was
asked if 1 would know J LB if i saw Inin;
said no; and prisoner was passing; and I sa d
there ho is now; and was told ho was the
man Unit passed for J LB.

Knew J L B always, from the time he came
here till be went away; know him well; pns.
oner has the same eye; the same turn, and
1 tin same walk. Have noticed him, and seen
the same tricks he hud when a boy.
Cross-examined. —Prisoner’s face is little
longer than Binikley's used lobe; has the
same eye; hair was about the co.or of Mr.
Hardeman's,when he went away.

Cross-e'xamined.— Knew E D in 1824, or

I was elected Captain; was not a much lower J
