are many,very many Canadians who under

The Carfadian horses are a fine race of
animals, very hardy, sagacious, and strong,
carrying immense loads. Each driver has
generally two horses and carts, and fre
quently three in charge, and merely guid
ing the first the rest follow, however loaded
they may be. Another beast of burthen
here is the dog, of which there are many
who are harnessed to small two wheeled
carta, and obliged to draw wonderful loads,
considering the size of the animal. When
tired they.lay down between the shafts and
rest. They are very few gigs or coaches
used; instead of which they have a vehicle
with two wheels resembling our chair, with
monstrous springs or suspenders, with a
seat in front for two persons, generally with
out a top; and it is astonishing with what
apparent ease these ponies draw these ma
chines with four persona in them.
I was surprised at the number of beg
gars in the street, and upon enquiry found
there was no provision , made by the city for
the poor; many of them were blind and
decrepid.

the former, we passed thcateam boat Her
cules, of 100 horse power, with three large
schooners in tow, for Montreal, having one
on each aide, and one at the stern. For!
some miles above Quebec, the banks be-!
come high and precipitous, gradually rising
until they attain their greatest height, at 1
Quebec. At 12 o’clock on the 31st we ar
rived, having performed the passage in 26
hours, including 5 hours stoppage. For se
veral miles above, the she re is covered with
rafts of timber, along which I counted 80
square rigged vessels loading, with it, and
was afterwards told that the harbor was un
usually bare of shipping, head winds pre
venting a number below from coming up,
and the fall vessels not having arrived.
We landed in the lower town nearly op
posite Mountain-Street, the (scent to the
upper. The river once it is said, washed
the foot of the immense rock on which
the upper town ia built, and the lower has
been gradually filled out and built upon, to
large proportion of the other business ofthe
place, ia done here, below All the timber
vessels load in the stream and seldom coff’e
to the wharves except to repair. The hou
ses gfibeiAlly, particularly in the lower
town, are high and gloomy, built of atone,
with atoep roofs to carry of the snow.
Mountain-street, the ascent lo the upper
town is quite steep and requires some effort
to gat up, though the Canadian horses with
heavy loads do not appor to sutler much
either in ascending or deocending. At the
head of it, in the city wall, ia the Prescott

being detailed, the rest paraded with side
arms only. Their ceremonies were similar
to ours, but the men I suppose were unused
to act on occasions like this, for awkward
ness was exhibited in the performance of
certain motions, which I did not expect
from men so. well drilled otherwise. A
Scotch Regiment, the 71st, who formerly
wore their national costume but now wear
the British light infantry uniform, has at

this occasion, appeared in their full dross,
with their pipes gaily decorated, but under
a covering of crape.

Co**.—The New-Orleans papain of tha
3d inst. assert that from the information re
cently received through a gentlemA from
Mexico, there can be no longer any doubt
a* o the intention of the government of
that republic to invade Cuba. Three thou
sand troop# were assembled at Csmpeacby
about the 1st of Aug. and 10,000mure were
expected, when.these united forces were to
cross the narrow channel that separatee
Yucatan from Cuba. To iniure a superi
ority to the Mexican flag in the Gulf, the
Asia 74, and several frigates and aloops of
war had been placed under thp command of
Capt. Cochrane, and it was calculated that
the debarkment of 12 or 13,000 disciplined
troops, witfi the aid to be expected from
some of the Creoles, would be sufficient to
wrest Cuba from the Spaniards.

ed, be has been Compelled to retreat, and
that the Greeks maintained the superiority
at sea.
The report that Lord Cochrane had been
induced to espouse the Greek cause, turns
out to have been well founded. After sev
eral interviews with the Greek committeo,
they are stated to have resolved on advanc
ing £3000 sterling for the purpose of fitting
out an expedition undqr hie Lordship’s com
mand, and of which he is to hays the entire
controul. The number of men to nccompa-
