A
Out columns of this week will be
£)und to contain some intefesting ar
ticles of news from different quar
ters. It would appear that reinforce
incuts to a large amount are arriving
at Quebec* and proceeding up the
country* to the aid of Gen. Kiall a-
M gainst Gen. Brown, and to other pla
ces. Gen. Brown’s situation is be
coming critical Sc hazardous With
out reinforcements, and Without the
speedy and effectual co-operation of
f the fleet under Com*.Qiau-ncey, the
the late victory at Chippe
tray may be lost y v ”
If, the enemy’s fleet be out, as it Is
reported,sanguinary conflict be
tween Chauncey and Yeo, may soon
be expected, ‘ the result of which
will be all important to bbtft belli
gerent, and will determine, for a
while at le,ast, the fate of the war
ijU Upper Canada.
We learn from passengers in the
Steam Boat Pakagon, arrived this
forenoon from Albany, that on Mon
day last, the British squadron, under
Bii James Yeo, was oif Sachet’s Har
bor, waiting-fo/* Commodore Ghaun*
<jey to rooie out.— tWo schooners
with troops which had been sent to
reinforce General Brown’s army were
chased back to the harbor by the
enemy.
v ! Three thousand troops had embark
•d at Montreal, to • reinforce Gen.
Rial Tat Niagara.
Oc ncrul Izard’s situation at Chazy,
is aaid to be critical. He had sent
all his heavy baggage to Whitehall,
bead of Lake Champlain,
Letters dated at Sackett’s Harbor,
<Sn Monday, states that Commodore
Chauntey was to sail the next day *
but are silent as to the appearance
of Sir James off that place. There
fore, if the above verbal account ris
Orue, it must have come by some
oonveyatiee later than the mail.
Amongst the passengers ‘in the
Steam Boat, are M. Hush of Phila
delphia, and sister. They are direct
from Montreal, Mr. R. saw the
troops embark at Montreal.:

A gentleman wiio left the harbor
Monday morning, informs me,
tihaVon Saturday, 300 riflemen left

voyed by two brigs. On Sunday the
riflemen were compelled, by hard /
* Weather to land upon Stoney-Islandb
and the brigs returned to the Harbor| ‘
and that on Monday morning, as thh
stage left the Harbor, a firing was

Bfcat Wharft at tha north end oftthe
battery where I vvitnesseda most plea

the steam boat for Chester Pennsyl

by his gallant tars, who evinced an
attachment to him, that could not
fail to touch the feelings of every
observer* He took each of them by
the hand and bid an affefctionate fare
well }, then entered on board the
boat and set sail amid the . acclama

tators. He has gone to his home
to gladden the hearts of his family.

any previously received. With the
exception of “ The Times,” they are
generally silent on matters connected

despatches from Viscount Castle

on Friday. The return of his Lord
ship is not known, nor is the depar

Emperor of Germany, as near at

surprise that several notorious adher

that Spain had declared toar against

| “ I hasten to inform you that what
I I anticipated relative to the hostility
Los tfte Crack Indians, is but too soon
I realised. I was last evening called
’ to visit a man of the name of Rabun.
Who was fired on arid wounded with
two* balls by* a party oTlndiaris, seven
ipdes below this place. JHe is. not
“‘dangerously wounded. After, this
man escaped by outstripping them,
they proceeded t b a poor man’s house
close by, from which the family had
just fled, pnd broke and tore every
thing to pieces: This morning on
the ground where Rabun was attack
ed, a red club, which I haVe just
seen, was found, with a number of
emblematical barer-s inscribed on it .*
J > *taong*the rest, there is a represen
tation of seven men in a line of
march, and a musket with a bayonet
fixed.'—These lead to the opinion,
* that there were seven men in thi
party, though Rabun saw but three,
and that they belong to some town
that has received British muskets.—
There is much alarm and confusion
in this place and neighborhood.’*

IC?* Since the above letter was in
type, we have seen an official letter
from Col: Allen Tooke to his Excel*
lency the Governor relative to this
savage act ; as it differs but little in
substance, we deem the whole of its
insertion unnecessary—After de
scribing the acts of violence com
mitted, he observes—
I have ordered a detachment in
pursuit of them, and should any
thing occur from the expedition, I
will immediately transmit the same
to your excellency with the least pos
sible delay. ‘ y
■ I have also ordered a lieutenant’s
command to Forts Pike, Mite Veil &
