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.

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 lar in this Disiribl; —expressing a wish Dial the Farmers and Mechanics’ Bank of Georgetown might bercchartered; and renionstraliilg Agama' the agitation of the subject of slavery and aboli" lion in Congress; and also against the proceed ings of the AbolltldnUtS In interfering with their rights and properly: 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. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25th, 1838. In the House of Representatives, to-day, Mr. WISE from the select committee, which, on his motion, was raised in reference to the appoint ment of members of Congress to office, reported a joint resolution, proposing an amendment to tho Constitution, which shall prohibit the Exec utive from nominating or appointing any Senator or Rcpiesentative in Congress, to office, during thetefrn Df his service; arid for two years there after. This icsulutiun was adopted unanimously by the select committee. On motion of Mt. WISE, tho resolution was read twice; referred to the committee of the whole, and ordered to be printed. The resolution offered by Mr. Cushing of Mass., authorizing the President of the United States to open a negociation with Denmark, in leference to three prizes taken by John Paul Jones, was adopted. Our country is going the rounds of all the courts in Europe, demanding reparation and indemnities. It is right, Mr. HOWARD, from the committee on For. ctgn Affairs, reported the Senate Bill, for enforc ing llte observance of our neutral obligations with an amendment; which does hoi, in'any de gree, alfecl the principle of the measure ’flu.- Bill undoubtedly will be passed by the House. Mr. BOULDIN, from the com niitlee on th District of Columbia, reported the Bill which has passed the Senate, restricting Lite circulation of small notes in this district. Ms. JENIFER, of Ml), gave notice that he would offer a series of amendments to this mea sure, when it should he brought up. These omenilments were ordeted to be printed, and, both the kill and the amendments were referred to the committee on the whole. Mr. JENIFER also introduced a Bill author* izi g the managers and other officers of the Washington Monument Society, to erect a Mon ument to the immortal “FATnr.it or ms Cod.v tnt,’, on the public walk in ibis city. The House then proceeded to the considera tion of the Mississippi Ejection case, and Mr Foster again took the floor: and finished his four daja speech, in support of the claims of tho sitting member*. Mr. PENNYBACKER then rose; ami was speaking on the same side, when this packet was closed. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. CLAY presented a memorial from citizens of Philadelphia, praying Congress to cause tho frigate Raritan at the, place to be completed, in order to give employ ment to those laborers who had been discharged from the Philadelphia Navy Van!. Mr. ALL&N presented a number of petitions from Ohio, for the Abolition of Slavery in life bis* trict o? Columbia, and memorials remonstrating against me annexation of Texas to the Union’ He also presented a memorial from ci titan a ot the same State, asking that the (leneral Govern 'l* I j | trent should take the proper steps for obtaining reparation and redtess from the LlHtish Govern ment, fur the destruction of the steamboat Curo- I'rie: and also remonstrating against the passage of the Neutrality Bill, whi h has already passed the Senate, and is now before the House : and Jjrolesling ngitinsl some alleged interposition of the British bovterhmetll in the relations between this country Mitel Mexico. The memorial Was .e -ferred to the committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. NILES from U'diin. ottered a memorial re ihoiirMreiing against the passage of tiny interna tional law of copy-right.

M. From tin N U I rue American , Jan. 22. 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. Yours respectfully, SAM'L FRY, Ail. P. M. W. H. Kcr, Esq. ■ .i '• t 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 Commercial Advertiser of the 17th) llnita schoon er has been taken by the Canadians, near the head of the lake, with 150 patriots and 4 pieces •f cannon on hoard. If true, the nten taken pris 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.
