Clinch Ritleinen.
This is the name of a new volunteer corps re
cently formed in this city, and on Saturday last
they made their first parade in our streets, under
the command of (’apt. E. Starnes. They number
ed about eighty strong, and made a fine appear
ance ; their dress is simple but very neat, and well
suited for Riflemen. Had the old General, after
whom they are named, witnessed their evolutions,
he would have wished for no better soldiers than
the Clinch Riflemen and Richmond Blues to back
him while in Florida.
We arc glad to soe a military feeling again
springing up in our city, and hope, ere long to
sec just such another company us the Clinch Ri
flemen added to our regiment. There are mate
rials suflieient for forming half a dozen such com
panies in this city, if such of our inhabitants, whose
interest it is to have well disciplined soldiers in
our city to protect their properly in times of dan
ger, would come forward and follow the worthy
example set them by the members of the Clinch
Riflemen, Augusta Guards and Richmond Blues.
Arrival of Ike Steam ship Gre at W esleru.
Nineteen days later from Europe.
The steam packet Great Western, Lieutenant
Hosken, arrived at New' York on Thursday morn
ing, the 15th inst., bringing London papers to the
evening of Oct. 26th, and Liverpool to the 27th,
nineteen days later than before received,
Tho annexed are extracts from the New York
slips of that date.
The Great Western had a very boisterous pas
sage, and at one time the storm was so violent
that she was compelled to “lay to - ’ for six hours.
Her outward passage was made in twelve days
and ten hours.
The steam packet Liverpool sailed from Liver
pool on the 20th October, agreeably to announce
ment. Her non arrival of course creates some
uneasiness in New York, but the presumption is
that her supply of coal proved delieient, and that,
finding this to be the case, she either steered for
sonic nearer port, or is making the best of her
way to New York with no other propelling power
than her sails.
The Liverpool was seen on the 21st at 8 A. M.
with her engine stopped, and blowing oil - her
steam. She was seen again on the same morning
at 11 A. M.—Tuskar bearing W. N. W. distant
about nine miles, going at between 9 and 10 knots
an hour, against a strong head wind and sea.
It was reported that a short extra session of
Parliament would be immediately held, in conse
quence of Lord Durham’s resignation, of which
intelligence was carried out by the Great Western.
In relation to Canada, the Sun of the evening
of the 26th remarks:—“The arrival of the Liv
erpool packet ship George Washington, and the
London packet ship Wellington—is looked for
with great anxiety, as it is generally expected that
they will bring some important information from
Canada; and, as the wind has continued blowing
from the westward for those three days past, we
may expect to hear of the arrival of one of them
to-morrow.”
Despatches from the British government for
Lord Durham were sent oil" by the steamer Liver
pool—they were answers to those sent out by the
Great Western.
The prices of American Stocks are quoted in
London just as on the 7th.
The Duke of Devonshire has given up his
claim to about £20,000 arrears of tithes, due to
him as lay improprictor of certain parishes in

Intelligence has been received in London, of
the death of Sir Robert Grant, governor of Bom
bay.
'l’lie nows from Spain was still unfavorable for
the Queen. Pardinas, one of her generals, had
sustained a severe defeat from Cab. era, who had j
also collected an immense amount of booty with
which he was slowly retiring to rejoin the main
army of the Carlists.
General Alaix lias been appointed minister of
war. Espartero was at Logrono, making no
movement, Don Carlos at Elorrio, and his general
in chief Marato at Estella.
These letters also say that the British and Turk- j
ish fleets bad united and repaired to the entrance |
of the Dardanelles; and it was believed that they :
| would pass into the Black Hea, t« watch the pro- !
ceedings of the Russians.
The London Courier says:—
There is a very strong and general impress!m I
in the commercial circles that the French blockade I
" *' 1 li'aw
of Mexico is about to lie brought to a close. Mr.
Pukenham the British Charge d'AHaires, is about
to return to Mexico, and it is understood that the
blockade is not to last very long after his arrival
there.
An arrangement has lieen oficeted between the
1 urkish ami Egyptian governments, through the
intervention of England, by which the difficulties
heretofore existing between the Bultan and Me
hemet Ali have been adjusted; and what is more
important, the influence of England with the
Porte has been greatly strengthened by the opera
tion, and that of Russia proportionality diminish
ed- In connexion with this subject, and the af
fairs ot Persia and India, there arc rumors of an
approaching war between Russia and England.
3 bat Russia is making extensive military prepa
rations in the Southern Provinces of that Empire,
is abundantly confirmed,—but they may be, and
probably are, intended only for the more vigorous
prosecution ol the war against the Circassians.
A division of Spanish government troops under
Gen. Pardinas, Were sadly cut up on the Ist of

A French fleet was about to proceed to Buenos

As u fair account of the state of the cotton and

! to your numerous readers at the present period, I
| have been at some pains to procure you the best
i information to be had with respect to them, and
; have accordingly enclosed you a number of first
| rate circulars, published this afternoon by the most
j eminent brokers, which 1 have no doubt will be
1 very ar
\ on will perceive that the rapid advance which
took place in cotton, prior to the sailing of tho
Liver|K>ol mid a few days later, lias not only not
been sustained, but that prices are actually as low
as they were. There arc various opinions afloat
as to the cause of the rise, and so far as I can as
certain it, it appears to have been owing to the un
natural impulse given to prices in America by
the United States Bank, by which our prices here
were aflccted. According to what I can hear,
Humphreys <St Biddle have not sold more than
1000 bales, during the week. By a circular which
I have seen from Havre, it iqqiears that the rise
in our market has hud an improving tendency
there—the sales on Monday, 22d inst. having
been 1818 boles in an advance of 2 lo 3 centimes,
Prices rule there for American cotton generally,
liom 85 franca to 104 francs 50 killogrtms.

Highly Important from fa mum—Rout of

M e have received highly important intelligence
this morning from Canada. Annexed will be

the entire overthrow of the Patriots by the British,
the recapture of Mr. Ellice and all tire other ea;>-

received by the British Consul in this ciiy :

—I am directed by His Excellency (Sir John
Colborno to acquaint you that the rebels who had
assembled in the district of Montreal, have been

Montrkai, Nov. 12.
On Friday last, intelligence reached here of the
volunteers at Lneolle Old Steam Mill, having gal
lantly defeated, on the morning of the 6th inst. a
body of rebels, who intended to lake possession of
that post. But, before proceeding to give the pnr
i tieuhim of this victory, wc shall state a few cir
cumstances, which have reached us through au
t thentic sources, that will put our readers in pos
session, so far, of the rebels plans, and enable them
to judge how completely frustrated these have
been. Notwithstanding all that has been said of
vast quantities ol arms and ammunition having
been smuggled into the province during the sum
mer, by the rcliels, it appears that their grand sup
ply and a solitary six pounder had been shipped
on board a schooner, which was anchored in the
hay at Rouse’s Point, on the evening of tho sth,
This bay is close upon the lines, asul it was deem
-5 ed a matter of easy accomplishment to open up a
communication through Lacolle and Odlctown,
so that the arms and ammunition on board the
•, schooner could be conveyed, without risk of cap
ture, to the Head-Quarters at Napicrville and dis
tributed to the Kras couloHes of the interior. 'Po
Cote and Gagnon was entrusted the enterprise of
driving the Loyalists from Lacolle. ami with this
„ Object, leaders bad conveyed across the river,
. from Caldwell's Manor and Aldburg, a force ac
cording to their own estimate, as about 400 men,
ylm were quartered during the night ol LaC sth,
in some houses on the road running parallel with
the Lake, one mile west, and hud a large quanti
ty ol arms in a house not 50 rods from the lines.
After these preparations had been completed,
- Cote and Gagnon, who were afraid to trust them
selves for a night in Canada with their redoubt
able force, returned to the village at Rouse's Point,
through which they rode with all the importance
of conquering generals. About 9 o'clvck next
morning, (Tuesday,) Cote was seen wending bis
way through the village towards the lines, leading
his rusinunte, and in an hour afterwards the at
tack commenced on the loyalists at Lacolle Old
(Steam Mill, which ended in the complete route of
the assailants. At first, the rebels succeeded in
driving in the picket of tlie volunteers, but not
without such loss hh damped their ardor to ad
vance, mid thus allowed lime for Colonel Odell,
who commanded, to obtain a reinforcement from
Major SeJiriver. When this arrived, from being
the attacked,.the. volunteers became the attacking
party, and gallantly charged the rebels in the face
of their six pounder, which was discharged three
times, but apparently without effert. The defeat
of the rebels was complete, and they left in the
hands of the victors their piece of cannon, 25(1
stand of arms and a quantity of ammunition;
eight of them were made prisoners, eleven killed,
and a number besides wounded, who escaped
across the lines. We are told of one Yankee
sympathiser having rode home with a ball in the
hack of his neck, and of others who got and saw
quite enough to cool their sympathies. One of
the prisoners, of the name of Elliott, quite a young
man, who was at one time a student with Dr.
Nelson, was badly wounded, and was carried off
in the course of the day by Mr. Morehouse, of
Plattsburgh, to obtain for him medical aid, wheth
er with or without the permission of the captors,
wc know not. It is to be regretted that two of
the volunteers were killed and two wounded.—
We understand that Captains March, Wtldcn
and Fisher, with their companies of volunteers
partook in the above engagement, which reflects
the highest credit on both officers and men.
As tho firing was distinctly heard ot Rouse’s
Point, and it was not long before the defeated
rebels were seen making towards the lines, the
small United States force, some 30 men, station
ed them, turned out to prevent any violation of
the neutrality, and picked up 75 muskets which
the rofugr es droppi d on entering the United States
territory. The same parly' seized also the vessel
with tin rebel munitions of war, consisting of
ammunition and cannon balls. Wc are told that
the defeated dupes were seen sneaking through
the village in small squads. terribly chop-fallen,
and that they very soon afterwards took them
selves off south.
Although Cote and his crew had been com
pletely foiled in the attempt to open up a free
communication between the Lines and Napier
ville, this w as an object that too nearly concerned
the pe.s >nal safety of Nelson and the other lead
ers, to be abandoned in consequence of one defeat,
and therefore he advanced from Nupiervillo on
the morning of the 9lh, with 800 men provided
with fire-arum, and 200 armed with swords and
long pikes, upon Odclltown, which could muster
about 200 volunteers, although we are assured
not more than 150 were in the action we are
about to relate. Most providentially Colonel
Taylor reached Odclltown in time to take the
command of this little baud of Volunteers; and,
as he himself has given an account of the affair
in u despatch which he wrote immediately after,
we shall allow him to speak first, and shall add
what particulars he has omitted that have come to
our knowledge:—
Odelltown, Nov. 9, 1838.
•Sin—l have tho honor and the satisfaction to
report to you, for tho information of His Excel
lency the Commander of the Forces, the success
ful result of an affair with the rebel*, which took
place this morning. The insurgents mustered
one thousand strong, under the personal command
Dr. Nelson. They attacked my advanced guard
at Captain Weldon's at about a quarter lo 11 A.
M., upon which, I immediately directed (lie con
centration upon Odelltown Church, of the small
force ol 200 men, under my command.
The enemy extended around us, and kept up
a sharp fire, which waa an sharply answered. Af
ter an action of about two hours and a half, du
ring which several brilliant sallies were made by
the V olunteorn, the insurgents retreated, leaving
fifty dead and currying off several wounded.
I regret to say that ('upturn M'Alllstrr and four
men have fallen, and that Lieutenant Odell and
nine men have been wounded—none of the lat
ter however, are seriously injured.
When I arrived at Caldwell's Manor, at day
break, I learnt the great disparity of force which
existed ; I heard, also, that the loyalists were
much worn out by constant watching, and harass
ing duly. I, accordingly, wrote Captain Grattan
at the Isle an Noix, asking him if he could, con
sistently with the safely ol flu* Fort, give me any
aid. 3 hat ofltcer promptly replied, by earning in
person with » detachment, but unfortunately he
reached Odelltown, too laic to participate in the
engagement,
A reinforcement Irani Ileniiiiiiigford; undci
Major Schriver, arrived also after the retreat of
the rebels.
It is my intention to advance and take up a
new position at Laeoll to-morrow morning.
After the above plain recital of events, it were
needless for me to say, that I have every reason
to speak in the highest terms of approbation of the
gallantry and conduct of the Volunteers under
tuy orders. I have die honour to lie. Hfr. your
most obedient humble servant,
