It was however soon discovered, that perhaps 350 then lay concealed in that labyrinth of mountains, who, ns r ion as (lie troops were gone, returned to their old haunts in the valleys.

Vv'e have received by this morning's mail high ly hnpormnt intelligence from our correspondent ’ at Roel.e.stcr, giving an account of mi attempt | made by the Patriots to capture a British vessel in the Amoric.m wat jib at the mouth cf the G-.n --aftr-c river. The following is the daspateh : . RoeitEsiT.it, Nov. 13, 1838. Draii Hi n—l hasten to inform you of a singu lar outrage that occurred at pur city last night.— The British s dir. Caroline, of and for Toronto, Upper Canada, hulca with a valuable cargo of merchandise, cleared lust night, and was to sail early this morning. About midnight site was hoarded by twenty armed men who look posses sion of her sh the name of the Patriot government, confined the ('aptain and erexv below, and attempt ed to navigate the vessel into the lake. From our harbor to the hike in six miles, and not being familiar with the channel, the patriots or pirates got aground near the mouth of the river. Unable to get the vessel oil'the shoal, they abandoned her and took to the woo Is, and have not yet been ar rested. The Captain made a. deposition of the above facts before the proper authorities this af ternoon, and has sailed for Canada. It will pro duce great excitement on the other side; many of our inhabitants fear retaliation. Thus recom mence the outrages that disgraced our frontier last winter. In addition to this intelligence, xve learn from numerous letl ers before us, received from the fron tier, from Buffalo to Ogdensburgli, that all the idle loafers in the interior of the state are concen trating in various points, and that a general onset v>iU he made on the 30 th ins!. The outrage at Rochester is only the first mutteHiags of the thun der. Our correspondents state that the number of idle loafers capable of forming materials to at tack Canada are estimated as follows : Ruffaio and neighborhood, 2000 Niagara, do. 1500 Rochester, do. 3000 Northern frontier, 2,500 Aggregate loafers or patriots, 9,000 From Montreal and Ogdennbnrgh, the intelli gence is tilso alarming. Around the former place (lie insurrection is in progress. .Around Montre al the Patriot forces are routed entirely. The British troops it seems are burning the whole of the infected districts. This conduct will add fu el to the flame. Nothing can stop the erudite, but the vigorous arm of the American government. General Scott, we learn, lias been ordered to (ho Northern frontier. But unfortunately, wl.l! ■ the government is apparently endeavoring to main lain its neutrality, nil its supporters here and on the frontier are actively engaged in fanning the flames. The •“New Era,” the government organ here, says, that “the Patriot cause is the good ctlii-e.” Annexed will be found numerous extracts on the progress of tlie war. To-rnorrow xvc expect numerous despatches from our correspondents from the Upper Canada and Niagara frontier.— Thy entente at Rochester is only the beginning of a long, bloody, black, furious drama. MormtEAt, Nov. 14. Among the prisoners who were taken on the above occasion, was a French Officer, who held the rank of General in the Rebel Army, and who not being such a proficient in the running away tactics of bis fellow-warriors, as they were, his penchant for fighting led to his capture. On learning his rank, Col. Taylor, (old him that lie must not expert, on account of it, any better treatment than the canaille with whom lie had leagued himself, and xvho could not bo regarded as honorable enemies. The name of the French Officer alluded to. is said to lie St. Martinet About 1 o’clock, His Excellency Sir John Col bornc and Stall, landed from the Princess Victo ria. He was enthusiastically cheered by the crowds assembled on the wharves. One prisoner was brought over at the same time, an old habi tant, said to be the murder of the late Mr. Walker. Several American muskets and bayonets were in possession of the soldiers attached to iSir John Coiborhe’s staff. They arc nearly new, a little longer than the Tower muskets, their stock much stronger, and barrels polished. We have not learned the particulars of the number of houses burned, but the current esti mate on this subject, xve are assured, by good au thority, is much over the mark, for Sir John is anxious that the property should be preserved and confiscated afterwards, rather than be destroy ed. Tins would be a very desirable arrange ment, and would stop any more burnings, if the loyalists were convinced that government would confiscate oh a sufficiently extensive scale— Courier. Mr. Charles Duller, late Chief Secretary to the Earl of Durham, arrived in town from Quebec, ou Saturday, afternoon, in the steamer St. George, and xve believe on his way to England. We un derstand, that on board of the St. George, lie as serted that the Canadians were an injured and an oppressed people, and that the so called loyal ists, had caused both this and the first rebellion, by tyrannising over their opponents, and goading them ou to rebellion.— Herald. Fort Covikotox, Nov. 9. “We are all agitation and excitement at this moment. A large boat with a company of U. S. Infantry on board, were deecending the- St. Lawrence yesterday. While passing the mouth of the Rocket river, in our own waters, they were fired upon by the British from an opposite point of land projecting into the channel from Corn wall Island. A sergeant was wounded in the shoulder by a musket ball severely, but. I think not mortally. The ball is to be extracted, if pos sible, tills evening. The company have this mo ment arrived. All communication between this and Montreal, is cut oil’. VVe hoar many reports of hos'ilities, but vve cannot tciy upon what we hear as the reports are contradictory.” On ness nr non, Nov. 12. Early this -morning it was discovered (lint two schooners, loaded with armed men lay in the river between this village and Prescott. Expec tation was-soon rife and excitement pervaded (lie whole population. It was obvious that Fort Wel lington was the point of attack, and our citisens soon thronged to the shore, eager to catch every movement A small steamboat was lying at the opposite wharf, and (lie people of Prescott, parading up and down from the village to the* fort, gave ex ;- deuce that no small degree of hubbub and ex citement pervaded the population. One of the schooners containing the rebel ar mament had gone aground during the night, and a band of armed men seized the steamboat Unit ed States, and pressed some of the hands into their service for the purpose of getting her oIT. She, however, was not aide to reach the schooner, as the water was not sufficient for her drnit, and she came into port for a longer hauser. An she went out again, the Experiment (a British armed steamboat) greeted her with two shots, which missed, and he passed down the river. About 9 o’clock, A. M.,one detachment of the forces made a landing on the Canada shore about a mile below Fort Wellington, and whether they were attacked or not is uncertain. One opinion is that a party attacked them but retreated at the first lire. Mon l ave been constantly crossing to them in small heats, and'up to this hour, 2 o'clock P. M., about 5t 0 are supposed to have joined them. The great s. cue of excitement, however, has been on the wa'er. The Experiment kept up an irregular tire during the forenoon on the schooner an ! th" I mted States. Watching their various evolutions and observing the skipping of the shot as they elan ed along the surface of the water, formed a vi ry exciting scone in a quiet village like this. ——' -J--* S* Br tween 11 and 13 oVlock,!!)* Paul Pry, r.wl 'hs a Ferry Boat, between thi rfpldce un«l r. scott, wont to the relit t' of the schooner that lay on the bar. and succeeding in gitting her nfloa t. 'file , IN pi riment threw in hcrlhot at a liberal •rate, «nd they were so near s> vcr.il times that they ex changed musket and ride shot . It is reported that the Experiment su-'ained a less of seven men—the schooner none. After tlio schooner got afloat, the United States camo up and entered the harbor. As she passed the armed steamboat a shot passed through her wheel-house, and killed a very worthy young man by the name of Foster, a steersman en the boat. Three o’clock, P. M.—The rebel forces oc cupy a wind mill, about a mile below Prescott, and it is understood that there is another body above who have taken up abridge, and stand pre pared to defend themselves. The afternoon has been quiet so far. Small boats arc constantly crossing with men and arms. VV e have a most favorable location for observ ing the movements, as our window alV.mis a lull view of Prescott, and the river above and below, for two or three miles. Prescott is tin usually quiet this afternoon. We have hardly seen a moving being in the streets or about it. Six o’clock P. M.—Arms and munitions appear to be abundant. The schooners have pla ced themselves near the wharf on which the wind mill stands. A body of loyalists, reported dOO, are on their march from Brockville (12 miles above tins) to meet them, and if the parties have an aps petite for cold fighting, we may expect important events soon. Coi.sTEnrr.iTs—look out. —The Philadel phia Ledger of yesterday says—“counterfeit $5 notes on the bank of Pennsylvania are in circula tion ; a great number of them were passed last evening, and a man and woman were apprehend ed with a large roll of the counterfeits.” The N.

Close of a Patriot Orator’s Will. —The following is the closing paragraph of the will of Patrick Henry. ‘ I have now disposed of all my property to my family ; there is one tiling more I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had this, and I had not given them one shilling, they would 1.0 rich ; and if they had not that, and I had given them all the world, they v, ould be poor.” A well dressed man recently entered the office o{ a money-changer, and offered him several notes of-the Havre Bank to be changed. While they were discussing the rate of exchange, the cus tomer opened his snuff-box and offered a pinch to the changer, he took it, and aim ist instantly was attacked with a giddiness, which compelled him to shut his eyes. The owner of the notes seized the advantage, and was in the act of laying his hands on two bowls tilled with gold, when the wife of the money-, hanger entered from the mar ket, attended by her servant. A t their appearance the man fled without his prey, and escaped. It is •said that the narcotic mixed with the snuff was jhe powder of the Datura Stramonium. mki) On the 10th inst., Euoenia Parmelee, young est child of R V. and Mary It. Clarkson, aged one year and 24 days, Died, on the 10th instant, at his residence in Barnwell District, Capt. fiiiwis Tuotti, in the sixty-ninth year ol his age. Capt. T. was a native of Florida, and emigrated with his fa ther to South Carolina, when about four years old. Few men were more beloved, and highly did he merit the affections of his fellow-men. His heart and purse were always open to the needy and poor. His benevolence and kind hcartednes s were manifested through n long life of usefulness and honor. For many years he labored under the most acute sphering, which would have to tally disqualified most men from pursuing the ordinary concerns of life. Not so with him, his untiring industry and indefatigable perseverance never forsook him to the last. He was cheerful and full of kindness even amidst pain and sickness. In the private circle no man was more loved, his children, his domestics and neighbors all adored and respected him. In public life as Sheriff of the District, he discharged his duty with so much fidelity and correctness as to acquire for him the reputation of the “best Sheriff,” Barnwell Dis trict ever had. His memory can never .fade-from the minds of • his numerous acquaintances and frisnds, who have felt and seen his unassuming and kindly manners. As a Christian ho died in the full pros pect of a “ blessed immortality beyond the grave.” “ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” C-!l COMMERCIAL. Augusta Market.
