To-day we have received Fial.fax Papers to the 6th of August, New Yogic to the 80th of July, and Boston to the 31st of July ; they bring no account of any event of importance in Canada, subsequent to that of the ,tith and eith of July ; in which the British fell bock before superior numbers. It will appear, that on the Lakes, the British flag is still destined to wave triumphant: for Sir JAMES YEN at the date of the last accounts, was off Sacket's Harbour, blockad ing Commodore CuausczY, or rather defying him to come our. In the mean time, our Readers will see, 04 on the side of Canada, our naval and military flees are teceiving reinforcements daily, which long ere this must have put them in a condition to act on the citelis;ve. Nearly the whole or the shores of the United States ore now actually invaded. The state of trepidation and alarm excited among the American Citizens may be more easily conceived than described ; indeed, their fears have literally nearly deprived them of the power of Utterance, as will be seen from the hurried and confused way in which they relate their suffer- ings. It is rather odd, however, to find that all their abuse is vented, not so much against their invaders as against their own Government.—" The people call loudly," says a Boston Journalist, " for the de fence which the Constitution ieclares the General Government shall give them, and for which they have paid scores of millions ; they ask for arms and ammunition, and p,ovisions, and they are answered, that the Government troops are gone to take Ca nada ; and it any succour is sent, it arrives after the enemy has retired. 4 4 The people of that part of Maryland which is now the seat of war, are represented as being ex tremely exasperated at the President for leaving them in their exposed situation. A letter from Leonards town, after mentioning the consternation and suffer ings of the people, adds—' But these are only ex ceeded by the high state of irritable sensibility disco vered by all classes of citizens, of whatever party, with scarcely an exception, whenever Maranon or B IIiNEY ' S name is mentioned. The dethroned tyrant is scarcely more execrated by the people of Paris, Lyons, or Bout deaux, than our PRISIDSNT is by the good people of Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's.— Canes are pouted nut upon him daily by thousands of is.ouths, for briugilig the enemy upon them with out affording protection.'" . Our Readers will read with much satisfaction the subjoined accounts of the arrival at Bermuda, if not upon the American Coast, of the greater part of our feinforcements in perfect safety : BOSTON, JULY so. We have published from the I ,w reri ELT:Sing Pi4l, an article relative to the plan of the campaign, which seems to have come from a very intelligent •source. Whether the writer has any secret informs don of the scheme of operations determined upon, is of little consequence. It is very ccrtain that any seri ous invasion in the direction of Montreal, if intended, cannot be accomplished. The British regelar troops in Canada will out-number our whole army, prob.,- lily in the ratio of 3to 2. Whether the enemy, with their decidedly superior force, in number, as well as in d;scipline, will invade our territory, we know not, although it is probable they will. The number of troops which they have already opposed to General Izard, and their having opened the road which was blocked up with so much care two years ago, render it probable that they do not intend to he idle. But thstre can be no expectation that the right wing of our army will advance. All the conquests therefore are to be gained on the left. This part of the army, which is under the command of General Brown, it is pretty well settled, when augmented by the reinforce ments which are now on the w..y to it, will amount to about .suoo_men, General Brawn had advanced on the 10th instant to Queenston. IVe 'understand by a Gentleman from Burlington, that Colonel Clark has been arrested for disobedience of orders. Our army continues on the frontiers, with its advanced posts at Odeltown. The British continue bvtore them. II , I MONTREAL, JULY 2. We are informed that the red , •übtable Colonel For rlth, (the plunderer of Br ckville) 'entered Odd- Town on Weefnescl ty, N ith about 200 men. About 11 A•M. lie WAS met by a small detachment of Vol. tip.urs and Indians, when a sharp skirmish ensued The Colonel si on fell mortally wounded, six men ikere killed and ten es oundedi the enemy immediately became appalled, aticl took to flight. Colonel for. syth soon died of his wound, and was buried in Odel Town. It is said that none of our•brave fellows fell, but we lament to state the report of six being wounded. Wednesday our fleet was in Kingston harbour, and CoinMosiore Chauncey lay snug in port at Sackett's. The 16th (Sir George Prevost's) regiment are all arrived at Chambly. • The Ist battalion 90th Regiment, or General • Graham's (Lord Lyndoch) arrived in this city on Tuesday last. It is a fine looking corps, 1100 strong. Accounts from Detroit of the 6th oh. affirm, that the whole of the Ansel 'cos force stationed there, us. cluding Sandwich and Amherstburg, does not exceed 600 men. We hope they will not be Suffered for any length of time to disgrace and hold in awe, it valua ble frontier of 500 miles extent. None of the enemy's vessels had passed into lake Huron. GEORGETOWN, JULY 22. EXTRACT ON A LITTER FROM FREDERICKSBURG TO A GENTLEMAN IN TIIII PLACE, DATED JULY 20. " I am sorry to say the tocsin of alarm has just been sounded here, (half past eleven A. M.) a letter has been received by our printer here from West moreland, advising that twenty sail of the enemy's vessels were in the Potomac, fifty miles above the mouth, and moving up. Should they have a num ber of land forces, it may be a combined attack in tended on the city from the Bay and Potomac, so take care of yourselves, for I fear we are getting into much trouble. I know the writer of the letter• (who is a Member of the Legislature) and have little doubt the information is correct. 44 General Porter, who is Commander at Norfolk, has made a demand for 7000 more troops to defend the place, and a Council of War has been called at Richmond."—Federal Republican. BOSTON, JULY SS. The passengers in the Commodore Decatur inform that they left France on the 20th of June; that all was tranquil there ; and the Bourbon Family was be coming more and more popular. That 10,000 British troops sailed from Bourdeaux for Quebec, about the 6th of June, convoyed by the Warspite and York, 74's. Lord Wellington was at Bourdeaux June 18, about to proceed to England.— The Royal Oak, 71, Admiral Malcolm, had sailed from Basque Roads, said to be bound to America.— The British troops under the command of tlaj r Ge neral Riall, have retreated to Forts George and Nia gara ; and the American army, under the command of General Brown, has advanced to Queenstown. A Chebacque Boat, tender to the Tenedos, and having on board her Second Lieutenant, two Mid shipmen, and ten seamen, was captured the 14th ult. by the American gun-boat, No. 88, off Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The British have destroyed the wareciosesat Hun tingt4vrn, burnt the Court-house at Fredericton, the Church at Calvert, landed 700 men at Leouardtown, and 1500 at Nottingham—the last place is twenty miles S.E. of Washington. PIIILADELNUA. JULY ci. The passengers in this day's Southern Mail report, that the enemy had ascended the Patuxent to within thir ysix miles of Washington City. The Patuxent is navigable, for ves , ,els of 9..50 tons, as high as Nottingautn, which is twuity miles S.E. of Washington. The Baltimore American of yesterday says, a report prevails that the_ enemy have landed 1500 men in the Calvert County, and that they have burnt Ilunting ton Warehouse, and are on their march by land fur Nottingham. NLW YORK, JULY es. We lcarn from passengers in the steam bat Para'. gon, arrived yesterday from Albany, that on Mond ty last, the British squadron, under Sir J. Yeo, was off Sackett's Harbour, waiting for Commodore Chauncey to come out. Two schooners with troops, which had been sent to reinforce General Brown's army, were chaced back to the army by the enem). Three thousand troops had embat ked at Montreal to reinforce General Riall at Niagara. General Izard's situation at Chazy is said to be cri tical. He had sent all his heavy baggage to White. hall, head of Lake Champlain. Letters dated at Sackett's Harbour, on Monday, state, that Commodore Chauncey was to sail the in at day, but :Ire silent as to the appearance of Sir Jarne Veo off that place. Therefore, if the above versa: account is true, it is mu s t have come by some convey ance later than the Amongst the passengers in the Steam.boat, arc Mr. Rush of Philadelphia and sister. They are di. rect from Montreal. Mr. Rush saw the troops em bark at Montreal. An Officer belonging to the Endymion frigate was apprehended at, New Bedford on Frid ►y evening, us suspicion of being a Spy. He says he deserted from that ship. BALTIMORE. JULY 21. An express arrived in this city this morning to Ge neral Winder, announcing that the British have landed about 300 men, and taken Leonardstown.-7 Lennardstown is a post town in this State, capital of St. Mary's county, consisting of about 70 houses, a court-house, and jail. It is 113 miles south of Bal- Limon, A report is also in circulation, which is said to be well founded, that the enemy have burnt the Court house and jail, in Cainn County. Apprehensions .are entertained for the safety of important records and other public papers. . _ FROM THE HALIFAX CHRONICLE OF AUGUST 5.

And his Excellency is pleased hereby to direct, that this General Order be considered in explanation and con firmation of the Geperal Orders issued on the 16th of April, and the 2a of July, 1314. EDWARD BAY s, Adjt.-General, N. A." HALIFAX, AUGUST 1. Arrived his Majesty's brig l'Espoir, Captain Duff, from Bermuda, seven days—passenger, Col. Douglas, 98th regiment. His Majesty's ships Paetolus and Primrose arrived at Bermuda the 22d ultimo from Bourdeaux, which place they left the 2d of June, in company with a fleet of transports, having on board the 4th, 44th, and 85th regiments, three companies of artillery, and one of artillery drivers, under the command of General Ross—parted from them on the 26th June. Sir Alexander Cochrane was still at Bermuda, but would leave the island immediately after the arrival of the above troops from Bourdeaux for some part of the American coast. Another regi ment was expected at Bermuda from Gibraltar. Yesterday his Majesty's ship Erne, the Hon. Cap tain Napier, arrived from Bourdeaux, in 42 days— sailed from the Garonne the Ifith June, in'company with his Majesty's ships York and Vengeur, and 43 sail of transports, bound to Quebec, having on board between six and 7000 troops, under the command of General Kerapt—parted from them on Sunday, the Cith ult. at the entrance of the St. Lawrence. EXPEDITIONS FOR AMERICA. Another embarkation for America of about 3000 troops is on me point of taking place under Major- General Keane. It is generally understood that these troops form, what may be termed the advanced guard of the main army proceeuing to tile same destinat►on, wider Lieueeflant-Gelieral Lord HILL. The regi imnts of the line which are to compose the above force, will embark at Plymouth, where the 93d and one battalion of the 95th are waiting in perfect readi ness, and they will go on board immediately that the ships front Portsmouth appear off that port. The military assembled at Portsmouth, to form part of this expedition, consist of One Squadron ot the 14th Light Dragoons, Major Munrue's Brigade of Artillery, the principal put of whose guns are on bound the Norge, Captain Lane'. Rocket kitigatie, and Captain Emmett's Com pany o► Sappers and Miners. The Medical Staff to accompany the Troops con- List of T. 'Thompson, Esq. Deputy Inspector of Hospitals, Dr. Duo cr, Physician to the I °tees, Ivir. Wardle, } Staff Surgeons, rs:r. Fut cade, Apothecary lamer, Scc. &c. &e. The mountain guns to accompany the Brigade of Artillery, have been practised on, on Southsea Com m..n, the greater part of last week, and are found to be most admirably calculated for the service to which they are :lestined. Tile VALIANT has been drtained, supposed to await Lord limo ; and the Zam.ous is expected to sad with the Nonce, as well as the Dove* nd ALCESTE frigates, getting ready at Plymouth. Artisans go to the American Lakes from the four principal Dock-yards, in the following proportions: 100 from Portsmouth ; a like number from Ply. mouth, and 50 from each of the Dock yards to the E.stward—Woolwich and Deptford. At first 150 ' vt,ittriteeted to go hence, but 'the number has since been reduced to 100. Friday evening those from Woolwich and Deptford arrived at Portsmouth, in coaches employed on purpose to convey them, and the three parties will embark on board the ZEALOUS, Captain ANDERSON, in which ship they will proceed to Plymouth, where they expect to be joined by the men going from that arsenal, and proceed on their voyage with all poisible dispatch. The circumstance of the United States sloop of war, the Wasp, having been recently admitted into the harbour of L'Orient, to repair the damages which she sustained in the late action with his Majesty's sloop Ramona, seems to have excited an impression in this country of partiality on the part of France to wards America, at the expense of Great Britain.— The inference, however, is not quite correct—the Treaty betwixt Great Britain and France being that of mere Peace, and not an offensive and defensive alliance ; so that both the REINDRIR and Wasp had the privilege of repairing their respective damages in the neutral port of L'Orient, at one and the same time, without molestation, FRENCH PAPERS. Yesterday Paris Papers of Thursday arrived, ant today we received those of Friday. The cztracts from Thursday's Papers will be found in another pan of our columns—those from the Paris Journal-. of Friday are subjoined.

At4he same tune, all places (such as the Churches,• ks.) fcrraci)7 consi dered as asylums for those who had commit t::d crinrs, are abolished. _ We are informed by the Afonittur, that di:Am-bowers having broken out at Boulogne, in consequence Of the permission given to export provisions to England', and the Mayor having but feebly interposed hisat— thority, had been deprived of his office by tit? lk.c tic Berri. Tranquillity had been perfectly restored, Nita the military are said to have done their ay 1:11. geed soldievs. The Captain of the Niemen French frigate, was taken by the g.%114nt Sir LAIC II AEL SEYAIOUIt lex years since after an ebsttnate conflict, has been most honourably acquitted. The Hottentot Veuus has arrived at Paris. The Chamber of Deputies were occupied on Thurs. day with a continuation of the debate on the French. Finances. The rate of interest for money due by Cl vernment being fixed at 8 per Cent. meets much op position. The debate has been adjourned. Friday the Earl of YAIINIOUTII left his house in Sq. moor-street, for Ragley Hail, the seat of the Marquis of HERTFORD, to meet the PRINCE REGENT. • The Duke of Devomum is making great prep-- rations at his seat at Chatsworth, Derbyshire, for a splendid fete, in honour of Restoration of Peace.

Lady EMILY WELLESLEY is going to Paris on a visit to the Duke of WELLINGTON. It is Said that Lord and Lady UXBRIDGE will accompany her Ladyship. It is understood that Sir HENRY WELLESLEY, whose conduct in Spain, during nearly the whok war, has procured for him the esteem of all parties, has obtained leave to return to England. He maybe expected none in the course of the ensuirT month. His Excellency has concluded a general 'I reaty of Alliance with the Spanish Government, which engages not to renew the Family Compact with France. There is no =Tula tion for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. The death of the Duchess of IltzecLet'cri was oc casioned by her unfortunately taking•cold a few days after her aceouchement, that brought CA a fever and a putrid sore throat, which terminated her existence the third day alter she was taken ill.
