OCT. I*. An expedition, preparing at Portsmouth and Plymouth, consisting (if $OOO choice troops, three line.of-battle ships, and some smaller vessels of war ; these it is imagined will co-operste with another expedition fitting out at Coi k, consisting of the 48th and 49th regiments, with others, which are to embark immediately. It is rumoured that the whole will proceed to the Floridas, and make a diversion in that point against the Americans, with the assistance of some Indian trihes. Canada Papers to the 9th ult. reached town 11Ionday, and al;o pt ivate letters to the same date from Montreal, and to the 11 k h hem Quebec. The force under General Prevost, which is swed at 12,( 0) men, had penetrated the growlers Of the United S ate . , the enen y's army under Gen- Izard retreating heron t '1 he Ameti ans had been a long time engaged in im the fottifications . of Plattsburg,- hut the aid. it w h witch the Britill approached, and tbe commanding ch..r.i ter of the fl rce emrloed, so far intimi dated the ecemy, that he abandoned all his works, and the Br itish".; , tri% had entered Plattsburg.

She is said to be a remarkably fine three decker, and carries 102 guns. The Americans had been epulst d on the sth August, in an attack on Fort Michilima kinac, on '.hick occasion 900 of their troops were put to flight ly about 40 Indians. About fifty of them separated tht mrcl ve3 ft otn the mainhody of the A tner ican detachments ; these were, intercepted. by the Indians, and all massacred. The trace of the North West Company with the Indians has . been evended as far as the shores of the Pacific, and their' valuable returns are expected to reach Montreal in safety. Frankfort and Brussels Papers have been received to the r;:th instant. They are important, inasmuch as they shew the intentions of the Emperor of Russia with respect to Poland. There is no further news from Ghent in them.
