FEB 21..- sill _ witaism None of the five Gottenborgh Nial!s due have yet art ivcd ; we are Mill therefore doomed to a painful privation of news from that quarter, whence the must important intelligence may be expected. New It! tincwick Papers, to the 11th of last month, have been yeceived at Cork, confirming the account of additional successes having been obtained in Canada by the British arms. It is stated, in the General Orders issued at ()lichee, that a very small division of the British army, under the •command of Brigadier-General Sat Yifi on the Vith of No. vember, on the Niagara frontier, near Fort Erie, tthi.ch ter minated in the defeat and repulse of the enemy, -who, rely . ing on his numerical superiority, pl'oposed to the Cri:ish Commander to surrender the fott. The British force con sisted of detachments of the 4 Ist and 40,h regiments, and some native troops, commandetil by the following otiicecs : Lieut.-Colonel CLARKE, \l .jars ORMSnY and BATT. Lieu tenants BARCLAY, La tvloNT, and KING, &c. The two latter were wounded, and fell into the bands of the enemy, and their detachments were reduced to 17 or IS men. The enemy's loss is presumed very great. On the o3d Novem ber a British force, under the cLmitnand of ieut,-oiant-Co lofiel MtNIELLAI4, attacked and took the Amei icon post on the Salmon river, near St. Regis. Pennsylvania and New York Papers have arrived to the 17th tat. The. latter confain some information from South America. The revolution Pry party, near the city of Mexico, - had been reinforced by a body of troops under Colonel MA 'l'lic war was revived with increased vigour between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video. In Chili the friends of the new order nf things had gained possession of some im portant stations Ni I RAND A, who is on hii way to Etirore under pretence of taking his trial, is said to be conveys d thither a= an agent of the cF , panish il!egency, to give informa tion of the state of the Caraccat and the means of its coin vlete soLiugation to the parent country. It is reported, but we hat e every -reason to believe erro neously, that the !!:.olus frigate had been captured by the Constitution. The ....Kohut was at anchor at Bermuda on the 4th ult. No intelligence has reached the Admiralty respect ing this reported capture. Friday, about 12 o'clock, the I.onn MAYOR and Sheriffs went in state to Bow Church, Cheapside, where they heard an exce3lent Sermon preached by the Hight Reverend Father in God the Bishop of BuisTot.. helm; the annual •Sertoon preached before thellishops, fur the Propagation of the (Jcs pet and Protestant Religion in foreign Marrs. The Reverend Prelate took his text from the Acts of the Apo ties, the sth Chapter and 17th verse, from these words—" Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Cho‘t."— Nearly twelve Bishops were present : with the Archbishop of •CA t•: TER BURY. After the service, and settling the busine•s of the Society, all went to the Mansion-House, and dined with the LORD MAYOR. • A false report is in circulation, that Mr. PURNIS tllr, or ganist of St. Clement'i (who was born Wind and cured by couching at the age of So) is again losing; his sight ; on the contrary, we have the pleasure to state, that his vision has improved so much of late, that he has learned to read mu sical characters with yblerable correctness. We are concerned to find, from the Port letters, that much damage has been done to the shipping on the coast, in con sequence of the late stormy and tempestuous weather. .Saturday-seinnight, General SA RRA ZIN arriv.l at the Impe rial Hotel, Covent-garden, from Harwich.
