Tt was fact n'at ieported that a Revolution had taken p'ace at Madrid in favour of Charlrs IV., and that the iv..ak, ambition:, and bigotted Ferdinand had 01lee more lle.n deposed. We hare not yet been able to ascertain what arc the gromids of this rumour. I\VASION OF NORWAY. The infamous contest in the North has commenced. With the expressed approbation and the proffered asset-' ante of all those Sovereigns who lately dethroned Bona parte, becaese he had destroyed the independence of na ,ions, the Crown Prince has invaded Norway, for the pur pose of Imitating his conduct and bringing a high-spirited and patriotic people under his yoke. Two Swedish Bul- ' 1 tins, dated the sth and 11th inst. have already arrived, and detail the first operations of the war. Bernadotte appears not to have forgotten the French custom of increasing suc .?ss and concealing; defeats. He boasts of advantages which he evidently only owes to the defensive system. *dui ted by the Hero of - Norway, in imitation of the Em-, 7.-rer cf Huss'a in 1812, and which consists solely of undisputed positions. The towns rather , than fortresses which he. has •occupied were not sufficiently strong tore s'st, and although the Swcd s are in possession of the left bank of the Glommen, yot as it is the interest of the Norwegians to draw them into the heart of their country where they m9y be cut off and destroyed, and they have clearly acted on that principle, this advance cannot be considered as unfavourable to the cause. of justices and freedom. When they find an opportunity, and the na ture of the country affords many, the Norwe4'anS will fall on the separate corps of the enemy and easily overthrow them. There is no doubt but the actions of the 2d, 3d, and 9th inst., in one of which Bernadotte acknowledges the'less of one piece of cannon, twenty baggage waggons, 4 officers, and 140 men, 4nd states one of his divisions to have been surrounded, werelbtopiete victories gained by the patriots. Nay their eauw prosper, and their indepen dence be established.

The following extract of a letter from Canada was com municated to us last night bti• an anonymous Correspon dent. We publish it, therefore, without pledging our selves for the correctness of its statement, but in order to afford an opportunity to the friends of the parties charged with improvidence, to repel the accusation : EXTRACI OF A LETTER FROM MONTREAL OF THE 11TH JLIA, 181 k. is The wonderful changes in Europe came nponns like an over whelming torrent, which deprived us for some time Of the faculty of reflection upon the eNtent of the happy emisvenences likely to result thereaem. We HOW look to the Americans getting a eood dressing, which they so well merit, and appearances indicate that Ministers are well digitised to inflict it, from the exit lit of the re inforcements which have arrived and are talked of. We ntret agreeal4 surprised to see two regiments tiom Boma Vint all this assistance will avail little unless enth r utltri management here. I really anticipate nothing but disgrace from the weak, %rfliiiik and unsystematic proceedings of this Govetement. The troops %ill be sacrificed piecemeal, without am fixed object or combieed move ment for attack, and we shall be still tied to the drivelling, dis heartening system of defence which leaves to the enemy his choice of time aed place for annoying us ! It is much to be regretted that the British Government do not hear and see all which passes here. The time is not far distant when they will find themselves woefully disappointed in the espectas tion they have formed of some individuals, who at . present possess their confidence, and will neither act themselves, nor allow others; or why not have complied with the applications in the Sprint, from the Upper Province, and have sent up more troops. in lead of allowing them to remain inactive at Chaeubly, &e. i We lost the command of the Lacs by neglecting to attack the ctienio 'laval depots at Sarkurs harbour, on Lake Ontario, and Presipie Isle on Lake Erie, where they were allowed to nut-build us, anti always will do so, in a mere war of ship carpenters, as at Kt.- ' senr. That command can only be regained by attacking and destroying, uy a land force, those depots; and such might have been done, more than once, with every prospect of success; lint from that fatality of indecision that leaves all to chauce, good officers become disgusted in succession, with this negative war fire, by which we have every thing to lose and nothing to gain. cannot with patience see such a nibiopplieation of nwans as we ere now possessed of in Canada. Of all the troops arrived, not one has yet been sent to Upper Canada. There is an incompreheesibility in all our proceedings here, as the enemy is collecting in great force on the Niagara Line ! I" RUPTURE OF THE NEGOCIATIONS WITII AMERICA. An express arrived on Friday to Ministers, from the Bri tish Commissicuiers at Ghent, announcing, we understand, the rupture of the oegociation with the American Plenipo• tentiariel. We are told that the insuperable ohstacle is, the demand by Great Britain of a portion of territory even:ling through out the whole southern nwgin of Lakes Erie and Ontario, a the new hntiqd4ry for the Canada,, and eomprehendiog the marititne station of ,:;Ickett's Harbour, and all thg forts of tbe Nagarit.
