" No, your Imperial Highness, the profotind sentiments of ,bonour, of fidelity, of devotion, of which the Senate is here the interpreter, can no more be effaced from Italian beaus, than we could forget the glory of the great man who go verns us," The' Senate concludes by begging his Serene Highness to accept the homage which it makes in the person of each of its Members ; to dispose I of it in such a planner, and for as long a time as leis Highness shall think proper ; and as there exists in the Treasury FUnds belonging to the Se . nate, and for a destination .which can admit of delay, it likewise begs of li's Serene Highness to apply them to the Wants of the State. - The Italian Council of State evinces similar pa triotic Refithnents, aml conclude., with these words: It entreats of your Ilighne,s to permit it to offer for the wants of the State, that portion of the appointments of each of its Members, .which he shall judge proper to appropriate to that des tination." .

Cansuuni; Oct., 29.—We learn that Count de Hochberg, who commanded the Baden troopi r and Major-General Schaefer, were made prisoners on the 190. The enemy has published einpliati cal and exaggerated reports of that day ; but how : eau he expect to impose by controverted details, and which can he provedlalse.with the greatest facility ? For example, lie has caused it to be ofii. published in the Leipsie Gazette, " that a B a den hatfalion: had partaken, on the .19th, in the conduct of the :Saxon Troops, by firing upon the French troops," These words were unworthy of Count de .flochherg, and h e n as t ettet j to h are inserted in the LeiNig Journal 9 declaration, which states, " that it is wrongfully that the Baden troops arc accused of such perfidy , :" he says,'that " the truth is, the Baden battalion was marching oat of. the Grenuna. Gate, when it met the Allied troops, which were entering the town, and was obliged to give way to superior forces, and was disarmed. Shortly after the Prince of Sweden atrived,, and ordered the Baden troops to have their antis restored, imagining that they were going to take part against the French but this ! ic ing unanimonsly refused, .they were a gain armed, and ordered to be conveyed to 13erlin, as prisoners of Nskir."

Mo..irrfteAL, SEPT. .1 1 .--.7The enemy's troops at Burlington, it is said, have m rr ade , considerable mo% ements for the week past, their numbers have been aagmented by a regiment sent on from Green-bush, and reports say 'they have crossed over from Burlington, to Plattdatrg about 2000 men. 'The American officers are said to speak positively Of taking Montreal for winter quarters., Letters from Kingston of the 7th inst. confirm the report of Commodore Chauncey having gone up the Lake, and add that he lays snug under the guns at Niagara, and cannot be induced to come out, notwithstanding the constant efforts of Sir James Yeo to bring hint to an engagement. The American piquet guard taken at Fort George on the 24th ultimo, arrived here on Wed nesday. At the end of last week, the American tatlar troops at Burlington consisted of 5000 effective men ; a regiment. was sent to Plattsburgh, and the whole were in motion to menace this Pro,. viuce. They speak .positively of attacking Isle aux Noix..' The number of British prisoners at Greenbush was not 300, including officers.---This we have front the best authority. Last week, ten soldiets (Frenchmen) deserted from Meuron's regiment stationed at Chambly, and proceeded towards the lines, with their arm.; and accoutrements, and in full uniform. They compelled a poor Canadi.in to conduct them, and threatened him with death if he refused. A party of the 13th regiment, with an officer of Meuron's, pursued and overtook theta, not forty roods from the lines. The villains resolutely fired on the party which was at_ that time assisted by the militia. The pursuers in their turn fired, killed four of the deserters, and wounded three of ; the remaiding three escaped. The reports of this affair liave been various, our information was .from a respectable man living close by the spot, in whom we place implicit confidence. SRN'. 4.---Nothing has transpired from the Upper Province since our last number, of any con setpieuee, further than a report of the enemy's fleet having again entered the Niagara Riv er , where, under the protection of his land batteries, the American Comatodore is secure from any at. , tack on the part of Sir dames Yet), until h e s h a ll expose himself to another chase. We are appre hensive that too general,action will take place on Lake Ontario if the enemy can avoid it, until he is assured of his decided superiority, and unless Sir James Yeo, by the better sailing of his squa- , drop, is enabled to cut off sonte,of , his' opponent's vqs.els on his return to Socket's Harbour ; we are fearful that the season will terminate with no fur . (her operations. On the skill and gallantry of Sir James Yeo, hi s officers and met!, we have every reason to place the fullest confidence, and we are well persuaded that ever y eff or t will be made on his part to bring the enemy to action, but it is not an easy matter to h t l ogan unwilling combatant to risk a general engagement, particularly where the distance be. tween his harbours is so short—,--with respect to great military operations in that quarter they seem to depend'so much'on the result of those an na val nature, as to leave little room for immediate expectatiOn—We shall, however, be extremely happy, if we should prove incorrect in our an I iCipatiOng, its we have not the smallest doubt• of a hrillhint victory in the event of, a naval aetion. We miderstand that demonstrations on the part of the enemy, on our own frontier, have : been perceived within these' few days' past ; ain! that a considerable body of his troops bnd arrived at Illitttsburg, front Burlington, and . that other divi siOns ‘vere advancing 'in the same direction ; froth the intelligence we received yesterday, the number - of regulars on this expedition is estimated at 5000, and that they moveinents strongly indi cate an attack on our lines. If this diversion of the enemy is contemplated, as is supposed, to dis tinct our attention .; and by that. 114ealit weaken our fame in the Upper Province, so as to enahle him to effect his object in that quarter, we have every reason to hope he will be mistaken; and that the force now on our lines, and with the mi litia, Which may be immediately collected, he will have more'eanse to repent this second hilaruh , than he had the first which he occasioned us ',list fall, and where lie was satisfied with being•trightened into precipitate retreat., IIEAD-QU'ARTE .
