FROM THE LONDON . GAZETTE, Nov. 2S COLONIAL bEPAIMIENT. Downing-street, Nor. 28, 1812. A dispatch of which the folloving is an extract, has been received from Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost, Bart. addressed to the Earl , BaT thurst, one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, dated Montreal, Oct. 17, 1812. I have the honour to inform your Lordship, that the forces composing tht cordon of defence against the approach ,of the enemy in this neigh bourhood; have moved into their respective can tonments, in consequence of the inclemency of the season. The cantomnenfs that I have select ed for the troops do not remove them consider ably from their original position, and they are calculated to afford equal convenience, for the rapid•concentration of the force under Majoy-Geth Dc Rottenburg. , The latest intelligence front Detroit represents every thing in its, immediate neighbonthood as quiet ; and reports Colonel Proctor's having de tached a small force of British regulars and mi litia to Fort Wayne, to save the American force therein, invested by the Indians: On the Niagara frontier.both parties were act ing on the defensive. • P,A.NKRUPTCIPS • r.NIA. , (tatD. :Tolan s rergusen, late of tlurr-itreat,• St. George in the rat, mariner, 1.

Mr. Aiken, who had been fotind guilty of libel'. ling Mr. Delap ; late of the Ist Dragoons, or "King's Own, but now of the Surrey militia, in posting him a caisard and a scoundrel, in March last, at ibbetson's, and other cOffee-houses, was again brought lip, to receive sentence.. Mr. JUSTICE GROSE, in pronouncing the sen ftense of the Court, obser v ed, th a t there Puts F,totuebting very peculiar in the defendant's case — it was marked with an uncommon and unusual degree of malignity. For more than four years; froin. Iscts to .1812, he had suffered . the ref membrance of what he 'assumed td be 4 - studied insult to rankle in . his mind, and during the whole of that time, he had availed himself of all possible opportunities, of al! at-taint • able means, of endeavouring to provoke Mr. De': lap to fight a duel. Fortunately, however, thosd efforts had been vein ; anti the defendant had good reason,. as Itn - :g 03 he lived, .to be Outdid to the •prosecutor for not h . . - Ivin...T, accepted the challenge - had he complied; one, mot likely, would have been murdered, and the surviving doe!list Vrould have ever after s been, branded with the n a me of murderer !, It wlts - fiartunate . that ti.rctunstanceS. had taken such a course ;'but the whole of the eilftlHant's ct:ufinet; in this trans:-tetion, shewe_ii the. absolute flecessity of ex.erting the anthority of the:Couti, to protect the prose6utor from outrage, , and -to prevent, if -possible, further bueaches s of the law by the defeadant.': The sentence of the . Court was--e That -the defendant be imprisoned; i the King's Bench prison; , for the snaee Of SiA Calendar Months :. and at the expiration of chot term, to give s ecur ity f or hi, good behaviour tor Seven Years, himself in 50-01. und two sureties iii 2 , 101. each:. . LIBEL IN THE A'2,71-GnI,LiCAN. LOVELL V. GOLDSMITH. This was an action brought by the proprietor of The Styttesman, against the "cond ) icor of a Weekly Print, called The Anti-Gailican Mo* ;War, to obtain damages, for having- libelled the plaintiff, in accusing hiin of being concerned in a plot to destroy Louis XVIII. On going before a JtirV, a verdict bad been obtained for the de fendant. A itule'had been obtained to slew cause, wli a new trial should not be granted; and tion was now made to have it made absolute. Mr. SCARLETT stated, that the application wa% founded on an alleged error in the record, in stat ing that the defendant was '' the Proprietor" of The Anti-GallivanMo~u#ctr- r whereas it ought to have been said, '' the sole proprietor," if such were intended, and that was. a questionable fact. Lord ELLEsibizouGH- observed, that the parr ties were curious if not extraordinary nu m; tor, two days before the trial of the present action, the defendant herein had been the is London, when the jury, on that occasion had very; properly given him one farthing damages. tht that occasion, Mr. Goldsmith bad accusedlA3vdi. of enormous slander, and he knew not what—, but such was the . jury's verdict on that charge. In this action, they had not even found a verdict for the plaintiffs- 7 4.bad been returned for the de , - fendant. On the whole, it would be mu c h b etter if the parties cou ldi )e persuaded to enter a stat processus.l Mr.SoARLETT observed, that he had mi instruc tions to consent to anv thing of the kind; and ia this - case.he did not like to take any respon,:ibi lity upon himself. Linder these Lances possibly the Court_ would allow .the matter. to , be deferred, to enable him to obtain further in. structions. Lord ELLENTBOROUGH comented_to this; ; for he knew very well-that . Counsel were 'often .bl.4nod when they stepped without the limits of tfre:r 1:1- struCtions, although_ they might have in so doing pursued the best possible course for the benefit of . their clients. Sir W. GARROW., to COTISOIV Mr. Scarlett,: woulti observe, that with respect to any blame, ha intl4 likely shbuld' divide it with his Learned Prieint; for if he were to,.take any responsibility u p on him . - self, and to acquiesce in the suggestion of his Lord 7 ship, very probably he should not give entire sa- ti3faction to the parties.—The case was therefore directed to stand over.

Oct'. 10.—In .consequence of the daily annoy ance' given to our boats passing and re-passing Ogdensburg, by a continual, firing from the batte ries of that place, an expedition was planned-to dislodge the enemy and spike his gunS. Accord ingly, on Sunday, the 4th inst. a small patty of regulars, with sonic militia, amounting to about 750. in all, from . Prescot, made the attempt-, under the conitnand of Colonel Lethbridge. The British battery began to• play- on Olgalensburg, creating much confusion among the enemy, while. our 'boats were advancing.. • When they .reaChedinid Channel, an indecision succeedcd the first impulse, and, instead of pushing on, a retreat commenved anil the expedition returned to the place of •em harkation, with the Joss of two regulars and one militiaman killed, and. we believe four militiamen slightly wounded. On the British battery ; a can non' unfor:unately burst,- which wounded nine men, including Captain - Walker, of the militia ar tillery. We forbear making any commertc . on this rmlucky affair, which vi s given .to us as We have religiously stated; but will only observe, that it was considered by the best informed inhabitants as a rash undertaking, as the force was not ade quate to the attainment of the object ; that the Royal George. was then at Icinrton, arO i that had she been ordered down, success might have been insured—that ship is now at the Thousand islands, which is within a fevebours sail of Prescot—some blame the attempt, on the supposition tliat'it will unite the enemy. The supporters of such doc trines might as well advise us to have oar hands end feet bound, and at once give up .all that is dear to - us.—We certainly deprecate the infliction of evil on the peaceable inhabitants of the States, but when we earvseize the-property of their Go vernment,. and destroy their 'forts, which inter rupt our commerce, full scope should be given to our energies, and nothing left undone that can add to our security.—(Quebec Gazette, Oct. 15.) OCT. 3.—His Excellency the Governor-General has been pleased to permit the Gentlemen of the North-west Company to raise a battalion of vo lunteers from the voyageurs in their employ; We arc not certain of the exact number this corps is to consist of; but we are informed, that at least 1000 from the surrounding country have arrived to inlist. These hardy men will soon combine the requisites of regular discipline and parti3an war fare, along with _their accustomed vocation of in land sailors. As such they 'cannot fail of being most useful alefendeis of their .country.—(Quebec Gazette, Oct. 8.) QUEBEC, OCT. 22.—The Americans have not yet attacked this .province;. it -is even probable thCy.will not attack it this season. This delay, which has arisen solely, from the unprepared state of the enemy, and from the excellent disposition of the people of this province, to aid in its defence, is ascribed to causes utterly unconnected , with the truth; and , finally, it is inferred, we shall have peace during the winter. We should- not have. noticed , an opinion, so destitute of probability, were it not calculated to Maintain a similar opi nion in_ England, where it has already ex i s t e d to a dangerous extent. Ever . since the declaration of Independence,. nine tenths at least of the - United . States of Al i ne , rica have been decidedly disposed " to drire all European Governments off the Continent," parti cularly the British. The only difference in opi nion has been about the times and the means ; hut eventually all times and all means wherein, or whereby, any thing has been (lone having that ten dency, has been approvedof by the great majority of the people'. Let us recur to facts. Was not the over=reaching pretensions of the. American yernment, with respect to the boundary of St. Croix, 41yroveti c 1 'by the people ? Was not Mi randa's expedition the incitement to insurrection, and the final invasion of Florida, the scandalous countenance and assistance to the insurgents in Mexico, approved of.by the people ? Was not the quibbles of the American - Government, about „a deposit at New Orleans, and the final purchase of Louisiana, approved of cy the people r The invi tation to treason in ,Upper Canada, and the inva sion of that province, has been yather unfortu nate, but we hear of nothing from any party, in blame of the invasion, but merely of its • want of success. QUEI3F.C, OCT. 8.- 7 -The three di - Visions of mi litia of this city have been embodied, and have commenced doing duty, for one week.in rotation, since last Wednesday. By this measure a large augmentation is made to the force that can take the field ; and the whole militia, by the praise worthy exertions of the Officers of the regular army, will be rendered fit to perform their duty with satisfilction to themselves, and advantage to their country. The whole of the militia throughout the pro vince is ordered to train once a iveek.—(Same Ptipgr.)
