ALBANY, June ^.
We have received cetain information,
through various channels, from Canada,
that the French citizens in that province
-tre almolt uranimdufy determined to throw
cff the Britiih yoke, the firft favorableop
portaary—that they have moltly procur

magazines fecrerly established—and are
waiting earned, for a cooperation with
them, either from their brethren ofFrance
or the United States ; and as they are at

upwards of zo,ooo of the citizens of the
United States are established in Upper
Canada and would lend a helping hand, a
doubt cannot exi% but that their firuggles
for independence would be short, and cer

FR ENCHani ENGLISH FLEETS.
We have certain accounts that the two
grand fleets of France and England, were
at sea, in the month of May last—and
that the latter had above two hundred fail
of merchantmen under convoy—several of
which were bound to India ; and a great
number to the Mediterranean. No au
thentic accounts cf their return into port
have been received—and the certainty of
the E>gli(h fleet's having so large a con
voy, render# it# return into port improba
ble. Account? cf the most intereftiag na
ture may therefore be daily expelled from
Europe—as or. a decisive naval combat
very much depends.

which he did with 20 men; but night
soon after coming on, be took advantage
of it and made hisefeape with the remain

so late arrival from England, there was
nothing interesting in them. Apaffenge p

THE LAST NIGHT'S MAIL,
Were wretchedly barren. The few ar
ticles which had the appearance of being
interesting we have inserted under the dis
ferent heads. We have every right to
anticipate by the frft arrival articles of
great importance.—The critical situation
>f the armies of Fiandert—The posture of
the Spanish frontiers—the probable meet
ing of the grand fleets of France and
England, and the finele of G udaloup#
expedition are among those which most
particularly inflme the expectation of
the public. We, however, flatter our
selves that by our next publication, we
shall have itin our power to annouce to
the public something decisive in many of
these particulars.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in
Bordeaux, to his friend in Philadelphia.
" The Spaniards have been completely
routed in de South; ahd the victorious
French are en^r^g §pain. Menin, Fur

The Ln Vendee insurgents are defeated,
and brilliant successes are announced from
all quarters.
" A proclamation of the Representa
tives of the people in this department,
grounded on three different arrets of the
committee of public fafety, will explain tel
you, in feme degree, the footing on which
trade is to be carried on in future. I have
not time to observe bn the different points,
but the objeas of it is, to infare the cer
tain fapply cf articles of the firft. necessity
to this country, by confining the exporta
tion of their own valuable commodities to
those who enter into engagements, under
security, to import an equal value of nc
cell'ary articles.
The Governor of Canada published a
proclamation last winter, prohibiting all
converfaticn on the fubjeti of the French
Revolution, under penalty of imprison
ment. The people abstained for a time,
except in private,but since speak cf it open
ly and with enthusiasm. -They laugh at the
arbitrary mandate, and generally deleft
the E^glifh government, which also fail
ed in an attempt to engage the inhabitants
to form military volunteer corps; With
Ais intention the ~lefts, lefts of town and coun
try were directed to preach in favor of the
plan, and to preach against the French
Revolution. But this, far from render
ing that Revolution odious in the eyes of
the people, or of forwarding the plan of
volunteer corps has had contrary efia;
for in May lad the government ordered
a draft of 10 mea per company from the
Militia, to form a tele& teips, the militia
reared ; they lowered their demands to
tgree men pcrcompar.y,this was also oppof
tby the people, and matters rest upon
the anticat footing.

quently vifi; Gov. Simcoe, with Scalps of
the citizens of the United States ; that
the Governor, for the encouragement of the

that on the Britilh frontier, they were re
