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.

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

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."—

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.
