" ISIPORTANT FROM CANADA.

" A gentleman is not,/ in our office who came directly from
Upper Canada, and states that he there saw as many as 15 or
16 wounded British soldiers, who arrived in two sleighs direct
from Malden. The battle was said to have been fought on
Sunday evening, and 250 British soldiers were killed. He
left Hamilton about nine o'clock last evening.
" It was said that Fort Malden and all the military stores
bad fallen into the hands of the Patriots.
" A report is also in town, corroborated by the same gentle-
man, that Van Rensselaer has obtained complete possession of
Kingston."
We take the following from the Buffalo Commercial Ad-
vertiser of the 26th :
" ATTEMPTED INVASION OF UPPER CANADA.—' Sad busi..
ness in the Western District' was the heading used by the
Star journal a short time since, to announce the rising of the
Patriots' near Malden, with which some wag had hoaxed
those veracious prints. They might have . kept: the head
standing, and placed it with great propriety
,over their
flaming annunciation of the crossing of the -Patriots' into
Canada on the night of the 16th, for one story is as true as the
other.

" By information which we have received from Detroit
down to the 20th we learn that at that date .11 was quiet. The
Patriots,' so far from being concentrated, and about to cross
into Canada, were scattered along the lak e shore in straggling
parties, in an almost shoeless and starving condition. Their
situation is truly pitiable. •
We understand that Mr. Mackenzie, General Van Rensse-
laer, and Dr. Duncombe are in or about that city. It is im-
possible to conceal that something of the highest importance,
one way or the other, may soon occur in this neighbourhood.
The river at this city is now frozen over. We have also a
slight covering of snow, which makes tolerable sleighing. In
the country there is plenty of snow.
The Toledo Gazette of the 13th says :—" We have been
informed by a gentleman direct from Detroit, that Captain
Davis, of London, Upper Canada, who was severely wounded
and taken prisoner on board the schooner Ann at Amsterdam,
died in prison at Malden last week. Dr. Theller and Colonel
Dodge, who were also wounded, had so far recovered that they
were removed to Toronto gaol last week."
Adams (Jeff:l-son county), Feb. 19, 1838.
The State Arsenal at Watertown was broken open last
evening, and some 500 muskets taken out. Fairbank, who
is the keeper, has offered a reward of 250 dollars for the re-
covery of them.

WITH WHICH
~ THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW

INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1835.

By the arrival at Liverpool of the New York packet-
ship England, we have received New York Papers tie the
3d inst. inclusive, from which copious extracts are given
in another part of The Sun. They bring a mass of what
they denominate " highly important" and " very alarming"
intelligence from the Canadian frontier, the burden of which
is that the " patriots" are again in motion ; and that, at the
date of the last arrivals, they had actually worsted the
Queee's troops in an engagement near Maiden. From a
careful examination of all the flyieg reports published in the
American journals—most of them supplied by individuals
unworthy of any credit—we deem it a duty to caution our
readers against placing the least confidence in them. Nay,
we are morally certain that the reported " battle at Maiden"
is A pure fiction, and that the rebels instead of having two
thousand warriors in arms ready to invade Canada have
not as many hundreds in a mood to risk their necks in so
hcpeless an expedition.
The inactivity of the Federal Government in an affair of
such delicacy begins to excite the suspicions of the Canadian
loyalists. We are no longer surprised at this. It certainly
harmonizes very ill with the prompt and decided proclamations
of the PIieSIDENT, and the circulars addressed by Mr. Secre-
tary FoRSTTH to the frontier authorities, comrisandingthe ob-
servance of a strict neutrality. The United States' Govern-
ment must be perfectly aware, long before this time, that nine-
tenths of the rebels now threatening an invasion of the British
territory are American citizens—that their leaders are Ame-
rican officers—that their arms are taken out of the American
State arsenals—and, in fact, that the war depart-
ments of the frontier States are virtually charged
with the preparatory cost of the expedition. With
the observance of a strict frontier neutrality, all thoughts
of an invasion of the British territory on the part of the
rebels would vanish, as MACKENZIE and PAPINEAU COUld
not raise one hundred men to dispute the right of her
MAJESTY to the sovereignty of a square foot of her North
American dominions. As it is therefore universally known
that the peace of our provinces is endangered nominally by
British subjects in a state of rebellion, but virtually by
American citizens, we cannot help expressing surprise at
the frivolous objections which have hitherto served to delay
the passing of the Frontier Neutrality Bill. Throughout
this affa,:r Congress has manifested no solicitude to impress
Foreign States with the strictness with which Republican
Governments adhere to the faith of treaties. The Reese..
DENT personally eaercised with laudable alacrity the discre-
tionary powers entrusted to him ; hut we regret to add that,
in the House of Representatives, his honourable and pacific
policy did not meet with that unanimous and hearty sup-
port which it would have done had the Members been
actuated by the princi?les of honour and good faith.
In our extracts from the New York Papers will be
found an account of a duel which took place at Washing-
ton on the 24th ult., between Mr. CILLEY, of Maine, and
Mr. Geeves, of Kentucky, in which the former was killed
on the spot. The combatants wore both Members of Con-
gress. and to make sure work of it, fought with rifles ! To
the disgrace of the Legislature, a public funeral was voted
for the remains of CILLEY. Were the moral civilization of
the States consulted, the surviving principal and the
seconds in this duel would be hanged, and the bodies of al
four handed over for dissection to the nearest College cf
Physicians.

The Dublin Election Committee decided this morning
that Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. HUTTON were duly elected•
What a blow for the Tories ! Their long purses—their
subscriptions collected from every part of the empire—their
array of pious pastors subscribing their funds to encourage
strife, and keep alive oppresion, have all helped them no-
thing. Already have the Tory journals complained bitterly
of mismanagement—of the SPOTTISWOOD Fund having been
wasted amongst certain families and their friends ; and now
that their nefarious scheme to turn out Mr. O'CONNELL
has broken down, they.will surely break their hearts. Ti.e
world can spare them.

Mr. Nl` HALE, who signs his letter JOHN TUAM, from
being the Catholic Archbishop of that diocese, has ad-
dressed another letter to Lord JOHN RUs•ELL, in which 11:-
reminds the Noble Lord of certain resolutions adopted by
the Catholic Bishops at a general Inceting held at Dubin],
in 1826. In substance those Prelates then declared that
the masters and ass:stants of any school forming part of a
system of national education, of which the majority of the
scholars were Catholics, should be Catholics, and ap-
pointed and removed by the said Bishops ; that the book.
intended for the instruction of Roman Catholic children in
religion should be selected or approved by the said Bishops ;
and that they, being appointed by Divine Providence to
watch over and preserve the Catholic faith and held re-
sponsible to Goo for the souls of their flocks, would not
support any system of education not in accordance with
these principles. JOHN TUA►i, following out these reso-
lutions, declares most emphatically to Lord Joni
Russr

Over the books used for the religious instruction of my
flock I have stated that I shall exercise, without regard to any
board, exclusive and absolute controul. It may now be
necessary to add, that I shall never intrust their religious
education to any person professing a different faith, or whose
faith shall be tainted by the religious training of any professing
a different creed. No master shall have the contralti of such
education who will rot be appointed with my express approval,
or removed upon my representation.
The Times, as is verynatural to that journal,vehemently
attacks these " usurping priests," and asks—
Was ever tyranny like this tyranny ? Were ever human
beings so trampled on, mind and body, or so mashed into a
mess of pottage, to be devoured by others, as these miserable
Irish Roman Catholics under their bludgeoneering priests ?
We think there is another tyranny, quite as bad or worse.
We are no defenders of Dr. WHALE'S assumptions ; but as
one clever and ambitious man is useful to oppose another
clever and ambitious man—as WELLINGTON was of great
use to put down BUONAPARTE, though we do not like
soldiers at all—we think JOHN TUAM may with propriety
be patted on the back to contend with HENaY EXETER.
He and his co-Bishi.ps are quite as scrupulous about allow-
ing religion to be taught in any public schools, except by
orthodox clergymen, and from orthodox books, as JOHN
TUAX and his brother Bishops. The Times we
are sure does not forget the impediments which
the Bishops and the Clergy of the English church laid
in the way of all instruction for the people, till they could
get a controul over it. But what the priests of the Esta-
blished Church do in regard to their own flocks is of less
importance than what they insist on doing for the flocks of
the Catholic Bishops. JOHN TUAX complains of an " insi-
dious scheme for severing the connection between the
Catholics of Ireland and their faithful pastors," and of "a sys-
tem of open aggression." But we did not require his autho-
rity for the assertion, that the English Bishops are resolved
to separate the Catholic people from their clergymen.
Has not HENRY EXETER, over and over again denounced,
in the House of Lords, the scheme of giving education to
Catholics, because it was not Protestant education ? Has
be not objected to the books and objected to the Catholic

priests interfering ? And has he not used his power as a
legislator to thrust his own religious tenets on the people
of Ireland ? The tyranny of JOHN TUAM, whatever it be,
is voluntarily submitted to ; but the tyranny of HENRY
EXETER and his co-prelates is upheld in Ireland, and can only
be upheld, by the bayonet. The Catholic pastors live with
their flocks, and may be supposed to know their wants.
The Protestant Bishops, even those who have sees in Ire-
land, are absent from that country half the year ; while
those who have sees in England, though they insist on
prescribing books, lessons, and masters for the Catholics,
are as ignorant of the Catholic Irish, and as much estranged
from these aliens as from the Sandwich Islanders. The
tyranny which HENRY EXETER, and the other Protestant
Saints would exercise over the people in Ireland, taking
their substance, and returning them insult and contumely, is
far worse than that of the Catholic Bishops, though neither
is commendable. We can excuse JoHN TUAM indeed, be-
cause he and his brother Prelates are not the aggressors,
and it is the avowed and determined project of HENRY
EXETER, and his legislating friends to stifle Catholicism,
which puts JOHN TUAM on his mettle to resist. The Times
once said, we " have too much Church"—if that phrase were
altered into too much priestcraft, it would meet with 'univer-
sal approbation ; and it is quite as true of Protestant Eng-
land as of Catholic Ireland.

We request the attention of our readers to the article in
another part of the Papor, headed " Poor of Camberwell."
In the petition of the Guardians of that extensive parish
will be found evidence in favour of the new system, which
must be considered peculiarly valuable, as coming from a
source which the enemies of that system, even though Lord
STANHOPE be numbered among them, will hardly dare to
question. And what do the Camberwell Guardians—the
men chosen by the rate-payers—say on the expiry of their
year of office ? That the able-bodied poor, who were for-
merly quartered in idleness on the resources of the indus-
trious, have betaken themselves to habits of industry, are
supporting themselves and their Limilies by their own
exertions, and that their morals, as well as their
comforts have undergone a marked improvement—that the
number of illegitimate children, which, in the two years
preceding the introduction of the amended law was fort; -
six, has diminished in the two succeeding years to ten—
that in conjunction with this great moral improvement,
there has been a reduction in the expense of more Man on•
half! Who is there that, after such a proof of the practi-
cal working of the new law, will not heartily unite
with the Guardians in the prayer of their petition, that
the Legislature " will not consent to any alterations affect-
ing the principles of a measure which, at a greatly lessened
cost to the rate-payer, affords on the one hand to the ne-
cessitous poor such ample protection, as under the old de-
fective system they could not be sure of, and tends, on the
other, to reform habits of idleness in the able-bodied, and
to restore such persons to the condition and character of
independence."

The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday
have been received. In the Chamber of Deputies on Fri-
day an angry discussion arose in eensequence of an ex-
pression which fell from M. A. DE LABOURDONNAYE in a
debate on the additional grant of 900,000 francs de-
manded by Ministers for military pensions. This gentle-
man charged the Government with placing Royalist officers
on half-pay, though willing to serve under the reigning
Sovereign, and in the course of his speech stigmatised the
Revolution of July as a " Catastrophe." A violent outcry
was raised on all sides, and an instant retractation de-
manded. The Duke of FITZJAMES, another Royalist,
defended the epithet as perfectly applicable, inasmuch as
the KING had used it in a letter to the EMPEROR of
Russia when notifying his accession to the Throne of the
Bourbons. This only added fuel to the flame. The
President rose and rebuked the Duke for employing the
KING'S name, and again called upon M.de LABOURDONNAYE
for an apology. This was refused, after which a vote of
censure was moved and carried by a majority of 224
against 20. This division is conclusive of the weak-
ness of the Royalists, who are reported to have mustered
all their strength on this occasion.
Letters from Bayonne, of the 21-st instant, state that
General O'DoNs ELL had succeeded in seizing and carry-
ing away 180 loads of iron ore from the Carlist mines of
Puente Pagallada. The Christinos met with little opposi-
tion from the troops stationed to protect the mines.
Annexed are extracts from the Journals :

A letter from the Valley of Aran, of 15th March, says—
" Carlistg, to the .:umber of 4,000 men, who were besieging
the little fortress of Gerry. were attacked on the 11th by a
Chriv.ino column, and fell back to Dort and Realpe, with the
guns which they employed in the siege, leaving many killed
and wounded on the field. But the Chriatinos did not long
enjoy their success ; they were surprised on the following day
by the Carlist division of Bruet, who had come to the aid of
the besiegers. They could not resist his attack, and retreated
precipitately into Gerrv. All that could not find an asylum
in that place, have either shut themselves up in Pyramega, or
fallen into the hands of the assailants. It is supposed that
this unexpected reversion, and the accumulation of Carlist
forces in the district of Talaree, will draw the attention of
Baron de Meer, who is expected with a strong division."—

Brussels and German papers have reached us this morn-
ing. In the Brussels Chamber of Deputies a project of
liw was under consideration for limiting the importatiorr of
salt to the ports of Ostend and Antwerp. It was violently
opposed in the name of the cities of Bruges, Louvain,
Ghent, and Brussels. Advices from Athens, of the Ist
inst., represent the state of Greece as improving, and the
KING as increasing in popularity. His 'MAJESTY was
then making a tour through his dominions, and had reason
to be satisfied with the reception given him by his subjects.
The following important extract includes the only other
news of any interest in these journals :
ANTWERP, MARCH 24. —lf the following lines are true, all
uncertainty respecting the manner in which the Cabinet of the
Hague intends to re-open the negociations must cease. The
following paragraph is in the Avondbode of this day, under
the head of Amsterdam, March 24 :

" We are informed, on good authority, that his Majesty the
King has authorised M. Dedel to sign the Twenty-four
Art Lies. It is pretty positively affirmed that his Majesty has
resolved to take this step in consequence cf the friendly repre-
sentations of the Ambassadors of England and France, re-
siding at the Hague, and who, since this important event,
have daily conferences on the subject with Baron Verstolk Van
Toehn, our Minister for Foreign Affairs."
We are not able to decide on the greater or less correctness
of this account of the Avondbode, but in our opinion it de-
serves a new degree of probability, from the unanimity with
which the Second Chamber of the States General has voted
the two financial laws for providing for the extraordinary •x-
-pences of the War-establishment, and for the payment of the
interest of the Debt.—Journal du Commerce d'Anvers,
March 25.

Letters from Frankfort of the 20th inst. state that on
the question of the division in the Chamber of Deputies of
Hanover, relative to the competency of that Assembly to
accept a new Constitution, thirty-one votes were given in
the affirmative and twenty-two in the negative. As nine-
teen constituencies have refused to elect Deputies under
the Letters Patent, there is clearly a majority in favour of
the Constitution of 1833. A dissolution was expected.

Letters and papers from Madrid to the 17th instant
have been received, but their contents are of no importance.
The Carlist Chief TALLADA was tried by a Court Mar-
tial, sentenced to be shot, and the sentence executed by
command of General OaAA on the 14th. The rebels
have suffered a series of reverses since the opening of
the present campaign. They are still formidable never-
theless.
