CANADA.

We extract the following from the Quei ec .111cr.
cury, of the 3d of July, as it tends to shew the pros-
perous state of our North American Colonies :

" Lumber imported from Canada has always been
preferred to the importation frOm the United •Staies ;
kind Government, as well as iniividuals, have lately
found that Canada staves and timber answer every
purpose of, and are in many respe&s superior to the
same articles imported from the Baltic. • By encou-
raging the grOwth of our own colonies in preference
to the produ&ions of other countries, besides the
great advantage to be derived from the increaseu
number of British shipping employed thereby, we
shall shortly become quite independent of foreign
supplies. It will, therefore, give us sincere pleasure
to hear of the future increase and prosperity of the
infant city, the foundation of which is announced in
the following extra& :
" On Friday last was sunk, in the basin of the
river Chaudiene, in eighteen feet water, a wharf,
which, when completed, will afford a surface of
, four thousand superficial feet, and be capable of re-
ceiving nearly twenty vessels afloat, completely
sheltered from the easterly winds; which will enable
'them to load at all times of tide, and in the most
tempestuous weather. A large warehouse is to be
erected on each end of the wharf, capable of con-
taining one hundred thousand bushels of wheat. The
,Province is indebted for this spirited undertaking
to the Honourable H. Caldwell, Proprietor of. the
Seigniory, through which the river Chaudiene
runs into the river St. Lawrence. On Saturday an
elegant entertainment was given by George Hamil-
tOn, Esq. for the purpose of celebrating the com-.
menCenient of the undertaking;, when the city in
'embryo, was baptized by the auspicious name of
New Liverpool. The ceremony was performed
with the acciiStomed formality by Mr. Wyo. B.
Coleman, ,who broke on the front of the wharf a
bottle of wine ; the sponsors, Mr. John Stewart,
and Mr. I. D. Hamilton, promising, on the part of
the young town, that they should endeavour, in all
things, to follow the good e*ample of industry and
enterprize, by which her parent city has risen to
such an unexampled state of greatne” and prosperi-
ty. The company was numerous and highly resped-
able ; several appropriate and loyal toasts were drank
on the occasion, and the day concluded with-the ut-
most conviviality."

The following Extra& of I Letter, received by the
last Malta Mail, confirms some of the intelligence
we formerly received by the way of •Gottenburgh
and Heligoland :
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 6.—The arms of the
Ottoman Port continue to triumph, and it is• verified
that the viaories already published have been by far
more important and decisive, than it was at first be-
lieved. On the 3d of May, the Russians lost
before Isrnael not less than fifteen thousand
men, and 'on the I atil of the same nionth,
the remaining part of the corps which assailed that
fortification was driven away to del Fume Serath
with the additional loss of 200 men. On the 23d
of-May the Russians were again defeated, though
with ncri material loss, and driven to Zimneza,
village lins. the left side of the Danube, opposite to
Sistora. All reports concur in stating', that the
greatest discontent exists in the Russian army, there
being a great difference of opinion among the offi-
cers with respect to the war against Turkey -and
England. A great number of deSerters have passed
from the Russian 'Camp to•the Turkish army. The
Servians have also been beaten by the Turks near
Widden, and 500 heads have been sent to the Porte
as a token of this vi6tory. Similar adVantages have
been obtained over the Servians in the vicinity of
Festerlem. . Yesterday, the sth of Jime, the Su-
blime Porte received the news that the Servians have
been defeated by the Ottoman troops sent by his
Highness Horshed Paella to Montossa and Camenza,
near Nissa. The Turks, after cutting to pieces a
number of the enemy, took 7000 prisoners; and
made themselves masters of the Servian artillery and
ammunition."

Au article in the Papers whidh were on Wednes-
day received from Portugal states, that immediately
af►er the battle of Talavera, such was the consterna-
tion of the French, that orders were dispatched to
Madrid, dirthing immediate preparations, for the
evacuation of that capital. The Governor-General
BRLLIARD, in consequence, ordered all the waggons,
carts, horses, and mules, to be put in a state of re-
quisition, for the purpose of carrying off the 'trea-
sure at an hour's notice. Another order was also
given, that previous to the evacuation, the inhabi-
tants were to furnislt.a sum amounting to twenty-
-four. millions of rials._

*he report of Lord . WELLINGTON having been
appoihted Generalissimo of the Spanish forces was
not altogether. without ,some foundation. It now
appeari that an receiving the accoant of the vietbry
of TalaVeta, the Supreme Junta immediately .con-
lefied upon his Lordship the rank and pay of a Cap-
tain General of Spain. The pay Lord W. refused to
accept, and he also deClioed accepting the distinc-
tion of rank offered him until he should have receiv-
ed his 'Majesty's permission to accept it.
