further operations.

The interest in the Details from Sir GEO. PRE-
VOST is absorbed in the more recent intelligence
from America received this .mornnz, and of
which the following is the substance:— •
"•HALIFAX, JAN. 19, Two O'CLOCK P. NI.—HIS
Majesty's'brig Raleigh, Captain tiOOPER, arrived
this afternoon, in eight days passage from Passa-
maquoddy; left there his Majesty's sloop Martin,
and Curlew and She!bourne schoonets. Had
Atherican Papers, containing the_Embargo Act ;
sent them on board the Martin.

HALIFAX, JAS. 19.--4 he Quebec-Mail arrived
on Monday evening last left Quebec on the 22d
ult. By it two very interesting General Orders

•Avvre received ; one, announcing the further im-
prisonment of American 'Officers under the reta-
liatory system ; the other, the capture of Fort
George, on the 12th of December, by a Britkli
•
force. •

QUEBEC, DEC. 14.—Private lettters from Up-
per Canada, dated at York, the 2tr Dec. men-
tion the loss of part of the enemy's Squadron on
Lake Ontario ; one large vessel is said to be on
shore at Grier's farm-yard, with her sides knock-
ed in ; one large vessel wrecked off the Light-
house at Niagara, supposed to be the Maddison,
with her rigging► above water ; one Missing, said
to be sunk, with Geti Harrison and some troops
on board. The schooner Lady. of the Lake is
stranded between the Ten at4d Twelve Mile
Creek, on our side of the Lake ; one other. vessel
on shore below the American Fort, The loss
of the Maddi Son and the Lady of the Lake are
mentioned as beyond a doubt.

MONTREAL, DEC. H.—Letters are -in town
ffff
from Forty Mile Creek, dated (we believe) the
2d instant. They report, that the gale which did
so much injury to the American fleet on Lake On-
ta: io, has proved more disastrous to drat on Lake
Erie ; ten vessels are said to have been stranded,
or,totally lost. Some time tifter the storm had
subsided, two of them are said to have pine down
the falls of Niagara. We think nothing'is more
probable.
QUEnEC, Dec. 21.—Yesterday morning arrived
in town, front Montreal, his Excellency the Go-
vernor-General.—Now that the Campaign is end-
ed, the legislative one may he expected soon to
begin. It is expected the Militia Laws will en-
gage much of the tithe of the Legislati'e."
Upon these we have only ti) observ(., that the
dates put an end to the rumour of another victory
having been. obtained . over Gen,eral.WHAutzsoN:
The dreadful disat'ers experienced by lie Enemy
on Lake Ontario, must put a period to their so
much vaunted predominancy in that quarter, and
help to render the war and 'the President and his
faction odious in the United States.

lii our third page arc very important extracts
from Madrid Papers. The Usurper has been try-
ing to make a tool of the heroic PALArox, who,
we trust, will not disgrace his name, but act
the part of the REGULUS of SPAIN. The prof-
fered restoration of FERDINAND must be laughed
at it that country, .'hen it is know 'n, by
Baron St. AGNAU'S official note, that it proceeded
not from from ILis Kidnapper, but was insisted on
.as a sine Qua ►ion by the victorious Allies. Spain
(see the obServations on the fraudident and, delu-
sive offers of the Corsican) scorns justly to appre-
ciate the charicter of
.her treaCherOus foe, and to
know where the debt of obligation is due.

Last night a King's Messenger was sent off
from theq+'oreign Office to the Earl of cl.pi-
CARI'Y, at the Hague.' After delivering his
patches- to his Excellency, we understithiqfe
to proceed to head-quarters. •
