at the North and South American Coffee-house):—

" I have no important news to communicate except from Navy Island,
wher.,, the Patriots, so termed, are assembling in large forces with the
intention of making a descent on Upper Canada. It is a digrace that our
o,;vernrnent permits a force to be collected in that spot, with a view of
aiding the subjection of Canada. Arms, &c. &c., are constantly sent
from the States to aid the insurgents. I have just been informed that
unl,...ss some active measures are adopted by the United States Govern-
ment, the Minister at Washington, Mr. Tax, will demand his passport."
In the City, the news from Navy Island does not gain credit, being
taken clliefly from Democratic American papers.

HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.
(Posted at the North and South ,American Coffee-house.)
MEETING IN BEHALF OF CANADA.
The essence of Liberty consists in the freedom of discussion—
" Those who in quarrels interpose,
" Must often wipe a bloody nose,"
A few facts from modern history for thinking and calculating Americans.
The King of France interfered in the American revolution. Not for
his love of liberty, but his hatred to England : result—He revolutionized
his own dominions, and lost his crown and head. Austria and Prussia
interfered in the French revolution—reply—Vienna and Berlin, their
capitals, were entered by victorious French armies. Napoleon inter-
fered with Russia, and marched a victorious army of half a million of men
to Moscow : reply—Paris captured twice by invading armies. Napo-
leon bent all his powers and all his energies to the subjugation of Eng-
land—reply—He died a prisoner to England on the Rock of St. Helena.
_so much for the past.

paornEcv!!!—Americans will interfere with the revolt of Canada.
Results.— A declaration of war against America by England—An alli.
ante, offensive and defensive, between Jingland and Mexico—The ocean
swarming with British and Mexican privateers—British steam frigates
and privateers on all the great lakes, where they have little to loose, and
much to gain—The ports of Mexico defended by British fleets and gun-
ners—An expedition fitted outgo the West Indies, with an army of free
blacks—A dissolution of the Union !So much for interfering in the
quarrels of others. If, you set your neighbour's house on fire, a change of
wind may bring the flames you have kindled to your own dwellings.—A
treaty between nations is, virtually, a contract between all individuals of
each nation.—America be honest, and fulfil your contracts in the fac.,
of the whole world!

On Monday last a young man, by trade a baker,
undertook for a small wager to walk forty miles in eight suc-
cessive hours. He commenced his task at eight o'clock, from
the third to the fourth milestone at Shepherd's-bush. He
appeared much distressed the last two hours, and ultimately
lost the match by two minutes. A pedestrian of well-known
celebrity offered at the conclusion to walk the same distance,
and to perform the half backwarcs, withi:, eight hours; and a
match was concluded the same evening to come off on Monday
next, at Notting-hill. It has already excited a great deal of
interest, and bets to a considerable amount have been laid.
The task has never been attempted, but the pedestrian feels
onfident of success on account of the state of the weather.
The betting at present is five to one on time.

We are informed a petition, signed by fifteen hun-
dred innkeepers, hotel keepers, and licensed victuallers, resi-
dent in the counties of Devon, Somerset, and Dorset, has
been placed in the hands of Mr. Divett, the Hon. Member for
Exeter, by Mr. Edward Hughes, for presentation to the HOUSP
of Commons, fur the repeal of the tax on servants employed
in the business of inns, hotels, or taverns, repeal of the tax on
carriages let to hire with post horses, reduction of the window
tax upon inns, hotels, or taverns, and o',taining other altera-
tions that will secure them against those injuries the whole
trade are now subjected to.
