Despatches are from General Wool, to the sth , inclusive, dated at
head-quarters, Champlain. The early indications of quiet had given
place to a revival of the Canadian war spirit ; and recently persons had
been actively engaged in collecting and concentrating, between Champ.
lain and Plattsburg, supplies of cannon, carriages, ball, small arms, and
ammunition, with the avowed intention of invading Canada, the first
favourable opportunity, at 3 points, viz., at Swanton, Vermont, Platts-
burg, and at some point between Ogdenburg and Watertown. The main
attack, it was believed, was intended to proceed from the Champlain fron-
tier. These circumstances had induced General Wool to call for
three companies of infantry militia, end some thirty or forty mounted
men. This corps had been judiciously distributed at the proper passes,
with guards near the patriots' depots, with instructions to detain them
the moment their removal should be attempted : and the greatest vigi.
lance was exercised to prevent and arrest these movements, and with
expected success. A material change had taken place in the public
mind ; so much so, that it was thought General Wool would be able to
obtain a volunteer force diffident to answer all present purposes.
The movement from the neighbourhood of Ogdensburg, we know, ha
proved an entire failure ; the poor creatures who composed the expedi-
tion having returned, half frozen; without setting foot on the main shore
of Canada. The most valiant of them, however, did cross the line, and
took possession of Maar,' Island—a feat which we suppose might have
been accomplished by one man, as easily as by three companies. By the
last accounts, General Skinner, who had been deputed by General Wool
for the service, with orders to call out a battalion front General Ilazle.
ton's brigade, had reached Watertown, and would proceed forthwith to
French Creek, and endeavour to secure the arms, &c., belonging to this
Late.

BUFFALO, rEB. 27.
Tit PATRIOT EXPEDITTA CausuEn —IAA night intelligence was
received that the Navy Island patriots were re-assembling at Comstock's,
eight miles up the lake. The civil authorities immediately proceeded
to the spot, accompanied by a detachment of troops, furnished by Colonel
Worth, with his usual promptness. On arriving, they found many of
the patriots assembled.

Guards and outposts were immediately established in the vicinity of
the authorities. In the course of the night it was ascertained that the
patriots had erected barracks, or places of shelter, on the ice, about six
miles from Comstock's, and nearly equidistant front the two shores.
This encampment seas under the command of Captain Burnham, of
the patriot army, with about 70 men, armed with pikes.
Judge Barker, Captain Ottinger, and other officers, accompanied by
about 30 soldiers, made a descent upon this encampment at about six
Wclock this morning. Captain Burnham put himself in a state of de-
fence, and then proposed a parley, which resulted in the surrender of
the munitions and men, two howitzers, 230 stand of arms, and one field
piece, which have been brought to this city.
Captain Burnham and several prominent actors were taken prisoners,
and are undergoing an examination before Justice De Forest.

BUFFALO, MARCH I
FROH Tlfß INF:ST.—ANOTHER EXPEDITION BROKEN UP,—Early this
morning we received by express the following intelligence, which, as it
comes officially, may be depended upon as correct :
" General Scott arrived at Monroe, Michigan, on the 25th ult.
On the 24th a patty of Patriots took possession of a small island in
the Detroit River, on_the Canada side, and the next day were dislodged
by the British batteries, and escaped to the American shore.

" They were about 150 in number, and were immediately disarmed
by Brigadier-General Brady, and suffered to disperse.

" A Deputy-Marshal is in pursuit of the loader, the Patriot Adjutant.
General APLeod.

" No other expedition has attempted to cross the frontier in that re-
gion. This is the fourth Navy Island expedition."

THZ LAST KICK OF THE CANADA REVOLUTION.—IL appears from
the annexed letter, which has been handed us for publication, that si-
multaneously with the contemplated invasion of Canada from four points
in the United States, viz., Alburgh, Vermont, French Creek, New
York, a point near Sandusky, Ohio, and a point on the Michigan fron-
tier, there was to be a rising of the disaffected in Canada. It appears
that such an attempt was partially carried into effect ; and that forty of
the insurgents were taken prisoners. The letter also states (what we did
not know before), that thirteen of the French Creek Patriots, all Am,
ricans, were taken prisoners. Altogether the" Revolution" has turned
out to be as great a farce as has been acted lately. We believe the dis-
turbance is now at an end.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER IRON/ A GENTLEMAN arracnnn TO TIIE
ROYALIST ARMY, DATED GANANDQUE,IIPPER CANADA, FED..9.S.

" Volunteer companies were ordered to Kingston, as well as this
place, to receive the enemy when he first set foot on her Majesty's soil.
As we have held ourselves in readiness at a moment's warning for two
months past, but an hour was necessary to assemble our company, and
start on our winters campaign. A few hours brought us to Gananoque.
We were just in season, for scarcely had we reached here, when we
saw the enemy approaching from French Creek towards Hickory Island,
distant from us about six miles. They were led by Mackenzie, Captain
Johnson,orm a a
daring fellow well known on both sides of the St. Lawrence,
and
resident of Cape Vincent, and a mats named Wells.
erlY
They appeared to be about one thousand strong. The whole of our
forees were immediately collected, in number only 200 infantry and one
company
but
just
artillery. Our orders were to make the attack in the morn_
nl-
g :t as we commenced our march, information was brought us
that Le enemy
had retreated from the Island.
We took Live prisoners on the island, all Americans, likewise found a
quantity or scrap iron, intended to be used by the artillery. Eight snore
prisoners have since been taken, also Americans, and found in arms.
They have all been sent to Kingston, where they will be tried to-day by
Court-martial, and according to a late Act of Parliament will be shot.
We have teamed from the prisoners taken, that the plans of the rebels
were for a general rise throughout the province. Mackenzie was to
attack Kingston from the American side, at the same tinso rebels from
the country were to conecmtrate their forces and attack it in the rear.
About 100 men from Belleville and the vicinity were already on the
march towards oath, where they were to be joined by several hundred
of the disaffected. But their plans were frustrated and 40 out of the
100 were taken prisoners.--Ellere follow the names, among whom are
many of the most respectable people of the country, and quite a large
proportion of merchants.] Some of the prisoners have turned Queen's
evidence, the consequence of widish is, that the authorities have the
names of all implicated in the rebellion, and have placed guards all
along the frontier to prevent their crossing over to the States.
The business of the country is entirely destroyed. Our merchants
will be great sufferers, and in many cases entirely ruined, as the pro.
perty of all engaged in the rebellion is confiscated and goes to the
Crowo. The merchants of the Upper Province are, I believe, largely
York, which I regret, as the prospect of meeting their
indebted to New
engagements is very distant.
JMPILISONNIENT ON MR. VAN RENSSELARR.—A letter from Auburn,
dated the Ist, states that the ex-generalissimo, Mr. Van Rensselaer,
the day before on a warrant issued by Judge Conkling, was arrested

county gaol.
ScoTT.—The report at I htladelphia, given by a letter of the
4th inst„ from 11, chester, that General 'Winfield Saott had been ;Icel_
dentally killed by one of his men, is, we hope and trust, incorrect.
The Buffalo papers of the ,jth make no mention of such report.

(From the SI. Alban's Messenger of March 1.)
Tug PATRIOT ARMY Disnststuto.--The Patriots have been collecting
for several days past on a small island east of Alhurgh, and other places
near the lines. Yesterday they left their encampment, passed over to
Alburgh, and et ossed the lines at Caldwell's manor, under the command
of Drs. Nelson and Cote, and encamped for the night about two miles
from the lines. •

This morning, upon organizing their forces, they became convinced
that they could not stand against the Royal forces that were marching
them. This morning, previous to disbanding, they received intelligence
of the defeat of M`Kenzie and Van Rensselaer. They therefore came
to the conclusion that " discretion was the better part of valour," and
delivered up their arms to General Wool, who met them at the lines and
received them, including two Sold pieces. The number who laid down
their arms was about 2.50. The whole amount of their forces was pro.
bably about 400.
Drs. Nelson and Cote have just arrived here, in the custody of Gene.
