By tilt. New York Papers •we learn, that a gen-
tle!zoir, who had ar ve.d. at that city. On the 2:ttli
o,,'tobcr, front the Northward, hadcommimicated
a iiiece cif hitellieence which excited a considera-
ble sensation. It purported, that a-party had ar-
tived,ont front England to take a particular sur-
v,e of the Canadian Lakes, consisting of Captains
l'YConner and o,'e", of the British NaVy, three
Secretaries, several Lieutenants, Midshipmen,
BittitsWain, &c. and who only a few days be-
fore were on board the Wolf frigate, on Lake
)1.1,f 1/01.19(1 to the upper part of the Lake
it h their sto-veying instruments—That Oeneral
l'•lttrrav (as'is stated a Wellington General) was
tit hank 10.090 troops under his orders, to be sent
from England in addi;ion to those already in Ca-
'nada—That the Crown lands had been given to a
nninher or ScOich ~erne atvirom had al-
1-catty arrived at Montreal from SeOtlatid. This
olorinist further stated, tinit the British- were
040nt to build a strong fortific,itinit on the Isle-
-o'..ix-Noix. at the li,wer end of Lake Chain-
aod had engaged several ships fort he
purpose of conveying stone as soon as the Lake
should opvn in :the Spring. Another account
states,, that a quantity of heavy ordnance had re-
cently arrived at the liland, and that. GO pieces of
beavY cannon had been brought tip the river St.
jor,.rince. Eight British regiments were expect-
ed in the province. Tice American papers say,
they do not mean to insinuate that these prepara-
tions are carried on with 110561,e int co tions , but
that Government ought to keep an eye upon
the. anovements of the British. Thits . the
ininds• of the 'New York Citizens are filled
with unfounded apprehensions -of.a fortigmenemy:
Ad vices were yesterday received from New York
to ihe date of the 9th tilt. The National Intelli-
g,encer of Oct. 30, informs us that a new tort is
