QUEEIEC, JULY 3.—. A difference has arisen be-
tween the American and British Commissioners,
under the Treaty of Ghent, which intimately in-
terests this Province. The Americans pretend to
establish their boundary within a few leagues of
-the River St. Lawrence at Matane, carrying it up,
still within a few leagues of the St. Lawrence, to
the highlands in the rear of St. T.lomas. On sail-
ing up the St. Lawrence, on walking on the cita-
del of Quebec,. we might see the American flag
waving on American territory ! We should no
longer have any land communication with our
sister colonies of Nova Scotia and New Brims-'
wick. Nay, we could not send- a courier, in win-
ter, to Gaspd or Chalcurs Bay. Isolated, laid
open on all sides ...I3nt we shall not continue
the subject. We trust our Commissioners will
be firm and circumspect. We have reason to be-
lieve that the Americans will adhere to their
pretensions to the very last. If they can get by
the pen what they could not get by the sword,
the world perhaps will tint blame them.—The
British pretensions go only to preserve what
we have, what we have always possessed, and
which forms the true boundary in America be-
tween Countries under separate Governments,
viz. " the height of land, between the waters
empting within their respective territories," and
which was, without eioubt, the limit intended by
• the framers of the Treaty which relates to this
boundary.
(Faom Foar WitAtArg.)—On last Drionday
morning, we understand, dispatches arrived in this
city frrim Fort William. According to rumour,
she following are the occurrences which tpdk

place at the Fort and in the Intetior. It is said
that Capt. D'Orsennens, with a considerable party,
left Fort William in the Autumn, and reached
Fort Dotiglas in Red River settlement about the
10th January. Report states, that he and his
party had made prisoners of a Mr. McLellan and a
Muns—Mainville, two persons supposed to have
been abettors in the murder of Mr. KevenCy ; it is
also reported that several Brulls had been made pri-
soners without resistance. About the Ist April,
several of the settlers had returned to Red River,
and it was believed that plenty of seeds had been
preserved to produce considerable crops this season
About the first of May, Lord Selkirk left
Fort William for Red River, leaving Mr. Spencer
and other persons in possession of the place.
We give these reports as we heard them ; but it
is expected further particulars will arrive in a few
Clays, giving a more detailed narrative of the se-
veral transactions that have taken place.—(Mon-

The LORD ADVocATE of SCOTLAND is attacked
in the Chronicle of this day because he " travelled
Post from Edinburgh to answer the charges that
bad been brought against him, and to challenge
and demand investigation." This is perhaps the
first time that a public Journal has cast censure on
Gentleman in a high office for being anxious to
clear his character from unjust and malignant ac-
cusations. He is then sneered at for haviag
delivered a prepared speech on the occasion,"
as Ville Gentleman in question was not allowed
to consider the subject (boring his journey, and
bad nothing to do but amuse and instruct himself
on the toad in 'reading the loyal columns of the.
!Morning Chronicle. lie is then menaced with a
Parliamentary enquiry." if," 1,9 the Chronicle
says, " his Lordship should then be in qffice."--,
This proviso is not withotit meaning; for it is in-
tended to cheer the drooping followers of Party
