AMERICAN PAPERS.

" NEW YORK, JULY 6.—The British ship Alli-
gator, Captain Canning, arrived at Qtrebec on the
28th ult. with Colonel Cockburn and Lord Valentia
on board. Colonel Cockburn proceeds to Upper
Canada, on the business of his mission, and will re-
turn to embark for England in about a fortnight.
" The first Quarter Division of the 15th Regi-
ment, commanded by Lieut.-Colonel Mackintosh,
has arrived at Quebec from Cork, and also a de-
tachment of recruits of the 79th Highlanders from
Scotland. The 15th Regiment is to repair to Upper
Canada. _ _

" Severe frosts were experienced in the district of
Quebec on the nights of the 24th and 25th of June.
The tender vegetables sustained considerable injury,
and the leaves of the forest trees bore testimony to
the severity of the cold.
" DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF THE LATE GALE ON
THE LAKES.—The accounts of disasters on Lake St.
Peter are very distressing, and it is impossible to
say what extent of damage has been done. Four-
teen rafts, it is believed, have been shattered, and by
some accounts the number of lives lost is estimated
to be nearly 100.
" NEW YORK, JULY G.—NATIONAL JUBILEE.--
The city was, as usual on such occasions, full of com-
pany of all classes. The different societies and the
military made their accustomed exhibitions, and
though the day was excessi7ely hot, much enjoy-
ment and hilarity prevailed. We extract. below from
the account given by the Post :
" It is said that the police calendar has never had
so fair a record to show, on the morning of the 4th
of July, since the declaration of independence. How
the account stands this morning we have not heard,
but we fear not so well.

" The military arrangements of the (lay suffered a
little by the mutiny of one of the regiments, who on
this anniversary of the national independence took
occasiora to celebrate their own particular independ-
ence also, refused to obey their otlicers, and went
home. The whole regiment, we learn, have been
placed under arrest. The remainder of the troops,
however, made an excellent appearance.
" The shower which came up about three o'clock,
was attended with its advantages as well as its in-
conveniences. The pedestrians of the street who
were not provided with umbrellas suffered consider-
ably in their habiliments, particularly the fair sex ;
and the side walks showed a long and melancholy
procession of wet pantaloons, drabbled gowns, and
discontented faces. The sovereign people who came

. .
to feast their eyes with the sumptuous viands pre-
pared for the stomachs of the worshipful corporation
and their guests, were somewhat drenched for their
curiosity ; but to the corporation themselves the
elenients seemed lavish of their propitious influences.
The rain tempered the irnmOderate heat bf the deif,
so that by five o'clock this reverend body were
enabled to enjoy their turtle soup and champaigne
with great comfort, in a cool and refreshing atmos-
phere. The dinner, which was prepared by Mr.
Peckwell, was pronounced by an excellent judge of
these matters to be well prepared arid ...Well served up.
" There were a great number of aquatic eva-
sions ; and during the rowing matches the North
Rilrfk, opposite Castle Garden, was literally covered
with steam-boats; arid small craft of every de-
scription; The rowing match between the boats
Despatchi &Ilan, and Washington, for 150 dollars,
took place at four o'clock. The foriner won the race.
" We are sorry to be obliged to state, that a sail
boat in the East River was unfortunately.overset by
the gust which preceded the shower. There were
five people iii it, three of whom *ere picked up, and
the other two drowned.

" JULY 4, 1827.—The Friendsiof the Adminis-
traliOn of the General find State GoVernments' cele-
brated the 51st anniversary of the declaration of in-
dependence with that gratitude, harmony, and hi-
larity for which the occasion calls. At 12 o'clock
they met in the State-house, where the declaration
of independence was read by Samuel Rush, Esq.,
and an oration delivered by T. I. Wharton, Esq.
The thanks of the Meeting were returned to both
the gentlemen for the very handsome manner in
which they 'severally discharged the duties which
had been imposed npon them, and requesting from
Mr. Wharton a copy, for publication, of his very ex-
cellent oration.

" A little after two o'clock the company, more
than 200, exclusive of guests, sat down to dinner in
the Grand Saloon of the Masonic Hall. The room
Was tastefully decorated with military flags, portraits,
&c. The orchestra was occupied by the music at-
tached to the marine corps. The table was covered
with a great profusion of the best meats, fowls, fish,
vegetables, pastry, and such other good things as
the season affords, and a liberal spirit and good taste
pointed out. The liquors were good, the Cham-
paigne, Madeira, and Claret, were excellent, and we
had great pleasure in remarking that the company
were fully sensible of the value and flavour of what
was provided. The dinner was procured and pre-
pared by Mr. Lambert Keatting, to whom the Com-
mittee of Arrangement and the company owe obli-
gations for the gratifying manner in which all their
wants were supplied.
" Samuel Wetherill, Esq. acted as presiding
officer; the Hon. Joseph Barnes, Alderman John
Geyer, and Colonel C. C. Biddle, officiated as vice-
presidents."
" NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 7.—The Colombian
armed schooner Bolivar was yesterday condemned in
the Court of Admiralty, for violation of the laws of
the United States, in firing on an American vessel
with intent to plunder. In the case of the „Antoinette
a vessel captured by the Bolivar, 2,500 dollars were
decreed to the pilots who recaptured her, as salvage,
of which sum 1,000 dollars were adjudged as the
portion of Mr. Matthews, one of the pilots.
" We understand that the Court observed, that
had Captain Bateman, of the Antoinette,' put in a
claim for salvage, lie would have been allowed a
larger amount than any other person."
