AP The ernvoy from Malta for England arrived
*Pre yestn-day. Tl•e7 are all under strict quarantine,
LA every precaution 11, taken to prevent the introduc-
tion of the pligue into this place.
The season has been rather unhealthy here, and
bilinus fevers have b en very prevalent s amongst
others wh,, have been carried off by them, we have
to regret the loss of Lieutenant Latimer, the Garri-
son Qnarter-Master, who is much lamented by the
Why l Gartisiin."

The Gibraltar Chrmatle of the 19th ult. contains the

31‘0 hnr.e. I howitzer, and 4 mountain pieces, composed the
enemy% force., attacked, us; and we rove them back,
d touted them, with scarcely 3000 foot and 30 horse. The
ft hi tit bent.e wa4 strewed with *lead bodies and military spoils,
arta an obsinate action, which lasted from half-past seven till
half past :weive• in the morning. The enemy have withdrawn
upwau's of 400 wainded, exclusive of a good many whom they
abardesned on the Villa-franca road, by which they precipitately
ellivtea their r:t,.at A number of muskets and other effects
fume tallest into our bawls and also a pretty considerable num-
ber of prisoners, most of them w °unfit tl."

MONTREAL, MAY 9.

We understand that the ship Sir George Prevost
was launched at Kingston on the 29th tilt. She is said
t• he a temirkably fine vessel, and of equal force to
a frigate or 28 gulls.
The fol t,witig is a correct list of the American
n:.:vy (11 the l•kes, exclusive of three or four small
cl at t which serve as store-ships, hut are not named :
It p I‘l,.disots, 28 guns ; leig Oneido, 18 ; schooner
lientoton, 9 ; Covet nor 'Pt rupkins, 6 ; Conquest 3 ;
Growl r. 5 ; Pt rt. 3 ; Fair American, 4 ; Julia, 2 ;
Ovm, , 1 ; Scourge, 8 ; Elizabeth, 2 ; and Lady
of the Lake, 3
1 I i.—We are informed that the first division
of 11,e sc,nitn arrived at the Coteau du Lac yester-
day n otteng, and the remain er left Lachine about
the s; me t me. They mid probably all be at Kings-
ton on hutsday next, just six weeks from their de-
parti:re ;torn England—the expedition with which
they have been wafted to our assistar,ce, is in our
opiniun the happy prelude to their successful efforts
in our defence.

Co!Niel Halket, of the 104th regiment, arrived
here yeste:jay irc,m Kingston. We are informed that
Major-General She,4ffe, with the troops he had re-
ated with front York, had arrived here.
His Excdlency and Suite, and S:r JAMPs Lucas
Ye.', left this city for Lite Upper Frovince, at half-past
t.eso k 1.1 is afternoon.

MAY-15.—We understand' Capt. Barclay, of the
N ivy, has ordered 8 or 10 gun-boats, Lf 60 feet keel,
to be immediately built in Kingston ; these will be
fil,ished in a very few weeks.
