Mina has returned from Aragon by Santzuessx.

tion to Aragon, which had not been attended with
success he promised himselt he expected to bruy,
back to submission the Chief of a band who mill not
acknowledge his authority, and whom he pursued
into Catatonia. He also hoped to be able to cam"
off the Duchess nt Albufera and her convoy, and
make prisoners the garrison of Huesca; he has Com
pletely tailed ; his troops have suffered considerabiy.
and he dues not obtain so many recruits as he es.

this city on Tuesday evening last, we have recei,
the following official notification, made to Major
Maule, comtnanding at that place, by Mond Ul.,
*tier, commanding the United States Mops on Moo*

tattirday morning last :
44 I hereby notify to you, that all perstins coming

Ist shipping, except by perulission from the Comman-
ding Officer of this frontier, will be treated as iples;
Mid will be made prisoners of war.'"
MONTREAL; bECEIVIBEI IS.
lalE-past Nine, A. 11.—We have been favoured
inch the following letters from a gentleman in Up-
per Canada to his friend in this city, dated
" Fort George, Dee. 9, 1815.
a DEAR Sui—test none of your troublesome friends
in this neighbourhood should have given you a sketch
of .Our late operations on this frontier, I will briefly
relate the occurrences of the 28th. About two hours
before daylight on that morning, the enemy effected
a landing at the upper end of 'Grand Isle, with about
400 then, and owing to his great superiority, a party
of the 49th regiment, under Lieutenant Lamont, after
gallantly opposing him for a considerable time, were
obliged to retire, and were closely pursued into a
battery, which was taken with that officer and many
of his party; Lieutenant Lamont having previously
received several wounds. Much about the same time
the enemy, owing to the great superiority of his
force, effected a landing at other points, carried se-
veral batteries—Lieutenant King, Royal Artillery,
was severely wounded and made prisoner.
" As soon as day had sufficiently dawned to
distinguish friends from 'foes; our reinforcements
which had assembled from all points, were concen.
traced under the judicious arrangements of Lieute-
hant-eolonel Bishop, who, alter reconnoitring the
enemy's force and position, and after a very sharp
conflict, obliged him to make a precipitate retreat, to
his own shore, 'leaving their Commanding Officer
with 38 prisoners behind, and lg dead on the field ;
it is supposed the enemy carried nearly 100 killed
and wounded, in their boats during the morning.
" This gallant achievement has not been perform-
ed vOkhout a severe loss, which chiefly fell on the
49th.—The return states 12 killed, 15 wounded, and
N prisoners. The latter, lam happy to add, have
been already exchanged. The militia have also lost
from 10 to 15 killed, %rounded, and missing. The
enemy had the presumption to send over a summons
to Lieutenant-Colonel Bishop, during the morning,
requiring the surrender of Fort Erie; who of course
returned the obvious answer—" Come and take if."—
A second landing was attempted with about 600 men,
at the lower end of Squaw Island, but being promptly
opposed by our hoer's, and one 6-pounder, they were
compelled to retreat with great loss. It appears the
troops have been in a decided state of mutiny at Black
Rock, and General Smyth pronounced his want of
confidence in the American militia—he was fired ati
several times, and very narrowly escaped with his
life. I believe the militia have, generally speaking,
broken up for the Christmas holidays, and gone to
their country houses."
Other letters have been received in town, from the
teat of the action, which mention the American force
to have been 6000 men; 8000 of which had actually
embarked. The boats which attempted to land near
Fort Erie, were dreadfully mauled. Two were sunk.:
those which returned were not able to muster more
than two or three oars. General Smyth was obliged,
aftei the battle, to run away from his troops, to save
his life.

There is no arrival from the Baltic to-day; but a
vessel from the French coast has put us in possession
if some important information tespecting the army
in the North. The Russians, leafing the Vistula
behind them, :Tte now advancing towards the Oder,
having previously placed Dantzic and Thorn undet
strict blockade. This rapid advance was the real
cause Of the King of PausstA's departute for Bres-
lawi where his family has followed him. The true
character of his journey may be bat ascertained by
the circumstance of his having proceeded from Poti-
ilani direct for Silesia; Without fishing Berlin, which
ay almost in his way. The truth probably is, that
.he Russians were within a few days march of his
Capital at the time.
SCHWARTZENISZaGo the denernl of the Austrians;
',as resigned his command, probably in disgust ; or
may we ndt hope that he has been ordered to Vienna,
,o assist in arrangements for a campaign of a dif-
ferent description .than that in which he has been re-
t-ntly engaged. Be this as it may, Warsaw is now
be completely covered by the corps of SCH.
:NBERG and RE:_;ma. It was but the othet
rover, that we were told that POSIATOWSKY
fifth corps, reinfbtced by 301000 fresh troops;
a condition to bid defiance to all attempts
'arsaw. If the Russians have left this place
sated, we may fairly suppose that it has been
they had higher game in view. Prussia, and
All of Germanyi as securing the free naviga-
ths Baltic, anda a partial return of the bles-
commerce, are certainly more valuable ac-
as than the regeneration of Poland.
