FROM THE QUFRFO GAZETTR*

INDIAN NoS•I'ILITY.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ST. MARY'S, DATED OCT. 8.
hayes just r. ceived a letter from Colonel
sreit it's camp on St.Joho's, stating that Dr. Caldwell
and Captain Whitt.riter had kist arrived there from
Covnel Newman's quarters, who was at Lower India
town, with 100 men, and stated, that on Sunday last,
the ',bans met Col. Newman with about an equal
number, in the Pine Woods, and had an engagement,
and that Newman had one man killed and seven
wounded. The Indians left seven dead on the field,
and carried all they could away.
.. About sun-set, on the smile day, the savages re-
newed the attack, with about double the number, and
fought till night.
The two messengers aboVe named did not kno*
the result, having been dispatched that night to Co:.
]Duel Smith for men, horses, and provisions, which
were hastening on. I hope for the best, but fear that
Coionei wman, 'with his braVe little band of-he-
roes, wil ben a critical Situation, unless timely suc-
cours are received.
4. Other letters in toted Plate the intelligerke above
mentioned, so far as Wain)* liatitik had a battle
with the Anglo-Spanish Indians) beyond the possi-
bility of a doubt."
MONTREAL, NOV.
On Thurday arrived from Lachene 100 men of
the Ist battalion of Montreal Militia, after having
performed g Week's duo; at that place. They *ere,
relieved by an equal mirbbet from the 2d battalion. .
We have it on the authority of several boatmen of
integrity, that a large body of Americans (stated at
more than 3000 men), from Sacket's Harbour,. had
landed about 18 Miles above Kingston, on Tuesday..
Lit. The British forces of every description *ere.
-Instantly put in motion, and about 5 P.M. an laces.'
.cant firing of artillery was distinetlr heard, whisk
lasted until dusk. The result was not known, btii
we doubt not of its having been as glorious as the
battle of Queenstown. Every one acquainted with
the brave 49th, and the loyal and high spirited peo-
ple of Kingston will agree with us in opinion, that
their invaders will be discornfited, and covered with
shame.
It is added, that the 40-gun ship, laid about sir
weeks ago at Sacket's Harbour, is already launched.
We believe this report, because it is known 140 car-
penters were employed, • besides 300 sailors. Such a
number f lands were perfectly adequate to do the
work in that short space of time. Unless we use every
exertion, the Ameriihns will be superior to us in the
lakes. If we had but experienced seamen, with pro-
, per offiars; we might set them at defiance.

We have already mentioned, that several '4l=l
ships have been ordered tO be cut down to the rate of
the heavy American frigates. The number of ships of
war to be thus fitted will be six, and two frigates are
to be immediately built upon a similar construction.

The crews and officers of this n description of 1
naval force will be selected with Neat care; and, like
certain regiments in the military service, they will
be in the Navy what May not inaptly be termed
wrack Ships.
It will be seen, on Wining to the Extracts fiott the
American Papers in our columns of yesterday, that
the land war against Canada ptogresses" heavily.
Another American army, consisting of X3OOO Ten,
under the command of a General 1-lorxins, after
marching and counter•marehing for several days
without meeting an enemy, at length laid d)wn tlfeirr
arms, and quietly returned to their homes. Want
of provisi,ons is assigned as the cause of such a blood-
less termination to this formid tble expedition. :The
short-sighted Atnericans, although eager to adopt the
policy of Posspanxn, seem to have forgotten that
there are some countries in which eg war canna- itip.
port war." We sincerely trust that General tizak-
BORNE'S army' will, to a man, follow the prudent
example .of their fellow-citizens under General FLOP-
KI VS.

Much chagrin has naturally beeft ekpressed a the
capture of tke MACEDONIAN frigate, and to give a
proof, no doiibt, of the correctness of the adage, that
misfortunes never come single,i' some of our contem-
poraries fabricated a report of the capture of the
AnamusA frigate, with half a million of dollars on
board. In order to bring up their lee-way with the
public, the same adventurous Gentlemen last night
merrily proclaimed in a Second Edition, the capture
of a French frigate by the BELLE POOLE. It is need-
-I,:ss to add, that no such events have taken place.
With respect to the AItETIICSA) the fact is, that Cap-
tain GRIFFITHS, Of the LEONIDAS, DOW at Plymouth,
lice from Cork, spoke a vessel from the West Indies,
Nhiell informed him that the Aar•rsrt;sA had been
':4ht io a hurricane in the Gulf of Florida ; had
tht -an all her guns overboard, and run into the Ha-
vannall fur shelter. Several vessels were dismasted
'hit %%Int in company, and we understand that great
damage hats been done in that quarter, both by sea
all land. The AEETIIUSA was sire in the Havan-
nah on the 27th of October, being nearly ten days
vent to her reported captzre.
