MONTREAL, FEBRUARY i.

As an instance of the severity of this winter, the
Upper Canada Paper mentions, that the River Nia-
gara was frozen over soon after the commencement

of the new year, which has not happened for fourteen
years past.

We have also received a further supply of New
York Papers to the 14th February. The most pro-
minent article in them is the following account of
some disturbances at Ilivannah, which we suspect,
however, to be only a new version of a similar story,
which came to the Public through another channel
some weeks ago.

DISTURBANCRS AT 11AVANNAII.

EXTRACT Or A LETTER DATED DECEMBER BTlf.

" We have had, a few days ago, a mutiny amongst
the troops garrisoned here, that has filled, for three
days, the city with consternation; two of the regi-
ments, the Tarragona and the Fijo, whose term had
expired, called aloud for their leave to go home, and
refused to perform duty. However, owing to the
exertions of the Officers, they were made to march.
Next day being the turn of the Tarragona regiment to
relieve guard, a scene similar to that which hap.
pened the day before was anticipated ; a vast number
of persons assembled at the parade, and the same
refusal was made on the part of the soldiers, and the
same exertions on the part of the Officers ; but the
soldiers were obstinate, and it was even carried so
tar that one of the privates presented and wounded
his Captain ; in consequence of which a general
route took place; the city gates were shut ; the Gene-
ral beat to arms ; all the windows and doors of the
citizens were immediately barricadoed, and the panic
caught those outside the gates; but, in the mean
time the guilty soldiers were arrested, and the great
energy of the Officers again restored tranquillity."

Another Lisbon Mail has arrived, but the letters
and papers are only two days later than those pre-
viously received. The deliberations of the Cortes, of
which we have given a sketch in another part, pro-
ceed with the utmost regularity, and when every''
thing is duly considered, particularly the novelty of
such an assembly in Portugal, the talent, judgment,
and moderation displayed by the Members is really
astonishing, and in terms of this kind do our country-
men established there express themselves. Several
important questions have been determined. A nega-
tive has been given to the establishment of an Upper
House; the Veto of the KING has been limited, and
a satisfactory decision pronounced on the case of the
British Officers in the Portuguese service. The re-1
inoval of those Officers did not arise out of any en-
mity towards them, or disrespect for their talents
and former se: vices, but was occasioned solely by a
feeling of national independence. The Cortes and
Nation have clearly shewn that it was against the
principle of foreign domination alone which they
complained ; nor did they ever involve the general
body of the British Officers, living among them, in
those causes of disapprobation which they had ample
reason to attach to some individual members.

dressed to the Highest Personage in the Kingdom, on
the subject of the Weew, are handed about in the

derable surprise in tie quarter to which it is addressed.

The following is an extract of a letter from Buenos
Ayres, dated December 10, but for the truth of which
we cannot pledge ourselves:
" An express has this moment arrived from Chili, confirming
the news we received two days ago, of General SAN MAIITLN
having, on the Ist of November, destroyed General Seam's
army, of 4,000 men, near Lima, having drawn them into an
ambuscade of half his army, by feigning a retreat ; and leaving,
some trifling baggage, &c. to the Rbyal army, We heard this,
from General Guinan, Governor of Saks, who had it from the
Governor of Atacama, near Lima, and it was supposed the Pa-
triot Army would immediately enter Lima' as the Viceroy had
retired to the fortresses of Callao. Officialaccoucts ate hourly
expected, Our letters from Chili say nothing on the subject,
lint the express who brought them infornis vs that the bells
were ringing when he left Santiago, on account of the above
Dew's. The Spanish brig of war, with the Deputies, has sailed
without having landed, the Governor here refusing so treat with
them, unless they had powers to acknowledge tie independence
of South America. We have peace at last with the Montoneras,
but the Indians have advanced all along the frontier till within
thirty leagues of this town, committing the most horrid out-
rages. The Governor has gone out to drive them to theiipatri-
pas, and chastise them severely."
