AMERICAN PAPERS.

Becton Papers to the I Ith June arrived this morn•'
ing. Front the Beams Gazelle Of the 10th we extract
the following :
" Accounts from Caw .a state that the Caraccas
Government have proh:bit;d the exportation of cocoa,
except in Spanish vessels.
" By the quarantine regulations in most of the
Southern ports, it is exacted, that all vessels coming
from the West Indies, or Spanish and Portuguese
provinces, shall he examined, and suffer such detention
as the nature of their cargoes and the sickness of their
crews shall demand. Coasters also, having contagious
merchandize on bosrd, Are to be detained by the
Health Officers for examination. -

CANADA.
The disputes hetwetar the Hudson's Bay Company
and the Nortli•West Company of Traders, in Upper
Canada—or, more properly, as matters now stand.
the dispute between Lord SSLKIRK and the Civil
Authorities, continued unadjusted at the dale of the
latest accounts. A Sheriff's warrant was some time
ago granted, by the Authorities of Upper Canada,
for arresting his Lordship, and an Order was sent by
the Adjutant-General in a Serjeant and d taehment
of the nth regiment, who were with his L. rdship as
a body guard, to assist in the metal o Al the war-
rant; but the Serjeant, it is :id, was kept in a state
of inioxicatinn, awl refused to obey .the order. and
the SHaaree, instead art being able to arrest his Lind-
ship, was ma to his prisoner. and was confined under
a military guard.
S tar as we understand the affair, the quarrel is
briefly this:—Lord Suring having boucht up the
greater part, if not the whole of the shares of the
Finds n's Bev Company, considering himself vested
with all the powers of its Charter, and interpreting
these in a way inim.c4l to the North We. 4 Company.
i seized by force :ertain lands, forts, and warehouses,
occupied by the latter, and interdicted the passage of
their commerce on the rivers, or through the territo-
ries which he called his own. property—and in these
conflict* some lives were lost, as we stated in tormer
accounts. Whether Pe considers himself indepen-
dent of the Civil Authorities of Upper Canada, in'
virtue of his charter, we know not, but it would appear
that his Lordship does not consider him-ell amenable
to their junsdicti. n; for by accoonts received yester-
day it appears that a Proclama iun has been published
by Sir JOHN COAPE SHRHBROOKS. Callorg on all the
merchants engaged in the commerce on the In lion
territories under the name of the Heson's Bay Com
I pany and the North West Company respectively, and
u, on all their servants and agents. to desi.t frum
hostilities ; and calling on all onions wh had here-
tolore been is his MAJESTY'S sei vice, and 1)4,1 since
enlisted or qagaged in the service of either of these
Companies, to quit such service within twenty-tour
hours after the Proclamation should be made knovan
to them; and ordering all to assist the Hch.ourable
Wle. BACHELOR COLTMAN, 4 Member ot Council,
and JOUN Fixrenunt, I:sq. Chairman of his *Ma-
JESTY'S Court of Quarter Seiskii f.,r the district 01
Q,nebec, dispatched with power, for that purpose, in
apprehending all persons guilty of the torecird entries.
But notwithstanding this Proclamation, we learn that
&reinforcement of fitty soldiers embarked at La Chine
to join h:s Los &hip, wider the command of his :agents,
on the 14. th May. Thesa men were also dithandtd
De Mouton's; and although they are not clothed or
armed as withers, their arms and accoutrements went
wi:h theirs, packed in cases, and the canoes contained
neither articles for trade nor implements for agricul-
ture. The whole patty was evidently intended All a
, military reinforcemente and answered the Commis
sinners who read the Governoes Proclamation to
them at La Chine, with cries of es nee tai 4.ordPl

The next acconnue it is possible, will bring tab the
resuk of the campaign in the interior during limier,
is Lord &LUSK had dispatched a strong party to
the Red River, under the orders of his former Gover-
nor, and two Ofrxers of.the De Menron's Regiment,
and there is every reason to dread that a conflict
would mute if they came in contact with the Had
Breeds and Indiattb in the Hams. It was understood'
that Sir JOHN Sfitutitenosa, convinced that Lora
Ssyntax would submit to no ordinary warrant or
antliot ity, had, after the intelligence of his ctmfining
the Sheriff, sent an ruder to the Commandant at
r Drummond's island, to dispatch as strong an armed
party AS he COlllO 10 the aasistatace. at de COMIIOI-
- at Fort Williams.
