We learn that the lllitourable William 114‘Gil-

found Mr. Spencer, formerly Sheriff of the Red

" Further accounts from General Mina have reach•
ed town. They state that the General and his Army
on the ISth May were at Soto 14 Marina, in high
spirits, and would march 1,500 strong to attack the
Royalists on the .20th. We have been politely
favoured with Bulletin No. 1. el General Mina's
Army, as also his addresses to the Spanish soldiers of
King Ferdinand, anJ a patriotic song. On his land-
ing they went on shore for the help of Samuel Barry '4

QUEBEC, WIX 3.

A difference has arisen between the Atherican and
British Commissioners, under the Treaty of Gl:ent,
which intimately interests this province. The Ame.
ricans pretended to establish their boundary within a
taw leagues of the River St. Lawrence, at Matane,
carrying it up, still within a few leagues of the St.
Lawrence to the Lighlands in the rear of St. Thomas.
On sailing up the St. Lawrence, on walking on the
citadel of Quebec, we might see the American flag
waving on American territory! We should no longer
have any land con;munication with onr sister colonies
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Nay, we could
not send A ccurier, in winter, to Gaspe or Chaleurs
Bay. Insulated, laid open on all sides But
we shall not continue the subject. We trust cur Corn.
naissioners will be firm and circumspect. We have
reason to believe that the Americans will adhere to
their pretensions to the very last. It they can get by
the pen what they could not get by the sword, the
world perhaps will not blame them. The British
pretensions go only to preserve what we have, what
we have always possessed, and which forms the true
boundary in America between countries under sepa-
rate Governments, viz. '6 the height of land, between

the waters emptying within their respective terr:t
ries," and which was, without doubt, the limit in-
tended by the framers of the Treaty which rthte.

are the occurrences which took place at the rort ori
in the interior. It is said that Captain D'Orsenners,
with a considerable patty, left Fort William in :I'"e
Autumn, and reached Fort a,u,s_las in Red River
Settlement about the 10th of loran'''. Report state!,
that he and his patty had made prisoners t,t • Mr.
McLellan and a Mons. MailAcille, two persons stir-
posed to have been abettors in the murder pt

been made prisoners without resistance. About the

had been preserved to produce considerable crnl,s ti,ii
