Extract of a letter from Quebec. dated June 12.
says-44 The arrivals and clearances at the pc.rts of
Kingston and York, on Lake Ontario, and of buffalo,
on Lake Erie. amount to upwards of SO schooners
and other small vessels, in the course of about a tort-
night; there are besides two large steam boats, for
goods and passengers, which are now plying on. Lake'
Ontario and we understand one has been Milt or is
building on Lake Erie. Thirty years ago. these Lakes
were navigated only by Indiamanoes, hartearrx, and
two or three small vessels, chat' employed in con-
veying goods for the fur traders. Their banks, and
the shores of St. Lawrence. beyond 50 miles above
Montreal. were then inhabited only by the occupiers
of a few houses built in the vicinity of the military
posts. At the present day the population in these
parts cannet be much less than halt a million. The
majority of the population is, indeed, within the Limits
of. the United States; but their outlet to the sea, the
great highway of all new countries to a market, isby
the St. Lawrence. The natural facilities which this
river and the lakes offer to navigation, are unparal-
leled, extending. With a few interruptions, nealy 2000
miles. They can badly be rivalled by any canals,
which pre. always accompanied with enormous ex-
penses.'' . •

" They have now at sea fifteen Lail of boats erlaiZ-
ing to the Southward, between Cape Rasele..te and
Muscat; five sail up the Gulph. between-Cape Ver-
&sten, Bushire, and Bussorah, and four sail ready for
sea, lying off the town, lnd intended to sail in a few
days to cruite .the Qulph: besides these, they have
about forty or f.fty sail. of vessels in the harbour for
emergencies. theJoasmers will now consider
all further ties of amity at an end. there can be little
doubt, aid that t':ey will attack all vessels they my
meet with. All merchanr-ships, therefore. conking
to the Gulellkou2hr ol be advised to he on their guard,
and he capable to rt.pcl attacks from boats."

" Their power at toa, in and out of the Golf,
is very great, comparatively with our Merchant ves-
seb., who, without doubt, will be all captured, if they
come singly, as /he Lascars in gtneral have an idea
that it they do not fight at a:1, ti.eir lives will be
spared ; every ship must fall without a chance of
escape. The Chaikneer will do her utmost to pro-
tect the trade, and can do it completely with one or
two cruizqrs. Voi!r Excelleccy will understand it to
be my intention, till I receive fut ',her orders from
you to arrange regular convoys. between Muscat,
Bushire, and Bussora!t, and a; I am aware of the
number of ships likely to come up the Gulf, I hope.
to be able to ensure the safety of the Bi itish trade,
till your Excellency's intention of humbling these
horrid pirates can be carried into execution."
