CANADIAN IN PELLIGENCE.

(From the iJetroit Daily Free Presi efun. 11.
The steam-boat Erie was forcibly taken from this port on
Tuesday nielit, by a body of. men belonging, it is supposed, to
the patriot force,on Whitewunil Island. •The alarm bells were
rung, and our citizens generally rallied as soon us possible. to
the wharf, but before any considerable .nuitiber hail:collected
the boat and her men were Otli.of the reach oroar authorities.
We understand that the proper idlicers- proceeded yesterday to
the seat ialwar, to recover the limit and arrest the offenders,
The.following is from the i;azittte:of the ]sth

measures accordingly. The boat arrived at. SIIVRE Island, lie-
lotozing 1., our government in the course of Thursday evening,

After enterini). the camp, Governor Mason immediately hail an
earnest conversation with. the officers in command—remon-
strutted with them aoainst their illegal occupation of our terri-
tory—assured them that it oink] not he suffered with impunity,
and urged them to abandon their enterprise. We are uratified.
to state that the appeal.hail its effect, and that the Erie, in the-
course of the night. took the whole force, with its effects, from
the island. and put it upon the mainland, .whence- it was to dis-
perse, -and the men return to theii homes. -
In the Legislature testerday the following preamble and
resolutions were offered :

.ate far from wishing. unnecessarily to ilenienwe them, or wan-
tonly to wound their , feelings: lint certainly, there is in this
,something, verb .remarkable, somerliin.,- which seems to de-
mand explanation. • While the Btitish population are, one
and all, in a state or the utmost tranquillit s, arid confidence,
this sudden hustle and confusion of .French ilenartnre liespeaks
on their Ira rf a remarkable timillitx or it indicates a know-

duces ihcm to seiiarate themselves .frion their British fellow-
colonists, a nil i.etbe from what they suppose to lie the field of

their own character, and we look, fur it irecordingly.
