Otlit NEUTRAL RELATIoNS W ITH GREAT BRITAIN.—"Every
American citizen must feel sickened and ashamed of his country.
unless the speediest and promptest measures are taken for the
suppression of our border outrages upon the domioion of a
mendly power. The news which we give our readers this
morning Is even more alarming to the lovers of the honour and
faith of their country, than any thing that has yet occurred.
The imeliigence from Detroit is almost enough to disgust an
American citizen with his country. What has become to our
coutitrymen that they should all at ()nee become so perfectly
infatuated ? Is there any adequate cause for such a sudden and
al:orlon,: violation of all national honour? Is there any thing
in a poor miser:tale Seuten vagabond, hi nself without either
talent, character, or cause to warrant it, that should lead a
whole people into an ins Inc contest for a people, nine-tenths of
when are living in etaire content wuh their own government?
Why, most ertaiuly not. It is the wildest and the wickedest
breach of national neutrality that ever occurred in a civilized
land.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. 12.—There
has been very little change in the piece marketito-day, and
prices remain the sane as last week. The wool market has
been extremely dull, and very few sales have been made,although
the last week's prices have been fully maintained.
In a coal•pit at Greengares, about five miles west from Sla-
mannan, a living toad was lately found emboddel in the solid
strata about six tat hums below tha surface, and between a level
bed of ironstone and &ilk. Its lodgment was in a soft wet mass,
att.l the animal was sent to Glasgow in a perfectly lively con-
dition.

Oil Wednesdev morning, as the Birmingham and Sheffield
mail was proceeding en i.s route from Burton to Derby, the

coach. Two gentlemen were hurt; but, we are happy to state,
not seriously.

STATE OF TEA DE.— ()Wing to the return of severe frost,
which has again closed the navigation that had been partially
opened by the thaw of last week, the demand for "'toils and
yarn of all descriptions was exceedingly limited yesterday; and
the little business done was, in some cases. at a slight decline
on last week's prices.—,{lane/rester Guardian,

It is very confidently stated, that communications have
passed between the government and Colonel Thompson relative
to some expressions made use of by that officer at a recent
meeting relative to Canadian affeirs at the Crown and Anchor

his observations hail only reference to absolute, not constitu-
tional monarchs.—Times.

"'There can be no doubt now of what we said yesterday
morning, that the Van Rensselaer vagabonds of Navy Island,
evacuated that felon establishment merely fur the purpose of
attarking Upper Canada from a more eligible point. It is as
curious asit is a mortifying fact that with the exception of the
poor creature Mlienzie, the oppression of which • patriotism'
is so fierce torrid itself in Limier Canada, is only felt by eitivas
of the United Stales who have nothing under heaven to do with
that colony. Donconabe is a native of New York, Van Ren-
sselaer is a- citzen of Albany, and Colonel Sutherland is a
printer from some where in Ouio. Pretty patriots these to put
a whole peodle in peril, and jeopard the peace of two great na-
tions ? Why in the name of all that is preptistsrous, was that
common disturber of tranquillity, Van Rensselaer permitted to
g►o at la►ge upon nominal trail—with the general understanding
that he was i.toned ately to load the felon forces into host►lities
against a friendly peAtle?"

Head-quarters. Chippewa, Dec. 30, 1837.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that in obedience to
your commands to burn, sink, or destroy the piratical steam
vessel which It•id been plying between Navy Island and the
American shore the whole of yesterday, I ordered a luck-out
to be kept upon her, and at about five p.m. of yesterday, *hen
the day had cksed in, Mr. Harris, of the Royal Navy, reported
the ve,s,l to the as having moved off Navy Island. I imme-
diately directed five boats to be armed and manned, with .45
volunteers, and at about 11 o'clock. p.m. we pushed off from file
shore for Navy Island, when not finding her There, as expected,
we went in search, and found her moored between the island
and the main shine.

I then assembied the boats off the point of the island, and
dropped quite down upon the steamer; we were nut discovered
unlit 'arcs of her, a hen the sentry upon the gangway
hailed us, and a. sked for the countersign. which I told him we
would give when we got on board; he then fired upon us,
when we immediately boarded, and found from 200 30 men
upon her decks, who were easily overcome, and in two minutes
she was in our possession. As the current was running strong,
and our position close to the Falls of Niagara, I deemed it must
prudent to burn the vessel, but previously to setting her on fire,
we to,.k the precaution to louse her from her mooring, and turn
her into the stream, to prevent the jorsaibility of the destruction
of anything like American property, In•short, all those on
board the steamer who din not resist were quietly put on shine,
as I thought it possible there might be some American citizens
on board. Those who assailed us were of course dealt with
accord ng to the usages of war.

I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of the officers and
men who accompanied me; their coolness and bravery show
what may be expected from them when their country requires
their services; where all behave so welt it would be invidious in
