as Trinity to possess themselves Of and oc-
cupy that place until the arrival of the
main force. From this place they will pro-

the most sanguine hopes are entertained of
complete success.
General Ryan's force in the vicinity of
Mexico amounts to between Is and 10000
men-and 1t is supposed an attempt, il not

last remaining prop Of decayed monarchy

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!
A correspondent assures me, that more
than 500 Wagons loaded with b, itish mer-

such a Constant passage of Wagons loaded
with ErEfsh goods. A train of nearly one
mile :nlength $50 say several persons of We
racity who saw them) passed last week
These goods are SAID to belong to citizehs
of the United States, who have permission,
till a Certain period, to carry their property
out of Canada. What rich men these A

Gus men know how to cheat the. law aud
congress in the bargain. What will become
of American m anufactures. if this rapid in
f1ux of British goods be suffered to continue |!

here, completely equipped. and furnished,
as we understand, with 1000 cartridges, and
every article which the laws allow, were
sent from this place by Major Dix, on
Thursday last with orders to join the 18th

From the appearance of the officers & men,
we presume they will do their duly.-Baz.
