BUFFALoE.- June 90.
An opinion having gone abroad. TIA, IN.
American army in this negaborho. was a.
bout to make descent en- Canada. aod a.
reports of this nature are injurious =, the
service and the Country. We think il our dm-
ty to relieve the public anxiety by one or
two remarks on this subject. 1t can nr,.r
De the duty OF the editor of public journal
to notice military movements !; but it would
always have salutary effect to check the
progress OF mischievous rumors. Not IN
mention the absence OF some corps which
are to form part of the left division of the
northern army, We think the situa,ion of the
quarter master generals department would
contradict the report of any immediate
movement in contemplation indeed. If we
are correctly inf5rmed, there is deficiency
In that department of the means of trans
porting troops across the water |: and in ad
ditlon to this. it has been limited to US. that
preparations are making by the PRINCIPAL of.
hcers of the arm to celebrate the approach.
ing anniversary of American Independence.
Ill the village -! Buffalo.
In making the aoove remarks, we disclaim
any intention OF censuring the commanding
oihcers os this frontier, or the officer who
fills me quarter masters department. -
They will inquest onably execute their or.
ders-they have the confidence of ,the ar.
my. and very generally that OF shs citizsns.
The British fleet, Consisting Of six sail. an,
peared off Oak Orchard, on Fuesday last

We do not learn that com. Channcey has

must be out ere TINS.
During the sitting of tn. court Of comr
