Dispatches from Canada.

We learn. by a letter from Plattsburgh, dated
on the Cd inst. that on that day British officer
arrived with fsg Of truce from Canada, and
delivered to Gen. lizard = packet Of dispatches
from Sir George Provost, directed to the Sec'ry

they might be forwarded as soon as possible In
consequence ofthis request, Gen. lizard had en-
srussed the dispatches 10 Col Smelling, who
Immediately Sat off for The sea, of Government ;
where he probably arrived on the 8 h inst. The

The cartel ship Fair American has

dates 10 the LIST Of April. Her Letter
bag has not yet Coz me up, but We learr
from a gentleman passenger in her,
who got on beard of fishing smack
yesterday afternoon, and reached town
this morning, that the London papers
contain official dispatches from Sir c
Stewart dated at Paris, informing Of
the capituIation Of that city to the al
lied troops. and that it was entered
peaceably by them, 10000 strong, on
the 3oth OF March, with the Empcr or
of Russia and the King of Prussia II
their head. There had been severe
fighting with Bonaparte'sarmy just pre-.
ccding the entrance of the allies into Pa.

against him. He had been cut up in e.
very battle, and, his army reduced

the Empress and her Senate had alb.

raj opinion in England, among the bsst
informed, was that there would be a
peace between this country and Great
Britain in the course of the ensuing

British not having appointed ministers
TO meet ours, is because Lsrd Castle.
