At the commencement OF the action of the

shot from the enemy yet his zeal and exer-
tons we're given with lis characteristic sDi-

handsomely of the Conduct and services Of

their charge, and at the moment thew broke,
captain Rltcile's company of artillery, and
one piece "a ~ poundcr) Of captain Biddic'S

REPORTED ARMISTICE.

REPORTED ARNtISTICE.
Quebec and Montreal papers OF the 18th
INST are silent as to the arrival of any mes
senger from England via Halifax or other
ways. and as 20 any expectation of an arInis-
tice but on the contrary are as warm in Ian
guage as ever. A fiigate arrived direct
from England in S. days passage. This YES
sci, we should imagine, could have convent
,y brought dispatches to Gov. Provost res
pectng the truce, ii it had been agreed on.
And person would, at this season of the
year, be likely to reach Quebec sooner di-
rect from England than via Halifax.
The Halifax messenger, notwithstanding
what he related of himself, was probably en-
ployed on some other business than that of
bearing the olive branch.
1t does not, however, appear that there
was any late news in Canada from Halifax,
for the arrival of the additional troops is not
mentioned.
On the 18th inst. signals were up at Que
bee for 6 square rugged vessels.
Reports from Montreal are as late as Sa-
turday, the 10th inst. but no mention is made
of the pacific messenger or OF any suspension
Of arms.
Nothing new had occurred recently on the
Champlain frontier.
We understand q gentleman was in town
Yesterday who had seen Halifax papers to
the 9th instant, but they contain no news of an
arnistice. Letters to the 9TH inst. are also
silent as to any such event
Since preparing the article under the head
% Reported Armistice," we have been infor-
med, that the press of the paper ut Montreal
was stopped on Saturday last, at noon, for the
purpose of inserting some important news,
Just then received; but of the nature of the
intelligence nothing is known. A gentleman
from Vermont was told the above by a person
from Montreal.
We understand that $500 dollars in bank
bills, stolen from a gentleman III this town
four years since, were all discovered en- We'd
nesday last, concealed in the owners barn.
1000 dollars were fthc Philadelphia Branch
of the u. 6. Bank.
A black man, servant to the gentleman,
was convicted of the theft, and confined two
years in the State Prison, but would never
discover what he had done with the money
The Deinitive Treaty of Peace between
France and England was signed at Paris on
the 3Oth of May last. This Treaty undoubt-
edly determines which of the French colonies
shall be restored. A copy may be expected
by the next arrival.
The Bulwarl II, joined the Nymphe, in
Boston Bay, on Wednesday last, direct from
Halifax. We understand that gentleman
was landed from the former, same day, at
Salem
On Wednesday evening, the two ships
were about two miles s. K. from EaSton Point
and yesterday morning the Nymphe only
was in sight from Cape Ann.
We yesterday received, via Portland, Ha-
lifax papers to the 29th ult but their con-
tents are unimportant.
