Gen Powers, with the 9th regiment
about e.gat hundred, has left Montreal for
Halifax. These, it is believed, ara the
only troops which nave left the province
COR Halifax. And their place is supplied
by more than one thousand troops which
have arrived in Canada, during the last
two months,
Il is reported that the British are con-
tracing for several thousand sleighs, and
for ten thousand Buffalo skins; and that a
winter campaign is the order Of the day in
Canada
Ii is very possible that Sir George will
attempt to remove the British boundary to
Grown Point, while the Lakes is covered
with ice Every exertion ought to be made
to prevent such a disaster The enemy
having the command of Lake Ontario, will
doubtless direct all his energies to this
quarter, in order to gain like ascendancy
on this Lake, unless the idea of carrying
the war into the q. States has been aband
oned The enemy cannot get the immedi
ate command Of this Lake by building
hence the probability of something being
attempted this winter.
