in Upper Canada, at the latest dates.
Sir James Yeo has returned TO Kings
ton, frsm Niagara. The enemy had not
appeared on the Lake. The troops in
this Province are principally encamped
at Chambly, where the Commander Of
the Forces is in person.
MONTREAL, June %.
About $50 able bodied seamen arriv-
cd in the Steam Boat, ON Sunday even :
ing from Quebec, for the Lake service.
They formed part of the crew of H M
S Penelope. BY the same conveyance
came also dctachments of recruits, for
different regiments.
On Friday arrived here from the enc.
my's lines, several parties of our brave
fellows who had been made prisoners on
the frontiers Of Upper Canals also the
crews OF the fifteen boats, which had
been captured in August, 1912, on their
route to Kingston the conduct Of the
enemy to this last description sfperson',
by OBTAINING them SO long in captivity,
is disgracelul in the extreme but what
can be expected from people whose
feelings and sentiments are SO particu-
larly their own Weare happy to hear
that considerable number our coun.
trymen are also arrived in Upper Ca.
NADIA the delay which has attended the
completion of the exchange on the part
of the enemy fully exhibits that abomi
nahle low cunning and chichane which
have invariably marked the conduct Of
the American government in their rela.
lions with others, and which partakes
so much Of their individual character.
To be consistent with themselves we
are informed that our officers are only
on parole, while they receive their own
from US perfectly released.
TROOPS FROM FRANCE.
AN express arrived yesterday from
Quebec, announcing the arrival in the
ST.. Lawrence ofthe tleetf from Bordeaux,
and that some of the transports had
reached Quebec; this truly respectable
addition TO the British force in this coun-
try, denotes something of more than
defensive nature the heroes of the Pc.
ninsula who have SO nobly distinguish
ed themselves in the proud delivelance
of Europe, will we hope soon gather
lau; els Of American growth; and al,ho'
not under the direction OF the great man
who has so often conducted them 10 vic.
tory, yet we trust that the genius of We'll
lington will accompany them, s. that the
promptness, decision and energy which
characterized ,hcir illusIious leader In
the old world, will distinguish their a.
chievements in the theatre now opened
to their exploits in the pew.
The FIRST division of the goth regt.
arrived here this morning the remainder
arc expected this evening.
MONTREAL, Jsly 2.
By the papers from the States, it ap.
pears that the American public are not
al,os e,her insensible Of their situation
alarm appears to extend along the sea-
board, Maine to the Mississippi and
though nothing mas yet taken piace wor-
thy Of mention. their fears are not sup
posed to be without reason. The Spa.
niards on the South have assumed a
threatening aspect, and will soon be ablo
to retaliate with two fold vengeance
for their former wrongs; and even the
Creek Indians, who have SO often been
slain on paper, that one might reasona'
bly, suppose them externinatcd, are stat
ed again to be about raising the tema-
hawk. and becoming more and more
formidable.
No movement Of the fleets had taken
place on Lake Ontario at the recent
dates from Kington.
We are happy in stating that the gun
boat which has been taken from US on
Lake Ontario, had been recaPtured Il
that the report of our having lost one on
Like Champlain, is premature. The
former was sunk by the Americans
