Letters from Buffalo state that the Pro

is now IN session, and of which Gen. Drum
mond Is President, have enacted laws at1
thorislng the seizure OF all the American
property which has been or may be CARR
ed into that Province, which is to remain
IN state OF sequestration until the will Of
the BltishCaoinet is known. Some of the
Blush civil officers have said BY way of
exPla cation OF the proceeding, that no trsa
W 0t commerce exists between the two
countries, and that they shall admit the
entrance of American mercants and their
goods or not, as they please. That there
has been some seizures of Americas pro.
Perty carried into Canada since the peace,
we do not doubt but that those seizures
were II pursuance of any laws of the Pro
vince we do doubt much, and cannot but
consider them as abuses emanating from
exaspera:ed feelings Of individuals occasi-
