WAR ON THE FRONTIER OF MISSOURI

WAR ON THE RONTIER OF MISSOURI.
We learn from a gentleman direct
from the upper Missouri counties. some
further particulars in relation to the APP
pretended difficulties with the Usage In
dams on our border. These Indians are
settled on tract Of land which adjoins
our western states. They are represen-
ted to be in very destitute and starving
condition, and on several occasions, have
killed the cows and hogs Of the settlers
to assuage their hunger. 1t is alleged
that they have crossed the line. From
these allegations, orders have been issu-
ed TO drive them from the state line, and
our informant says, that on Wednesday
last, the troops under the command Of
Mai Gen. Lucas and Br. Gen. Almond,
from Jackson and Saline counties, were
to set out for the section where the lndi-
ans were encamped. II was the pur-
pose Of Gen. Lucas 10 induce the lndi-
ans to remove peaceably ifhe could, but

Messrs. Chasseur. Legare, Lachance

per, Messrs. Rouchette and Hunter, had
not been arrested, as was reported here
on Monday.
The charge against the parties arres
ted is for unlawfully and seditiously con-
irving, &c. to disturb the Queens peace,
bring her government and persons into
contempt, and ALLEVIATE the affections oi
her subjects. Mr.. Legare was Justice

The VICE PREsIDENT.-Col. Rich
ard M. johnson, Vice President of the
United States, has been making a short
visit among US, and the opportunity has
been seized upon by his friends to pay
him suitable honors. On Saturday he
was toated about the streets, preceded
by small company of infantry and a
few horsemen, and followed by his
friends in two carriages. The Vice
President rode with several other gen.
tlernen in barouche, and as the occa-
sion required it, carried his hat in his
hand, and dropped many bows, although
there was nobody on the walks to bow
to, except that most passengers stopped
for an instant at the sound of the drum
and fife, to enquire what the little pa
rade was for. Not the slightest re-
spect that we heard Of, was paid to the
occasion by the friends Of his immortal
Sunday Mail Report, or the Locos Of
any grade, except the few who formed
the procession. On Monday morning,
in the grey twilight Of six o'clock, he
was escorted to his lodgings to the Phi
ladelphia boat, by two freemasons on
foot, and a military array Of six cavalry
and twenty infantry, with the music Of
fife and drum. A few citizens acting
as artillerymen had previously placed a
couple Of cannon on the Battery, with
which. when the boat started, they fred
him off. The troops then marched up
Broadway, the drum and fife playing the
old air, " to the girl | left behind me-"

CANADA.-The strong measures ia.
king by the loyalists, and the concentra.
ton of troops in the Lower province, in.
dicate clearly that Papineau and his par.
ty is by no means a trifing matter.
The first blood las been shed, and Cana
dian intelligence is looked for with much
interest by the people Of the U. States.
The latest we have is given below from
the New York Express Of Friday.
"a gentleman direct from Montreal
says that the last persons arrested have
given important information; so i'm
portant indeed, that sir John Colborne
is of the opinion that no more blood
will be shed. Knowing, as he believes
he does all the ringleaders, measures
will be pursued which he thinks will
put stop to further agitation.
The Courier of Monday says, that the
work ofroyal organization gees bravely
on, in all parts Of the city. From the
highly satisfactory replies Of the Govern
or, and Commander-in Chief, 10 the re-
quest Of a general military organization
Of all the loyal citizens, for the defence
of their city in :he case of an emergen-
cy, it may be cofidently expected that
Montreal will be very shortly in a con-
dition to spare almost every man of the
regular troops now in garrison there
should they be wanted for the defence Of
the more scattered loyalists through the
country. The Montreal Courier, we be.
lieve, as we'll as the Montreal Herald,
have hitherto looked on the Reformers,
or Rebels" if the " Imperial party
like the name better, as puny race Of
men too few in numbers to do aught
against the Government,and too ignorant
and too imbecile to have any influence
over the multitude. Their predictions
thus far have all been falsifed and we
cannot believe the Canadas to be safe
before they are just. Arrest can no
more quell the storm that RACES in Can
ada, than can man arrest the wind or the
waves. When Canada is just TO her.
self and impartial to her citizens, she
will be in peace at home and respected
abroad. Not till then.
The Halifax Journal Of the 9th inst,
received yesterday morning, states that
orders have been issued by sir Colin
Campbell for the AID regiment, stationed
at New Brunswick, to proceed by land
to Canada. The s5th regiment, in gar
rison at Halifax, is ordered to replace
the Sd in New Brunswick.
