lows posted in the entertainments that he
was going to bring up a reinforcement he
pretended to have got at a little distance,
but was not seen or heard of afterwards.
The report Of his previous misconduct APP
pears to be confirmed. Among the pris.
oners three are Of some noe-Duvort, the
notary, Dvrohher, merchant, with some
property, and Lemalre, his clerk, all OF
st. Charles. The soldiers wounded in the
action were left at St. filaire, with guard
in charge of DR.. Sewall.
We are informed that two 81 Founders
had been mounted within the entrench-
ment, on the south side, where the attack
was made. They were spiked, and com
mitted to the safe keeping Of the river
Richelieu. A hundred stand Of arms or
more, were also taken and destroyed. The
fort was well provsioned. The oral re-
port first brought of the quarter in which
the attack was made, was incorrect. The
defenders of the fort, we understand, were
N 1900 in number, at Che first, and
A .G5t of them fought with a spirit worthy
Y better leaders and better cause The
survivors, we hope, have learnt lesson
which they will not require to have re-
peated.
MILITARY MovEMENTs.-T John Bull
and st. George Steamboats, came up yes
terday forenoon from Quebec, with about
5000 stand of arms and accoutrements
complete.
The Rayennes steamboat left yesterday
morning for Sorel, with two field pieces,
a good supply of Congreve rockets, and a
detachment of royal artillery, under the
command Of Capt. Howell.
The John Bull also left the same place
with the light company Of the cath, under
Capt. Maitland, three companies of the
32d under Capt Brown, one company Of
the SD under Capt. Ermsley, and a de-
tachment Of Montreal volunteer cavalry
under Cornet Sweeny-the whole force
being commanded by the Hon. Col Gore,
deputy quartermaster general.
The force already at Sorel consisted of
one company Of 1921 under Major Reed,
and two OF the Goth under Crocipon. With
the reinforcements just sent down, the
whole will form a pretty strong brigade.
Its precise destination is of course UNI
known. We are not Sanguine enough to
expect that any regular opposition will be
attempted, whatever it may be. The re-
bells will hardly be fools enough to act st.
Charles and Pt. Oliyeire over again, with
in the six counties.
The detachment of the Goth, which
shared in the expedition to St. Charles, re-
mains as before in garrison at Chambly.
The two companies the SD, under Capt.
Birtwhistle, which joined the Colonel on
Tuesday, returned with them.
A detachment of the Gath regiment, I'm
der Lieut.. Young, arrived yesterday from
Kingston.
From the Kingston u. c. Gazette.
The aspect Of affairs in Lower CanaGa
begin to be more serious than we expect
ed, and we ground our opinion from the
that on Tuesday to order
below less than fifty men that remained in
this garrison Of the Gath regiment, and
they embarked the next morning. The
must have serious alarms to
order all these troops out of this province,
except few scattered men.

RETURN OF Cor. WETHERALL-The re-
turn Of Col Wetheral and his gallant
troops from Chambly yesterday, was an
interesting sight 10 the hundreds who
crowded the wharf to witness it. The
cavalry landed first, two Of them carrying
the liberty pole and cap, erected at St.

in addition to their proper armament. AZ
ter them rode the commanding officer, fol-
lowed by the band of Royals and the in
lantry--the first company OF whom escort

From the information we have been
able to collect from those who accompanied

last, that report prevailed there that Sam
Jones and Powell who,it is said, are now at
the head of the Micasukies held council
recently near lake Monroe and condemned
Micanopy to death, for having signed the
treaty with Gen. Jesup.
Mcanopy was, pursuant to the sentence
hewed to pieces by the savages.
The sub.chicfs Cloud, Alligator, Tigertail
and Wild Cat, had NIL been deprived Of their
rank for signing the treaty, and reduced to
common warriors.

Sale Of the School Lands.-JoHN ID. PIERCE,
Esq. Superintendent Of Public Instruction for
the State of Michigan, was here day or two
since on his tour through the western counties,
selling the School and University lands He has
politely furnished US with a statement of the
number Of acres sold, and the average pric, per
acre for which they were Sold When here, he
was on his way TO Berrien county, where he has
sale in few days; from there he goes TO Cass
CO.; and his sale in this county will be at Gen.
trcville on the Cd day of August next. He has
sold in but two counties as yet-Calhoun and
Kalamazoo. In the former county he sold 5000
acres Of School lands at an average price of $ll,
&c per acre--Univcrsity lands, about 1000 acres
ut an average price of about $4,000 per acre !;
whole amount of sales in that county of school
and University lands, about $4,000. In Kala-
mazoo county 4450 acres of school lands, at an
average price of $1,000 per acre; University
lands, 36l6 acres at an average price of about
$2l, so per acre. One school section in Kala-
mazoo county sold for rising $3l 900.
This is something we were not prepared to cx-
pcct. In such hard times as these, to sell lands
at such prices could hardly be believed at the
cast
The school fund for Michigan will be immense.
Our State is decidedly in a better condition with
regard to schools than any Of the other new
States. Mr.. Pierce feels considerably clated by
his success.-Hardly any one supposed tn, lands
would bring the established price, eight dollars
for school lands and twenty for University lands.
In Kalamazoo the average price for which the
school lands sold was just double the established
| price.

| Who is to blame Hero is a loss, entire
loss to one company, Of 100000. This is only
one instance out Of more than ten thousand !;
and who is to blame7 Is Gen. jackson or Mar
tin Van Buren, to blame for this company's losing
sixty thousand dollars, or was it caused by some
measure of the general administration combined2
There would be just as much consistency in
| charging the present administration with bsing
the cause Of this loss to that company as there is
in charging the cause of the present commercial
revusion, and pressure in the money market to
that party. This is a case that will answer to
compare with some of the speculations in wild
lands at the west, although not quite extensive.
Thousands of acres Of lands have been bought
here in Michigan, by men from the oast,-thc
lands are continually running them in debt. The
taxable valuation for all wild lands has been fix
ed by our Legislature at $500 per acre-a groa.
portion of it has been bought on borrowed capt.
tai. But to the point-the following article we
copy from Bonnett's paper, the New-York Her.
| add
About year ago company purchased
of Mr.. A. Schemmerhorn, farm belonging
to him, situated in Gowannus Bay, below
Brooklyn, for 100000, of which $4,000
were paid in cash, and bond and mortgage
given for the balance at per cent. As
soon as completed the company laid out
the farm in streets, lanes, squares, docks,
slips, and 'every thing as Master Dogber-
ny says handsome about them Gowan.
nus bay was to be made great port--a
town was to be erected--ships built--a char.
ter got-mayor and aldermen elccted-and
again, as Dogberry says, every thing com.
Portable about them"
But the rcvusion came. Land, lots, towns,
swamps--not only were not saleable, but
they were worth nothing beyond the crop
ofcabbages you could raise on them. Things
became so bad that the company called
meeting--"what shall we do we have $780,
900 to pay--how can we raise it 7" After
sleeping day and half on the business
reading the Wall street reports of the Her.
aid, to hear if that wizard held forth pros.
pect of better times, they shook their heads
and came to this resolution "let us give
the purchase back entire into Mr.. SIS. hands
we will lose the first instalment of $4,000
but we may save the latter, also of $780,
900.
This proposition was accordingly made
TO the proprietor. He shook his head-I'll
stick to the bargain They stared, con.
suited the horoscope again, and then lifting
up their eyes, weeping, said-"we'Il give
you $4,000 and all the land, if you will
take it back and cancel the bond and mort.
gage"
This is now the condition of the ncgoci-
alton. We don't know what advice TO give
in tho matter. But at tho worst if they
were to give the original proprietor $685..
900, and then get back the bond and mort
gage, they would absolutely make $4,000
by the operation. The farm is worth 49,.

the company's improvements, as they pre-.
