aThat a steamboat had arrived at
Fort George, with despatch from
Governor Head, for the soldiers at
that fort to proceed forthwith to To-
ron.o, for the defence of the town
that it was last night invaded by an
army Of three thousand patriots, who
had three times demanded the surren-
der OF the town-and that in all pro-
liability, the Patriots took possession
Of the city last night-the government
troops having all, or nearly all, been
sent to Lower Canada"
The conduct of the Wings is well hit off in
the following article from the Cincinnati Ga
zette, Wing paper.
THE PREsIDENcY-NEw YORK.
Have the Wings Of New York City
and Whereabouts given themselves up
to Bacchanalian carousals? We are
told that, at the Bell dinner, Mr.. Web
ster commenced speech at three
O'Clock in the morning, and spoke until
after four. These are bad hours! bad
examples, and censurable. The tick
cts to the Bell dinner were ten dollars
each! Does not such price smack
very much ofmoney exclusiveness? Is
it in cxtravagant expenditure and mid
night revel, that the New York Wings
expect to give character to their suc-
cess, in the State election? We tell
them ye are all in the wrong, in falling
into such courses. Their election VIC
tory has not effected half as much good
for the course Of safe and sound prin-
ciples, as their conduct in consequence
Of it has done mischief to that cause.
They act as if drunken with success,
metaphorically and literally.
Attic general celebration, Nov. ED,
they demeaned themselves with but
little wisdom. In their regular toast,
they began with themselves, and toast
led State by State, not expecting Con-
necticut, to the Potomac. The four
great Western Wing States, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana, were
jumbled together in one toast. In res
pect to the Presidency, we had Mr..
WEBSTER, Mr.. WEBSTER, MR..
