ST. ALDANs, Tuesday, Nov 2s.
Passengers in The stage who left Monieal
last evening, and arrived at Hichcate tbi,
evening, report that the patriots are gaining
at 81. Charles.
Frequent skirmishes have taken place. III,
result generally favorable 10 the patriots.
Yesterday and oday firing was heard in
the vicinity Of ST.. Charles.
They contradict the rumor so current for The
last twenty four hours, that the royalists had
taken 81. Charles, routed the patriots, killed
800 and taken Gen. Brown prisoner.
The greatest excitement prevails in the
community. Amidst the multitude of fumors.
il is almost impossible to ascertain the exact
truth. A day or two will probably furnish
something decisive.

INK TIN ough or near that place, and stop and
examine all suspicious persons. They are, in
my opinion, taking very foolish course, for
the government is in no condition TO send troops
there 10 assist them; and should the radicals
obtain possession Of 81. Johns, which have
no doubt they will do in a few weeks, they will
then be in hot water. Aud indeed | believe
that the Radicals now on this eide OF the line
will make dash upon them when they leave
here.
Sir John Colburp, the commander .in-chicf
Of Canada, has issued proclamation, Offering

Of years, or during the war.
The radicals are concentrating their forces
at ST. Charles and ST. Zezerves, and have com.
menced iortiiying the first mentioned place.

Decisive Battle-Attack on st.

An intelligent gentleman who left Swanion

morning, brings us information Of decisive
engagement between he patriots and IoyaIisis
On Saturday night. Our in!srmant, AIR San

particular account Of tbs engagement Mr..
SanbOrn says he saw the letter, heard it read,
AID was present al the examination Of the
messenger who bronghtit. There can be no
mistake. The following letter from our obli-
ging correspondent, MIR. Whitemore, at ST.
Adams, cmbodies the facts substantially as we
gather them from our informant. We there
fore adopt it for the present occasion.
DEAR SER-The glorious news has just ar
rived here which msy be implicitly credited,
that al | ; o'clock on the evening of the 25th
inst, the regular and volunteer British forces
1900 strong made an unexpected assault upon
the fo:t at ST. Charles about Sc miles from
Montreal Tho assault was urged and ress.
termined resolution OIL both sides until near
morning, when The British were suddenly at.
tackled in the rear by about 1900 patriots from
81, Matthias, IA miles distant, who, herring
the chnonaang, reached 10 the rescue, and
came up jus, in time 10 saye ,he fort which
was about being captured. The royalists i'm.
with the patriots at their heels, and i'll proba-
bly, nearly all be killed or taken prisoners, as
the patriots under the orders Of Gen Brown had
previously cut off all means Of retreat or os-
cape, by destroying the boats in the river Rich
eliou, and statoning forces in the only places
where they might retreat When the express
left ST. Charles al 7, A. NJ. on the Goth, the
patriots were in hot pursuit.
The patriots lost in the assault on the fort
about 200 meu in killed and wounded The
loss Of HE assailants not known.-Thcy LEFT
behind them two pieces OF cannon, but did not
burn the village of ST. Charles: There is no
doubt of the result the British forces, this

UPPER CANADA.

We have little but rumors, to which, how
ever, VIC are disposed to give some crcdence,
Flom our knowledge OF the state of feeling in
the upper province, we upprehcnd the radicals
are well prepared Tor u warm contest. A late
Buffalo pal per mentions that many of the in
fuentinl men Of the province have moved their
families into the United States and returned to
carry on The war. Il would be sin ,ular. to
say the least, if the patriots should let this op.
portunity pass. The Governor, hoastino Of
his reliance on the loyalty Of the militia ortbe
upper province, sent nearly or quite all the
regular troop. to Lord Gosford in the lower
province We guess large portion Of The
militia Will be found somewhat differing from
the Governor in the sentiment of loyalty.
