AT the moment ready for the press, we have
been favored with letter from Col Worth giving a
full account Of his operations, and Of the proceed
ngs on the Canada side. Having received it at a late
hour, we can only give some extracts
Col. Worth says that the American citizens along the
frontier are beginning TO exhibit strong feeling Of
greet for the misconduct Of which their portion Of the
country has been the scene, and very many Of them
deny all knowledge or participation.
Much fear is entertained Of retaliation from the other
side, but Col w is confident that nothing Of the kind
will be done if the British authorities prevent it
His intercourse with them has been marked by great
courtesy and good feeling.
Extensive arrests were in progress Col. Worth e1-
pected that he should be able off the l7th for
visit to the intermediate between Ogdensburg
and Sackett's Harbor, leaving Col Clarke with
company cruze in the neighborhood Of the former for
few days. .
The fever in that region, he says, is radically
cured, for the present, at all events.
During the engagement Of the 10Th he had his vessel
stationed between the combatants and the American
Shore prevent any efforts that might be made to send
assistance TO the Invaders, the other hand II
they took the water and pursued to prevent the
pursuers from infringing neutrality.
II was painful situation in which he placed, to
his countrymen guilty they were, selling their
lives dearly, but his duty plain, and he would not
shrink from 1t.
The whole number that crossed over was about $50.
Besides Johnson and Birge, about dozen others
were arrested the 18th, all principals IN getting up
the invasion.

UThe Bay State has taken one step-an impor-

fective. 1t does not include Wine--a beverage that
