TWO DAYS LATER.

LOVER CANADA.-Our Int ligence from this
province corroboraes the reports previously re-
ceived, that the insurrrection is general. Nelson
was at Napierviile at the latest accounts, where
he had some 500 prisoners. There are large
risings in the rear of Montreal, at Sorel, Berthi-
err, Bel9il, Cambly, Beauharnois, Chateauguay,
and other places. In the Lower Province, the
British Troops have commenced the same course
that dIsgraced their nation last winter. The
village of ST. Pierre has been burned to the
ground by them, although they found none but
women and children there. The church, par
sonage house. &c. were destroyed. This it is
expected will lead to dreadful! acts of retalia-
ton.
A private letter from head quarters informs us
that the patriots have possession of the whole
county Of Facade and have been successful in
several skirmshes. Col Bryant with his force
was TO Join Nelson last night, when a movement
was to be made with the heavy guns to fAca-
die, village. A good many volunteers from
this side of the lines had gone in. They
report that they well paid, well fed, and
comfortably clothed. Two Proclamatons (the
same that were issued last winter) had been
profusely scattered throughout the Province.
A skirmish tookpl ace about 9 o'clock yester-
day morning, between detachment OF Patriots
who were stationed at about two miles from
Rouse's Point for the purpose of keeping the
communication open with The States, and
large body ofvolunteers and Regulars, in which
the Patriots were repulsed with the loss OF some
8 or 10 men.
The Steamboat Burlington and Winooski,
we learn, will run no further than Cha,nplain
for the present, it being deemed imprudent to
risk boats so valuable. The JMacdOnough IS to
ply between Champain and 81. Johns; The
Winooski was fired near Isle aux Noix on
Tuesday.
we learn that the Patriots took possession OF
the famous '.Stone Mills" at LaColle on Tues.
day. These Mills are the same which General
during the last war, and was repused with i'm.
