FROM THE NORTH.

The Toronto Patriot Of June 22d con-
tains the following paragraph. from which
it willhe seen that neither Detroit, Buffalo,
nor Rochester, nor Oswego, has as yet been
burnt? correspondent of the same
paper cautions his brother Tories against
the supposition, which appears 10 be gen.
eral among them, that {" the defeat and
choslisement Of the United States could be
done at once without loss, and with but
few regular troops" On the contrary, he
thinks it would cost considerable sacrifice
of life and property. But of the total ruin
of the country i. e. of the United States in
case of war, "if not the utter annhilation
of their Government" he entertans no
doubt.

BomJardment lfYeraCrVz.-The latest
accounts from the Mexican coast intimate
the probability of hnmbardment of Vera
Graz by the French Squadron. II was
stated the vessels now stationed at different
ports would concentrate at that point, and
turn the blockade into an active and vigor-
ous siege. Santa Anna, they say, is put
at the head of the garrison, and is making
great preparations to resist the threatened
assault. The approach Of the sickly season
has doubtless admonished. the French COM
mander Of the necessity Of bringing the
quarrel to a speedy examinations; as the
Mexicans will soon have powerful ally
in the yellow fever and other tropical dis
eases, that may prove more formidable to
French gallanry than all the implements of
destruction which Santa Anna and his myr-
midons can muster to oppnse them.
