THE CANADAS.
From the Albany Argus.
NIAGARA FALLS, Dec. %.

Dear Sir Il suppose any news from this quarter
will be quite acceptable Yesterday the British forces
attempted to erect batteries opposite the island but
few cannon shot from the island dispersed them At
about o'clock in the afternoon, three armed boats put
on, from the point opposite the island, some cannon
were discharged upon them, and they retired. Two
persons il is reported, killed the Canada side.
The British forces still concentrating in this quarter
Some are militia clothed in red coats, aud some are
Indians The actual force Of Indians may be $50.
They say 700 The other forces may be 1000, but
called from 5000 to 5000.
The inhabitants Of this place have made request on
the Marshal for United States force to maintain our
neutrality. II is absolutely necessary, and hope the
application will receive his immediate attention.

!, The firing yertcrday was principally from Navy
Island and resulted so far learn IN little
except the death Of one horse 1t is understood that
the object of the Islanders to prevent the erection
of breastwok, and destroy building opposite the
island, in which company Of Black troops had been
ouarlered some DAYS past
II was reported and pretty generally believed ycster-
day that an attack be made upon the Island I'M
mediately from Chippewa, ty McNab and his rolnn-
teers who arrived there in sleghs the day before The
force now at Chippewa it is pretty generally conceded
over two thousand men, and il Is said from one to
two hundred Indians from G. river also there The
troops generally well armed with muskets. DOR IN
formant who passed through Chippewa yesterday says
he saw three pieces Of cannon at Landys Lane, and SIX
pieces at Chippewa Boats have been brought rom
Niagara and along the river and concentrated N consi-
derahe numbers at and near the same point.
Notwithstanding these preparations, our own opinion
is that there will be serious attempt TO attack the
Island by landing force npon II. lherc arc many
reasons why such attempt would be The height oil
presumption. Among which are the peculiar location
OF the Isaud just above the great rapids OF the ias the
strong current OF which would prevent an approach cx-
cept from aboycthe natural difficulties OF precpiious
or marshy shore rendered difficult by trees clicd
with their tops projecting in the rver-the high and
commanding position Of the upper end OF the Island,
and the very respectable armament OF both heavy aud
light artillery with which they provided, together
with the projection afforded by heavy growth oil TIM
Der upon the Island all conspe TO render Il very de-
ensibo position. On the other hand, SO lar as we
learn, the islanders have no intention at present OF at
tempting landing upon the Canadian shore They
have moi boats sufficient for such project even # they
desired it We doubt their intention OF making such
descent unless there should be demonstrations
on the par. Of their friends in Canada The cause nse
would lose good deal Of its popularity if II is 10 DC
carried on entirely from this side.
