FROM THE FRONTIER

| would seem from the accounts that the wa
on the Michigan Frontier is.really at an end. Tho
latest news from Detroit is to the l4th and j.
contained IN the Buffalo Advertiser of the 23d
That paper says
We now have information on which we car
rely, rs to the actual state Of the 'wnr," whicF
has been transferred from this VICINITY to tina
neighborhood. There is no patriot force what
ever in aims, either in the provinces, or on thi'
side-unless it he some struggling Navy islanders
along the lake shore, in this State.
The force assembled at Bots Blanc Island, UNI
der "Gen" Sutherland, was dispersed by Gov
Mason, who went in the steamboat Erie, win n
bout IL 0 citizens volunteers, for that purpose
The number on the Isand--which never eXcee
ded 350-were only some quo poor miserable
fellows, not more than TEN ofthem Canadians, q
they were all landed by the Governor at Gibral
tar, on the American side, nearly opposite Nal
den, where they dispersed. The arms, &c
which had been stolen from the u. S. Arsenal
were duly taken charge FLY Gov. M.
The general impression ut Detroit was, thai
no further attempt ut u patriot invasion of Can,
ada would be made-or, if at all, not near thai
place. The authorities are too "neddlesome,'
to allow it. AS an instance of the determination
envinecd by them, our informant states, that the
guards actually fired at mob who wero taking
lorcible possession of the steamboat Gen. Brady
wounded one of them, and compelling them &c
reliuquish their lawless enterprise.
Tie persons taken in the schr Ann, captures;
by the British, said by the Detroit Post to have
been ''a mastered" appear to have been march
ed through the country to London, for safe keep
ing which would show, pretty conclusively, that
the "London District" so much talked of as the
theatre of excitement and discomfort was at least
quiet.
Duncombe seems quite intan gble. His where
about cannot he learned with any sort of GER
tanty: He is not however, in arms, Little is
said about him at Detroit.
Some twenty warrants has been issued, fol
sundry citizens of Detroit who have been most
active in promoting the Disturbances. Suther-
land who was arrested, was subsequently dischur'
ged no proof being made of overt acts committed
on the U. S. soil
The Albany Advertiser of the 9th, has the fol
lowing "A slip from the office ofthe Fredonio
Censor, ofthe 22d inst. ys-"Col. Worth has
just arrived in this village, having just come up
to Dunkirk in the steamboat Robert Fulton. lie
has with him two companies of regulars and one
company of militia. He made forced march
from Dunkirk here, and took possession of what
arms were deposited here last week, amounting
to three or tour loads. A few were SCI: off be-
fore the forces arrived, having got wind of their
approach. There are some two hundred patriots
in this town, bivouached in different places"
MONTREAL, Jan. 81. The rumors from the
frontier are very contradictory. 1t has been We
ry'generay reported TINT large number of Can
adams under DR. Cote and of American 81 under
somebody else, were to make n decent on Cd
cliown, and plumber the inhabitants on the 25th
inst. but that it has been postponed till this day.
An OK press arrived in town day or two ago for
troops 70 protect the loyal inhabitants from such
an attack, and it was said that upwards at hun.
dred trains had gone across the line to bring these
land pirates at n short notice to the contemplated
scene of plumber. The Canadians in town cv-
identity anticipate some danger by remaining, as
immense numbers otthem have left for the, south,
trains loaded with good furniture amounting
to several hundreds, have accompanied them.
Neither heir realobiect destination are known.
We understand that ii is in contemplation to raise
either one two additional companies OF Cav
airy, aud we hope that they will be organized
with that unanimity of feeling between officesr
and men which ought to exist in volunteer COM
panies, but which we are sorry to learn does not
in ali those at present organized. A company or
of f1yng artillery is talked of as about being en-
bodied. 4 detachment of the Cavalry is to pro-
coed Immediately the frontier to act as q corps
of observation.-Heydld
We understand that this Province is soon to be
rid oflhe presence of the Right Honorable Arch
ibald Earl Of Gosfortl, as MIR. Hough the stage
proprietor at Quebec is to make arrangements
with him Tomorrow by the Kennebec road. We
thought he would not visit Montreal. DIR. Bar
Der has arrived in town from Quebec, which
looks significant. We trust the eyes of Her Maj
esty's ministers will be opened when they learn
how differently the intelligence of the removal of
Lord Goslord and Sir Francis has been received.
The duplicty of the former has gained for him
unmitigated contempt, while the manly honesty
of the latter has secured for him universal esteem.

The following remarks are from the Quebec
Gazette, touching our relations toward the Brit
ish government.
QUEBEC, Jan. 19.-The Message of the Pres
ident of the United States to Congress, OIL the
seizure and destruction of the steamer Caroline,
nj Fort Schlosser, on the American side of the
river att Niagara, by British forces, will be found
in this days. Gazette
There is nothing Objectionable in the manner
IN which that event is spoken of IN the Message.
Inc sentiments expressed by the leading mem
hers of Congress, the Presidents instructions to
Gen. Scott, the presence of that gentleman on the
frontier, and of the Governor of the State ofNew
York. we hope will tend to prevent passion and
