The city of Detroit has been in much excitement for
some days past, and give the particulars they
are Of interest in connection with the probable junction
of Van Rens laer and his Navy islanders with DIR.
Duncombe Bots Blanc. The following details shew
that the is brewing in different quarter and that
there will be plenty Of trouble and excitement during
the winter.
On Thursday night, the llth, all the State arms in
the Detroit arsenal were secretly taken away; on the
same day four hundred stand were openly seized at
Monroe, and on the succeeding night the Jail was
ROBBED of all the arms and fixed Ammunition which
had been deposited there for safe keeping. The next
morning vessel with about 500 stand, and about
100 men departed from the Detroit wharves for Bois
Blanca British island distan: nineteen miles hence,
and opposite Maiden, at the junction of the River De-
troit with Lake Erie. Attempts were also 10 have
been made upon the city powder magazine at Dear
born, which frustrated by guard being des.
patched from the city in time. Besides these daring
operations, supplies have been purchased and sent
down to Bots Blanc-subscripton papers circulated
and now containing 1000 names-commsslons from
Navy Island rendered and accep;ed-enrolmenis of
about seven hundred men made in the different coun-
ties on the river regular drills held and TO cap
the climax, - Sutherland, from New York,
rs hourly expected with a force from Cleveland to
arrive at Gibraltar, ten miles hence, the point
of rendezvous and 10 take command of all the forces.
As Bois Blanc overlooks Maiden, and has upon it the
remains of an old breastwork, the Patriots design
making it a depot and intend, after leaving thereon
guard, to attack Maiden, proceed 10 Sandwich and
London and effect junction with Mackenzie at Ham
ilton Upper Canada. All the operations have been
conducted with efficiency and secrecy, and as there
are many dsaected on the proposed route, there is
some feasibility in the plan. We think they will at
least take Maiden If they try. From the number Of
men engaged, the amount OF money expended, and
the of action shown in this enterprise,
clude that some able head isat work. Governor Ma
son issued his proclamation three four days ago.

The display of female beauty in the ladies' gallery
today was quite remarkable. The interest excited by
the personal contest between Wise and Gholson
brought many TO hear the result, but their love of
scoldng was not eratfed the bellserents seemed TO
be at peace though the House has left then to decide
their quarrel as they chose. Ghoson appears TO be
quite done up. His specimen Of blackguardsm has
disguised his associates legislation and the superior
attraction furnished by the member who has been
sent TO take his place. has thrown both him and his
antagonist into the shade He looks pale and CHASTITY,

both to mind and honesty. One day last winter

The crowd Of ladies' was so great yesterday to hear
Mr. Prentiss that the gentlemen forced TO retire
10 the mems gallery, and TO leave only few who
seemed fastened to the wall like parcel Of swallows
and who could not be prevailed upon TO quit the
parsdsei in which they were placed. The members
have wisely thought il expedien, to bring with them
fhis session their wives who frequent the galleries
whenever anything of interest Is expected. On this
occasion three fosrths Of those ! saw were married
ladies, and many Of them the wives Of honorables.

consed between two Of the best dressed Of the party
and rattlne away with ms customary volubility.-
The group near whom he sat consisting OF some ten
or twelve members wives, seemed to think the gallery
belonged 10 them, and had GENE provided with pro-
visions 10 las, them during long sitting. The centre
