In addition to the above, the messen.
ger informs me that, although no lives
were lost, as is yet known, the mate of
the Sir Robert Peel was badly burnt
on board the vessel.
Our steamer Oneida, on her way to
Ogdensburg, this morning, volunteered
and took the crew on board, and carfi
ed them TO Kingston.
The whole community here is excl
ted and alarmed to the greatest extent,
at this unwarrantable outrage, and a
retallatory spirit, that has only slept
upon the other side, will, it is feared,
be again excited, and to an extent be-
You'd control.
The steamer Sir Robert Peel, it is
said, was taking in wood at Mulet
Creek bay, or at the Nairows below,
about seven miles from the creek.
| deem it due to the Executive that
he should be Immediately apprised of
this affair; the more especially as we
are lett here without any regular Off.

Sackett's tlarbor, and who had been

Capt. Armstrong had command of the
Sir Robert Peel, against whom, il is
said, the refugees had an old grudge.
