having been arrested here on affidavils sent
from Buffalo, and held 10 bail in the sum
of $4,000 for his appearance at The U. S.

From the Buffalo Journal
We are informed from q respectable
source, that one of the gentlemen belonging
TO this city, who visited the camp of Col.
McNab at Chippewa, on the day previous
to the burning of the steamboat Caroline,
states that Col. Nc Nab on being informed
that the vessel was the private property Of n
citizen in Buffalo, took this person aside on
the following morning, and offered TO pay
the owner her full value, saying at the same
time, that he did not wish his officers or
men to be made acquainted with his offer.
From the Rochester Democrat,
REFUGEES Overwhelmed by the tyran-
ny ofthe Col. Government, the inhabitants
of the Upper Province are 1ocking TO this

Correspondence of the Albany Argus.
We perceive that arrests continue in Low
er Canada. The Montreal Herald the 9TH
inst states that Mr. A. Papineau, of ST Hy-
ac:nth, brother OF ,heiSpeaker OF the House
of Assembly, and Messers Proulx and He
bert, Members of the Provincial House Of
Assembly. residents of the district OF Three
Rivers, were brought TO Montreal on the 4th,
and lodged in Jail, under q charge OF high
treason. The two latter gentlemen are said
10 have taken no part IN the late disturban-
ces, nor in the excitement during the sum
mer, and are probably suspected, dragged
from iheii families aud incarceratcd in prs-
on, because they are known 10 have acted
with the ma lority OF the House and TO have
represented The wishes ofihe people.
The Hon. NJ Debartzch. whose barns

"Mcssrs Van Rensselaer, and Mackenzi,
were here last week. and there are variou:
conjcctures respecting their future move
