THE STEAMBOAT CARoLINE.-This ill-fated
vessel which has closed her interesting and
eventful career by a plunge into the foan,ing
abyss below the Falls of Niagara, was built
in Charleston, South Carolina, and ran for
season on the Savannah river. She was then
sent to the North, and after running for time
upon the waters Of the Delaware, came to
New York, and piled between that place and
Staten Island. She afterwards ascended the
Hudson river to Troy, and sailed as tender
to the large boats between that place and AL
bany. In a year or two, she was transferred
through the Erie and Oswego canals to Lake
Ontario, to be used as ferry boat between
0gdensburg and Prescott, aud afterwards
brought through the Weland Canal to Lake
Erie, to run as packet between Buffalo and
Chippewa. During the last season, she made
voyage to the Maumee river, and fer the
remainder of the summer and fall, piled be-
tween this place and Toledo. Late in the
fall she was seized for smuggling, taken to
Buffalo, and sold under the revenue laws.
The remainder Of her history, is, alas too
well known. The Caroline was built of live
oak, coppered and copper fastened, with low
pressure engine. She had changed owners
several times, and was for several years, held
and registered as British bottom.

CANADA MEETING.

Alta numerous meeting Of the citizens
of Maumee City, convened in pursuance
of a call for an expression Of the senti-
ments of the public in relation to the late
outrages in Canada, James Wilkison,
Esq. was called to the Chair, and Henry
Reed Jr. chosen Secretary.
The objects of the meeting having
been briefly stated by the Secretary, on
motion, committee of three, consisting
of. J. Bingham, II. L. Hosmer, and J.
Dwight, were chosen committee to re,
port resolutions expressive Of the sense
of the meeting.
The committee reported the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimous
y adopted.
Whereas, The late news from the sea,
of contest between the RoyaIists and
Patriots in Canada, is calculated TO alarm
and excite the peaceabIe citizens of the
United States as evincing an astonishing
degree of maevolence and ferocity on
the part of the minions Of power, against
those who are struggling for The bless
ings of civil liberty; and showing an
unparalleled outrage upon the rights of
neutral power. in the murder ofits cit
liens, the destruction of their property,
and the infraction of that barrier which
it is the object Of all good governments
to throw around their citizens there
fore,
ResolDed, That we, who have from
our youth been blessed with the enjoy
ment of Civil Liberty. in its amplest
form, do heartily sympathise with those
who are struggling, at the hazard Of
their lives and fortunes, for the same glo
rious boon--that we recognise in the
measures which the oppressed patriots
in Canada have taken TO shake off the
thraldom of irresponsible and tyrannic
power, a kindred spirit to that which led
to the freedom OF our own country in
'76, and that we look forward with the
most anxious hope to the time when their
trials shall end in the most triumphant
success.
Resolued, That we consider the con-
duct of the Tory Party towards the pa
triots IN Canada, as series OF oppress-
i've and Illegal wrongs, not warranted by
the Law of Nature, nor The spirit Of the
British Constitution, and amply justify
ing revolution and subversion of the
British rule in Canada.
ReSolued. That the late infraction Of
the sacred rights of neutrality, by an
incursion of band Of Brit
ish Tories, acting under the eye of an
officer of the British army. upon the ter
rltory Of the United States. neutral
at peace with Great Britain, ag-
by a cold blooded and coward.
" murder Of the citizens Of our country
and the destruction Of their property,
demands the most vigorous measures on
the part Of our Government, and the
mos: unqualified cxecration from every
citizen of the United States.
R,solued, That while we would dep
recate the fitting up Of armed expeditions
nthis country, for the assistance of the
patriots in Canada, as contrary to the
laws Of the United States, and against
the faith Of Treaties. we know Of no
law which can prevent any person who
is so disposed, from attaching himself to
that party and fighting under its ban
ners.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
