 From the Niagara Frontier, it will be seen by our accounts in the preceding columns, all is apparently quiet againthe Patriots of Navy Island having aban doned that ground, given up the major part of their arms, and dispersed. It does not appear, however, but that there is still disposition the part of some of the troops to organize again, and proceed to the neghborhood of Fort Maiden, near the western extre- my of Lake Erie, where it is said a force of consde rabe magnitude is collecting. Letters from Detroit, and also the papers, represent that the people of that section of Michigan are in a state 1grea excitement on account of the movements there. A letter 10 the editor of the Baltimore Patriot gives these particulars DETROIT, Jan. z, is33.

 1 Nothing of the movement was known save thnt meetings had been held and resolutions passed but it was thought the matter would stop there. It has turned out differently, for, Thursday night all the arms m our City Arsenal were secretly taken away; on the same day four hundred stand openly seZ- ed at Monroe, and on the succeeding nights our jail 1 was robbed of all the arms and fixed ammunition ] which had been deposited there for safe-keepng. 1 The next morning vessel, with about 500 stand | and about 100 men, departed from our wharves for bols Blanc-a British Island distant l9 miles hence, and opposite Maiden, at the junction of the River De- trolt with Lake Erie. Attempts were also 10 have been made upon our city powder magazine at Dear- | born, which were frustrated by a guard being des- patched from the city in time.

 As Bois Blanc overlooks Maiden, and has upon it the remains of an old breast york; the Patriots design guard, to attack Maiden, proceed to Sandwich and 1 London, and effect junction with Mckenzie, at Hamilton, Upper Canada.
 All the operations have been conducted with eff cency and secrecy, and as there are many dsaffec- ed on the proposed route, there is feasibility in the plan. We think they will at least take Maiden if l they try
 From the number of men engaged, the amount of money expended, and the concert of action shown in this enterprise, we conclude that some able head is 1 work.
 Governor Mason issued his proclamation three or four days ago. but it was dsregurded. Yesterday the | J. S. District Attorney despatched steamboat with the Marshal and posse after the schooner, but they were defed and threatened with the contents of an eighteen pounder ifthey approached nearer than hail. | ing distance.
 Upon the return of the Marshal, requsition for | arms was made upon General Brady, U. s. A., which was granted.
