q CANADA AFFAIRS.

FROM THE FRoNr1ER.-We have
great mass OF rumors, letters, reports, &c.
&c. from Buffalo, Rochester, Detroit, and
the frontier generally; all various as 10
particulars, but agreeing generally in the
statement that movements are in progress
which are not what they should be-
NY. Spec.
From THE FRoNTIER.-The inform
alton we published Exclusively in a
possscrip: yesterday, is confirmed by a
letter TO The editor of the Argus, as 1oE
lows:-N.Y Spec.
Extract from letter, dated Watertown,
23d Feb" wrote you yesterday from
French Creek, saying the PARROTS were
on Hickory Island, and would make an
attack on Kingston this morning; but
owing to the small force, and some diff
Guilty with Van Rensselaer,, they returned
to the Creek, and disbG~ded as l learn
this morning. The number collected did
not exceed 200 or $50"
The following is from the Buffalo Star
extra, issued on Saturday evening, 6 Pm.
We do not believe it, because, in the first
place, these frontier rumors in the papers
that favor the cause of the outlaws have
so invariably proved fiction; and second
ly, because we know that Kingston is moi
taken, and have the authority OF the AL
bany Daily Advertiser, which ought tc
! know, for saying that Mr.. Van Rensse
laer, at the date Of the latest advices, was
not at Kingston, but at Syracuse. Find
ing "the gentleman's" story false in ons
Par''anlar. we have a right to presume
that it is false thoughout.-N.Y Spec.

of Kingston.
The REPORTED BATTLE AT MAIDEN
In addition to the evidence on which w,
yesterday expressed our unbelief in lh
story of fight at Maiden, in which SOM
25u British soldiers were said to hav
been killed, we have this morning seen
letter from an officer stationed at London
some ITO miles from Maiden, written OF
) the 10Th Of February, at which time th
detachments there were in utter ignoranc
Of any such event. If it had taken plac
on the 18th, as stated by the gentleman
at Buffalo, it must have been known d
/ London Oh the Goth. Moreover, we hav
Toronto paper of the 23d. which
altogether silent as to any such battle
