Winfield Scott was among the prisoners ta-
ken by the British at the battle on the Heights
at Queenstown. The prisoners were sent to
Quebec, and there Scott and his fellows of
American birth were exchanged but all who
were supposed to have been born in allegi-
ance to the British crown were excluded from
the exchange cartle and ordered or board a
frigate to be sent to England, to be there
tried for high treason. In giving an account
of this transaction, the Buffalo Express says:

that if it became necessary, he would himself
avenge this outrage upon his Irish brethren in
arms by refusing to give quarter to the Eng

prisoners. The Irish were sent to England
but Scott followed up the matter to the end
He reflected the passage of an act through

Canada Flour. !.

The Oswego Times of the !2eth says: ~
There is something over $4,000 barrels
Canadian bonded flour in store there for ship
ment' About the same quantity has al
ready been shipped. Can any one doubt
that with this to compete with American flour
in the New York market, prices will fall to
the lowest point And yet the reciprocity
law finds many supporters. While upon this
subject, We ask the attention of our readers
TO the following extract from an article on the
subject of the Erie Canal enlargement, and
the course pursued by the twelve Senators in
New York, to defeat it, taken from the Hanil-
ton. &c. Wy Spectator of the oath ultmo: 'i'
The action of the New York Senate is of
considerable importance to Canada, in COM
mercial point of view. tits very well known
that the Erie Canal is now used to the
llextent of its capacity, and as the work is
not to be enlarged, the vast and increasing
produce of the West mnst End another route
to market The Canadian waters afford the
only other outlet to the ocean, and there can
be no doubt but it will soon be used extensi-
vely. yi ssafHaef7 da- 1 aaH"t
Hitfhis is the doctrine The Canadians expect
and hope ro profit by she neglect of the peo-
pie on this side, to attend to their interests
The navigation ofthe St. Lawrence they be-
lieve will become necessary-and then recip-
rocity will be enforced This is one of their
projects. Another is to shut the Wellaad
Canal against American bottoms. until reci-
pocity is granted. There is little probability
that they will ever do this, though they
threaten. Our citizens should put them
selves beyond the reach of their threats, by
building Canal around the falls on the
American side, and enlarging the Erie canal
as speedily as possible. This is the true policy,
and we doubt not it will be effected, rather
than yield an inch TO the demands of our re-
ciprocity with Canada, say We. PIG.
