UPPER CANADA. The mail from the north which arrived this morning brought no later intelligence that that published in the Jeftersonian yesterday. For the following particulars, we are indebted to Doctor A. Trowbridge, jun.,of (this village, who was an eye witness to the battle near Prescott, from Ogdensburgb, and who'returned to this place last evening. Dr Trowbridge states, that of the Patriots who went from this county, the following are said to have been killed or wounded : Charles Brown, of Brownville, son of Judge Brown, killed —shot through head and breast. Daniel George, of Lyme, supposed killed. Monroe Wheelock, of this village, wounded. Robert Denton, of this village, missing, supposed killed. Doctor Trowbridge states, that when he left Ogdensburgh on the evening of the 14th ie Patriot force was confined to the windmill and adjoining stone buildings, in number from 100 to 150; and that there was a large British force in the rear, the British armed steam-boats lying at Prescott, or passing up and down the river, cutting off all communication with the American shore. Platoon firing was heard in Prescott, Tuesday evening supposed to be the execution of martial law on the Petri° prisoners. It thus appears that unless the Patriots are released, o effect their escape soon, they must all be cut off. The probabilities are that the whole will fall. We await with grea, anxiety further intelligence. Not a man from the Canada side joined the Patriots! (From the Montreal Courier of the 17th.) We have been favoured by a gentleman in town with the perusal of a letter received by him from Cornwall, from which we give the following extract:— "Cornwall, Nov. 15. 1838. "Col, Vankoughnet and Col. Crysler are now at Prescott, with 400 men each : as also 800 of the Glengarians. The greater part of the 92d have been forwarded by waggons from here. The steam-boat Brockville has arrived from Kingston and landed some artillery. There are also three armed steamboats on the look out to prevent any assistance from the American side to the rebels, or their being able to effect their escape by water. Escape by land is impossible, frinn the manner in which they are surrounded by our troops. It is the general opinion here, that an attack was to have been made this morning. " I regret to say that in this attack which was made on Tuesday, some of the volunteers and a few of the 83d regiment have fallen, for which a fearful retribution may be confidently predicted." (From the Watertown Jeffersonian (Extra) of Nov. 18.) We are indebted to Mr. S. Fairbanks. of this village, for a copy of the following letter received by him this morning. It is believed to be entitled to full confidence, as it is well known that the British troops left Kingston with heavy ordinance for the purpose of reducing the mill and annihilating the Patriots there assembled. The Kingston Chronicle of Thursday morning mentions the departure of the Coburg and other steam-boats with troops, &c., and also the arrival at that port of the wounded in the battle of Tuesday, and 26 Patriot prisoners, who were immediately confined in Fort Henry. The ronicle admits the British loss to have been severe; from 10 to 20 killed, and about 50 wounded. Among the former were Lieutenant Johnson, 83d regiment, Lieutenant Dalmage. of the Grenville militia, one serjeant, and three women. The Chronicle adds— "By a despatch received from Colonel Turner, dated Cornwall, Nov. 12, nine, p.m., we learn that all is going on brilliantly below—that Beauharnois was taken—all the prisoners released—the rebels made prisoners—and that the country was all in flames." A passenger in the Ogdensburgh stage stated that some few of the Patriots effected their escape on Friday night, but with few exceptions the whole were cut off. The battle was most splendid : about 2000 fighting at a time; the number of killed and wounded•in this engagement cannot fall much short of 500. You may imagine how true and faithful the Patriots at the Windmill fought, when 1 tell you that P K and a few more went to them last night, at the hazard of their lives, to take them off their position, but they refused to leave, saying that they were confident their friends would not desert them, and that there were thousands of men in county, bound by their oaths to assist them, and that they would abide by the issue. Aud now they are all, or nearly all, murdered! Respectfully, &c., J. M.
