{ Fromihe Albany Argus ^ " Ocbexkbebgb , Feb . 22 . —I have just travelled through these counties and arrived here last night , and am surprised to find that such extensive preparations have been made , and that , too , without exciting any public attention until within the last day or two . It seems , however , that individuals haTe been for some time past engaged in scouring the country with ? sleighs , and are soliciting provisions and property- ofevery description for the poor Canadians , who , it was represented , had been driven from their homes , &c Various accounts are given of the state of public feeling in Canada , some saying that the people there are collecting and making
preparations to assist in the movement from this aide , and others representing the ' great mass of the population there as loyaL However this may bev these can be no doubt mat a moremfint is ia con- ? templation from some point between this and French Creek , and from afl accounts it may be an energeti : one , and such an oag ^ as will be likely to provoke ¦ agsresaons from tJSTother side . Every boar that 1 hire seen for the last two or three days at" all the taverns , < fcc-, seems to expect that an attempt is to be made immediately . Persons by the ' sleigh load haregoneon , and I * ee no reason to doubt thata very considerable force may , by this time , be on it * war over the river .

*• It-was reported here last evening that a patriot force had made a stand on St .

By cie nonhem mail oi this evening we have received the foflowingbiehly interesting loews from the seat of war in Upper Canada , which we hasten to lay before our readers . The letter is from onr frontier correspondent , and its statements may be relied on : — ~ JFatertoum , Fd > , 22 , 5 o ' clock , p . m . ^ Deab SiBSr—I arrived here last evening , and found a high state of feeling on the state of Canada afiairs . The patriot forces were concentrated at French Creek , on the St . Lawrence , twenty miles north of this place . To-day it is said they have crossed over to Jlickery Island , in the Canada channel of theSt . Lawrence . Theirnumber is Tariouslv
estimated—from 500 to 2 JK » men . Their intended morment orpointof attack is only conjectured . It I * said to be Kingston by some ; by others , that their object is to make a stand on Canadian ground , to give confidence to foe people in favour of a revolution , and when sufficient i&rce -stall have joined the standard , then to act on the offensive , and adopt snch plan , as shafl bethought advisable . u people of Kingston are in a high state of amement and anxiety . They anticipate an attack , and hare barricaded their streels— -raj 8 ea ice breastwarksin front of the town , on the river —^ keep np a
TkQant police , and trhat force they can muster nader arms . Somelitfle apprehension is felt by the frontier towns ihim an attack may be made by the loyalists in case die patriots should hazard a battle aid be driven back . Orders are , therefore , being issued , calling opt the militia . The prospect is , fliers -idll be stirring times here for a few days . "A rumour has reached here that General Wool has been ordered on to Sacketts Harbour , which gives some relief to those whose fears have been exdted about an attack from the Canadians , or rather file Indians , who have been called in to the defence of Kingston ,, to the number of two or three
hundred . " -, " .- _ . - "P . S .

&rther attempt on the Canadas . The excitement here for the last three days has been greater than ai any time during the last war , and we are all glad that it itf ended . „ . . _• , - 3 * <* Eight companies of our mih&a are ordered out , and are now assembling to preserve order , and to protect , against any retaliatory measures on Trench Creek , the head-quarters of the patriots .

( From Vie Express qf the 1 st . ) FROM THE FBOWTIEE . The report of the capture of Brockville , which we published yesterday , is not confirmed by later dates received to-day . 11 us . said that a considerable force has assembled on Grindstone Island , opposite Gananoque , a small island belonging to the United States . Preparations have been made at Kingston to repel any attack on that place . - . The Vermont frontier is represented to be in a quiet state . The following sHp from the Buffalo Star is entitled tolitfle credit , and is probably only a rumour , like a thousand others , which the excited state of feeling along the line have , given rise to . The Commercial Advertiser of . the -same evening makes no mention of it . It is said , too , that Van Rensselaer is at Syracuse , or was on the 22 d : — « Buffalo Star Office , Saturday , Feb . 24 , 6 } p . m .
"IMPORTANT FROM CANADA . "A gentleman is now . in our office who came directly from Upper Canada , and states that he there saw as many as 15 or 16 wounded British soldiers , who arrived in two sleighs direct from Maiden The battle was said to have been fought on Sunday evening , and 250 British soldiers were killed . He left Hamilton about nine o'clock last evening . "It was said that Fort Maiden and all the military stores liad fallen into the hands of the patriots .
"A report is also in town , corroborated by the same gentleman , that Van Rensselaer has obtained complete possession of Kingston . " ( From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Feb . 2 i . J It is reported that the patriots in the neighbourhood of the Manme Bay have concentrated their straggling parties , and " made a bold dash into Canada , crossing on the ice , ' and entering the province a little below Maiden . We give the story for wbat it is worth , although we very much doubt its correctness . -
IMPORTANT FROM DETROIT . ( From the Cleveland Advertiser ) The foBewingletter was received by this morning ' s mail from a gentleman , a resident of this city , now in Detroit , whose statements are made from personal observation , and may be relied upon as correct : —¦ "Detroit , Friday , Feb . 16 . _ " fhave just passed from Lower Sandusky to this city , and have collected all the information as to the plans , the strength of the patriots , and also the means of resistance with which they are to be opposed by the provincial government . " General Van Rensselaer is here in person , thongh he appears only incog ., and Sutherland and Freeland
are tuso here , and Duncombe and Mackenzie are supposed to be here . "The patriot army , which is scattered along this portion of the frontier , is from fifteen hundred to two thousand strong , and is well supplied , it is believed , by its officers , with all the necessary munitions of war . Few , however , of the soldiers are to be found in the principal towns , but are dispersed through the interior , at some distance from the shore , who stand ready at a moment's warning to rush to the rallying points , and enter upon actual service . Dispatches were sent yesterday to different quarters , the object of wEch , as is supposed , was to collect and march to the point designated for the complete organization of the army . You will see , therefore , that should nothing ' occtii to arrest the present movements , a
descent will be made Tipon Canada as early as Sunday or Monday next . The intention is to cross the ice a mile or more below Gibraltar , and enter the province at a sufficient distance from the fort at Maiden to avoid being borne down upon by the ordnance stationed there for its defence . w In relation to the force at Maiden , 'it is variously estimated at from five hundred to eleven hundred regular troops ; the latter of which must fall nearer the truth , provided the intelligence of last evening was correct , that a reinforcement of eight hundred men from Toronto has been received . Prior to this , however , the force at Maiden must have been very inconsiderable . "
- STILL LATER . Detroit , Saturday , Feb . 17 . Intelligence reached here this morning that the patriots crossed over to the Canada shore last evening with a strong force . They entered the province below Maiden , according to previous arrangement . [ from the same paper of the 2 d . ] FROM THE FRONTIER . The northern mail brings no additional information from the frontier . It is doubtful , whether any movement has been made against Canada . Large bodies . ofmen . are assembled , and it is obviously their intention to make an nffnrk upon ^ r"n \ j ^ T , ta .. »* . m ^ the same time . The British force is now yery strong , and any attempt to invade either province would ¦ undoubtedly be defeated .
UPPER CANADA . Extract from a letter dated Toronto , February 15 th , 1838 : 41 Mr . Roaf , Congregationalist minister here , refused to billet six Tory Tolnnteers which were gent to his residence for that purpose , and though obliged to appear before the mayor , said he was . determined to hazard all consequences . On Friday night six men entered his house without a warrant and carried off forty-two dollars in furniture , and told him that six more would be sent to-morrow . As yet they hare not done so . He is the man for them . The pr isoners , of whom upwards of 400 are in gaol suffering the keenest privations , are miserably in want of clothing , many of them not having received a change since their confinement . Many are sick , not a few dead , and the allowance in victuals is a quart
of water and two pounds of bread , furnished them once in two days . ' The trials commence next month . Messrs . Parker , Morrison , and Montgomery are confined in the same cell . General Theller is said to be a noble man . He has three scarsin his breast , and is groaning under the heavy irons which bind him to the floorof his dungeon . " The Reported Battix at MALPHj ^ -Tlje CommercialAdvertiser says , WW « haTe « eeift # « tlH > from-an officer stationed at London , some 110 miles from Maiden , written on the 2 Pth February , at which time the . detachments there were in utter ignorance of any such event . If it had taken place on the 18 th as stated by the ' gentleman' at Buffalo , it must have been known at London on the 20 th . Moreover , we hare a Toronto paper of the 23 rd , which U altogether silent as to any such battle . " ( FBOH THB DETROIT DAILY ADVERTISER , TEB . 13 . )
We understand that 101 barrels of flour have been taken from the steam-boat General Brady , lying in the river below this city , and within the American territory , by some persons connected with the patriot cause . The flour is said to hate belonged to the British government . This last circumstance doubtless operated upon the minds of the patriots ( citizens of the United States ) , bnt still the act was illegal and wrong , because the property , being on the Amecan side , was under the protection , of < he laws of the United States .

( FROM THE SAME PAPER . ) / We understand that Mr . Mackenzie , General Van Rensselaery and Dr . Duncombe axe in or about that city . It is impossible to conceal that something of the highest importance , one way or the other , may soon occur in this neighbonrhooo . The river at this city is now frozen over . We have also a slight covering of snow / which makes tolerable sleighing . In the country there is plenty of snow : The Toledo Gazette of the 13 th _ says : —** We hare been informed by a gentleman direct from Detroit , that Captain Davis , of London ^ Upper Canada , who was severely wounded and taken prisoner on board the schooner Ann at Amsterdam , died in prison at
Maiden last week . Dr . Theller and ColonelDodge , who were also wounded , had so Jar recovered that they were removed to Toronto gaol laftweek . " The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of the 20 th says that Major Samuel B .: Chase ,, of the Navy Island forces , was arrested on Sunday last by one of the deputy-marshals , on a charge , of setting on foot and devising the means for a military expedition to be earned on from tiie United State * against a foreign power with which the United States are at peace .

Lord Gosford was expected to leave Quebec on the 22 d . He is to be in this city , , but whether he will sail from here or Boston we cannot say .
[ Fmm the same Paper of the 27 th . ] FROM UPPER ' CANADA . A series of resolutions have been introduced into the Provincial Parliament , approving of the destruction of the steam-boat , Caroline , highly applauding the conduct of all who were engaged in that enterprise , and recommending a demand upon our government for the expenses of the pending rebellion in that conntrjv Mr . Sherwood , supporting the resolutions , said , they ought not for a moment to shrink from declaring the truth , let the consequences be what they might . As for the assertion that we had been invaded by American citizens , it was a well-known fact that all the American frontier from Detroit to Plattsburg was , or at least had been , in a slate of
war . ¦ - .. . _ .- . - - ¦ . _ ¦¦;¦ ¦ % r . . . -. Mr . Speaker M'Nab said , it is uot a time when we should , as it were , " stand shaking in our shoes , " because they choose to bluster andl ) ully by means of their official correspondence , which , if I have any skill in judging , all emanated from Mackenzie himself . :- ;" ¦ ¦ ¦ - :- ; - ¦ • ¦ .. - ¦ . - ¦ :- ' , ' - .

' It is a matter of public ' notoriety , of . which not a child who is able to read can be ignorant , that the Americans'ha >* e . committed unprovoked aggressions upon our territory . And it is equally well known that an American citizen , whostyles himself Gen . Van Rensselaer , who commanded the invading forces , was now living in the same house and upon the same friendly terms with Gen . Scott , whose presence on the
frontier was ostensibly to put a stop to the piratical and hostile proceedings of their people . And then they talk to us about the impracticability of restraining their citizens . Ate we to be told that the authorities have not ; -. sufficient power / . \ Then let them suffer the consequences . Let them be answerable , as a matter of justice and common right , for the mischief which they have committed . : They have been as much in a state of war against the province as it is possible for any people , to Ve , and I hope it will be plainly and unhe 4 tatingly expressed , that they may see and be convinced that
their conduct is well understood , and that they are held in contempt and defiance . He ( the Speaker ) would just mention an instance of duplicity on the part of the renowned General Arcularius- ^ a . fact that came within his own knowledge . That distinguished personage , meeting upon the road a detachment of recruits conseying a piece of ordnance which was destined for the . service of belligerents upon Navy Island , questioned the party as to what they were going to do . u Oh ! we are only gbine to shoot ducks , ' was the ridiculous answer , which complelely satisfied the government official , who allowed them to proceed unmolested .
Mr . Gowanread passages of a letter , which , he said , was from a member of the house , now in the city of New York , one who was neither a Tory nor an Orangeman . Speaking of General Scott and the army upon Navy Island , he says " General Scott is friendly to them , and , in fact , plans for them—war will be the result .

Speaker M'NaV felt perfectly satisfied that there was not an honourable member , in : that house who , had he been placed in the situation , in which he ( Mr .

DUEL IN WASHINGTON—DEATH OF MR . CILLEY . fPashingtm , Feb . 24 , Saturday Night . A melancholy affair has taken place among the great men of the nation . Cilley , of M aine , has been killed in a duel to-day by Graves , of Kentucky . It , appeac 5 that Colonels ebb , of the € bwr «? r , challenged CiBeyjtpr what he had said of him in the house , and Graves carried the challenge . Cilley refused to fight snch a "blackguard , ' . as he called him , and was challengedrthereupon by Graves , according to
the laws of duelling , which challenge he accepted . They fought with nfles , agreeably to flie request of Cilley , I believe , first three times without injury : ' the fourth fire Cilley was shot through the body , the ? ball dividing the principal artery leading to the heart . He placed his hand upon . the part where the ball entered , exclaiming "I am wounded !" gasped two or three times , and expired . Graves not injured Great excitement prevails , as you : . may suppose . The bod £ of Cilley was brought in , and carried to his lodgings between fire and > ix this afternoon .

and fold her she and her husband must apply for additional , relief to the authorities of St . Botojph-Without . Aldgate , in which she and her husband had a legal settiemeittti She waited the church-warden of Aldgate , who said that she and her husband and child ought to be : reliieyed ^ but nothing could be done for her until she was passed from ; Shadvirell . -to Aldgate . She waited on Mr . Sergeant again on Monday , arid was then accompanied by ^ her ^ husband ; They represented to him whatMh Mander had said , and ; begged : of him to pass them to Aldgate , vrhich he refused to do or to relieve them , nor would he give ; them a friendly
pass , phe had managed to scrape on-dunng the week by pawning the last article , and begging a little from one Jand a little from another . Having nothing to eat either for herself or child , she went to ^ the ^^ relievirig-pfiicer again that morning , and he said he had ; hothing to do with her , and he would hot relieve her or pass her .: ^ Mr . / Broderfp said ^ he was afraid he could not interfere in the matter . People were coming to the office every hour complaining of their distressed ¦ ;¦ condition , and there really was a great deal of distress , but the magistrates could not relieve them . The woman ( biirstr ing into tears , )—I have not broken my fast this
morning , until" iny landlady gave my little boy a piece of bread and butter and myself a potato . Mr . Broderip ^ Is there tio work in the docks now ?—I suppose not . A Thames-pdlice officer said , business was almost at a stand-still in the docks , owing to the ; navigation being suspended by the ice . The woman .--. My / husband has not earned a farthing for more than a inonthj and his wages are always very lovr , scarcely sufficient to keep ' us at any time . Mr .

, I caii't get passed from Shadwell . : I woul ^ not have come here , if I was hot in great vfant , and we have no fire , Sir . Mr . Broderip said , probab ! y ; Mr ; Sergeant could not assist the woman j : he ; was no longer the ^ relievingoverseer , he belieyedi The officer . ^ - YeSj Sir , he is still actingi Mr . Broderip directed an officer to go to him with the woman , ; and see if soinething could not be done with the family . He knew there was a great dearth of ^ employment , and much distress , and at this inclement season of the year the Poor Law Commissioners wished that relief
should be given promptly to all destitute persons , and that they should not want ; he believed that was the wish of the commissioners , and he was sure the rate-payers did not want , to- see their feHowcreatures perishing at . thw time . The family ought to be reliered , if the man could get no employment . Blaby , an officer , accompanied the ^ ' 6 map . to ' "the hoase of the relieving officer , and on his return said he had represented the wishes of the bench to ; Sergeari t , who had given the family an qider to go ..

Brussels , March 2 h- -In showing himself read y to sign the twenty-four articles , King Williairi has doubtless been moved b y maiiy important considera ? tions . The first isthe ^ necessity ; 6 fflaying the storm which is beginning to murmur among the people , who are crushed under the weight of the public burdens , a storm of which the preliminary indications have several timesmaiifesteathemseives even in the States General , which : are in general so tractable ^ riot to say obsequious . The second is to show a deference ^ to theMdecisipn ' - ' of the power who will give him credit for it , however tardy he . may appear ;
and we should be astonishedlf his obstinacy should even be commended . in the apprpachirig conference as pradent delay . The third is his thorough conviction that ' this acceptance w 21 not a little embarrass Belgium , on account of the enOnnqus burden which the tweutv-four articles are pleased to impose on us . The fourth is to get the sums required for his year ' s expenditure voted , aiid which he could not have obtained otherwise , whatever may be said .
