Highly Important from the West? Further
Accounts from Navy Island? War with
England.
We have just received despatches from our three
special correspondents, how statianed on the line
leading north, from Albany to the seat of war on
Navy Island, in the Upper Canadian frontier ? and
we hasten to lay these highly interesting communi
cations before our reader?.
Our arrangements t? procure intelligence from Up
:per Canada, and the frontier, are now the most com
plete of any newspaper establishment in the country.
We have also made e ringements to run private ex
|>ra?st? on the lines, between the scenes of action und
the nearest post offices. The public may rely on the
accuracy and fullness of our accounts.
The news 'his evening, embraces further accounts
frois Navy Island, Buffalo and Upper Canada? also
the special message of the Governor, and the awful
attw?:itv perpetrated by the loyalists on the Caroline.
War with England, seems almost now to be unavoicW
able. The general and state governments, the people,
and all, appear to be eager for the onslaught. Well,
be it so. It vs easy to blunder into a war, but not so
easy to fight our way out ef it. This however must
be done. We U?1 our readers prepare. The insurrec
tion in Upper Canada, will lead to mighty revolutions.
The awful tragedy of Niagara Falls, will begin a new
era in history.
Buffam), Sv-npay Evening, Deo. 31, U37
J$*. Gonnon Bes\ett. Est*. ? Dear Sir? The
bed}' </" ihe murdered Durfee, the only one left on shore
at the taking of the Caroline, was brought to town last
night. aud publicly exhibited in front of the Eagle Ho
tel! The corpse was held up ? with its pale forehead,
mangled by the pistol ball, and his lovks matted with
his blood 1 His frieads and fellow citizens looked on
the ghastly spectacle, a?d thirsted for an opportunity to
revenge him.
Last night, a hospital at the foot ef Grand Island,
where some tick from the patriot ramp were attended
by a physician, was abducted, it is supposed by another
marauding party frem Chippewa. Ainetican soil and
the American flag are no longer any protection forth*
lives of American citizens.
The militia paraded this morning at seven o'clock,
and were under arms all the forenoon. At half past 9
a volunteer company headed by a cadet from West
Point, a splendid fellow, went down to Grand Island to
filant the stripes and stars, and maintain the American
rentier against furtlter aggiession.
At two o'clock the funeral of Durfee took place at the
Court House. The street was ci owded. Ladies in their
coachescame and filled the interior of the building? the
coffin and officers occupied the steps. Old and young
thronged the streets. The fire department and the mil
itary attended, and here and there anv?ng the dense
?.-owd were seen the nodding plume, the gleam of the
bayonet or the deadly rifle. A prayer was made by an
Episcopal clergyman. H. K. Smith, Esq., a young at
torney, then made a speech more exciting, thrilling, and
much taore indignant than Mark Antony's. The?inur
der of American citizens, on American ground, by arm
ed British subjects, is not, thank God, an every day out
rage !
Upon the return of the expedition to Chippewa, lyine
affidavits were hastily prepared la send i u Washington
and the British Government, to cire a prejudiced state
ment of the affair. other things, it is stated
that the Caroline hoisted the Patriot flag. This is known
to be incorrect.
But two prisoners were made by the Britith. That
hope is destroyed. The bodies of thoje still missing
doubtless went over the falls.
The Loyaliat force at Chippewa now amounts to over
9000, 1000 uf whieh are regulars just arrived from the
lower province ?part of the 2-lth Infantry, and the
Rangers.
The Journal of Commerce publishes a letter, statins
that Nary Island is another Gibraltar. It is no seen
thing. It is net capable ef being fortified so that 1000
men crtuld cope with 1500. The gallant fellows there
with Van Rensselaer will all he cut to pieces. McNabb
has but waited the arrival of the regulars to do it, and
? 10,000 worth of cannon will fall into the hands of the
British.
To show yon the strong confidence of Mackenzie in
the success ef his cause, I enclose his proclamation ; al
so this copy of the treasury notes which he has got beau
tifully printed, and which 1 believe are issued.

Alba.vy, Jan. 1,1*38.
Thia day, at noon, both houses of the Legislature
convened. In the Senate. the Governor'* Message was
read. and that body adjourned to digest thia remarkable
document.
The Secretary of State administered the oath to the
mw member* of the lower house, and forthwith the
electiona for Speaker and other officers were Weld. Mr.
liradiali was cnoaen to preaide over the Assembly. He
made the usual speech? talked about an early despatch
of busiaesa, and recommended no<1rraiion Sic. towards
the Van Duren men. A Mr. Lake waa appointed Clerk,
aa a reward for hia teal and services in the good cause,
He is from Herkimer.
The Governor's Message seemed to go very much
against the feelings of the Whig Lower House. The
members looked at one another, and at the reader, and
then fell to thinking about the law of causa and effect.?
There will be aome curious developements of sundry
opinions before a week passes over <mr head.
Mr. Marry ia now fairly before the world a* a faith

himself. He haa trodden in the footatepaof hi* political

compliment, but it ia a left-handed one. How will they
relish the endorsement of the auk-treaaury by their old
and staunch friend, the f Governor ?
Could any thing be more ridiculous than the Legisla
tivecaucus of the Whigs on New Yaar's day ? Like a
big wind cloud, it darkened the whole heavens, and the
poor locofocoa trembled like aspen leavea. When they
asked how many houses had been blown dewn by thia
threatening storm, ? lo and behold ! the sky was serene
and the portents had vaniahed ! Could the Whige not
have agreed upon Mr. Bradish without all this formali

and their enemies will soeu learn their weak poiata, In a

TtWnorrow's dolnes promise to he more interesting.?
You Shall hear from me evert day. The restrianing
law ?fk<| the Governor are all the talk this evening ? the
surprise feit at hearing hia perfect conversion to locofo

matter is that It ia the nature of every animal to drag

Thr loeofocos, too, had their caucus, by way of keep,

I From anr Com <>?n?t#m V<r?n, ]
At.?*i?r, Jan. S, 1037.
I have jnst had a lone conversation with a very intel
ligent gentleman, who left Buffalo on Saturday evening
the .10th nit. He has fully described to me an account
?f the outrage upon the Caroline. I give it to you aa I
received 'it, assuringyou that you may place full confi
dence ia tke narrator's veracity.
On Friday, the 29th of December, an attack wa? ex
pected upon Navy Island, from the British shore. Many
of our citizens had congregated at Schlosser, about 20
miles north from Buffalo, as affording an excelleat view
of the scene. The assault aid uot talue place, and the
company remained at Schlosser. In consequence of
waut of accommodation in the one hotel of the place,
about 32 persons took their lodgings upon the steam
boat Caroline.
The owners of this boat had sent her to Schlotser to
ply as a ferry boat, between itaud Navy Island. They
made uo charge for transporting volunteers, but exacted
heavy tells ot all otliera. whom curiosity oi business
called to make the trip across. The Caroline was apoor
affair, small, and of little value.
Co!. McNabb, hearing of this, despatched 50 men to
the landing place at JVavy Island, with orders to t*ecur<?
the boat, and put it korg du combat. Not finding the ob
ject of their search, they extended their inquiries to
tfchlosser, in violation of the laws of neutrality.
About 3 o'clock, A. M , on Saturday, the 30th ultM
this party of troops made their descent upon the Caro
line. They commenced an indiscriminate slaughter of
the persons on board, and succeeded in killing 12. The
rest fortunately escaped. One of the United States run
ners was shot through tlve head, on the wharf, in the
act of escaping. Three gentlemen of high respectabili
ty were slightly wounded. The boat was then cut from
her moorings, and hauled off into the stream, where,
taking the current, she was precipitated ovee the (alls,
with nearly all the dead bodies on board. You will re
member that Schlosser is tlie lowest landing point on
the American side, above the fall*.
During the whole of Saturday the utmost excitement
prevailed in Buffalo. Knots of men were to be seen in
every direction talking over the matter and swearing
j revenge. The military were called out for the purpose
of preventing the uproar from breaking out into retalia
tory measures. Before night set in, tha general feeling
ha<l subsided to a determination not to violate the trea
ty of peace on our part.
This change in men's feelings had been brought about
by a communication from Col. McNabb, expressly dis
avowing the act, but admitting the outrage. It was at
once seen that the President would demand tke surren
der of the 50 men up to the authorities of the United
States, to be tried as murderers. A firm determination,
however, prevailed, to resist any further aggression up
on our rights in a manner becoming freemen.
The force o? Navy Island, my informant tells me,
does not exceed 700 men. About one half of them are
Americans. All their field pieces belong to the United
States and to the State of New Yotk. They have a brass
nine pounder stoien from Syracuse. Had Col. McNabb
acted on the defensive, in tnree weeks more not a man
would have been found on the island. They are main
tained entirely by contributions from this side. This ex
citement will however tend to increase the number of
the troops and the means of sustaining them.
Colonel M'Nabb told a friend of my informant on
Saturday that he would attack the insurgents in four days
from that time. He had made a reconnoissance of the
Island early on Friday morning the 2i)th, and had got
nearly round beforo he was discovered. By huggtng
close to the American shore, he escaped the shots of the
enemy. He was in a twelve oared Whitehall boat.
On Friday morning a few shots were fired from the
south end of the Island to the mouth of a small creek
above Chippewa, where the Provincials were hauling
up and examining some boats. The fire compelled
them to desist from further operations. Thia is the true
English of the accounts you will see of the breastworks,
cannonading, fee.
Governor Head is at Toronto, where the Assembly is
in session. A gentleman from your city juat informa me,
Ik sniveii at Buffalo on Friday last, from a trip in
to the interior of t'pp" J?, una n?t not a man
was in arms against the government, except the force
, " 'sland, and about 150 discontented Catholics
They have called a meeting in this city, to take into
consideration the outrage at Schlosser. One thing is
certain : ? our government mutt have the murderers, as
Col. M'Nabb has already disclaimed the act.
Special Nriiftfc.
To tii* Lsghlatub* I received last evening,
after my annual message was prepared, information
of an occurrencc which 1 hasten te communicate
you.
The territory of this stale has been invaded, and
some of our citiz na murdered, by an arined force,
from the Province of Upper Canada.
By the documents accompanying this communica
tion, it will be perceived that the steamboat Caroline,
owned by one of our citizens, while lying at SchloMsr
on the Niagara river, within the limits of this state,
on the night of the 29th of December last, was forci
bly seized by a party of 70 er 30 armed men in boats,
which csme from, and returned to the Canada shore.
The crew and other persons in this steamboat, amount
ing to thirty three, were suddenly attacked at mid
night, after they had retired to repose, and probablv
more than one third of them wantonly massacred.
The boat waa detached from the wharf to which it
had been secured, set on fire, taken into the middle of
the river, and by the force of the current earned over
Niagara Kails. Twelve of the persens who were on
bosro of it, are missing, and there is ground te fear
thai they were killed by the invaders in their attack
upon it, or perished in its descent over the cataract.
Of those who escaped from the boat, one was killed
on the wharf, and several others were wounded.
I am warranted in assunng you, that the anthori
ties not only of this State, but of the United States,
have felt an anxious solicitude to maintain the rela
tions of peac*- and stnet neutrality with the British
province* of Upper and Lower Canada at all time*
since the commencement of the civil disturbances
therein, and have in all reepecta done what was in
cumbent upon them to do, to sustain these relations.
The occurrence to which I have alluded, is an outrage
that has not been provoked by any act done, or duty
neglected, by the Government of this Stateoref the
Union. If it should appear that this boat was intend
ed to be ased for the purpose of keeping up an inter
course between this State and Navy Islsnd, which
is now held by an assemblage of p?r?ona in dcfiance
of the Canadian government, this circumstance would
furniah no juatiflcation for the hoatile invasion of our
territory and the destruction of the lives of our citi
zens.
The general government is entrusted with the main
tenance of enr foreign relations, and will undoubted
ly take the necessary steps tu redress the wrong and
SHstain the honor of the country.
Thoagh I have received no official information of
the fact, I have good reaaon to believe that the local
authonuea of thia state have taken prompt and effi
cient means, not only to proteet our soil from further
invasion, but to reprees any retaliating measnrea of
sggression which our citizens under the impulse of
deeply excited and indignant feelings, might rashly
resolve to adopt; and that the patriotic militia in the
vicinity of the scene of the outrage, haveobeyed with
alacrity the call which has been made upon them for
these purposes.
It will probably be necessary for this state to keep
up a military foroe for the protection ?f our citizena
and the maintenance of peace, until an opportunity ii
given to the general government to interpose with ill
power. In that event, I apprehend that it will be ne
cessary for yon to provide by law for the payment
and maintenance of such forces as the occastou may
reouire.
I shall doubtleas receive, within a short time, ( ffi
cial information of what the local authontiea have
done, and shall be better enabled to form an opinion
of what will be neceasarv en the part of this state, to
preserve our rights and tne public tranquility. I shall
then communicate further Willi you on the subject,
and snggeet such measures in relation to it, as may
require your consideration. W. L. MARCY.

Park Thf.aTKE. ? The hybrid tragedy (-ailed Brutui,
which profeshes to be the production of Mr. John How
ard Paine, (who pressed about three scenes from inad
Nat Lee's tragedy on the same subject, with a stray uct
or two from Valtaire) was produced at this theatre last
night, Mr. Forrest assuming the character of ihe "son
of Marous Junius." So far as folding the arms, knit
ting the brows, and thundering forth declamation about
liberty and Korue, go to tlte making of a stern Roman,
Mr. Forrest succeeded well in his delineation ; but the
vivttlavit, the natural emotion which bursts through the
stoicism of the Raman father, was but faintly shadowed
forth, and was scarcely perceptible through the thick
coatisg of rant and fustian with which the part was
overlaid. Mr. Mason jerked out the language of Titua
by iniervals, like the flowing of water in accordance
wiili the motions of the pump handle. Kichings in Se r
tn? Tarquin was a nonentity, and Mr. Fredericks as Col
lutinu* was excruciating. What treatise de re wistraria
he consulted for hi? costume as a Uoinan Consul we
cannot conceive ! but the idea of the associate magis
trate of the infant republic dressing himself in a close
fitting jerkin, with a blanket thrown round him, was
certainly a new fancy, and made the actor leok very
much like the immortal Knight of the Rueful Counte
nince.
Mr. Isherwood, like several others of the Stock Com
pany here is physically incompetent to the performance
of tragedy. But we must not break flies upon the
wheel.
Mrs. Shaw invested the part of Tnrquinia with a
beauty, grace, and tenderness that redeemed the ab
surdities of the rest ef the caste, and while gazing upon
her, and listening to th?t music of her tones, we forgot
Miss Cmhman's Tullia, and repressed our inclinatiou to
iaugli at Uie manner in which she died, as if struck by
apoplexy. The inclination w>? indecorous, certainly,
but it was generally participated by the spectators. In
the Bdynderc, Mudame Lecompte again exhibited I'am
plear dt set pudiquc* charnua in full luxuriance, and there
was a larye muster in the first row uf the pit, to gloat
over the display. What the next Bayadere will do to
attract is a puzzler ? the force of nature can ne further
go even now.
Madame Lecoinpt's exhibition of herself, may be
compared to a light burning within an alabaster vase,
perfectly transparent and diaphanous ? but as the old
song has it.

The beauiiful and ever popular spectacle of Aladdin,

National Theatre.? Another benefit. We had
half reselved not to notice benefits at all, but our re
solution has settled into noticing them without steel
ing our pen, or dipping it into the gall of criticism. ?
We could not Itt that ence great actor, who is now
far above the common range of performers, 'take his
leave of us without a passing word. It is of his Ru
gantino alone that we shall speak. This is his own
character. The character in which he made so great
a sensation in London on the boards of Old Drury. ?
His performance then is still fresh in our memories,
and if it had not last night all its former fierce and vi
gor, and though time has made some ravages with
our eld friend, ne is still competent, well competent
for the part, and afforded us and the audience great
pleasure; we enjoyed it perhaps from old associa
tions, more than those who had not seen him before.
Miss Wheatley's Rosabelle is not to be spoken of in
comparison with herRacharl Haywood, but we re
member our promise. On benefit nichta ?oto?
iiie fame licence that the whole male
community of this Slate has on new years day. A lit
tle irregularity of conduct is overlooked.
Bowery Thf.atrb. ? Last night the comedy of
Paul Pry was played at this theatre with pretty fair
success. The part of Paul Pry in the hands of Mr.
Coweli, was well sustained. It is a character whieh
gives an actor who is inclined, and accustomed to
lo lake liberties with an audience, a great latitude.?
That Mr. Co wall avoided thin t?mptntion it much to
hid credit. He is an actar who has evidently studied
Hamlet's advice to the plavers, and saya no more
than ia set down far him. There is another actor in
thin establishment who is deserving of great credit. It
ia Mr. Blakelev. His Col. Hardy way a fine per
formance. Mrs. Herring as Phmbe, waa any thing
but the Phoebe of the author. Yet she was amusing.
She ia a good actress? in many parts an excellent
aetresa; but ahe has rather too much force. She
?trives too much for effect, and stands out too much
from the gencial picture, instead of harmonizing with
it. Of the other charaetera, aa it waa a benefit night,
we shall not speak. But we had rather see upon
thaae occasions a comedy than a tragedy, ll is not,
if indifferently played, so bad as the tedium in which
a tragedy drags its slow length along.

be deceived by designing persons, whose only object is to make
money, and who are perfectly careless of consequences. It is
a matter of no importance to them whether the poor child is
rescued from a bed ot sickness and restored to tbe yearning
arm<ofils parent, or whether him on whom a large family rely
aolely upon for support, is prevented from filling an early and
untimely grave. The tirue may come when the greatness of
their guilt shall beeome clear to their now benighted under
standings, and then it it hoped they will endeavor to make
some amends by the after put ity of their lives.
Every authorized Agent has a copperplate certificate of
agency, and has it exhibited in his store. Never purchase un
less this is seen ? and have some regard also to the character
the ap? nt bears among his (e How cithern. He must he a mis
erable villain who would place the life of a fellow creature in
danger for the purpose or making money.
