down as pilot to the Constitution-yesterday, narrow

The Caroline was then set on fire, and finally

drilled out into the current and went over the falls Wc give the above just a it was received, with

out vouching for any of the particulars. It may be

proper to add, however, that Captain Keeler, as we n re informed, saw the results of the scene above described. An express has been started to ascertain fully the facts. pl-rtucr particulars of the captcre of tile Caroline. The 12 o'clock Express confirms the news of this morning. It is said that tne 'Caroline was filled with visitors and not soldiers.' The word with the loyalists was,4 No prisoners no quarters!" Those who attempted to escape were killed, .with, a few exceptions the boat wa set on fire, and with the remainder, towed into the current on the Canadian side, which soon carried her over the falls. The loyalists gave three cheers for Victoria, and under cover of the darkness, it is supposed escaped the fire opened upou them from the Island. Those on board the boat slept there, because the public hones were full. Captain Harding, of the brig Indiana, escaped w ith a severe wound in the head. Only one man was found on the shore, the one above mentioned; the rest reported misting there is liltla doubt but they weal over the falls with the burning steamboat. STILL" MORE IMPORTANT. The following letter was-received at our office on Thursday night, in a slip purporting to be from the ofilce of the Baltimore Americrfh, which we immediately issued in an Extra. Our Eastern exchanges failed last evening beyond Cincinnati,' and we are consequently without further information. : It may tte untrue, but the outrage on the Caroline renders it highly probable.
