In common with all the cit papers we are disappointed in being able to lay before our readers any farther intelligence from the scene of universal interest in the West. No mail west of Utica came in this morning, by that fatality which seems to affect the Post Ofiice arrangements, when any thing is anxiously exoe.ctcd within the proinc. of that department. Two mails arc now due from Boiialo and Rochester; and, as the river is most probably now open as far ns Albany, we have every reason to anticipate the arrival of boat this evening with the news of something detisive at Navy Island. Things have ripened there to a crisis, and the final consumption can no longer be delayed. la the intcrium we give such rumors as are afloat on the subject, which our readers must take for what they are worth. The Albany papers are copying from the New York journals the news given from the litter respecting the Navy Island operations. L'rivatc letters state that the Canadian militia.-so long assembled at Chippewa, have become discontented, and returned to their homes. And An thcr, that two steamboats are preparing to take the patriots from the islands and con cy them to some point up the lake. An intelligent person who left Buffalo on the 4th, reports that three steamboats had 5,een cut out at Buffalo, and that they would he employed to convey the force on Navy Idan.i to Fort Maiden, (;it the head of Lake Erie, twelve miles below Detroit.) where it is raid a patriot force is embodied. He reports the force on the island at 1200. It is an ascertained fact that no one has yet heen killed Navy Island or at the British
encampment at Chippewa. The only loss of
life positively known is hat of Mr. Durfee at

We receive the Lower Canada papers, but
they contain nothing cl interests. 1 he only item worthy of notice is the following:
The question as to whether Lord Cos ford's

was argued heiore a lull court at chambers on the 2St!i December. The Hon. James Stuart, late Attorney General, and that eminent barrister, William NValkcr, Esq. contended for an illegality.

Fi.oRin.v. The subjoined intelligence, from the Seminole scat of war, if it can be depended upon, is ofa warlike character, and the forces of Oscola, so far from being subdued, are determined to give the government fresh cause for sending troops, and exhaustinc the
national treasury, if it is not already bare of the "better currency."

ly contested for an hour, when the Indians' gave way and fled. "We learn, with the greatest pain, that this was one of the most disastrous battles that has vet heen fought in Florida. .It is said that Gen. Gentry," of the Missouri Volunteers, Lieut. Col.

we intend to call the public attention, and let ev-

some time in March. Heretofore, when they received only two dollars per day, they generally adjourned the last of January or the first of February. Have the people any reason to complain!
Items of Latest JSV. From Maine we learn that E. H. Allen, (whig) has been elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, and N. S. Littlefleld of the Senate. There seems to be some difference of opinion, as to w ho is Governor of the State. The President has ordered Gen- Scott w ith a detachment of troops to the Canada frontier. It smells of War.
