LtKiti-ts in Syria The editor of the Advertiser, has received Sm) rna'papers to July :J. from which he copies the following account of the remarkable destruction of locusts, b order of Ibriham Pacha, of S ria. In the beginning of summert there appeared such a pro digious flight of Locusts, that they threatened all the crops with certain destruction. Ibriham immediately adopted a measure for the preservation of the country, from the disaster which threatened it. All the population of Aleppo was pulMn requisition, and divided info sections, forced to go out of the city ta hunt Locusts. The same thing was dene in some other districts invaded by the injects. Ibriham at the head of his troops, scouring the country, compelled every body to go to work, great and small, officers and soldiers. After forty days of an uninterrupted hunt, he sue. ceeded in delivering the country from this de. v.-istntini; scourge, and saving (Pi crop. il is curious to see the immense result of lias xpcdilion.

From th
CANADA.
Wc this day received papers from Upper Canada to the 10th October; the political horizon in that province is still becoming more dark and cloudy; three regiments il is
stated, are ordered to Montreal, where hith
erto there were only two or three companies, and a large range of stores on one of the. wharves are converted into temporary barracks. Several public officers, whom the Lt. Goverof the Upper province did not conMdcrsuflicieatly pliable to his w ill have either necessarily resigned or heen tamed out, and
more passive instruments nominated; among
(hose who have been discarded, is the Hon
Peter Robinson, brother to the Chief Justice who held the responsible office of commissioner of Crown Lands, and was a member of the
Executive and Legislative councils, and very
popular; the Hon. Geo. Markland was placed
by the lion. John alacauly, wiiowe presume must be a very convenient tool for his excellency to work with, ii we are to judge from ihe number of offices over which lie presides, as we find no less than eight, exclusive of his new one, attached to his name, with many etceteras. Another fhfaisive measure of the head of the Government is the establishment of a new paper in Toronto, to be called the
4Roval Standard:" but we are inclined to
think that the day is now gone when the
Phantom of Royalty can make a nation crouch
beneath the rod of tyranny and oppression. In a former number wc offered some remarks on the extraordinary and unconstitutional means pursued by the Lieut. Governor, to constitute an House of Representa
tives, who would legislate according to his
dictation; from the remarks which follow,
which we take from the Correspondent and
Advocate of Toronto, our readers may forn
some idea of the efforts that are used to tram
mel and harrass the Canadians, and make
them obediently kiss the rod of their oppress ors: we however must be very much mista
ken, if the spirit of freedom nurtured in them
from their cradles, will not arouse and pro
claim, that Brjtons and the sons of Britains
jieycr will be slayes,
