Verbal information from Little York in Upper Canada, confirms the account ot I -ft week relpecSiing the fsacs between the militia and the regular troops. Ic appears that the militia were called out for exercife that the officers of the regular troops, difplealed with the manner of the officers ot the militia inftruding their met!) alfumed the right to control them that a fotdier retuied to obey the commands of the regular officer that in confequence he was ordered to receive eight laihes with the cat-o'ntnt-ttils that the iprummer, after hiving prepirrd the refractory militia man to receive the ft ripe s was threatened to be Ihot dead in cafe he O.ould Itnke that on a fecond order, the drummer (buck, and the loldier (hot him dead that fome of the regulars immediitcly fired on and killed the Utter that the mili:ia in turn (hot twenty feVen of the regular (two hundred in the whole) and that the latter retreated, leaving the militia in poflelfian of the fort and of two armed veflelsm lake Ontario. Our informant adds, that the Britiih government in Canada, afraid of creating further dilturbances, were for hufliing up the matter. It is laid by gentlemen who appear particularly acquainted with Canada, and the dtfpolitiotia ol its inhabitants, that in cafe of a war between America and G. Britain, one third of the people will remain neutral one third will fight for tbe Biitilh goveminent, and one third will join the Americans. It this conjcure be true, we can have no great difficulty in making a con quell of that country. DISTZLSSIXG 1MELLIGENCE. Capt. Adams of the (hip btatfmd, 48
