We believe the suggestion emanated frocn that truly energetic and gallant General at present administering the Government of New Brunswick ; he being fully aware of the total impracticability of the line by the Temiscouata Portage, at this season of ths year, when the rivers are not troxen.From all we can hastily gather on this subject, it appears that the despatches carried express from Sir John Colbome, were delivered by Lieut. Ingall 15th Regiment, to Sir John Harvey, at Fredericton, after midnight of Sunday, the 4th Nov. The next morning the Regin*» nt received orders to embark on the 8th for St. Johns; and at the port I were transhipped into large steam vessels for the Petticcdiac Rwer, and landed at what is termed the u Bend,” above Dorchester, on Sunday, the 11th.The next day, Lieut. Colonel Senior, having ascertained that the evpect'U funu ttw-UI bad not arrived at Shediac. merely sent over his baggage, and, on the 11th, inarched in with the light wing, being followed, the next morning by the remainder of the corps. A.rd here it is but jastice to the brave and loyal New Brunswickers, to notice the marked attention and hospitality which they, upon all occasions, evinced.A British Regiment never having been seen before in the remote and humble village of Shediac, its arrival c rosed no small sensation among this portion of the hardy ‘kblue no^e?.”On the morning of the 113th, the bark Sophia, which bad come round from Quebec, in consequence of H. M. ships Andromache and Aihul being required for other services* worked into har-hour from the east side of Shadjac island, where ' she had brought loo the precious evening. At the same time the steam frigate Medea hove iu sight but, unlortuu tely, she struck on a flat rocky shoal about two and a half miles south-east of Shadiac Island. It was not until ten o'clock the next morning, the 16th, that slie succeeded in getting oft', and the weaUier being calm, fortunately without any damage.
