Our squadron on this station has been very active.

Prizes arrive here daily, I could almost say hourly.
The Emulous brig brought in ten yesterday, and 30,000 dollars were found on board some of them.

Mr.Foster, late ambassador to the American States, has been here nearly a week; he is to sail for England to-day.

According to the best information we can obtain here, the Northern and Eastern States of America are extremely inimical to, and dissatisfied with, the war; so much so, that there is reason to suppose they will dissolve the Union shortly, and declare themselves totally independent of the Southern and Western States.
The American privateers are extremely numerous and daring in this neighbourhood; and, I am sorry to add, they have proved but too successful, having captured several of our vessels bound to Quebec and New Brunswick, and some to this port.

I received a note about an hour ago from Lieut.-Colonel Pearson, who sailed from hence last Sunday, with his wife and family, for Quebec, being appointed inspecting field officer in Canada, to inform me that he had been made prisoner by an American privateer.
