 By the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald, we are put in possession of intelligence from Detroit to the 18th inst. That city is in high state of excitement, and has been the theatre of stirring events.

 British troops are concentrating at Am- herstburg, and the Detroit Advertiser esti. mates the Royalits under arms on the West crn frontier at 1000 or 1900 strong. Large and spirited meetings have been held in De. troit on the subject of the Canadian difficult. ties.

 The Advertiser of the 10th says, a heavy cannonading was heard in the direction of Maiden on the night of the 9th, between l2 and 2 o'clock. We have no time for detuils. The latest and most important news is ap. pended.

 From the Detroit Free Press, Jun. TO- By authentic information, which was re- ceived here yesterday from Maiden, the fact is placed beyond doubt, that the patriots have taken possession of Whitewood Island, be- longing to the British. On Monday evening an armed schooner in possession of tho pat. riots sailed along up in front of Maiden.

 About three o'clock yesterday morning a large body of men on their way to the seat of war, seized upon the steamboat Brady in our port, but by the spirit and energy of our civ. Il authorities, she was retaken, after slight skirmish, and the men on board of her dis persed.

 Since the above was in type, we are in. formed that two of the patriots were slightly wounded during the engagement at Maiden, tn which several of the royalists were killed as above stated.
