OUTRAGE ON THE FRoNTIER.-By siip from the office of the U s. Gazette, (Phila.) we learn that transaction took place at Aburgh, Vt on the night oftle 18th, which has produced an unparalleled excitement the frontier. James Grogsn, who form ery resided in Canada, but natural born citizen of the United States while returning from Michigan to Alburgh, was captured by detachment of British dragoons, under Capt. Jones. Grogsn was sleeping at the house of his brother-n naw-the soldiers sur rounded the house, forced it open and entered Gro gans bedroom, who defended himself against his as- sailans until severely wounded in the legs and thighs by bayonets. His face was literally layed, and h s clothes torn of. He wrapped ia buffalo robe thrown into wagon, carried across the lines and sent to Montreal in irons.-When this affair became known at St. Albans, public meeting held, and Il committee was appointed to examine into the trans actions, and report at subsequent meeting to be hed

 The correspondent of the New York American, writing from Niagara Falls, says that since the re- moval of the United States army from Buffalo, at tempts being made by the "Patriots'' to embroil the two countries in war. The recent attempt to blow up two of Her Majesty's steamboats, lying at anchor in the Niagara river. at Chippewa is atribu- ted to Lett, the ncendiary who boasted to Gov Sew ard of his attempt to produce mischief.

 President Tyler has issued proclamation admo- nishing all the citizens the frontier from partic- pang in any of the meeting or other conduct tending to interrupt the peace and harmony of the two countries.
