THE EARL OF CARNARVONasked the noble Earl the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Government have any further information to give the House with regard to the insurrection in Canada?
§ THE EARL OF DERBYI telegraphed yesterday to Lord Lansdowne to know what information he could supply, and I have his answer. He says that there has been no battle since that of Friday, of which we have already received the details. A telegram received at Ottawa confirms the reports as to the severity of the action, and puts the number of casualties rather higher than has been stated in the first accounts. The rebels had disappeared, but General Middleton's advance had been delayed by the care of the wounded and the want of supplies. He intends to push on as soon and as fast as possible. That is all the information I have.
