Lower Canada.-At St. Eustache, about 60 houses were burnt, during or immediately consequent upon the visit of the British troops. Among them was the fine mansion of the Seigneur Dumont, and also that of Belanger on the Grand Cote.

The village of St. Benoit was almost totally destroyed by the same element.

The Montreal Transcript, speaking of the expedition against these places, says it has "crushed the rebellion, and saved the colony."

Some of the most active instigators have, as yet, escaped. The greater part, however, of those who, from their capability of judging, are unpardonable in their crimes, have fallen in the hands of the government, and probably of stern justice. Gagnon was already dead—of the rest who crowded our prison, even before the expedition to St. Eustache, we have already published the names. Since the march of the troops on Wednesday last, we have Dr. Chenier killed—we have Dumouchel a prisoner, a man who from his activity, and his relentless hatred of every thing British, has (with the exception of Papineau himself and two others) done more than any other in Canada to foment rebellion, and excite the ignorant to arms—we have A. B. Papineau, a nephew of the Speaker and M. P. for Terrebonne, killed—a Lorimer killed—J. F. Labrie, the son of the late Dr. Labrie, whose lucubrations on Canada elicited a vote of 500 pounds from the Assembly, that it might be spent in treason, killed—we have Hubert the advocate, killed—we have Fereol Pelletier, another advocate, a prisoner—we have the notorious Louis Coursolles, from the Cote of Terrebonne, brought in yesterday, a prisoner—we have the rebel force returned to their homes.

Viewing all these actual facts, we estimate their effect to be the virtual extinction of the revolution.
