Officers of Battalions in the, DistriAs of QU(;bec, "Nlontreal, and Three-Rivers, a detailed Report of the spirit nt r i disposition manifested by their respeaive Corps, feels, it incumbent on him, in the most pub lic manner, to express his perfect . approbition of Abe conduct of the whole of the ;Nlilitia on the pre sent occasion ; with the exception only of some few individuals, who by their ill condua have rendered themselves contemptible in the opinion of their fel low-subjf The -President also feels himself justified in as r shert,ing, thin a more ardent devotion to his.Majestysi Person and Government has never been witness d. in any part of the British Dominions and it' is !Mae tictdatly to , be remarked, that, the idea of defending . theirown families and their own property, has ap pftte,l in a manner to have been absorbed in the raibds of all descriptions of Subjeas in this Pro vince, by the more general sentiment of coming for ward in,the Cause of it justly beloved Sovereign, and in stfpport Of a Form of Government .whi s ch hasp . been proved by experience to be the: bust; caleniated for promoting the Happiness and securing the Li berties of Mankind. Time Adjiitant t General has it in command, to make known to the Oilicers, Non-commissioned Otrfrers and Privates of the Militia, the President's warmest approbation al their condud ; and t'or this Purpose be will transmit a Copy of ale present Getwral Or der to the several Cotnmanding Otlicers, who will cause the same to be•publicly read to heir re,petlive C,orps.

The subject was under discus sion for upwards of an hour, but was at length tenni nalediby a,Geutletnan, who observed, that Ministers had already given every necessary attention to the, subject, and had granted every reasonable indulgence to the American Merchants; that he considered the measure resorted to highly necessary at the present crisis, and. solicited the Chair Man to. decide the (06- tion by a shew of hands. The question was put, and negatived ; only one solitary band being held up for it.
