A dutiful and loyal Address from his Majesty's faithful and attached subjects 'of the Ptnvinee Upper Canada has been lately, we understand, transmitted hither to their countryman, J.

JECTS-L-Since the influente of French intrigue hat predominated in the Councils of Washiagton; and the darling object of Mr. Madison's wishes.have been gratified by inducing the Senate to a Decla ration of War against our beloved Mother Coun try, it becomes the duty of every well-wisher to his King, and to the Canadas in narticular, to prepare himself for the dreadful coutest in which , in all probability, we may be very shortly en gaged, and to' make every preparation to frustrate the objects of cur enemies. it is needless to call' to your minds the valour ()flour ancestors,•or the prize for which you will contend.: Already have the arades - of the United States pollutedthe stream which divides their country from the territory of British' North America; already we behold their banners waving in an hostile manner on our in •vaded coast ; already have their armies attempted the conquest of our forts ; at this moment, our fellowi,subjects are nobly contending against those .wko have, without a cause, unfurled the standard .of war, and unsheathed the sword against a people who never injured them. " Prepare yourselves, my beloved fellow sab• jects, to brave the utmost perils of a sanguinary war, and be not appalled by the numbers which .may assail you, but let every man with cheerfaU. pess disregard the fatigues and inconveniences 'which are. unavoidable in a contest in which you .are contending for every thing dear to you and to .your . posterity. Be resolved to undergo the se verest deprivations rather than zathmit to the dic tates. of an unprincipled soldiery. Those 1/1111.1CS which are .l e d ag ainst you are at composition of the veriest dregs' of the people, made up of disaffected str anger's from a foreign land, where their crimes have been t h e : cause of their emigration, and a few unprincipled men amongst themselves, whose only object is plunder, whose ,only- desire is .to wrest from you those lands which matey of you have obtained as a remuneration for your steady attachment to the British Government - and loyal- ty to your beloved tiovereign.' There cannot be the least doubt but by a hearty and determined nelTosition• you mast beenine conquerors, awl drive. frqlri your shores back to their own, the in vaders of your country.—Rid yourselves of such miserable and despicable took, sw:uring the hap , - piness of your families, and the future peace of your several districts, determined either to con quer or die in the struggle. • It is far better to lie peaceably in the grave, than to be,the slave of a foreign despot.

Quebec, Aug. 11, 1812. - J. M. J. General lore, accompanied by Mr;KAY, the Messenger, has left town for Yarmouth. It has been discovered within these few days, that forgeries to an immense extent have lately been committed . by an individual. The person charged with them is a' man of considerable note in the mercantile world, being Mr. P—, a mer chant, of Devonshire-square, who is accused' of having forged upon a house in the City, to the amount of (30,0001. ; On a lottery-office keeper fur 20,0001. ; and in the whole, in bilk of ex change, drafts, 8:e. to the ainount of 100,0001. — The discovery , was made on Saturday last, when a meeting took place between Mr.l ) : and the p ar ties forted upon and a turther meeting was proposed for the Monday following. At the ap pointed time, however, he did not attend, and on an inquiry being made . after him, it was ascer tained, that on t 4 ,aturday he went oh to hisicountry house ut Whetstone, which place he left ag,aM On Sunday, and came •to London.

The :Lottri CHANCELLOR this morning, deliver ed his judgment in this long depending -- His took a succinct review of all the.eir cumstauces which bad given rise to .the claims of Mr. Lowten, and the securities granted •by the• Corporation for the due discharge of those clims. ,—The . question principally considered in the cupric of the cause had been, whether the'chargeS of Mr. LoWten for business done, and money ex- pended, bad been tor purposes 'which ,could be deemed corporate purposes. His Lordship thought that qu4tion sufficiently doubtful to justify the Select body of the Corporation in submitting the whole matter, to reference. The charter bad au thorised the select body to act for the benefit of the Corporation. The select body, with a view to the interests of the Corporation, had' submit ted the whole subject to arbitration. They had, adopted every necessary.means for bringing the matter fully before the arbitrators, and the arbi trators, after a complete investigation, had de cided in favour of Mr. LoWtels.—An award so submitted, his Lordship was,of opinion, he . ought ...not to disturb. With regard to, the costs of the issues tried at law, he considerS Mr. Lowten in .titled to have them paid by the Corporation ; and. his Lordship was further of opinion„that a Bill which imputed fraud to Mr. Lowten, was of a .:character which called upon him to mark his sense of it, by dissmissing it with costs. The Bill was accordingly dismissed with costs. COURT .OF KING'S Timm, lAN. C.O. 5)11:111 V. XV001). This was an action brought by plaintiff, who was a surgeon and apothecary, against the defen dant, a boot and shoe-maker, both of the parish of 'St. Luke's, for publishing a caricature, re fleeting on the plaintiff's moral character. Mr.ySerjeant litsT, for plaintiff, stated, that this was an action for a most malignant and, scan &lons libel. He was sorry to say that libels of 'all sorts Were,much too common ; but of all li bels, thoie of the description under consideration Were the 'Worst. If written libels were false, you might provc them so ; if founded on false reason.: lug, you might convince the world that such was the tase ; but to a false caricature, the purest character, the greatest innocence, afforded no de fence. The plaintiff did not go for damages .; lie had always been willing to accept of an apo logy, but that being declined, he was compelled to appeal to his Lordship and the Jury ; he. had sustained. material injury, both ,in his character and profession. The Learned Serjeant then stated; there had been great abuses in the conduct of the affairs of St. Luke's parish,, which plaintiff bed been instrumental in remedying; and several. Of the old officers, were removed ; that plaintiff was appointed one of the Guardians of-the Poor., To these, circumstances was attributed the hatred shown. towards plaintiff, which it' was thought , irtOitsafelylie.gratified by the NW and ma :Humus caricature, The hint arose from the fol lowing circumstance: ten quarters of malt were ordetell for the Poor•bouse, and at the same time plaintiff ordered two quarters of the sante kind for ; himself and defendant, but by mistake, the twelve quarters were all sent to the poor-house, arid plain tiff afterwards got the two quarters, and sent them as at firSt intended. In consequence of this, a re port Was circulated that plaintiff had embezzled some of the malt belonging to the poor ; on this, plaintiff had his conduct, in this instance examin ed into„ in the vestry, and' the' conduct of both plaintiff and defendant, was fully cleared from any imputation of fount. The learned Serjeant stated, that the title of the caricature, was " the Inside of a newly refortnedWorkhouse,with all the Abuses Ike formed ;" and then commented at some length on the different figures in it, particularly on that of a rat with a human face,' nibbling a sack of malt, under which Doctor" was written, and which he could prove, by defendant himself, was intend ed for the plaintiff; there was also a figure in:- titled, " Doctor Malt," With a pillory behind hint, 7 which defendant had 'also stated to be intended for plaintiff. Tharthis was a libel of a very duo gerous nature, 'attributing misconduct of the grossest kind .to plaintiff', the Learned Serjeant sa,A, could not be.aoubted ; but loot particularly at those tituesoyhen the poor were labouring under very great distress ; and that .as the punishment of the plaintiff, were he guilty of such offence, ought to be , most exemplary, -,0, it innocent, no damages could be sufficient for stated, such t) malignity. -( It was not in his power, prove that. defendant bad ac tually paid for the publishing; but he could prove that he had been activs iin explaininl„; and .eircu .l Laing ; and this `he contended, was sufficient.— . Several-witnesses were called, but they all agreed in stating, that tielentittot only expluined the caricature, in -which he held a prominent situa tion himself, anditliat he did not appear to have any inaliciOw not ire. Lord r.E.1.E1,41W1t UG IT, On the Counsel for • plin th stating that they could not carry it fartheri. said, that though it was a most cruel injury, they must carry it farther, and spew inal t ice, lig it wotiltl be too mach to visit, defendant in damages, who did, not applaar to have any malichilts motive.— Nonsuit, WARNER V.
