"iIfiCLAMATION. The nnprovoked declaration, of war by the United Statc's of America, against the United. Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and its, dependencies, -has been followed by ,the actual itivasi6n of this Province in a remote frontier of the,western districts, by detacinnera of the United .Stat OE= t niivanding.tln,tt 01iment .has -thought proper to :invite'his Ma jesty's subjects, not niOely to - quiet and, Imre sisting subs fission, but silts them with a call to seek voluntarily the protection of his'Goveimineut. Without condesceudin',; to rep ea t the illiberal epititets bestowed in this appeal of the American Commander to the people of Upper Canadty the administration of his iNialesty, eyery inhabi tant of the Province is desired to seen.the confu.. tation of such indecent slander in the review of -his own particular circumstances. Where is the Canadian subject Who cau truly .afiirm tJ himself that he has-been injured by the (iovernmentinhis -person, liia Foliate, or. his lib - ea ? Where is to.be found; in any part of the world, a growth so rapid 211 prosperity and_wealth as this colony , exhibits ? Sealed not thirty years by a band of _ . veterans, exiled from their former possessions on account of their loyalty, not a descendant of these `brave people is to 'be found; Who, Under the fos tering liberality of their Sovereign, itas' not ac quired a property and means , of enjoyment, .supe rior to what were possessed by their. antestors. , --:- This- unequalled prosperity would not have...been attained'-by the utmost liberality of the (loverv.7 ment, or the persevering inaustry Of the peopie, had not the maritime power of the mother country - . secured to, its colonists,a safe access to every . . k et w4ere,the produce of tPelr. labbur was is 're.7 quest, The unavoidable and imMediate COnSequence of a separation from Greatßritaill,, must be the ipss of this inestimable advantage,--sand what is offee ed to you in exchange ? ToE : eceme a territory: of the United States, and 'share with their that ex- , elusion from the ocean which the policy,of their Government 'enforces ; von' are not even' flattered with a participation Of their' bOasted independ ence ; and it is but too obvious; that once ex changed froth - the' powerful .profectiOn of the , - United Kingdom, yOu roust be re-annexed to the dominimi.of 's?rence, froM which .the provinces of Canada Were wrested ,by the a?Ms of Great Britain at a Vast - expence 'of blood - and treasure, 'feom.nis other motive than to.relieve her ungrateful chil dren. from the, oppression of a cruel neighbour ; • this restitution of 'Canada to the empire ofFrance, was the stipulated reward for the aid afforded to the revolted colonies, now the United States ; the debt is still due, and there can be,no doubt but the ,predge has been renewed as a consideration for commercial, advantages, or. rather for an expected relaxation in the tyranny of France over the Coin mercial world. Are pia' prepared,, inhabitants of, Canada, to become willing snbjectS, or rather slaves to the despot who rules the nation's of Europe with a rod of iron ? If not,, arise in a body, exert your energies, co-operate cordially_ with the. King's , regnlar .forces, tb repel the,invader, and do not g ive eau,c to your children, when grpaning under ,the oppression of a foreign Master; to reproach you with haling too easily parted 'with the. richt:St inheritance of this earthsa participatidn in the 'name, character, and freedom of Britain. The same spirit of justice which will 'mike every reasonable allowance for the unsuccessful efforts of zeal and loyalty, will not fail to punish the defalcation , of_ principle.. Every Canadian freeholder is by deliberate choice bound, by the most solemn oaths, to defend 'the Monarchy as Well as his own property ;, to shrink from that en gagement, is a treason not to be forgiven. 'Let no man suppose, that if in thiS unexpected struggle, his Majesty's arms should be compelled to yield to an . overwhelming force, that the pro vince will be eventually abandoned; the endeared relation of its first settlers, the intrinsic value of its commerce,, and the pretensions of its power ful rival to re-possess the Canadas, are pledges that no paee be established - between the United States and Great Britain and 'lreland, of which the restoration of these provinces does not make ;he most prominent condition. Be not dismayed at the unjustifiable threat ,of the CoMmander of the enemy's forces to refuse quarter, should an Indian appear 'in the ranks.-.'--- The brave bands of natives which inhabit ,this colony were, like his Majesty's SUbjects, punished for their .zeal and fidelity, by tire loss of theirposs sessions in the late coloniess• and :rewarded_ by .his Majesty with lands‘'of superior value i,u this pro vince. The faith of the British Government haa,, never yet been violated; ,they that Lhe sod flis',S; in herit is to theni and their posterity; protected from the base arts so trequentlydeviSed to ,Over-reaeh their:simplicity. , liskwhat new principle are-they to bp,. prohibited froth -defendigstheir property ? if their warfare, froth-being different to that of the, white people, is more terrific to the-enemy, let him retrace his steps-s-they Seek him. not; and cannot expect to find women, and children in an invading army.; hut they are men, and haveequal rights wit'h all other men to defend themselves 'and•their property when invaded—more especially when-they find in the enemy's camp a ferocious and mortal foe, using the same warfare which the American COminatider affects to reprobate. •. This inco.nsistent and unjustifiable threat of re fusing quarter; for such a cause.as being found iu arms with a brother sufferer, in defence of invaded rights, must be exercised with the certain assur ance of retaliation, not only in the limited opera tions of war on the part of the King's domi nions, but on every qoarter of the glohe‘, for the, national character .of - Britain is not less distill s guished for humanity than. retributive justice; _which will consider the execution of this threat as deliberate murder, for which every subj e ct of the offending power shall make expiation.

For the following masterly , delineation of the character, conduct, and labours, intellectual and. political, of this man, -Which is found'ednpon a lite raf hini; lately ; published, but' of which ,oni y a pass - ing notice is taken, we 'are indebted to Time Quar terly Reniew, ' • [Continued froni our Parer of Yesterday.] The Ishmael of literature and politics, his hand was against very man hand, and every man's handAvas against him. ` Oderint• duns me tuant' seems to have been his Mott - 9, and provided lie could excite surprise by, his paradoxes, and ,terror by his abuse, lie cared little.for public es teem, and looked to no mart:important - or more salutary effect. " His writings and speeches a.ie all composed in a most.confident accus2tory tone.. It is not enough for him to S;iiew that ins. adversaries ,were wrong, .but he is equally determined to prove that they Must be dishonest. .Dis Sent from his opinion was not mere intellectual weakness, but moral guilt.• No man ever more resoltitely threw away the scabbard in every attack. He seems', to have considered the present order of things as one in 'which he could find no proper Place,' and he there 'fore consoled himself by w\- - aging irreconcilable war against all those by whom it was upheld. He does not appear to have acted 'on any particular f:vstc7n,,or to have directed hls efforts towards any particular obiect. In tact, the occasions which allowed much active interference on his part: but seldom occurred., pOpular election, conducted with circumstances'of extreme party violence, or .2,F,t2ciety formed to alter-the Constitution or Con trout the Gverunient; Were hiS chief opportunities for distinction, and' upon these be seized with great eagerness, and availed-himself of theta With :great ability. Eutthese brilljant moment's soon passed ,away : tbe.election was decided i or the so ciety was suppressed, and be was condemned to pass through a long intervatof, quiet and obscu rity. , F r ' Oie of his e;arliest,.strongest, and most 'en duringfeelings, Was „antipathy to the House of Coalitions: But, like most other innovators, he seentB to have thought that there was no harm in taking advantage of the present system, so long as it taste , ' Old Sarum, that tanding insult to 'the :theory or representat.o, that, bye-word among reformers,lad the gingi.dar. honour of re turning the Rev. Mr. Tooke to Parliament, who toOk his. Seat _(apparently) without any scruples as -to t!ic number or 'quality of his constituents„; nor does his dislike to the present order of things . ap pear to have reached its utmost 'height till the doors of the House had been finally barred against. him by an act of the Legislature. . : " We ,are aware that this character we have been drawing, so far as we have hitherto prOceed, ed in the delineation; is not 'particularly calculated to 'excite affection or respect. Yet we own that we are much more inclined to regard thissWaste of his :gents, and this per Version of his feelings; with. regret and compassion, than with severity and anger. " There is nothing that has so unfavourable an effect upon the heart and understanding, nothing teat so completely sours the milk of human kind ness, as long disappointment and immovable ru straint. By a step taken so early in life,- that he was excusable at least if he did not at once per-. ceive all its consequences, he was debarred from the fair exercise of tbose talents with which he was most highly gifted, and cut off from the at tainment of those objects of which he was natu rally Most desirous. • We all know the vast share accident has in forming the greatest, the wisest, and most virtimus 7 men ; and we shall ;dot do jus tice to the character of Mr. Tooke, if we blame him for what he was, without considering what, tinder more propitious circumstances, he might have been. He was, as' we have already had occa sion for remark, the enemy of almost all the emi nent men of his tiriie. But if his fetters load been -struck off, if he had been suffered ,to come down into the arena, ti. - nd - contend with them upon equal terms, a malignant and- impotent hostility might have given place to manly emulation and general rivalry. Let;us not, however, be misunderstood as meaning to approve the conduct of those who, having once engaged in a profession in which the best faculties of man may be employed to - the best purpose,. instead of bending their minds to the, accomplishment of its important dnties,. waste their days in unbecoming endeavours to ..mix in struggles which they ought to, shun., and in una vailing aspirations _after a greatness' which .they have, renounced. • " . have only ventured to offer an fect excuse arising from the. general weakness of the huMan•character, and to plead, as it. were, in mitigation of that heavy censiir. which must at any rate fall upon talents idly wastod or Mischie vously applied. "Remarkable howtver as those talents were, we do' trot think they were cf the. first :order. In fa vimrable situations he might have been more emi neat, and would undoubtedly. have been more useful ; but under no circumstances' could he, have really been a great in-an. Promptitude, acuteness, and Y activity, not .grandeur and apprehensions, were the charaCteristics of his mind. All . its ,operationS , were confined to a narrow sphere. What lie saw, he saw clearly, but yisicin did -not extent far. Wholly occupied in the. s'quabblu of 'the day, and anxious about the. petty point which it Was his immediate desire to carry, he seems to have preserved no just seas 'e of _the lative magnitude of objects, and behaved as if the fate of mankind had depended upon :the event of the Middlesex or Westminster election. " A iew questions of merely 51oniestic and na tional.policy (-none of them except. parliamentary trefornl, of. much importance) Seem to have en grossed all his attention.' In the treatment of them he' always displayS -infinite subtlety and in genuity, • ails' often a great deal of wit ; but his• chief merit after all, seems to have consisted not so much in the choice and. temper of his weapons, 'as in the deterity with which he handles them. His topics . and arguments were the topics and ar guments of an ordinary man, only stated with ruorevaddress and urged with more earnestness and 11' I i .~ (~ 3 force/ but ti - ot - di awn (like thoSe o friiin - the inexhaustible stores of _an exuberant, cleVftted; and comprehensive. mind. Hi: - ystrengl - li lay in "the argtillenhlnt ad hominent and in a sort . &ingenious speciA pleading upon de tails. In these he delighted to dwell, and stewed .no .desire to escape. from them to More general and impart'ant sp:ecniat t ion. Hewas,better pleas ed in the detection of error than in the investiga, tiort of truth ; more .an:k-lous to confute and. an_adversary than to' establish any doctrines of his own. His speeches and political writings,. those at least dint are known to be his, are few and inconsiderable. It is to the nanie .of the writer alone that they are indebted for having survived, the Occasians that gave them, birth ; 'and we should search them.in: vain for any truces of that sublime eloquence and profound wisdom which .adorn the Works. of: the author of - the 11eflexions: . If we were to pursue any farther . comvarison which, perhaps, it is hardly fair to institute, we should " say, that while it was the .tendency of Mr. Burke's mind to give dignity and interest even-ta matters of a secondary and fagitiVe kind, by trea'vg theta in reference to general principles and' i e int - portant subjects, it was itilr. Tooke!s. disposition • rather to narrow the• ground, and to &scot I to that . which was temporary and .personal;„ even-when engaged in the coniiderationofones . tions, which it was natural to treat upon'a - More enlarged scale.
