General orders were issued at Quebec on the 23rd
ult. by the commander-in-chief, naming the three
battalions called out. Lord Honk accompanies
the names with the following general orders :
In calling out for actual senate this portion of the vo-
lunteer force, the commander.inohief desires to express the
gratification he has experienced at the numerous offers of
service he has received from volunteer oompanies all
through the pro►ince as soon as it became known that maw
were required for permanent duty. The commander-inahief
desire, to Impress upon the officers, non-commissioned offi-
cers, and men of the force celled out for duty, that they are
embodied not for the purpose of warfare, but with the
object of aiding the civil power in its efforts to prevent
' aggressions on the territories of a friendly state on the
part of permed enjoying the right of asylum in her
Majesty's dominions, and to maintain, as regards Goads,
that complete neutrality with respect to the war DOW
existing in the United States which her Majesty bas
eejoined on all her subjects. With these objects in view,
it will be the duty of all °Moors commanding detachments
on the frontier to take special care that the territorial
rights of the government of the United States shall be
carefully respected, and that no infringement by the men
under their command shall under any circumstances take
. .

place of web regulations for the security of their borders
as may be made from time to time by that government.
It will be the duty of officers, sbould suspicions circum-
MILIIOOII be brought under time observation immediately, to
report any such to the civil authorities, and to place them.
Willa under their guidance.

The following memorial with respect to the St.
Albans raiders has been presented to the Governor-
General :

Montreal, Dee. 20, 1864.
To his Exeslisecy the Right HooonrabLe Charles Stanley
Vieconat Mona, Goternor•Gsseral of British North

America, kc. :
The memorial of the undersigned inhabitants of the city
of Montreal humbly ahoweth, that while Canal& has
hitherto preserved a strict neutrality with respect to the
unhappy strife now prevailing in the United States, your
excellency's memorialists feel that the airtime/am which
have recently taken place all for iscreemdlMO. on the
part of the government and all subordinate authorities to
see that such neutrality is effectually and honestly main•
Mined. .

That your mammialists confider that while political re-
fugees residing in Canada are entitled to protection, it Is
the duty of such persons scrupulously to respect the neu-
trality proclaimed by her Majesty, and to abstain from
making or furthering any acts of aggression upon the soil of
• friendly power.
That your excellency's memorialists also consider that
say persons who oommit sots of violenoe apes the borders
of the neighbouring States solely in ociimegnenos of the
immunity which they expect to enjoy upon their escape
hero—acts which would never be attempted but for the
facilities for flight which the proximity of our soil affords—
abuse the right of asylum and violate the duty of neutrality
enjoined upon all persons residing within the dominions of
her Majesty.
That your memorialists deeply deplore the circumstance*

- . .
ander which the persona lately in custody upon charges of
robbery and murder at St. Albans were released, and also
the manner in which the money entrusted to our authorities
was restored to the prisoners, and feel that the result of
the recent proardinge has been such as to cast double upon
oar good faith in carrying out our treaty obligations.
That while it would be improper to prejudge the officers
concerned in the release of the St. Alba= prisoners and
the restoration of the money, your ezeelleoey's memorial-
iota consider it due to the interest of justice and the good
name of this province that the most searching inquiry into
the conduct of the judge charged with the investigation
under the treaty, and the officer by him entrusted with the
money, be had without delay, and that speedy justice be
done in the prank's.'
Your &radiancy's memorialists therefore most earnestly
pray that your excellency will be pleased to order an imme-
diate inveetigatioa into the conduct of all the officials con-
parted with the discharge of the persona above referred to,
Gad the surrender of the money to them, and that your
excellency will be pleased to take such further measures as
may be required effectually to prevent any parties from
violating the neutrality declared by her Majesty, and from
endeavouring to interrupt the good feeling and friendly
relationship which your memorialists trust may always ocie-
thine to exist between Canada and the United States.

Five of the St. Albans raiders have been reocap-
tared. The Montreal 'Jerald of the 24th says :
Tbe recaptured five of the raiders discharged from cus-
tody by the decision of Mr. Judge Conceal, which for •
day or two was involved in doubt, and is the case of those
captured at Riviera du Loup denied, was yesterday
set beyond conjecture by the appearance of the five
as primacies before Mr. Judge Smith in chunber•
We have gathered from various sources the par-
tinders attendiug the smut of the raiders. The
names of those captured are Bennett H. Youog, their
leader, William H. Htitchiairoo, Squire Turner Tear*
Marcus Spurr, sad Charles floors Seeger, and the person
who was arrested in Quebec, we believe at the same time
with Spurr and Swager, who gave his name as Joseph But-
terworth. He denied having been engaged in the St.
Albans raid, but at the same time said he wee a Ken-
tuckian and an officer in the Confederate service, on his
way to Halifax. Spurr, Swam, and Butterworth were
arrested is Quebec by the chief of police of that eity,
Mr. Bureau, and Detective De Bass. They were set
armed, nor was there anything specially articulated to excite
suspicion found on their persoos. They were held until Mr.
Pape', the gaoler, reached Quebec from this city, he having
gone there with a view to identify them. On Wednesday
he arrived in Quebec, and at saes recognised Spurr and
Seeger as two of the 14 discharged raiders; bet Butter-
worth, he testified. was not one of those 14. They were
brought to this city on Thursday night in the custody of
Chief of Police Bureau, of Quebec, and takes to gaol at
once. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the primmer; were
brought before Mr. Judge Smith in chambers, it being on
I his warrant that they were crested. Mears. F. C. Johnson,
I Q.C.. T. W. Ritchie, and B. Devlin were present on behalf
i of the prosecution, sod Meows. Abbott sad Kerr for the
defence. The counsel for the prosecution applied for an ad-
journment of the case until Tuesday, in order to notify the
witnesses. Mr. Kerr moved for the discharge of the pri-
soner Butterworth, on the period that he bad net been
identified as one of the maws ; but Judge Smith said he
would entertain no 'enticed«) whatever on behalf of the
primmus until Tuesday, until which day they would be
