BENJAMIN DAWSON'S LOZENGES.
THESE celebrated Lozenges, for the cure of
Coughs, Hoarseness, Sore Throats, and for removing the
tickling sensation which often accompanies Colds, and to mitigate the
vehemence of coughing, still maintain the highest reputation. They are
an elegant and safe composition, and peculiarly pleasant to the taste, and
may be freely taken by versons of all ages and at all times.
Messrs. Dawson and Watlock request the public to observe, that unless
the name " Benjamin Dawson, Bath," is engraved on the stamp which
accompanies each Box, the Lozenges are not genuine; it is the more
necessary to observe this caution, as many persons substitute an article
salted Bath Lozenges, which is far inferior in quality to the genuine.

undertaking, the work of many months, is at length opened,
we understand, at both ends. It is about three quarters of
a mile in length, and in some places nearly thirty yards

TORONTO, FRIDAY,
.00T. 26.
The Official Gazette,bearing date yesterday, having only
been issued this forenoon, we were unable to convey to our
readers in yesterday's Colonist the contents of the Procla-
mations which this Gazette contains.
We therefore issue this Extra.
The Gazette contains five Proclamations by her Majesty,
bearing date 22d instant. The first declares, that all her
Majesty's " Subjects who have not been indicted for any
Treason, Misprison of Treason, or Treasonable offence,
or who are not now in custody, charged or liable
to be charged with Treason, invasion, or hostile in-
cursion into this Province, or who being charged with
ither of the -said offerices,—have -made their escape from
any of our gaols, or other place of confinement, that
they may return to their homes, and that no prosecution
for or on account of any offence by them done or com-
mitted, and in any way relating to or connected with the
said revolt, shall be instituted or continued."
The second Proclamation declares " that John Rolph,
William Lyon Mackenzie, Silas Fletcher, Jacob
Rymal, Richard Graham, Jeremiah Graham, John
Mantack, Joseph Borden, Joshua Winn, David
Gibson, Landon Wurtz, James Marshal, Alum Narr,
Joseph Clarkson, Dudley Wilcox, Edmond Quirk, Thos.
Brown, Levi Parsons, Jesse Lloyd, Aaron Munshaw,
Henry Stiles, William Fletcher, Daniel Fletcher, David
M'Carty, Seth M'Carty, Nelson Gorham, Alexander
M'Leod, Cornelius Wills, and Erastus Clark," against
whom indictments for high treason were found by a
Grand Jury for the Home District of this Province
and warrants in due form of law were issued, com-
manding the Sheriff of the Home District to take the
above named persons before. the Justices of the Court of
Oyer and Terminer and G►ol delivery, to answer respec-
tively to the said Irudietments ; that the Sheriff made re-
turn to the Justices that the above named persons were
not to be found within his district, and that he could not
have their bodies to answer to the said Indictments.
This Proclamation concludes, by calling on all and each
of the above named persons to surrender themselves "to
the custody of our Sheriff of the Home District of our
said Province, by the Ist day of February next ensuing the
first publication of this our Proclamation in the said Upper
Canada Gazette, and submit to justice, hereby declaring
and making known to you, and each of you, that in de-
fault of ycur so surrendering, you, and each of you, shall
soft', r and forfeit as persons attainted of the crime of high
treason, by the laws of our said province ought to suffer
and forfeit."
The third, fourth, and fifth proclamations are in similar
terms with the second, but applying to different persons.

The Gazette among others, contains an order for the
formation of four battalions of Incorporated Militia, under
the respective commands of
Colonel Sir A. M'Mab, to Hamilton.
Colonel K. Cameron. to London.
Colonel William Kingsmill, to Niagara.
Colonel Joseph Hill, to Toronto.

MOST IMPORTANT GENERAL ORDER.
Adjutant-General's Office, Toronto, Oct. 23, 1838.
MILITIA GENERAL ORDER.
His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has received
certain information that en extensive conspiracy has been
formed, by numerous unprincipled and rapacious inhabi-
taws of the neighbouring friendly States, with a view to
force upon this Province the domination of the said conspi-
rators, and to visit the loyal inhabitants of this Province
with lawless war, plunder, and devastation.
The Lieutenant-Governor, in anticipation of an ade-
quate exhibition of force and activity on the part of the
Government of the United States, who continue to declare
a most friendly disposition towards Great Britain, has for-
borne to call upon the loyal inhabitants of Upper Canada,
to prepare to defend in arms their institutions, their families,
and their homes ; but the Lieutenant-Governor now con-
ceives that the time is come when it would he unjust to her
Majesty's loyal people to risk the consequences of a failure on
the part of the most friendly foreign Government to preserve
peaceable relations towards these Colonies ; and therefore, for
the purpose of preventing the apprehensions which might
naturally arise amongst a peaceable population, in the vici-
nity of a rapacious enemy, the Lieutenant-Governor is in-
duced to call out once more a portion of the gallant Militia
of Upper Canada, as Volunteer Force, in the full confidence
and certainty that the wicked and lawless designs of the
public enemy will la: nefit by a corresponding exhibition of
the loyal and gallant feeling which has always distinguished
Upper Canada, when engaged in regular war, as well as
when threatened with aggression from pirates and brigands.
The Lieutenant Governor will therefore forthwith issue
orders to some distinguished officers, to call out a portion
of the Militia of the province.
The Lieutenant-Governor assures the loyal inhabitants
of the province, that he is in full possession of the designs
of the enemy, who have nominally amongst them many
who have not forgotten their allegiance to her Majesty., or
their duty to their Canadian brethren, and only appear in
the ranks of the Brigands at present, to save themselves
from insult and N iolence.
By Command of his Excellency,
Sir GEORGE ARTIIUR.

Adjutant General Militia.

ARIEY AND NAVY.—Her Majesty's steam-ship Medea'
arrived at Quebec on Saturday evening, having the freight
ship Prince George in tow, from Halifax and Pictou, with
a part of the 93d Highlanders on board, who arrived in
Montreal yesterday morning in the John Bull. The de-
tachment consists of eight officers and 3.50 men. Her Ma
jesty's ship Andromache, arrived at Quebec on Mond iy
morning from Pictou, with the remainder of the 93d
Regiment excepting one company, which still remains
behind at Sydney. Tie 36th Regiment is expected to ar
rive at Halifax, in the course of next month, from Barba-
does. The transport Horatio arrived at Quebec on Satur-
day morning, having on board thirty thousand stand of
arms and accoutrements, besides other Government stores.
On Friday the 19th ult., her Majesty's ship Malabar
grounded off Cape Bear (Prince Edward's Island),
and was with difficulty got off next day, after
throwing her lower guns overboard, just before a tre-
mendous gale from the south-east set in, which
would have occasioned her total hiss had she not floated off
in time. She is damaged considerably in her falie keel
and rudder, making about five inches of water per hour.
The Medea left her on the 24th ultimo, on her way to Hali-
fax, where she will repair damages as far as possible and pro-
ceed to England. She had two pilots on board when she
grounded, and was running at the rate of seven knots per
hour, with the wind on her quarter when she struck..
The Medea was getting her steam up when the John Bull
left Quebec, and was under orders to proceed to Sydney
for the remaining company of the 93d Regiment. On her
return she will sail for England, and the officers expect
that they will again be in the St. Lawrence next spring.
The detachment of the 93d Regiment which arrived
yesterday, proceeded to Upper Canada, and, it is under-
stood that Kingston will be the head-quarters, and a
portion stationed at Toronto. Had not the 93d arrived,
the 71st Regiment was under orders to proceed
upwards. The 73d Regiment left town, for St. John's yes-
terday, as some warm work is expected in that quarterbefore
long. Among military men the opinion gains ground that
we are on the eve of a war with the United States, and no
fewer than twelve regiments of the line are expected before
the close of the navigation.
(From the Troy Daily Whig, November 7.)
It appears from the following letter received from Platts-
burg this morning by the Mayor of the city, that there has
been another rising among the Patriots in Canada. Its
statements are, at best, mere rumours, and must be taken
with great allowance :

" PLATTSBURGH, Nov. 5, 1838.
" Hon. J. C. Heartt.—Sir : Last night there was a gene-
ral rising among the Patriots in Canada. In the city of
Quebec, Theller and Dodd had 2,500 armed men, at Mon-
treal, '2,000 men commanded by French officers. Dr. Nelson
entered Canada by Napperill, and swept every thing—took
all the loyal volunteers prisoners, and got 800 stand of arms
deposited there for loyalists. Dr. Nelson left Napperili
last night at 12 o'clock, with 1,500 men, to march upon St.
John's, at which place he was to be joined by 1,000 men
from the parish east of St. John's_ The town was to be
burned at day-break this morning (Nov, 5). All commu-

We have no later papers from Lower Canada ; but
Kini:ston, Upper Canada, Papers have reached us of the
7th tnstant, at which time all was quiet in that province,
though the Government was taking measures to meet any
erncr;essey which might arise, amongst which may be cited
tige.ktlikease of its naval force pn
,the jakry It will be seen
by the order which we copy below, nasal
officers resident in Canada, and desirous of serving in the
provincial marine, have been called upon by the Commodore
to acquaint him with their intention.
We are happy to see that the United States' officers and
troops are also on the alert to preserve oar neutrality.
The letter from our correspondent at Whitehall gives
the details of another skirmish which has taken place near
o.lletown. It is remarkable as showing that the people
themselves are opposed to the views of the invaders, the
latter having been twice attacked by the militia of the dis-
trict, acting without any regular troops. These, however,
are now on the scene of action, and will, it is probable, at
once put an end to the inroads made on our neighbours.
(Correspondence of the Courier and Inquirer.)
" WHITEHALL, Nov. 10.
" Sir,—ln my last I gave you the news of a skirmish
which took place on Wednesday last. I have now to com
municate some particulars of a conflict of a more serious
nature on the following day.
" It would appear that Wednesday's affair gave the in-
surgents in Odletown end L'Ecole the alarm, and they
accordingly mustered in great numbers. The loyalists of
the same districts, who were also on the qui vice and some-
what elated, immediately put themselves in readiness. The
collision took place near the main road, ten miles north-
west of Champlain (lake) village, and within six miles of
Napierville. A fire of small arms was commenced and
supported for the space of an hour and a-half, when, the
powder becoming wet from the incessant rain, a
short and desultory conflict at close quarters en-
ued, which resulted in the Royalists being driven
from the field. The lowest estimate is thirty killed
and wounded on both sides, and from what I have been
able to ascertain there was something under 200 loyalists
(all volunteers, and principally inhabitants of the districts)
and from 300 to 400 of the Patriots engaged. The latter
were continually joined by numbers during the fight, so that
they had many more men at the close than at the begin-
ning of the contest.

" Captain Sherman brought over 400 regulars from St.
John's yesterday, and landed them at the Isle aux Noix,
whence they were to march into the disaffected district this
morning. You may in consequence expect to hear from me,
in a day or two, of more bloody work going forward. I saw
the soi-disant General Van Rensselaer this morning. He
proceeded north by the steam-boat at one o'clock.—Yours,
&c."

The Government naval force on the lakes has been in-
creased to four steam-boats, four schooners, and a number
of gun-boats. Captains Drew and Graham, and Lieute-
nants Harper and Clarke, have been called into the service ;
and we copy the following notice from the official Gazette,
for the benefit of all concerned :

" All naval officers, or officers lately in the service of the
East India Company, resident in the province of Upper
Canada, desirous of serving in the provincial marine, will be
pleased to make their intentions known to me by letter,
stating their respective ranks, and the naval officers the
dates of their commissions.

.those who had no muskets were armed with long spears
or pikes. They left St. Ours on Saturday afternoon, with
the intention of taking Sorel by surprise, and hoping to en-
list every man on their way down. Thinking discretion the
better part of valour, they proceeded no further than St.
Denis, from which they returned on Sunday afternoon in
bands of 10 and 20, many of whom were swearing that
they would go home and never fight again, while others
said that they were ordered to await reinforcements.
We have been informed on the most undoubted autho-
rity that the brave Glengarry Highlanders, under Colonels
M'Donald and Frazer, have commenced a march on
Beauharnois and Chateauguay Bridge, for the purpose of
rescuing their unfortunate fellow-countrymen who have
fallen into the hands of the rebels. Colonel Frazer's regi-
ment being nearest the point of attack, will likely reach it
sooner than Colonel bl‘Donald's, but both are animated
with the same determined spirit, and terrible will be the
retribution. The men are determined on revenge,
and it
is well known what stuff Highlanders are composed of when
their blood is up.
The Burlington Free Press states that the steam-beats
will continue their trips to St. John's, as usual, unless some
new feature presents itself. The boats have thus far pre-
served a strict neutrality, and it is to he presumed that
neither party will find it for their interest, or be disposed, to
molest them.

(From the Montreal Herald, Nov. 8.)
We were glad to learn on Tuesday that Sir John Col-
borne and his Special Council had passed an ordinance for
the purpose of authorising the Montreal, City, and British
North American Banks in this city to suspend specie pay-
ments on account of the run which has been made on
them, for some days past, by the Canadians. who have
resorted to this measure at the instigation of their leaders
for the purpose of procuring specie to enable them to
continue the rebellion, W 9 are glad to learn, also, that

the Bank du Peuple has not been included in the Or-
dinance, and it is the duty of every loyal subject, who has
one of its blue bank-notes, to lose no time in getting
silver in its stead. Its President, L. M. Viger, who
was in prison all last winter on a charge of high treason,
is again arrested on suspicion of the same crime. Denis
Benjamin Viger, another of that unhanged family, and a
principal partner in the bank, is also in custody, al-
though he managed by singular adroitness last year to
keep within the pale of the law ; T. S. Brown, the
original planner, and one of the original directors of the
bank, is in the United States, and was until Lord Dur-
ham's last proclamation was issued a proscribed rebel.
Desrivieres, a clerk in the bank, was banished to Ber-
muda for high treason. The characters of all con-
nected with or supporting it are of a similar stamp, and
it is strongly suspected that it was originally established
with the object of obtaining funds for a rebellion
with facility. Besides, it does not publish statements of
its affairs, as other banks do, and consequently it is
impossible for any person to know that it is solvent. The
Board of Trade, and various newspaper correspondents,com-
plained that the Union Bank had not shown a statement
of its funds, and the public was warned against taking its
notes, but we think they ought to do scmething of a similar
nature with the People's Bank also for various reasons.
Its Directors have apparently encouraged a run on the other
banks by the habitans ; both they and the stockholders and
supporters are either avowed or suspected rebels, and every-
thiiirslbuid be done which ttifirat, the pseszeterisitirippl
their exertions or limit their resources for working mischief;
and last, the public ought not to encourage a bank upon
whose ability to meet their notes they cannot depend.
Mr. Ellice and the other loyalists taken prisoners at
Beauharnois have been removed to Chateauguay-bridge,
where the rebels have a force of about 600 armed men. At
Beauharnois Mrs. Ellice and the other ladies were most
brutally treated by their drunken captors, and all Mr.
Browne's furniture has been either stolen or most wantonly
destroyed.—. Courier.

(From the Montreal Herald of' Tuesday.)
Rumour was busy yesterday with her hundred tongues,
and about as many lies were told as would fill a bushel
measure. It has been ascertained that no in,ury has been
done to Mr. Ellice, Mr. Brown, Mr. Norval, or Mr. Ross,
since they have been in the hands of the enemy, although it
is rumoured that Mr. Ellice has been removed to Napkr-
ville, the very heart of the rebel strength, and Mr. Brown
to St. Timothe. The passenzers on board the Brougham,
when she called at Beauharnois, have been detained in the
cabin as prisoners, and a portion of the machinery has been
so destroyed as to prevent her being of any use until re-
paired. The rebels at Beauharnois, having everything their
own way, broke into the stores of the Loyalists, and got so
gloriously drunk that they were rolling about in the fields.
All the outposts of soldiers looking after deserters are
reported to be murdered, but we cannot state whether the
report is true or not. Colonel Cathcart, hearing that a
numerous force was advancing on Sorel, took with him a
large detachment of Dragoon Guards to enclose them, so
as to cut off their retreat ; and, after scouring the country,
returned without having met the rebels.
Mr. John M'Donald, whom we reported in our extra as
having been murdered, is not dead, but be is pronounced
mortally wounded. We expect to hear to-day of the move-
ments of the military in the disffacted districts and of the
rebellion being totally suppressed, if not totally subdued.
Yesterday forenoon a detachment of the 24th Regiment
met with some opposition from the rebels at Cote St. Pierre,
but they succeeded in dispersing their opponents, and burned
six houses. On Thursday last, Mr. Craig, of the
Royal Regiment, who was the bearer of despatches
to Henryville, narrowly escaped with his life, as a
party was formed to take him prisoner, and of course
despatch him as Lieutenant Weir was murdered. A
warrant was yesterday issued for the apprehension
of an individual at Point au Trembles, a few miles
from this city, but the constables were unable to execute it,
as the Canadians were all armed. On Sunday morning the
Canadians at Longueil destroyed all the canoes on the
beach, and cut off the rudders of the horse-boat, to prevent
any communication between Montreal and the south of the
St. Lawrence. Mr. F. M'Donald has received authority
to f,!rm a volunteer corps in that village, where the Loyal-
ists muster about 30.

The printing press and types of the Montreal Express, a
seditious little paper published in this city for two or three
weeks past, have been seized by the Government.
We understand that Sir John Colborne has sent to the
lower province for additional troops.
Yesterday morning intelligence reached town that Mr.
John M.Donnell, advocateof this city, had been captured at
St. Gregoire, nearly opposite to Three Rivers, endea-
vouring to rai,e the inhabitants in that part of the
country. He described himself as an American Ge-
neral, and stated that the Americans had risen en masse
to assist the suffering Canadians. Some loyalists
took him prisoner, and delivered him up to the regi-
ment of Guards stationed at Three Rivers. On his per-
son were found some papers addressed to him as Major-
General of the Patriot army, and a tri-coloured flag was
found in his posseszion. He was brought up to town yes-
terday in the steamer Canada, which had also Sir James
M'Donnell and the regiments of Guards from Three Rivers.
As soon as it was known that the rebel of the same name
was on board, there was a great sensation in the city, and
immense numbers thronged the wharfs. When he landed,
handcuffed to another traitor, and under a guard of sol-
diers, the crowd groaned and shouted and yelled, and while
on his way to the old gaol, along the beach as far as the
New Market, he was pelted with stones and mud, and was
spat upon the face, and insulted in every possible way. It
was with extraordinary difficulty that the more highly ex-
cited portion of the crowd was restrained from laying vio-
lent hands on him, and securing his punishment on the
spot ; and the feeling that he would certainly be tried sum-
marily by martial law, and immediately thereafter hanged,
alone saved him from the infuriated populace.
The disclosures made by some of the prisoners are very
precise and very important. It appears that a schedule of
the property of each loyalist in the city was drawn up, and
on the rebels taking the city, it was intended that these
parties should deliver up their property as a ransom, while
another class was not to receive any mercy, in which we
have the honour of figuring. All the Jews, also, were to
be massacred. We heard that a copy of the list was found
in M'Donnell's possession, but cannot vouch for the fact.
He had the impudence to ask Sir James M'Donnell to
allow him to go to prison in a caleche, but Sir James re-
fused it, telling him be was a disgrace to his name and to
Scotland. On reaching the barracks, his guards perceived
that he was likely to be sacrified to the fury of the popu-
lace, and he was very properly taken no further. We do
not remember to have seen such an excitement since the
Gth of November last year. M'Donnell is of Scotch and
Canadian extraction, but always associated with Canadians,
and managed to steer clear of any overt act of treason
last year. He is of prepossessing appearance, and of very
gentlemanly manners. As an advocate he had a very good
practice at the Montreal bar ; and, as a politician, he has
been working for the gallows for the last 1 1 years. It was
at his house, in the St. Antoine suburb, that the secret
meetings were lately held, and the oaths administered.
(From the Montreal Gazette, Nov. 7.)
Tlv rebels appear to have congregated in the greatest
numbers in the village of Napierville and Chateauguay,
where they are represented as wallowing in excess of eating
and drinking, and where they will remain only so long as
the state of the roads retards the advance of the troops to
punish the villains. Mr. Young, innkeper at Chateauguay,
who had been detained as a prisoner, made his escape yes-
terday, during the confusion in the rebel camp, occasioned
by intelligence that the Indians from Caughnawaga were
advancing upon the village. The war whoop will be all
that is required to dislodge the fellows.
The village of St. Pierre, beyond Laprairie, is entirely
deserted by its rebel inhabitants, and the houses of the
most noted reduced to ashes.
Colonel Cathcart, with his Dragoons, has scoured the
country to a considerable distance round Chambly, and
could meet with no rebel forces. The mail-carrier from
St. Marie states that between that place and Longueil
the country seemed deserted. It is to be pre-
sumed that the men, if not the women, have
joined the swinish assemblages at Napierville and
Chateauguay. There has been no rising at St. Cesaire
as yet. The rebels who had assembled at St. Charles are
said to have been dispersed again, in consequence of their
promised leader having deemed it prudent not to make his
appearance. The fellow must have had one grain more of
sense than his dupes.
Late accounts from the Grand Brule and St. Therese,
&c., represent that section of the country as perfectly
quiet, although threatening' messages have been sent to
se reralLoya
ilists. It is not
probable however, that the
rebels n that quarter will this time' so soon follow the
example of those on the south side of the St. Lawrence,
as was the case last year, for they were then made par-
tially acquainted with the evils of an unjust and wicked re-
bellion.

e, NEW YORK, THURSDAY MORNING, Nov. 15.
‘-''AN&DIAN NIEETING3,-,WO have hitherto abstained

MEETING OF CANADIAN REFUGEES AND
THEIR FRIENDS IN NEW YORK.
The New York Morning Herald of the 12. th ult., speaks
of the influence of Russia being excited in connection with
the present rebellion, in order that by engaging the arms of
England in the West, she may be less capable of opposing
the designs of the Emperor in the East. It gives the fol-
lowing statement :
" We no..v proceed to develope one of the most extraor-
dinary conspiracies that ever took place in any age or
country.
" For several months past secret meetings have been
held in this city, and various attempts made to organize so-
cieties, and erect sworn brotherhoods, for the purpose
of driving the British power from Canada, even
at the risk of a war between the United States and
England. We have had an eye upon these movements-
-movements which will soon jer,pardize the peace of
two countries supposed to be inseparable in interest, as
they have been, for along time, in feeling—England and the
United States. We know every thing that is going on
among us calculated to create a revolution in Canada, to
foment a war, and to organise the elements of an attack
upon the British colonial system, which it is now the object
of Russian intrigue to break down and destroy, even on
this Continent.
On Saturday evening last one of these secret meetings
was held, in a private room, in Concert-hall, Broadway,
preliminary to the organization of a great central secret
society, bound together by oaths and other sacred tics, and
sworn to the cause of Canadian revolution, in every way
and by every method. We speak by the card. The fol-
lowing is a copy of the first notice issued :
(Private Letter.)
162, Nassau-street, Nov. 10, 1838.
Sir—Canada is in arms ; it has not been invaded from the
United States, but its inhabitants have again risen to make
another effort to throw off the military yoke of aforeign power
which can no longer govern their country except by force
and violence. It is the wish of many among them that
such help as may be lawfully and constitutionally given
them by the people of this free country, ought to be
respectfully asked ; and with this view you are hereby
invited to attend a private meeting of friends of Canada,
to consider the propriety of calling a public assembly of the
citizens on behalf of the struggling Canadians, and to sug-
gest, or to consider of such measures as it might be proper
to propose to that meeting for its adoption if it were
deemed proper to call one ; as also to say whether you
would act as one of a Select Committee on behalf of Ca-
nada, in this city, should your name be proposed to and ap-
proved of by a public meeting of your fellow-citizens.
" The meeting will be held at Concert-hall, 406, Broad-
way, this day (Saturday, the 10th instant), at the hour of
seven o'clock in the evening.
" We are, Sir, your obedient humble servants,
" LUDGER DUVERNA Y, of .N:ontreal.
" WM. L. MACKENZIE, of Toronto.
" JOHN RYAN, of Quebec.
" WILSON REID, of Hope."
At this meeting Colonel Alexander Minn-, an officer of
the General Government of the United States,' now em-
ployed in the Custom-house, was the prime mover and chief
speaker. William L. Mackenzie, the Canadian refugee,
was the other principal man. This meeting was attended
by about thirty persons, a catalogue of whose names we
have, consisting principally of refugees from Canada, po-
litical agents from Europe, and some other persons
whose names would astonish this community. No per-
son was permitted to attend unless he had previously re-
ceived a ticket with a private mark, or had been initiated
at a certain place in Frankfort-street, where their most pri-
vate interviews are held, and thus could give the pass-word.
As soon as the meeting had assembled Colonel Ming
got up and requested all persons not especially initiated to
leave the room, alleging as a reason, that business of a
highly confidential nature, relative to human liberty, was
to be transacted there. Several persons then left—others
were invited to follow, particularly those who could not
show tickets or give the pass-word. Among those present
were, we understand, the persons lately banished by the Earl
of Durham from Canada to Bermuda, who have recently
arrived in this country, by a vessel at Alexandria.
In a few minutes, Mr. Patriot Mackenzie got up,
pulled out a large package of papers and documents,
and the doors being shut, and all strangers excluded,
they proceeded to the important business of the night.
The principal object was to organise societies—to esta-
blish clubs in every ward in New York and every town of
the State, with all the best modes of agitating the public
mind, and to produce a state of public feeling that might
create a rupture between England and the United States.
It was broadly stated that the Government at Washington,
and all his friends in New York, sympathised most deeply
with the Canadian Patriots—and that they viewed the
risings on the borders with the same feelings that they
did the rising in Boston in 1776. Many remarkable
disclosures and startling facts came out before the meet-
ing adjourned. We have in our possession a full report
of the curious " sayings and doings" which took place,
but, out of pity for the position of several who were present,
we forbear to say more than we now do. It is proper
to state, however, that another secret meeting of the re-
volutionists will be held this evening in Frankfort-street,
and that a system of agitation to create an excitement in
New York, has been almost agreed upon. Mr. Patriot
Mackenzie is to be one cf the efficient agitators, and in a
few days a few more private meetings will develope the na-
ture of the new movement.
In connection with this we may state that, the celebrated
Mr. Bidwell, of Upper Canada, is now in this city, residing
at the City Hotel. He lives here under the assumed oc-
cupation of a gentleman of the bar, carrying on his busi-
ness, and engaged in his professional pursuits. Generally,
also, it is said that a great antipathy exists between Mr.
Bidwell and the other refugees—but this is now known to
be merely a feint to lull suspicion and forward the cause.

CANADA.
We are without further Papers or intelligence from either
Province. A letter from Oswego, under date of the 11th
instant, published in the Star of yesterday evening, states
as follows

" There is now a great gathering here of so-called Pa-
triots preparing for an attack on Canada. A few nights
ago, a couple of field-pieces belonging to our Regiment of
Militia, it is said, made their disappearance. Last night I
met many men, evidently strangers, with muskets and rifles,
walking in our streets. We are without any United States
military up to this day, although a report has been in cir-
rculation for some time, that a company of regulars, un-
der Captain Gwinn, has been ordered here from Sackett's
Harbour."

The Royalist force is about 3,000 men ; the Patriots are
estimated at from 600 to 1,200 men.
FROM THE NORTHERN FRONTIER.
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT TROOPS FIRED UPON.
(Correspondence of the Albany Argus.)
" SACKETT'S HARBOUR, Nov. 12.
"My dear Sir—A boat (not ten, as stated in the accom-
panying extract), conveying a company of Colonel 'Worth's
Regimen • t from Ogdensburg to French Mills, on Thursday
last, at noonday, was fired upon, and one man badly and
dangerously wounded. The boat was in American waters,
and the men in full uniform. Their character could not
be mistaken, if, as fatally appears to be the case, within
musket shot. Colonel Worth started forthwith with a
suitable force down the St. Lawrence, to look into this
business."

(Extract from the Sentinel, published at Prescott.)
UPPER CANADA, Nov. 8.

" We regret to learn that an American soldier was shot
near Cornwall, on Wednesdaylast, by some of the volunteers
stationed in that vicinity. A gentleman just arrived in the
Dolphin states that ten barges, apparently filled with men,
were seen passing down ; that they were hailed and did not
slop or make any satisfactory reply, and the volunteers
takms them for rebels fired, It proved, however, that

he men were American soldiers bound for some part of the
country below. An American officer came to Cornwall
the following day, making bitter complaints respecting the
circumstance. We have no doubt every satisfaction that
can reasonably be required will be given. If the boats were
hailed and did not heave to, in times like the present, no
blame whatever can be attached to the volunteers. They
did no more than their duty."
CANADA.—We received yesterday Montreal papers to
the date of Monday last. The patriotism and courage of
the invaders who had assembled at Napierville seem to
have fled, if they ever had any, before even the appear-
ance of the British troops. Two columns, one under
the immediate command of Sir John Colborne, from
St. John's, and the other that of Colonel Love, from
St. Valentine, reached Napierville on Saturday morning
last at the same moment, and found the place
deserted by no less than 4,000 men, who had col-
lected there—probably twice the number of their enemy,
who now sought them. The two affairs which have al-
ready been mentioned by our correspondent at Whitehall
would seem to have been of more importance than his let-
ters led us to expect. In both the attacks of the insurgents,
they were repelled by the militia of the province alone. For
the accounts from other parts of Lower Canada we refer to
our extracts.

The following letter was received yesterday :
" L'Aeadie, Nov. 12, 1838.
" Sir,—l am directed by his Excellency, Sir John Col-
borne, to acquaint you that the rebels who had assembled
in arms in the district of Montreal, have been entirely dis-
persed by her Majesty's troops and volunteers.-1 have the
honour to be, &c.,
" WILLIAM ROWAN, Military Secretary.
" To James Buchanan, Esq., her Majesty's Consul, New
York

(From the Courier of the 12th.)
On Saturday afternoon the annexed despatch reached town,
announcing what was so much feared, that the rebel force
had evacuated Napierville before the troops reached it.
" Napierville, Nov. 10, 1838, Saturday 9 o'clock, A.M.
Sir—i am directed by the Commander of the Forces
to inform you that the force under his command has just
arrived here. The rebels, to the number of 2,000 evacu-
ated the town about two hours ago, and about the same
number had previously gone off, many of them having thrown
away their arms. The cavalry are now in pursuit of the
former, on the Chateauguay road. Colonel Love's column
reached the town, from St. Valentine, at the same time
with the head-quarter division.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obt. servant,
" JOHN EDEN, D.A.G.
" Col. Wetherell, C. 8., Commanding Montreal."

Odletown, Nov. 8.
" have the honour and the satisfaction to report
to you, for the information of his Excellency the Com-
mander of the Forces, the successful result of an affair with
the rebels, which took place this morning. The insurgents
mustered 1,000 strong, under the personal command of Dr.
Nelson. They attacked my advanced guard at Captain
Weldon's, about a quarter to 11 A.M., upon which I im-
mediately directed the concentration upon Odletown church
of the small force of 200 men under my command.
The enemy extended around us, and kept up a sharp
fire, which was as sharply answered. After an action of
about two hours and a half, during which several brilliant
sallies were made by the volunteers, the insurgents re-
treated, !cal ing 50 dead, and carrying off several wounded.
" 1 regret to say that Captain M. Allister and four men
have fallen, and that Lieutenant Odell and nine men have
been wounded—none of the latter, however, are seriously
injured.

the suspension, for a limited time, as to such persons, of the
Habeas Corpus Act.
MONEY, MARKET, &c., Nov. 16.
We have no change of any moment to notice in the
Stock Market ; the business transacted yesterday was ra-
ther more extensive, and in a few irstances at a trifling im-
provement in prices, but the market generally for all de-
scriptions, not paying regular dividends, must be considered
much depressed. United States Bank closed at 121+ ;
Delaware and Hudson, 71+ ; Haarlem Railroad, 55} ; and
Stonington Railroad at 40+, a decline of 1 per cent. on
the closing price of the previous day. Sales were made of
10,000 dollars in 6 per cent. Treasury notes at k per cent.
premium. . . .

The packet ship St. Andrew, for Liverpool, being still de-
tained, some further sales of bills on London have been made
for transmission by her at 91 to 9-3 per cent. prem., the pre-
vious rates. On France, for the packet leaving to-morrow,
the rate of exchange ruled at sf. 20c., until the United States
Bank had sold all its bills, when private houses refused to
draw under of. 171 c., at which sales were made. The
United States Bank, will, however, have a further supply
of bills from Philadelphia to-day, when the rate will again
be put at of. 20c.
The Bowery Insurance Company has declated a divi-
dend of 4 per cent. for the last six months.
Letters from Havre notice the sale of 100,000 dolls.
Mexican, received by the packets from New York, at
of. 35c.

The banks of Quebec have suspended specie payments.
The advices from Europe by the Great Western have
as yet had, and probably will have, little or no effect on
our markets generally. Flour was steady yesterday at the
previous prices, with very limited inquiry, and cotton also
remained without the least change, the Liverpool rates not
warranting shipments to that port in the present state of
this market. A good deal of uneasiness is evinced at the
non-arrival of the Liverpool, that vessel being now out
twenty-six days ; the impression appears to be that she has
put into Halifax or some other port for coal.

It will be seen by the following despatch, which was
received from Major Carmichael yesterday, that Beauhar-
nois has been retaken from the rebels, and that the pri-
soners taken with the Brougham steamer have been m-
ica: e I :

"Beauharnois, Nov. 10, Ten o'Clock A.M.
Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the infor-
mation of his Excellency the Commander of the Forces,
that, in conjunction with Colonel I'hilpotts, a detachment
of 1 officer of Engineers, 22 sappers and miners, 1 captain,
3 subalterns, 4 sergeants, 2 buglers, and 121 rank and file,
71st Regiment, with upwards of 1,000 Glengary men,
were landed at Hungry Bay this morning, marchet', took
Beauharnois, and rescued all the prisoners, with the excep-
tion of Messrs. Ellice, Brown, Normand, Ross, Norval,
Bryson, Houndslow, and Surveyor, supposed to be at Cha-
teauguay, with the loss of one man killed and three wounded,
of the 71st Regiment.

(From the Montreal Courier of Nov. 12.)
By a private letter received yesterday we regret to learn
that Mr. George Hay, a respectable farmer, residing on
the banks of the Richelieu, about six miles above St. Va-
lentine, has been robbed by the rebels of all his moveable
property, including his valuable stock of horses, cattle,
sheep, pigs, &c. ; and that all the loyal inhabitants on that
side of the river have experienced similar treatment. Mr.
Hay's house had been used as a barrack for several days
by about 200 of the rebels. The writer also states that
about 100 of them have advanced about a quarter of a
mile over the lines on the opposite side of the river, and
taken their stand at a place called Beech Ride, near Al-
burgh. Besides being well armed, they have three pieces
of cannon. The loyal inhabitants in that quarter are worn
out with fatigue and harrassed with constant alarms.
The Chambly mail carrier, who arrived yesterday after-
noon, reports that the volunteers had been fired upon by
the rebels, and that Mr. Dixon, the post-master, had been
obliged to fly to the fort for protection.
Nine prisoners who have been arrested in the neighbour-
hood of St. John's, were brought to town yesterday after-
noon, by the Princess Victoria. Among these are two
noted rebels, one named Mongeon, the other Bachard. E.
R. Fabre and Dr. Lusignan, have also been arrested.
Through the whole of yesterday very large volumes of
smoke were visible in the direction of the Chateauguay, and
last night a large portion of the heavens was illumined by
an extensive blaze, which was visible in the direction of
St. John's, supposed to be St. Athanase.
The Brougham steamer, which was captured by the rebels,
is a good deal crippled in her machinery, and was towed
down to Lachine yesterday, the mail-bag from Upper
Canada, that was on board of her, remained undiscovered
and unopened, although its contents were valuable. It was
brought into town yesterday.
Considerable sensation was created in town yesterday by
the arrival of Messrs. Ellice, L. G. Brown, R. H. Norval,
John Macdonald, John L. Grant, John Bryson, John Ross,
Houndslow, David Normand, 17r. Surveyor, and snot her
whose name we did not learn, about whose safety some ap-
prehensions had been entertained. It appears that after
their capture at Beauharnois, they were, as was supposed
here, conveyed to Chateauguay, where they were con-
fined in a room from which daylight was carefully ex-
cluded, but they were allowed to have candles burning.
During this time they were well treated by the Cure and
the nuns, who were permitted to send them a profusion
of luxuries from their larders and cellars. They were also
allowed to send money for anything they wanted from the
village. They were being conveyed in carts on Saturday, as they believed to Napierville, and had reached La Pi-,
geonniere, in the seigniory of St. George, when their
escort, hearing of the evacuation of Napierville, left them
them and fled. They were allowed to proceed in the
same carts to Laprairie, and were even advised, it is said,
by some of the older rebels, which road to take as the
safest. They reached Laprairie about two o'clock yester-
day morning, and this city about ten.
Extract from a letter, dated Quebec, Thursday evening :
" There are now in this city a good number of strangers,
particularly Americans ; I learn that a few of them were
arrested yesterday, but I did not hear for what cause.
It appears that depositions have been made against
several individuals in this city, who attend secret meetings,
and that warrants have beeny issued for their apprehension.
" Morin has left the city.
We have been favoured with the following extract of a
letter, dated Sandwich, Oct. 30, 18:38:
" All the Western and London districts are in a bustle ;
500 militia are called out at Chatham ; 350 are at Port
Saraia. All the militia here and at Amherstburgh are
or-
dered to be in readiness at a minute's warning. The Lake
Shore Militia are ordered out, and the whole of the troops
at Amherstburgh have been working day and, night, and all
last Sunday, getting the fortifications ready.
The official Gazette of the 9th inst. contains four ordi-
nances of Sir J. Colborne and his Special Council. The
first is that authorizing the banks to suspend specie pay-
ment. Its provisions are similar to that issued on a former
occasion, and its duration limited to the Ist of June next.
The second ordinance authorizes the seizing and detaining
for a limited time, of gunpowder, arms, weapons, lead, and
munitions of war. The third ordinance authorizes Sir John
Colborne to take such steps as he may deem necessary for
the suppression of the rebellion, and to erect tribunals for
the trial and punishment of the rebels. The fourth ordi-
nance authorizes the apprehension and detention of persons
charged with high treason, suspicion of high treason, mis-
