TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. i 1 , 1838.

REBELLION IN CANADA.—The Great Western,
which arrived at Bristol on Friday evening, has
brought New York papers to the 23d ultimo. The
Great Western had 87 passengers, including a mes-
senger to the Colonial Office, who brings dispatches
from Canada. The dates from Montreal are to the
20th ult. The reports froth the scene of disturbance
are of the most gratifying character. The rebels who
landed at Prescott were completely defeated in a se•
cond action. It was quite correct that they were, in
the first instance, attacked by Colonel Young ; but the
report of that officer's death turns out to be a fabrica-
tion. The movement against the rebels was effected
with the loss of only one British soldier, a private of
the 83d. All accounts agree in representing the over-
throw of the rebels as complete. The prompt and en-
ergetic measures adopted by Sir John Colborne and
Sir George Arthur are deserving of the greatest
praise. The proclamation of martial law seems to
have had a most excellent effect in repressing the re-
bellion.
The loyalists of both provinces have behaved
themselves most gallantly.. The ruffians who were
dislodged from their position at Prescott, seem to have
beer,- entraftgary from the America.--atates. One of
them was a Pole, of the name of Von Schutz. He
killed himself after being taken prisoner.
Colonel Ming, Who acted as. secretary to the rebel
meeting at New York, has been dismissed frrim the
situation which he held in the Custom-house.
We subjoin as many extracts from the New York
and other journals as we can find room for.

GREAT CANADIAN MEETING.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. 1838.—M'Kenzie arrived in this
city a few days ago, in company with Theller, and forthwith
proceeded to get up a meeting of the citizens of Washington
in favour of the rebellion in Canada,.which he and some
other madmen have been instrumental in exciting in that
country. He went to the office of the Globe, lutelligencer,
Madisonian, the proprietors of which refused to announce
the meeting and he was obliged to resort to the expedient of
having bills, which were posted up in different parts of the
city, inviting the citizens to meet at Carusi's Saloon, which,
like a common prostitute, is used by every one for almost
every rurpose, to take into consideration the cause of the
suffering friends of liberty in Canada. The people were quite
astonished at such impudence on the part of these renegades,
and many of them attended out of curiosity, and not with
any desire to participate in the proceedings of the meeting.
About three hundred assembled of locofocos, loafers, and
some respectable citizens. M`Kenzie had a string of reso-
lutions cut and dry for the occasion ; but unfortunately he
could get no one bold or interested enough in the cause
to preside. This was a damper, and he commenced to ad-
dress the meeting as they were—stated he was a printer, had
edited a paper for some time in Canada, corresponded with
Gales and Seaton, Duff, Green, and Blair, the first and last
of whom had refused to announce the meeting ; hod teen a
member and speaker of the Assembly in Canada for some
years—felt a deep sympathy in the sufferings of the people,
and a violent indignation against the tyranny and oppression
of the English government; and threw out several clan-traps,.
to. which a few of the loafers and locos responded, but still no
one moved to organize the meeting, and there was evidently
a good deal of dissatisfaction manifested on the. part of the
company with the tediousce:;s of the crater. I say, mister,"
cried a loarer, " we've hearu enough of that; sed down, will
ye, and let's hear the tether one preach a bit." " Yes by the
lioly poker," cried an Irishman, •• we want to hear our own
counthryman, the docther there, tell -us how he broke out
o' gaol, and what the divil he done wid himself since he run
away from the city in debt to every burly, three or four years
.

Be quiet, will ye Patriots" said another, " sure the ,ein-
tleman has been so bothered wid patriotism and the throubles
of his poor suffering countrymen in tidal foreign parts, that
he couldn't take time to consither sich truffles, ye spalpeen
Is it the part of a giutleman to be thinking about paying his
debts, whin he says the poor Canadian divils were deprived of
mate and thriuk. Och, by St. Pathrick, it won nuive the
bowels of an Orangeman jist to think of their sufferings."
In the meantime, 'Teller got upon his feet and proposed
to give a history of his escape, and seconded with his
might the views of his itinerant renegade. M'Keuzie thought
he had not said enough, and again addressed •the meeting,
stating he wished sonic expression of the people at the seat
of the general government in favour of what he called the
patriot cause, knowing that it would have great weight with
the people of Great Britain, and thus have a proper influence
on the British government itself. The locofoco editor of
that mass of balderdash and nonsense, 'yclept the " Demo-
cratic Review," Langtree, who is one of the pets, and in the
confidence of Van Buren, was very desirous to do something
that would tell at this meeting. Ile is, moreover, one of the
employes of the government, and paid out of the public trea-
sury for propagating his democratic absurdities,. and crude
Irish notions of liberty in this country. This man seemed
to be warmly in favour: of the cause, and almost the only one
present that was. It proved, however, an entire abortion,
and the meeting dissolited without doing any thinff. This is
not the region for such things. Schemes of rebellion will
not thrive here, and the citizens are too reflecting, sober,
and discreet to lend themselves to such wild, foolish, and
dangerous undertakings. Every one was astonished at the
impudence of these men in sticking up placards under the
very eve of the Government, and the dissatisfaction was so
veal that it reached the palace, and his majesty, Martin the
First, it is said, issued a circular to the different officers of
government,. requesting them not to give any couutenancel
by their presence, or in any other manner, to the critninat
designs of M`Kenzie & Co. And so the matter stands.
is believed by his friends, that Van Buren intends, in his
next message, to be very explicit on this subject. We shall
see,—Whatever he may do, it is certain that none but his
locofoco friends are at all favourable to this rebellious scheme,
which, if not checked, 'may involve this country in a serious
and disastrous war.

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA.
A Proclamation,
. . . .

Whereas, there is much reason to believe that citizens of
the United States, in disregard of the solemn warning here-
-tofiire given to them by the proclamations issued by the Ex-
ecutive of the General Government, and by some of the
Governors of the States, have combined to disturb the peace
of the dominions of a neighbouring and friendly nation :
And whereas, information has been given to me, derived
from official sod other soureer, that many citizens in differ-
ent parts of the United States are associated, or associating,
for the same purpose: And whereas, disturbances have ac-
tually broken out anew in different parts of the two Canadas:
And whereas, a hostile invasion has been made by citizens
of the United States, in conjunction with Canadians and
others, who, after forcibly seizing upon the property of their
peaceful neighbour for the purpose of effecting their unlaw-
ful designs, are now in arms against the authorities of Canada,
in perfect disregard of their own obligations as American
citizens, and of the obligations of the Government of their
country to foreign nations:
Now, therefore, I have triought.it necessary and proper to
issue this proclamation, calling upon every citizen of the
United States neither to give countenance nor encourage-
ment of any kind to those who have thus forfeited their claim
to the protection of their country; upon those misguided or
deluded persons who are engaged in them to abillg_on projects
dangerous to their own country, fatal to tbWshorn they
profess a desire to relieve, impracticable of execution with-
out foreign aid, which they cannot rationally expect to ob-
tain, and giving rise to imputations (however unfounded)
upon the honor and good faith of their own government, upon
every officer, civil and military, upon every citizen—by the
