tated, and declined giving any satisfactory
information as to his crossing the lake, or
who or how many came with him; but by
means of vigilance and good management,
they succeeded IN arresting two others by
the names Of Aaron Brink and David Lee

Clark. On Saturday they were taken to
Black Rock, and underwent an examina-

THOS. BOLTON, Sec'ry
ORDERS IN COUNCIL.

We conclude the frs year of our labors
with a subject on which we sincerely con-
graduate the public; our preceding pages
contain the declaration by which the obnox-
ious orders in council were rescnded; and
by which an opening is made for the Just re
rival of trade. To MIR. Brougham, the
thanks of the town are particularly due, and
we rejoice to observe that meeting is cal
led at which the gratitude of the communi-
ty may be properly expressed. The depu-
tation from this town merits also our earnest
applause. The clear and decided evidence
of these gentlemen, has had It's preponder-
ancc, and they have the self-satisfaction of
perceiving their country benefited by their
cXertions. Yet, with the true sentiment of
Eberality, they themselves refer us to the
labors OF others; and assure us that our OBJ
legations to the gentlemen of the deputation
from Birmingham are great beyond mea-
sure. We hope that some means of giving
publicity to general estimation will be de-
Viscd, and that men who have thus pressed
upon the attention of government, the neces-
sity ofre opening the only remaining source of
honorable commerce, will not be forgotten.
In our own town, shipments to a very large
amount have already been made, and COM
Inercial activity is reviving around us.
