WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1914.

SIR George Provost, in his late General Or
ders from Quebec, has very artiuy seized up
on the circumstance Of the burn ng Of swark,
to justify the horrtd outrages OF the British
troops and the Indians on the Niagara frontier,
and to inspire the Canadians with spirit of
Indignation ag. inst the United States and their
cause. But what are the facts
LIST. With respect TO the conhagration of
Newark, it was, at the worst, an act Of pre-.
caution, adopted TO secure our own people, and
of which tie Inhabitants of that tolpn had fuil
notice, and reasonable time gwen them to re-.
move with their personal property. The inha-
btants we're turned on, Of doors, to be sure ;
but they were neither plundered nor bu;chered
by our soldiers nor by Indians.
End. There is no instance of the troops oil
'he United States having eaken a British town
rr fortress, and given it up to piilage, and the
women and children to rape and murder A,
the capture of York, Fo!t Georg', Queenstown
chippewa, and Maiden, nothing OF the kind
nok place.
Sd. " Newark had been burnt from mo.
We OF retaliation, that retaliation would have
en- fully justified by admiral Cockburn's col

Raisin. That scene OF barbarous and bruta

by the total destruction of Quebec. The A.
