From the Boston CentincL Of Jnnc 29.
Montreal Pdters, Of the lS.h, rsceiv-
ed yesterday, state that the British Col.
McDowail had arrived at Michilimackl
mac (Lake Huron) with "a bateaux laden
with ordnan &c, stores, SC. and detach-
ment of troops and seamen; that this
important post had been placed in the
most formidable state of defence; and
that large body of Indians had arrived
there & received there presents. This
article, with one from Detroit, under the
Mail head. must excite concern for tbs
event in that quarter.
tits added, that Com. Yeo was taking
in stores at Kingston, for Niagara. A
Quebeck paper Of the l4th says. Capt.
Downie will take temporary command
of the Lake feet, Com. Yeo being out

II Renegade" One Renegade is

in Noya-Scotia who is most virulent in
his abuse OF the . Yankees" and their
government, was the Publisher of an
English paper in Massachusetts, not
long ago.
We copy this small article (which
contains multam in harvol from the Bos-
ton Chronicle, most bitter democratic
paper. Yes, the Chronicle is right.
One Renegade is worse than ten
Turks" But we should like to know
in what manner this will be received by
the Renegadoes in our country, the tel.
low-labourers of the Chronicle in the
grea, canse of democracy. Indeed,
Messrs. Editors of the Chronicle, "tais
