We have Just seen gentleman connected with one
Of the first firms in city, who left Buffalo on the
morning Of the 9Th for Niagara, in Upper Canada.
where he arrived in the afternoon Of the day. and
left there the morning following, 1.-THE 7lh) at o'clock,
from whom we have the following particulars
On the evening Of the 9Th steamboat left Niagara,
with hundred for Toronto, on reauisition from
Sir FRANCIS HEAD, and on the evening Of the 9th the
Britannia steamer with ninety.two volunteers left for
the same place. The wind was blowing gale from the
north, and the latter was compelled to put back Early
on the morning OF the 7th steamer hove in sight with
British colos flying which, reaching the port, proved
to be the Transit, Captain Richardson, having board
the 200 loyalsts who had sailed for Toronto on the 9th
Our informant went on board the Transit, where he
heard the following particulars ..,.1.
McKENsIE with about $50 insurgents, took possess
sion Of Montgomery House, large building near To-
ron,o, the 4th, and instead Of making immediate
attack upon the town, the wish Of his followers,
he his demand the Governor that he should dis
solve the Provincial Parliament and leave the Province
within fourteen days This gave offence to koLPH and
Others who commended that it only giving the Co
vernon time to strengthen himself, and they therefore
abandoned him. The Governor without replying to the
demand placed his family board the steamer Transit
and ordered her to lay at anchor of the portin the
mean time despatching steamboat to Niagara, and
sendng into The interior every direction for aid. On
the Of the from Niagara, they found the
Governor with /, 100 volunteers under arms. who
the morning OF the 9Th attacked and dispersed McKEN
zIE and his force, burning the ground Montgomery
House, aud taking Dr. MORRISON prisoner and capur-
| ing McKENzlE's press.
The Governor then, feeling himself secure, directed
the Transit to land his family, and re-convey the Maya
ra volunteers 10 their honest or course, the troops
which had embarked board the Britannia were land
ed and discharged; but picket guard Immediately
established all along the Niagara line 10 prevent the
Americans crossing and taking part in the nsurrecon.
Our informant further says that the whole district Of
Niagara is decidedly radical, and that notwithstanding
the presence Of nearly 800 loyasts under arms RoLpH,
with whom he conversed openly para5ing the streets,
and that arrangements had been publicly made for
hosting the American fag il the news had been favo-
rabe from Toronto BY mutual consent no movement
arrests Niagara to take place, but their ton
to depend upon the from the other side OF the
Lake He also says that citizens pouring into
Canada and that there be little doubt hut the greater
part Of the upper Province is ripe for revolt He says
that the feeling Niagara decidedly in favor Of the
Radicals and the circumstance that RoLPH per-
med to be at large scertainy evidence Of this fact
