The Burlington Free Press OF tho 2sih
gives us opportunity 10 correct The above, and
also 10 furnish further particulars. Tho above
affair took place at 81. Dennis on Thursday,
aad the Patriot account is, briefly, that the
patriots were in Their houses, suffered the sol
dlers 10 get well into the street, and thea sud
denly opened the windows, aud poured out
murdelous fire upon thcm-in all so British
| were killed and wounded, ten cannon, 100
balls and other ammunition taken; Patriot
loss seven. The Montreal Herald (o,ul)
| confirms this in some respects, and states that
Capt Markham was dangerously wounded
The Montreal Herald Of Saturday con-
iains call for meeting Of citizens OF A
merlcan origin, at The Exchange Coffee
House, on The % Tor the purpose OF cor
reciiug what lhey detr 10 be an erroneous
impression, thai the patriot cause is Likely

A correspondent OF the Herald ashcs
LORD Gossl0rd with unmerciluI severity Tor
his remssncss, and minutes that "Cnother
God than that of war, has occupied his
thoughts" He however calls upon his
Ecccllency now 10 besiir himself, and, IF
''he wishes 10 crush rebellion in tie bud, let
"hitn send for ten thousand militia from
clipper Canada. Without thtm Montreal
"cannut be defended" So says this cor

From the Montreal Herald Of Saturday morning.
The Steamer 81. George arrived III PORT
Yesterday evening from Quebec, and had
Capt. Markham OF The SD and The InopS o
Cavalry aud Artillery as passengers from
Sure. Capt. M. has been wounded in
four different places, twice III Tie throli,
once in the back and oucc in the leg one
OF The wounds in The ihroaf aud that in the
leg were received while he was being car
ried on. Of IA house. On Thursday at hall
pas P. NJ. Tic troops retired upon Snrel,
where they now remain 10 recruit their eX-
auscd energies. The poor fellows were
terribly cut up between bad roads, want of
shoes and starvation, and presented a sad
picture Of the horrors OF war.
Our yesterdays extra shows that these
are string times. In addition to its con-
tents, which we believe TO be substantially
true we have now 10 stale, llInt, as Gen.
Brown had demolished all the bridges acros
the auxliarieS oi the Richclicu. Co.Welh-
erall and his Royals had not beeu able to
proceed On Thursday farther than Rouvilc
on their march against ST. Charles. As
the Col. however, was determined To over
come all obstacles, he would most probably
reach ST. Charles about the same me as
the united deiachments, that have proceeded
| from Montreal.
| Tie intelligence from the country has
converted this city into barrack. A The
wards are armed ; ard the volunteer brig
AIDES have pretty well completed their or
! ganizati0n.
Where there is even the slightest danger
| it is always best to look il boldly in the lace
in all It's hearings and, il, through any I'M
| loreseen difficulties, the troops should not be
able 10 disIodge and scatter the rebel army
OF 81. Charles, this city may have 10 pass
the winter in a virtual state of siege and
may find some difficulty even in keeping
open communication with Upper Canada;
! should 50 extreme case be realized the
| question oil provisions may become a seri.
Gus ore, and in that event all those, who
will not take arms or cannot be trusted
with them, will Of course, be turned out To
| find food and shelter where they NAV.
Woe To the dastardly and The ,reaeherous
ID.
