From Upper CaAads.

Oar readers will perceive from The fulloming in
telligeace. received by the Western Mail Of this
morning, that the spirit Of revolt has broken out
in the Upper, as we'll as in the Lower, Province of
Canada. The particulars of the attack upon Tor
onio-the capital of Upper Canada and the resi-
dence of the Colonial Governor. Sir Francis Head
are contained in slips-of which the following
ars copies-from the different newspaper Office
named below. We think, that there can be no
doubt Of the authenticity Of these accounts, and
that a general instruction of the inhabitants of
Upper Canada is in progress.-1roy VMg.

in the market house. Many buildings were burnt,
aud some lives lost. and many taken prisoners.
