IoWer CduIUI.

Appearances now warrant the belief
present. We have good reason for BELLE
wing that there is at the present moment
no embodied armed force in the Lower
Province in opposition to he government.
During the past week the troops have
passed through the disturbed district with
ont opposition, visiting St. Denis, Saint
Charles and ST. Hiacinth, burning the
property Of Nelson and other obnoxious
individuals. The gathering at Lake of
Two Mountains it is also said has disper-
sed. The proclamation OF martial law in
the district Of Montreal, and the offer OF
large rewards for the arrest Of the leading
patriots has driven large number across
the line into the States. Among others,
Mr.. Il. S. Brown arrived at this place on
Monday. 1t is now rendered very certain
that the late movement in Canada was an
event not anticipated by the leading radi
Gals, and, of course, not provided for
There seems to have been no concer,
among the head men, and nothing Of that
kind of preparation necessary to sustain
and carry on revolutionary movement.
Mr.. Papneau, as we now learn, has been
in no way cognz9nt Of what has taken
place at ST. Dennis and St Charles and
up to The present time, his location is moi
known

cartridges fitted to the cahber of our guns,
prevented our doing so much execution as

ST. CHARLES.
On Saturday, the 18th Nov. Mr.. Brown
having arrived at St. Charles, possession
was taken ofthe property of Mr.. Debarlzh
aud the Store of Sphinx. and preparai ions
were made for making fortified camp
during The following days, persons from
various adjoining parishes came forward to
express their readiness to join in any mca-
sure for rising to assert the liberties of
the counryj and such preparations were
made FOR defence as the circumstances of
| the case permitted. On Wednesday we
learned that preparations were making for
an attnck from Chamby and another from
Sorcl. On Thursday we heard of the glo
rlous victory at St. Denis. On the after
noon Of the same day, we learned that the
enemy had descended from Cbambly, and
were stationed at S.. lIllaire, two and q
half leagues above. On Friday we station
ed pcQuets along the road us far as Isle
aux Cert, with orders TO cut the BRIGGS and
dispute the ground in event of the troops
descending. In the night all the pickc,s
ran back to the camp with the news that
the enemy was coming down. 1t appeared
however next morning that they had only
made short march aud then returned to
quarters. On Monday the men in the fort
were counted over, when ~ guns in va
rious conditions, were all that were found;
there we're also about forty on the picket
above, and we estimated that with those
| in the village, we could muster near $50
guns.

was in march, and the picket was seen
descending rapidly. The picket was fino Iy

a small party of Cavalry and a piece OF
artillery, under command Of COL Weiher-

creating alarm, they set fire to several
barns and houses. A great number OF
unarmed men were running down the field,
which much alarmed those in the fort, who
| did not number more than eighty men.
OF the two cannons planted near the road
only one was discharged, the other missing
fire. The enemy divided at hundred

choose small white round onions; take off the
Drown skin; have ready very nice lin stewpan
of boiling alter, throw in as many onions as will
cover the top. As they look clear on the outside
take them up as quick as possible with slice,
and lay them on clean cloth, cover them close
with one another, and scad some more, and so
on. Let them lie TO be cold, then put them in
jar, or glass wide mouth bottle, and pour over
them the best white wine vinegar, just hot, but
not boiling. When cold cover them,
Cucun,bcrs and Onions Sliced. Cut them in

it boils, pour it over them again, covering With
fresh leaves; and thus do till they are of as good
colour as you wish; but it is, now known, that

brass or bell-metal vessel, which, when vinegar is
put INTO them, become highly poisonous; few peo-

Nots.--Acids dissolve the lead in the timing
Of sauccpans. Pickles should never be kept IN
glazed Jars, but in stoDe or glass; and vinegar, o.
any acids, should be boiled by putting them in

water.
