Just beyond the bridge; but they made off
so fast as the troops came up, that only
four of them were taken. The party

ers a little after shutdown. From the
genera, statements made by the prisoners,
il is evident that very large body OF men
had been called out to oppose the troops,
and that courage rather than numbers was
wanting, to induce them to attempt 1t.
The two MoNGEAUs, we understand, are
identified as having been OF the party that

We have heard complaints made in some
quarters, Of the small force despatched on
! the former errand for the arrest Of DEMA-
RAY and D'kvIGNoN. We believe very
short answer may be made to them. Until
| the civil force had been proved inadequate,
Sir JOHN CoLBoRNE could not have been
justified in furnishing a military force for
such a purpose. The Volunteer Cavalry
were employed in the capacity OF special
constables, on that occa SION. Inc iorc'o'e
rescue Of the prisoners rom the'r hnnus'
has happily warranted the stronger meas

may now look every day for Intelligence u

have occurred, is already in state OF war

The arrests in this city, of whose nature
we spoke with some little uncer talnty on
Saturday, we have since ascertanhd TO DC
for high treason, as they ought to be. The
arrested parties are all in separate confin1-
mcnt. Those who were taken in arms on
Saturday. are, of course, all guilty OF
treason, also.
Since the six arrests on Thursday eve.
ming, three others have been made ~ Mon
treal, all for the same crime. On Friday
evening, Messrs. JOSEPH LETToRE and
DR.. B. LIoNAIs, both of ST. Athanase,
made their appearance in town, much to
the surprise Of their captors, aud were
speedily committed to gaol, as much to
their own surprise. On Saturday, Mr.
LOUIS MICHEL VIGER, president of the
Banc du Peupe, was quietly lod ged in I'd"
