sisting Of father, mother and several children
Their language indicated that they of French
origin. They had miserable old horse and car
riage. Among the rest was one girl some eight or
ten years old. Her management showed that she
bad been trained to begging after The best fashion of
European cities, and it may as specimen of
the whole company. Covered with nothing but a
few miserable shreds Of old tattercd garments she
would go into house shivcring though nearly
frozen and beg the privilege of warming herself n
little. Soon she would express wish that some
old garment mig ht be given as she obliged to
travel and afraid that she should freeze TO death;
at the time feignng great reluctance to having
it known that she had no shadow Of a garment on,
save tho tatters which were visible. In this way,
having excited compassion, something would be
brought. and in putting itupon her, it would be per-
celved that she had no under garments; of course,
the pity excited would not let her go without giving
her more than was first intended Clothing was
followed with giving her food. Soon, with every
expression of thanks, she off; ard having silly
Invested herself of all she had just received and
GREETED it, or conveyed it to the old carriage, she
would enter another house and go through the same
course OF shivering and apparent difident express
sion OF her tear of freezing, &c. Having obtained
again what she could she would again go through
the same course as before, and then in all her maxi
euhess ana rags go TO third, &c. At the same

ter, at least twenty royos,s 10 one Patriot. This
we doubt much, however.
From all the information that we have cleaned
we consider this movement of the reformers us
not only ill-timed, but also extremely ill.managed.
Had they pushed ahead, Immediately after taking
possession ofTOronto, there would have been
little opposition, of moment to them in the Up
per Province Some of the royal militia would
not obey he government orders to turn out, and
few volunteered such was the general panic.
When it was found, however, that the Patriots
were, from some cause, remaining inactive, there
fears were dispeiled, and numerous reinforce
ments We're obtained.
MIR MKenze, we now learn, commanded the
reformers in person.
We have also before us n proclamation by Sir
II. b. Head, which is full ofroyal expressions,
and praise of the bravery, sc. ofthc royalist vol
unteers.
He also offers a reward OF $1,000 pounds to
any one who will apprehend, and deliver up to
justice, WH'iam Lyon Mackenzie; and 500 pounds
TO any one vino will apprehend, and deliver up
to justice, DGvid GibSon-or Samuel Lolut--or
Jesse LLoyi-or SHnS FietchG'-and the same re-

GlI suhIects-and they will find the government

What the effect of this rcpulse win be, it is
difficult to conjecture, Ouropinion is, however,
that it will retard but not entirely prevent, the
revolutionary movements OF the dsaffectcd
The Patriots having taken up stand at Mont
gomery, about five miles from the city, were dis
lodged from their position with a loss of 30 kill

According to the loyaIist's account, the patri-

their escape by scattering and taking TO the
