The Patriot states that Ruben Par
ker was then in Toronto trying to get
his brother, John G., who was arrested
for treason baied out. The rumor,
therfore, that Parker had been Mnched,
was probably untounded, One hundred
prisoners had been brought into Toronto
the night previous, the llth, it wasrepor-
ted that Gov. Marcy had issued a
proclamation prohibiting the assem-
blage Of armed men, for the purpose of
aiding the Canadian insurgents. The
Patriot says they can spare 10000 men
to aid the Lower province, and that it
is their duty TO repair to their assist
ance.
The governor has issued a procla-
nation convoking the provincial parlia-
ment tomorrow, at the city of Toronto,
for the actual despatch of business. He
has also offered reward of five hun
dred pounds for the arrest of DR.. Rolph,
who, ne says, absconded hastily from
his residence on the breaking out of the
insurrection."

CANADIAN AFFAIRs.-We have been
politely furnished with the Toronto
(governmenD Patriot OF Tuesday the
18th, from which we gather some later
intelligence than we have heretofore
published. The Patriot states that the
city had, up to that time, been in one
continued hustle from the arrival OF
fresh volunteers. Between the 4th and
18th, it says, at least, 10000 able bodi-
ed men have marched into Toronto, to
the protection ofthe government. Since
the Skirmish which took place on the
Thursday previous, strong parties have
been securing the country, killing many
Of the insurgents and taking some pri-
soners. II was asccrtained that So of
the insurgents were killed at the skir-
mish on Thursday, Lieut.. Dawson,
with 900 men, brought in on Saturday,
60 insurgents secured by one long rope,
who were marched up and down the
streets.many ofwhom are representedto to
have wept bitterly on the occasion.
The valuable papers Of Mckenzie were
seized at Montgomery's tavern, where
the first skirmish took place. This sci
zure, the Patriot says, was the cause of
DR.. Rolph's sudden flight, as a letter is
said to have been found from him, advis
ing an earlier attack on the city than had
been projected. 1t was reported at To-
ronto that the Doctor had been seen to
cross from Queenston to Buffalo, where
ne had since been addressing the people.
The Hon, M. IS. Bidwell left on Sun
day morning, in the Transit, on pledge
to the Governor to absent himself from
the province for ever. The seizure of
McKcnzie's papers had caused the ar
rest also Of d. D. Thornburn, McMic-
king, Price,and Charles Durand Of Ham
ilton. The blacks volunteered to aid
the government, to the number Of 200,
and are represented to have fought
bravely,
