riots were advancing on St. Johns yesterday
afternoon, A variety Of rumors are afoal,
but nothing certain but that the Patriots
have risen at something like forty different
points BY to-morrow's boat something
more definite may be expected.

copy from the Montreal Courier, some items
of intelligence
1t appears. that at La Tortu, about or
8 miles above I.aprairic, number Of rebels
attacked. on Saturday night last, the scatter
ed royalists in that quarter. Several who
had lived in the neighborhood made their
escape with great difficulty; and conveyed
intelligence OF the attack to Laprairie from
which place party ofthe Hussars were, on
the instant. despatched to La Touu, and wers
fortunate enough to come upon the rebels
unawares and dispersed them with few
shots--with what damage il could not be
ascertained.
In Beauharnois a rising took place on
the same night, and they succeeded in sur
prising the loyalisis of the village. and made
prisoners of Messrs Ellice Brown. and Nor.

/ The steamer Princes Vietora made al
extra tripto Laprairie on Saturday afternoon
for the purpose Of taking over four pieces o
! Artillery, with the men, horses, &c, for 81
Johns In consequence Of the late hour a
: which she reached Laprairie, it was deeme'
imprudent to forward the artillery that du

the boat, by conveying combusiibles into tn
, berths in the forecas,le II was discovers
before any material damage had been done
& The circumstance of the artillery being Dc
T tanned at Laprairie was probably the mean
