Of the country the industry, capital skill ana enter
prise of worthy men Of all nations
For the attainment Of these important opJects, the
Patriots now in arms under the standard OF liberty
on NAVY ISLAND, u. c., have establshe PIo-
visional Government, of which the members are as
follows with two other distinguished gentlemen,
whose there powerful reasons i0r wisnnod-
ing from public vlew,) viz.
WILLIAM L. MACKENZIE
Chairman pro tenn.
Nelson Gorham Adam Graham,
Samuel I.eunt John Hawk,
Slas Fletcher Jacob Rynall,
Jesse LIoyd. William II. Doyle,
Thomas Darling, A.G.W.G.Van Egmond
Charles Duncan,
We have procured the important aid OF Gen. Van
Rensselaer, Of Alban6 of Col. Sutherland, Col. Van
EDMOND, and other military men OF experience and
the citizens of Buffalo, 10 their eternal honor be u
ever remembered have proved 10 us the enduring
principles of the revelation of l776, by supplying
with provisions, money, arms, Ammunition artillery
and volunteers, and vast numbers are hoatlng to the
standard under which, heaven willing, emancipation
will be speedily won for new and gallant nation,
therto held IN Egyptian thradom by the arstocracy
of England.
Brave CASADrANs! Hasten JOIN that standard,
and TO make common cause with your fellow citizens
now in arms in the Home London and Western Dis
trcts. The opportunity of the absence of the hired
redcoats of Europe is favorable to our EMANCIPATION.
And short sighted is that man who does not now
see that although his apathy may proIract the con-
from European thradom forever
Until independence is won, trade and industry will
be dormant houses and lands will be unsaeable mer-
chanrs will be embarrassed, and farmers and me-
ehanics harrasssd and treabed; that point once
gained, the prospect is fair and cheering, long day
of prosperity may be ours.
The reverses in the Home District were owing,
first, TO accident, which revealed design 10
tyranis, and preeen,ed surprise-and secondly to
The want of artillery. $500 men came and went, bgt
we had not arms for one in twelve OF them, nor
could weprocure them In the country.
Three hundred of the rest Of the public lands
will be freely bestowed upon any volunteer who
snail assist personally in bringing TO conclusion the
glorious struggle in which our youthful country Is
now engaged against the enemies of freedom all the
world over.
Ten millions of these lands fair and fertile, will
trust be speedily at our disposal with the other vast
resources Of country more extensive End rich in
tural treasures than the United Kingdom, or Old
France.
Citizens! Soldiers of Liberty! Friends of Eqsal
ghts let no man suffer in his property, person
tate-let US pass through Canada not TO retaa,e on
others for estates through Canada not to rcaate
others, for estates ravaged, our trends in dun
geons, homes burnt, our whaet and barns burnt,
and oar horses and cattle carried off; but let show
the praise worthy example of protecting the houses,
the homes, and the families Of those who are in arms
against their country and against the Liberties of this
continent. Wo will disclaim and severely punish all
aggressons upon private property and consider those
hut in Canada, unless necessity compel any one 10
do any cause for self defence.
Whereas, At time when the King and Parliament
of Great Britain had solemnlv agreed to redress the
grievances OF the people, Sir Francis Bond Head
sent out to this country with promises of Cancellation
and iustce-and whereas, the said Head hath viola |
every vestige Of rlghghts and privileges, brbed
and corrupted eur legislature, inlerfered with the free
dom of elections inundated the reehoders, declared
our country not entitled to the blessings of British
o,al L. thsv Uht IF rrol hx,
placed in office the most obsequious ueacherous and
unworthy Of our populaton-and sought TO rule Up
per Canada by the mere force OF his arbitrary power
imprisoned DR.. Morrison, Mr.. Parker, and many 9TH
ers of our most respected citizens, banshing in the
highly respected speaker Of the late House of Assem-
bly the Honorable Mr.. Bldwell and causing the ex-
patraton Of that universally beloved and well tried
eminent patriot, DR.. John Roph, because they had
setting vast price on the head of several if they
were guilty persons-for which crimes and INSIDE
meanors he is deserving Of being put upon his trial
befo.e the country-I do hereby Offer q reward of
FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS for his apprehension
so that he may be dealt with as may appertain TO
justice.
In Lower Canada. divine providence has blessed the
Of the Sons Of Liberty whole people there

perry is but phantom, and life worth having

mined democrats.
The friends Of freedom in Upper Canada have con.
tnued act in strong and regular concert with Mr..
Papineau and the Lower Canada Patrio,s-and it is a
pleasing reflection that between and the ocean, pc
