The rANIclN CANADA.-The past week
has been one of terror and alarm through.
oul the lower province. A panic has sci.
zed upon all classes from Sir John Cole,
borne and his officers at Montreal, down
to the bow volunteers of St. Armand s.
While the people of the frontier, both in
this state and N. York, were in a state of
perfect quiet and repose, and had almost
ceased to converse on Canadian affairs.
they were suddenly surprised to hear that
Sir John Colbornc had stationed a large
corps of regular troops upon the frontier
of N. York, and was making every posi-
Bile effort to resist on invasion, which was
daily expected 10 be made from that state.
Rumors were spread through Canada and
were believed that the patriots hada force
5000 strong at Keesevlle and Flattsbrrgh
and were abundanlly supplied with all The
munitions of war.
The confidence with which these rumors
have been related 10 Canada the TACT that
they were at least apparently credited by
Sir John Colborne, and that he had sent
dispatches to that effect to Gen. Wool
and Governor Marcy, have led US to make
inquiries as 10 their truth.
We speak not without information on
the subject, and with the utmost conf
dence when we say-that these reports are
without any foundation in truth-that
there is no assemblage oe patriots any
where on this frontier, and that the good
people of Canada have not the slightest
reason to expect an invasion.
As soon as Gen Wool was informed of
these rumors, he dispatched one Of the Of
ficers of his staff TO Champlain, Platts
burgh and Keesville, and another to other
places where munitions of war were said
to be gathered, for the purpose of invesll-
eating the matter and allaying the excite

1t will be recolIected by our readers that,
in the course Of last autumn, Court of
Inquiry was held at Knoxville, in Tennes-

arduous trust confded TO him in the
Southwestern country. The result of that
trial, it is equally known to all, was most
honorable acquittal of that officer of all

UPPER CANADA,

The Buffalo papers inform US that bill
has passed the Parliament Of Upper Cana
da, confiscatiog the property, both real and
personal, of all persons who left the Prov
ince since the premeditated attack on
Toronto by the Patriots, and who do not
return forthwith, and take up arms for the
Colonial Government. The property con-
fiscated is to be appropriated in paying the
expenses of the war. One section dccar es
that 'no alien shall be permitted to prose.
Cute his business, or have his property
protected, unless he repairs to the Prov,
ihce, and also takes up arms"
The first section provides that MI such persons
as have voluntarily Withdrawn ihemse Ives from The
Province Of Upper Canada since the 81 Of Dec +,
p, or who shall leave during the rebellion, or who
have refused or sh, refuse 10 bear arms in the
service Of the Quren shall be declared aliens, and
incapable Of holding lands within The Province.
| The second section provides for an lnqnsilion to
return all such persons, and seize their lands for
the use Of Her Majesty.
, The third provides that no person, thus with
drawing hnselr-or who has or may refuse TO bear
in the service of Her Majesty, shall hold lands
or occupy them as tenant, or exercise any trade,
profession, or calling wha'soever-and that all
such persons, found within the Pr vince, shalt lie
subject 10 imprisonment at Her Majesty's pleas.
ure.
The fourth section enacts that such persons a,
have refused or shall hereafter refuse to serve the
Queen, by bearing arms, shall be incapable oil
holding any office, civil or military, in The Province
The fifth provides that the proof Of inability, on
account Of age. sickness, or infirmiiy, shall be a
the erpense of the defendant.
The sixth provides for the security of creditors
and Of liens and securities upon The confiscated
property.
IF this law is to be considered specimen
Of the slender mercies'' Of the Roya
Government in the Canadas, it will be
long before the murmurs Of Canadian dis
content will cease. The passage of thi
law will do more towards effecting revo
luton in the Canadas than any other &C
of Colonial Government during the pro
gress Of the present instruction.
