WARM OUR MIDST!
Ats an early hour on Monday m orning,
the 18th instant, two large Schooners
were discovered lying off in the river
about midway between this and Prescott.
The belief soon became prevalent tha.
they were loaded with Patriot force,
with arms, provisions and all the other
necessary implements of war.
J Such seems TO have been the case, as
the force has proved to be PdtriOt force
indeed, and their actions since Yesterday
morning show cCnciusively that they had
arms and knew how to use them. The
excitement now became general, in our
village, and business was literally at q
ID III In tIh hp
movements and each had a curiosity TO
crafty which the signs of the times told
plainly would not long remain unsdtisiied.

beligerent forces on Monday, We take
the following from an extra issued from
