MILITIA GENERAL ORDER.


His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor has
received certain information that an extensive
conspiracy has been formed, by numerous un-
principled and rapacious inhabitants ofthe neigh
bouring friendly States, with view to force up
OIL the Province the domination of the said con-
spirators, and to visit the loyal inhabitants of the
Province with lawless wal, plunder and deVas-
tation.
The Lieutenant Governor in anticipation of
an adequate exhibition of force and activity on
the part of the government of the u. States who
continue to declare a most friendly disposition
towards Great Britain, has forborne to call upon
the loyal inhabitants of Upper Canada, 10 pre-
pare to defend in arms their institutions, their
families, and their homes but the Lieut. Gov
ernor now conceives that the time is come when
it would be unjust to Her Maesty's loyal peo.
pie, to risk the consequence of failure on the
part of the most friendly foreign government, to
preserve peaceable relations towards these col
onies and therefore, for the purpose of prevent
ing the apprehensions which might naturally
arise among peaceable population in the vcin-
ity of rapacious enemy, the Lieutenant Gov
ernor is induced to call out once more portion
of the gallant militia of Upper Canada, as vol
unteer force, in the full confidence and certainty
that the wicked and lawless designs of the public
enemy will he met by corresponding exhibition
of the loyal and gallant feelings which have al
ways distinguished Upper Canada, when en-
gagged in regular war, as we'll as when threaten
ed with aggression from pirates and brigands.
The Lieutenant Governor therefore will forth
with issue orders to some distinguished officers,
to call out portion of the militia of the pro-
vince.
The Lieut.. Governor assures the loyal inhab-
tants fthe province, that he is in full possession
of the designs of the enemy, who have nominal
ly many among them who have not forgotten
their allegiance to Her Majesty, or their duty to
their Canadian BRETHREN and only appear in the
ranks of the hrigands at present, to save them=
selves from insult and violence. BY command
of His Excellency,
Sir George arthur.
