Important from Montreal--the Patriot Leaders
BaniShed.-Montreal papers of Monday bring
the unexpected intelligence of the hanShment
TO Bermuda OF eight Of the principal Patriot len
ders, viz. Wofred Nelson, r. S. M. Bouchetle,
Bonaventnre Viger S. Marchessaut, l.. A. eau,
win, i. Godhue II. Des Rivieres and l.. u. Mas
son, until it may to Lord Durham or any of his
successors "appenr consistent with the pence and
tranquility of the province, by any act or nstru-
ment under his hand and arms" to permit their
return.
IN this instance the British Government have
resorted to Il mean and contempt lille trick which
any other government in The world would scorn
to be guilty of. Some ten or twelve days since,
special agent was sent by Lord Durham to the
prisoners in The Montreal jail, with the drafts OF
"a petition which lord Durham wished The pris-
oners to sign, for the purpose OF giving him some
color of an excuse to grant them an amnesty.
the petition signed accordingly by eight
of the prisoners, when behold this is tortured in
to an admission of guilt, and themselves con-
demned to punishment without even the form OF
n trial. If this does not open the eyes of
the Canadians to what they may expect
at the hands of the Dictator, we know not what
will.
A "Royal" Ordinance has also been issued

of Wier and Chartrand, who are to be brought to

Thus ends the farce ofthe promised amnesty,
which many honest People were dipped into be-
lieving that sincerely intended. The truth will
turn OUT To- be that Durham has fallen like all his
predecessors, into the hands of the high Tory
party in Canada--the blood hounds of the
Herald gang-and has been frightened from a
measure which he may have seriously intended.
That faction has for years been the real govern
ment of Canada.
The eight convicts destined for Bermuda left
Montreal on Monday evening for Quebec. Pre-
vious to their leaving, liberal contribution WIS
set foot that it is expected they will receive
about six hundred dollars each TO lprovide for
their necessities.
The 43d Regiment left Montreal for y Canada
on Saturday, at ten minutes notice. There are
now in U. Canada six Regiments of Regulars, be-
sides artillery and volunteers
The report that Navy Island had been taken
