We understand that warrants will short
~ be issued for the coniscation and sale
Of the property belonging 10 such Ind!v'du-
ais as have been found guilty OF High lrea-
son. We believe that the confiscatIon
will not extend to the property OF refugees,
although some of them are wealthy, and
were the prime leaders in the rebelIions.
We have very little doubt that our SYM
pathising neighbours will make a mighty
fuss about the barhariiy and tyranny oil
the British Government in not only hang
ing and banishing a number OF individuals
guilty Of political crimes, but in also seIZ-
ing on the property requisite to support
their wives and families in their now I'M
protected state. To this we can reply,
that the confscaiion will prove little more
than a formal enforcement OF an Ordln-
ance, for almost all those who can be al
lecled by it, and who had any property
disposed oft long ago. But even ii the
law was TO be enforced TO the strict letter,
it would only be in imitation of the con
duct of the United States Government, and
particularly Of the Legislature of New
York, which passed acts of confiscation in
1879 and succeeding years.
We could multiply our references to
acts passed by the American legislatures
and enforced against loyalists, to prove
that the confiscation and sale of the proper
ty belonging to traitors in this province
that our exposition Of what was done by
rebels against l~oyaIisls during the wal of
Independence, will have The effect Of saw
ing numerous sympathetic groans and
tears in the United States, and Of reserving
the epithels of British oppression & tyran-
for some more suitable occasion than
the forthcoming confiscations in Canada.
We understand that convict dresses are
ordered for the traitors who are to be
banished to Botany Bay, and that the
transport which is to convey them is short
ly expected at Quebec. She will be we'll
so that the refugee patriots and
sympathising freemen in the States may
abandon their idea Of capturing her at sea,
and thereby liberating the seventy or
martyrs to liberty who will be pas
on board Of her. We know that
such was at one time intended, but we
dare say it will be found much easier and
safer to talk about it than to put it in exc

Almost every thing has been done by Ger
tain officials in Washington to suppress
the North American, and why should they
not crush Mackenzie's Gazette.
The result of these trials afford too much
consolation to the God forSaken tories Of

comes ont and insults the only honest and
philanthropic portion of the Americans in
these words: "Trihing in the extreme, as

GUMS! GUNS!! GUNS!!
Great Alarm on The Fronttert

SfN"t !" wv Wv W
The Montreal papers have discovered
handbills among the Volunteers Of a very
alarming character, which purport to have
been signed by Samuel Houston, offering
great inducements to the soldiers to desert.
II offering to purchase guns is any induce.
ment to desertion, it seems to argue but
little for the safety Of the tories along the
frontier. They certainly cannot depend
much on soldiers that could be so easily
induced to desert.
The 4th Of July preparations along the
lines have increased their alarm to a won
der(ul pitch. One Battalion of Grenadiers
the Royal Hussars-the 65th and list
foot and the first Royals-King's dragons,
&c. &c. have left Montreal for the Missis-
koui and OdeIltown frontiers in anticipation
of another Patriot movement. In addition
TO this force we would mention that Col.
Dyer's corps of 400 men have been station
ed in the vicinity of Missiskoui Bay for
some time past.
We suspect they contemplate giving
P~lattsburgh OIL New Orleans another drub-
binp.

SIGNS OF THE TINES.

Great numbers Of Emigrants from the
West Of Scotland are coming out 10 settle
in Upper Canada, bringing large quanlitie.
of goods. The apprehension of war with
brother Jonathan, seems TO have actua-
ted all concerned with the trade of the
North American Colonies to have an ex-
ira quantity Of merchandise on this side
of the Atlantic as soon as possible, This
is the opinion of the English journals.
Seven thousand troops are ordered 10
the East Indies. Three thousand to Can
ada; mark that. For what are 5000 more
troops ordered 10 Canada? For what hs,
the British Government sent out a large
quantity ofarms and 40 millions of cart
ridges? This ought to be an eye opener TO
the Yankees.

BRITISH HUMANITY.-Last fall when
the Glengarians arrived from Beauharnois
at st. Remy in the County Of Laprairie.
they made prisoner Of a. Mr.Grenier a mer-
chant Of that place. A little while after
they discharged two pistols on him, and
then they took all his clothes away leaving
him completely naked, and finally leaving
him for dead, after having taken with
them his watch and all his money. Two
charitable women, although tories. pick
ed up the body brought it 10 their house
and secreted it, so that the ~bloodhounds o(
volunteers should not find il. He was still
alive. Nj. Grenier had not been long in
the house Of those kind women, when the
Glengarians came and asked from the wo-
men to give up Mr.. Grenier. The women
replied they knew nothing about him.
Whereupon the volunteers searched the
house, found Mr.. Grenier, undfessed his
wounds which the kind women had dress
ed, and never left the house till they were
sure that Mr.. Grenier was entirely dead
from the loss Of blood.

same place were stripped of their clothes by

for its most infamous productions. The

The name of the Montreal Herald con-
nected with any article is sufficient to
damn it in the eyes Of every candid Ameri-
can.
"The conduct Of the Canadian habitants,
to the unfortunate passengers on board the
John Bull, was of a description which re-
fleets the utmost disgrace upon their an
Gent character for good feeling, humanity,
and hospitality.
"As an instance oftheir misconduct, one
gentleman, who was clinging to the stern
of the John Bull, cried to some habitants
in a canoe for assistance; but they cruelty
refused TO comply with his requst, unless
he would promise to give them ten dollars.
Another OF the passengers asked for a glass
of water, but was harshly told that there
was plenty in the river. And, shocking to
state, il is said that such was their avidity

Our readers may remember that in Mr..
Decoigne's biography, which was given in
| No. s., it was stated that it was believed
that the Catholic Clergy of both Canadas
were consulted as to the victims to be ga
crifced. We shall now offer proof 0 fthal
assertion. When the trial Of the prisoners
of St. Cesaire was going on before the
Court Martial, witnesses were heard for
and against the prisoners. The Catholic
priest OF the parish by the name of Lamare
was also sworn. His testimony was favo-
rable to each of the prisoners, but as soon
as he had finished his evidence, the presi-
dent Of the Court Martial ordered the room
to be cleared, the prisoners 10 be removed
and the priest to remain alone with tho
Court. He remained closeted with them
about three hours when he came out, he
made ajesuiticat and hypoeritical bow to
the unfortunate prisoners he met on his
way. Although these men were innocent
of any participation in the Instruction, and
the testimony subslantiated that fact,
still they 1cere sentenced 10 Death. We
leave our readers TO decide whether the
assertion has not been proved.
