and the black volumes of smoke
which told of another act OF

before them, giving a true YER

DisgracefM , DIsGRAcEFuL I !! The
murderer John Prince, Colonel in Her
most humane Britannia Maiesty's service
In II. c. has been acquitted of the charges
brought against him by Colonel William
Elliot and others, for having murdered
the prisoners taken at Windsor on
The 18th of December last. Col. Elliot
was dismissed the service, while the savage
md brutal Prince is complimented by His
ExceIlcncy Sir George Arthur, who. JUS
Mites summary proceedings to,cards priS>
Dners in extreme cases Of necessity Ne
eessity was Lord John Russel's plea,
when he submitted to the Imperial ParIia-
ment eight coercve resolutions robbing the
canadian exchequer,-in consequence Of
thc inpuity Of these resolutions. the Cana
dams felt the necessity Of rising against
their government. The same plea was
made for depriving the Canadians of their
Unconstitutional government and submitting
them to the dictatorship Of the irascible
Durham and the bloody Coborne,- the
Fesult was, the people again reSorted to
arms, to get rid of such odous tyranny.
Arthur says it was necessity that compell-
III him to sign the death warrant ofour
beloyed friends, Lount and Matthew'S
consequence of these judicial murders,
great numbers Of those who were formerly
pcaceable reiormers, now feel the necessity
Of a separation from Great Britain. The
burning of Mr.. Montgomery's house, by
Head and the conduct of the monster Col
borne in destroying by fire so many fonr-
ishng and thriving villages were justified
upon the plea of neeessity,-we hear al
most daily Of incendiary Attempts in both
Provinces, the consequences of such a su-
iedal conduct as the governments have
pursued in both the Canadas. The bru-
tality of Sir John aud Sir George will re-
Enact in the Canadas the same scenes as
are now getting between the Carlist
nd the Queens troops in Spain. The
II people must learn that they have no
Quarter to expect, courage and despair
bnited will yet accomplish the wishes of
Ail Patriots-Miss Vic and aer bTutes to

For many wears m consequence Of the diffusion
Of philsnthropic and christian notions. the public
has not been shocked with the b'deous spectacle
Of seeing men-our fellow creatures created IN the
image Of God. treated as Wild beasts aud brufes,
exposed To the pIllcrv or burned IN The hand with
a rcd-hot iron. The enity introduced by discreet
Judges IN our penal code had been approved Of by
every one We faitcr ourselves that the Judges

practice followed for many years with the sole OBJ
Jet Of impressine upon the guilty he enormty Of
their offences in the ewes Of the law and society
and We hope the Executive will interfere with It's
prerogative to prevent public feeling and public
opinion being so brutally outraged as they would
be, if the sentences pronounced last Saturday,
were carried into execution. This Country has

The news is worth telling to-day. 1t
will please you well. am credbIy in
formed that Sir George Arthur's wife and
family are to leave Toronto Immediately
for England that their travelling bag
gage is packed up; that they will travel
thro' the States and that Sir George
thinks he will soon be called to perform
active duties as as military officer. Mr..
Attorney General Hagerman is going to
England, to be out of the way Of danger,
and do what he can to sustain lettering
toryism in Canada. Mr.. Hamilton Mer-
rift who was loyal so long as England
would lend money by the hundred thou
sand pounds at a time, and leave him to
do the lingering of it, has Of late become
sensible that the bank was shut-that the
Toronto exchequer would never again be
replenished from that quarter; and of
course that it was his time to begin reform
ing when nothing further in the way of
jobs was to be had for loyalty. "Hami-
tons has therefore introduced a string of
resolutions quite democratic, and Sir Geo.
tells the Assembly, who are passing them,
that they are as bad as those you used to
uphold. He is about to send the hon.
members about their business, and there
is great uproar over al Toronto. All
this will end as it ought to have ended in
81. The tory Loyalty has cooled off, and
the republican fever burns ghtly.-Cor.

Sir F. b. Head has notified Lord Mel
bourne that in consequence of the accusa-
tons brought against him in Lord Dur
hams Report, he will now publish his
correspondence with the Colonial Depart
ment, in order TO enable the British people
to judge correctly of the policy of Her
Malesty's Government in the British North
American Colonies, and OF the "Sperma
cet for an inward bruise" recommendation
of the Report. The truth Of the charges
brought against Bond Head by the Radi
Gals Of U. c., Of corruption and venaity
in the returns Of members of the Legsla
ture is also admitted in this Report. When
rogues fall out, honest men get their o,cn.

TREAsoNABLE. At time when British
policy requires the combined aid of Press
and People to deceive the world, language
like the following from the Montreal Her
aid is peculiarly dangerous.
eff all the inhabitants Of both provinces
were British and loyal, the task OF preserv-
ing this province from the United States
would be sufficiently arduous. Possessing
more than twelve times our population,
trained early and habitualIy to the use of
arms, and crafty by nature and practice,
having within itself manufactures of arms
and ammunition, and lying close on a
frontier, the line of which to a great ex-
tent is ideal while, on the contrary, our
population streaks thinly vast territory,
is not so conversant with arms, is separa-
ted from its great protectress by 5000 miles
Of ocean, and utterly excluded from aid
during five months Of the year our situa-
ton ought, in the case supposed, to he
sufficiently hazardous. The State Of N.
York alone ought to be greatly an over
match for us. The absence of a cause
sufficiently exciting to send in upon US, en-
masse, the militia of the neighborng States,
has alone made the defence of the provinces
comparatively easy. But, unfortunately,
the population Of both provinces is lar from
what we have, for the sake Of argument
supposed. The Canadian population is,
almost to man, disloyal and would rise
upon us, in case Of war with the-United
States, with (erocity and mercIessness,
created and mpeIed by the recollection Of
defeat"

describes the effects which war would
produce on the people of Great Britain:
Taxes upon every thing which enters
into the mouth, or covers the back, or is
placed under the foot taxes upon every
thing which it is pleasant to see, hear, feel,
smell or taste taxes upon warmth, light
and locOmotion ;-taSes on everything on
earth, and the waters under the earth -
on every thing that comes from abroad or
is grown at home takes on the raw ma
teral taxes on every fresh value that is
added to it by the industry of man takes

tite, and the drugs that restored him 10
health ON the ermine which decorates
tie Judge, and the rope which hangs the
criminal: on the brass nails of the coffin,
and the ribands of the bIde at bed, or
board, couchant or levant, we must pay.
The schooI-boy whips his taxed top !;
the beardIess youth manages his taxed
horse with taxed bride, on a taxed road :;
and the dying Englishman, pouring his
medicine, which has paid seven per cent,
into spoon which has paid twenty per
cent, makes his will on an eight pound
stamp, and expires in the arms of an apoth-
cary, who has paid license Of an hundred
pounds for the liberty OF putting him to
death. His whole property is then imme-
diately taxed from two to ten per cent.
Besides the probate, large fees are demand
ed for burying him in the chancel his
virtues are handed down to posterity on
taxed marble ; and he is gathered to his
fathers to be taxed no more.

BREACH OF NEUTRALITY. G.

BREACH OF NEUTRALITY. George
Stanton West, an American citizen resi-
ding in Alburgh, Vt. was arrested on the
the 10Th Of March, by Marshall Lowry, ta-
ken to Williamstown, examined before
Judge Paine, on charge Of d" fitting out
or preparing the means for military ex-
dedilion or enterprise to be carried on from
Alburgh, against the peace of her Majesty's
loyal subjects, "-tbe pirates of L. c., on
the night of Goth Of Deer. last. The evil
dences against him consisted of three aflida-
davts from as many Of Vicloria's subjects
residing on CsIdwelPs Manor. The Judge
ordered him to find recognizances in the
exorbtant sum OF $4,000 for his appear
ance at Windsor, Vt. at the session of the
L. S. District Court on the 21st May
next-and for want thereof, was committed
to Montpelier Jail Comment upon the
operation of such one-sided, unjust
law Is unnecessary, when McNab and his
plratical crew for a far more aggravated
outrage, than the one Of which this unfor-
tunate old man is accused, have received
all the rewards possible at the hands Of the
British Government. We think the same
result will attend this trial as have already
attended others for violations of the same
law, before the freemen Of Windsor
county.

GENTLEMEN-HaviDg been credbIy in
formed that a warrant has been issued by
one, signed by another, and placed in the
hands OF the other of you for the purpose
of arresting and obiging me to procure
bail for my appearance at the Circuit
Court of the United States; to be holden
at Windsor on the 21st day Of May next /;
then and there to be tried on suspicion Of
violating the neutral laws of the United
States.
These are to inform you Gentlemen,
that circumstances connected with my
private affairs, [my property having been
plundered and burnt myself and family
driven destitute TO the United States by
his Erceucncy Sir John CoIborne, render
it inconvenient for me at the present mo-
ment to be put to the trouble and expense
OF going to Williams Town, for the mere
purpose Of entering into bail for my APP
pearance at Windsor, when can just as
well save myself the expense, and my
friends the trouble, by appearing at Wind
sor on the time aforesaid, "on my own
hook" without the aid ofMarstal or Mi
