ANOTHER MCLEOD TRANSAC-

.. 1lON.
Trouble seems to be brewing on the
frontier again. Another invasion of our
territory by the British agitators, has ia
ken place on the frontier. Will the
British government assume this act? We
shall see.
OUTRAGE ON THE CANADA FRONTIER.
The following extract is taken from
the st. Adams (Vt.) Messenger, in rela-
ton to the arrest and imprisonment of
an American citizen. For the sake Of
Victoria and her subjects, we hope it is
not cerrect.--Bah. Sun.
"Just as our paper is going to press,
we learn that most brutal outrage was
committed night before last in Alburgh.
The substance Of which is, twelve loyal
subjects of Queen Victoria came over
the line, two miles and hall, into the
town of Alburgh, and arrested Col. Gro
gan by force--bound him in chains, and
took him to Montreal, where he is doubt
less ere this lodged In jail. This infor-
nation we have from we'll known ac-
quaintance who saw him in chains at
MissiSquoi Bay, yesterday morning
This act, we trust, will be inquired into
by our government without delay"
In connection with the above, the
Philadelphia Ledger explains the recent
attempt to blow up Queen Vics armed
steam boats. There are more Let's than
the one in prison.
GREAT EXCITEMENT ON THE |
FRONTIER.
A transaction tsok place at Alburgh,
on the night of the 10Th, which has pro.
duced an unparalleled excitement on the
Frontier. James Grogan, who formerly
resided in Canada, but a natural born
citizen ofthe United States, while retur-
ming from Michigan TO Alburgh, was cap
tured by detachment Of British drag
oons, under Capt Jones. Grogan was
sleeping at the house Of his brother.in-
law-the soldiers surrounded the house,
forced it open, and entered Grogan's
bedroom, who defended himself against
his assailants until severely wounded in
the legs and thighs by bayonets. His
face was literally fayed, and his clothes
torn off. He was wrapped in buffalo
robe, thrown into wagon, carried across
the lines, and sent to Montreal in irons.
When this affair became known at St.
Albans, a public meeting was held, and
a committee was appointed TO examine
into the transaction, and report at subss-
queEt meeting to be held.
The correspondent Of the New York
American, writing from Niagara Falls,
says, that since the removal of the U. S.
army from Buffalo, attempts are being
made by the "PatriotS" to embrol tho
Two countries in a war. The recent al
Tempt to blow up two of Her Maiesty's
steam boats, lying at anchor in the Nj
lgara river at Chippewa, is attributed TO
Lett, the incendiary, who boastsd to Gov.
Seward of his attempts to produce mis-.
chief. The writer describes the nefari-
Gus attempts as follows:
The machine consisted OF two casks,
$50 pounds Of powder; they
were each placed on frame one hun
dred yards apart, (but connected by
rope) with leadsn pipe and fuse there
in inserted, and thus towed from Grand
Island, and sent drifting towards the yes
sci. One only of the casks exploded,
but, most fortunately, prematurely, being
300 yards short Of the mark! otherwise,
every soul on board, with the vessels,
must have been destroyed.
It was about 8 p. M. Those on board
at first supposed the report was hat Of
cannon. The men were speedily mus
tered, and the machine was seen floating
A boat with six men was lowered, and
whilst proceeding to secure it fired at
from Grand Island, but without injury.
