Yet by many he was feared,
And by tue most, at least, respected

ASSAULT on AMERICANS By BRITISH TROOPS.
The Boston papers contain an account of a recent
outrage committed upon three American gentlemen
while OH their way from Bangor 10 Canada, which, il
true will only add to the excitement and bad feeling
already existing in that quarter. The account says
that Thomas F. Templeton, George Cady and John H
Kenwick were stopped near Madawaska by party oil
British armed soldiers, who insulted them and with.
ed down with blow from muskct, Mr.. Templeton
received n bavonet wound in the shoulder, and MIR
Kenwick trying to escape, received bullet in his
thigh. An officer then came up and checked further
hosttes. ~
The Boston Herald gives the following account oil

impairment questions to the object of his onr-

feelings of the people in relation to the burning OF
the Caroline Mr.. Tempeton said they were very
naturally indignant at such dastardly act and tina,
every true American warmly expressed hope that

mark than to request the leaders allow them free
and unmoles,ed passage. But four or FIVE of them
