IMPORTANT FROM TIE FROM
TIER.

The following important information,
respecting most unprovuked outrage on
American citisens, we copy from the Bos-
ton Morning Herald of The 1l,h inst.
We learn from gentleman who arrived
in ,hi. city las, evening al 12 o'clock, in
whose veracity we think we may depend,
that auo,her most cnwardy attack has
been committed on the Disputed Terrific
FN upon three American genllomen by
some fellows calling themselves mounted
patrolcs.' 1t seems that the gentlemen
above named, viz. Thomas F. Templeton,
George Cady and JohuH. Kenwick, were
proceeding from Bangor to Canada, and
on their arrival near Madawasca,' party
of armed British soldiers met them. Mr..
Cady INQUIRED ,of one Of the soldiers the
most direct road to take. lie gave him
the necessary information, when four
Others came up and asked MIR. Cady some
imperlinent questions as 10 the object Of
his journey. Mr.. e. replied very proper.
ly aud proceeded to turn The horses into
the road, when one of The squad stepped
in front of the carriage and asked what
the feelings Of the people were in relation
to the burning Of the Caroline. Mr.. Fem
pletou said they were very naturally lndiS-
nant at such dastarily aci, ant that eve
ry true American warmly expressed hope
that Mcleod, the leader Of the Offenders,
should suffer the severest punishment OF
the laws Of the country. elf Mcleod
burnt that old hulk" replied The soldier,
!" he deserves our thanks, and if hair of
his head isinjured, you, aud your damned
counlrymen, will be made to repent in
dust and ashes." The gentleman made
no other reply 10 this insolent remark than
to request the leaders to allow them free
and unmolested passage. But four or five
ofthe towards seized tile reins, and clarS-
ed the gentlemen as "sPies," and refused
10 let them pass unless they subjected
themselves TO search. The gentlnen
demonstrated upon this unparalleled pro
ceediug; aud as they were unarmed, not
havius even cape to protect themselves
with, they were unable to offer any resis-
tauce.. One Of the ruffians then seized
Mr.. Cady by bis coat aud attempted TO
null him from the carriage, the other two
gentlemen threw the soldier from The car
riage who fell PROSTATE in the road. The
whole party then came up and made
dreadful attack upon the gentlemen, during
which Mr.. Cady was knocked down witt,
the butt of the n,usket, aud MIR. Temple
ton received severe wound in the slloul-
der with a bayouet. Mr.. Kenwick attempt
ed to escape by running, but one of The
party fred upon him, and he received
hall in his right ihigh-he fell 10 the ground.
At this stage ofthe crisis one of the officers
came up, and checked further hos1illlies.
He Immediately procured assistance. and
had tho wounded gentleman conveyed to
the camp and medical aid Immediately
procured for him. After which they were
by their request taken TO the town from
which they last came, where deposition

Our informant states that the gentlemen
are ia fair way TO recover. He was to
have stnr,ed Tor Washington by the early
train via Worcester this morning.
