Reported Outbreak in Cdnddd--,AaotherI
Rtuotuiion.-From flying reports and ru
mors by passengers from Canada, II seems
probable that another serious outbreak has
occurred in that country between the people
md The government. The first funor of the
fact which we find is 10 The New York Sun
which gives reports, from passengers, OF
riots and bloodshed on the Lachine canal
The disturbances are reported by those pas
sengers as having occurred between The la

The following we clip from the Piusburg
Chronicle of Saturday
Rumor of q Patriot Outbreak in Cana
