Carleton writes to the Boston Journal
from Montreal on Sunday:
This has been one of the most exciting
days ever known in Montreal All of the
volunteer forces are under arms and in
motion. The 30th Regulars left Cornwall
early this morning. A cabinet meeting
was held yesterday at Ottawa. One hun
drcd and thirty -four companies Of the vol
unteer force in Upper and Lower Canada
are called out. The Fusileers from Que
bee will be here to night. One ship of war
lies in the stream, and two more are COM

their wounded. Colonel Booker seems not
to have known what he was about. The

censured. The regulars and artillery were
not far in his rear. but there seems to have
