QUEBEC, November ga meeting. called
to express indignation at the execution Of
Riel, was held at Lewis to-day. 1t drew an
immense crowd. Efigies were burned, and
flags inscribed, "Glory to the Hero and
Martyr, Riel;" Death to Sir John Mac
donald" and "Hurrah for Riel," were dis
played. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. Hon. NJ. Pelletier was called upon
to speak and said that the war had been
opened by the Orangemen in Sherbrook, in
attacking the Nationalists, and here NJ.
Desejardens, Conservative member OF Par
lament, said the protest against the execu-
ton of Riel representing 800, 900 French
Canadians, was sent to the Government,
but was not recognized, and the threatened
rupture had now come between the Gov
ernment and the Province OF Quebec. He
reminded Sir John Macdonald of the burn
ing of the Parliament House in Montreal,
in 1S43, and latterly the scaffold OF Riel.
Other prominent men made strong
sPEECPEs AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
An indignation meeting at Quebec Center
last night was attended by 5000 electors.
Mr.. Rosse, member OF Parliament OF this
constituency, said he did not think the
Ministers deserved censure. He was not
allowed to speak further, and in the up
roar which followed was forced to retire.
Some threats were made against him, but
the influence of the committeeman
and the presence of q strongposse OF police
men prevented them from being carried out.
Ex-Mayor Owen Murphy, Messrs. Liemeux
and Fitzpatrick, Hon. 2. Carmen and
others addressed the meeting. The speakers
stated that the movement was directed
against Orangeism only and wanted it dis
tinctly understood that the question OF
Protestanism and Orangemen must not
Ho IaI nd %hoxv xuic boI tn in
peace in the future as they had done in the
past with the former denomination.
ANOTHER INDIGNATION MEETING
was held at Charlesbours, the constituency
OF Hon. Mr.. Caron, this afternoon. There
were 5000 persons present. In point OF
fOrcible speech and enthusiasm, the meet
ing almost surpassed anything OF the kind
vet held Sir A. P. Caron was loudly de-
nounced and imprecations were uttered
against him. He had been invited to be
present, but did not put in an appearance.
BEAUFORT tonight was also the scene OF an
indignation meeting, which was equally
as loud in the protestations and denuncia
tions as any OF the other meetings.

The long talked OF mass meeting at the
Champ de Mars, by the French Canadians,
was held this afternoon, about 10000 per.
sons being present. There were three plat
forms, at each OF which the French flag
floated. There were between thirty and
forty speakers, who, one and all, protested
in strong language against the action OF the
government in hanging Rel and called
upon all present to combine to
defeat the Government. Sir John Macdon-
aid was the special object of invective, his
action in the present instance being re-
garded by the speakers as a crime OF the
most culpable character, telegram was
received from Messrs. Boyd e. Murphy. of
the New York Irish Union, protesting
against Orange fanatcism and British bru-
tality, and wishing the French Canadians
success in the struggle. The following reso-
luton, among others, was passed unani-
mously, ''that in executing Louis Riel the
Government committed an act OF inhu-
manity and cruelty unworthy OF civilized
nation, and deser les the condemnation OF
all friends OF right and justice, without dis
tinction OF race or religion"
