CANADA WAR RENEWED.  We have to announce the important and thrilling intelligence that the Canadian population is again in arms, resolved to strike a blow for freedom. The news by last night's boat is, that a general and simultaneous rising of the French population on this side the St. Lawrence has taken place,and that several small posts bad fallen into their hands: they had made prisoners of the soldiers stationed at Napierville, and secured a considerable amount of arms and atuniunition. . .  St. John, it was believed, would be attacked last night by a strong force, estimated at seven or eight thousand. The utmost consternation prevailed at St. John's yesterday, and every means was put in requisition for the emergency. Capt. Price's sloop, the Daniel Webster, we understand, was not permitted -'leave the port. Several of our citizens went down last ning. This movement is said to be headed by Robert Nelson, Cote, Gagnion, Hotchkiss, and several. foreign military leaders. Of its results a few days will inform us; and this evening's boat will probably bring a pretty decisi%e indication.  All accounts speak of arms, ammunition, and men in abundance. May God prosper the right. Martial law is again proclaimed within the district of Montreal, and we shall doubtless be called to chronicle scenes of bloody on' rage  (From the Montreal Herald—Extra.) Monday Morning, Nov. 5, 1838. 'he events we have so often predicted are now matter of history—the Canadians have again risen in open rebellion, evidently under more efficient organization, and martial law was yesterday proclaimed in this province for the second time in the short space of 12 months. Most alarming intelligence reached town yesterday forenoon, that the whole country was in a state of insurrection, and that many loyalists have been murdered in cold blood in the county of Acadia. Further accounts but too plainly corroborated the previous rumour, and a considerable body of troops was despatched to that  county. The steamer Princess Victoria, which took over a detach. ment of the Royal Artillery on Saturday afternoon to Lapa raire, was twice set on fire by the rebels while at the wharf but fortunately escaped without much injury. The loyalists in Laparaire had ten minutes' notice to leave the village, and getting on board the steamer Britannia, they have arrived in town in safety. Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, a party of 300 rebels attacked the house of Mr. L. Brown at Beauharnois; and, after about twenty minutes' fighting, Mr. Brown, Mr. Ellice, jun., Mr. Norvai, Mr. Ross, and the other constitutionalists surrendered themselves prisoners. and-nothing more is at present known of their fate. Mrs. Ellice, Miss Balfour, and the other females in the house at the time, took refuge in the cellar during the engagement. Mr. Brown and Mr. Ross are both wounded. Yesterday forenoon an Indian woman, at the village of Caughnawaga, who was seeking for a stray cow, discovered a large body of armed men in the woodst and gave information of the circumstance to the Indians, who were then assembled at church. They immediately seized what arms they could procure, such as muskets, tomahawks, and pitchforks, and giving the war whoop, charged their foes, who scampered off as fast as they could, throwing down their arms as they fled. Seventy-five were taken prisoners, and brought into town handcuffed, by the Lachine Cavalry. A considerable number of arrests were made yesterday, among whom are L. M. Viger, the President of the People's Bank; D. B. Viger, an ex-Legislative Councillor, Chas. Mendelet, John Donegani, C. S. Cherrier, and a great many other leading rebels. The volunteers were ordered out, and vied with each other in doing their duty with alacrity. They were appointed to search every suspected house in the city and suburbs for al-ins, and they brought in a considerable supply. It was remarked that in Canadian houses theme were very few men to be seen, and it is supposed that they were nut far off. The gates at the different barricade were closed, and strong pickets placed to guard them. Res inforeeinents of troops were sent to various quarters of the district. At Beauharnois the rebels took possession of the steamer Brougham, on her way to Lachine with the mail on board. It is currently reported that during the engagement Mr. J. IN-'Donald, whilst leading on a party of dragoons against the rebels, was shot dead, five bullets having pierced his body. His xcellency Sir John Colborne arrived yesterday morning in the John Bull, and issued the following Proclamation :
