THE REBELLION IN CANADA.
Affairs in Lower Canada are assuming a most
interesting aspect. VVe have licen disposed to
tbink thalthe royalist journals were disposed to
exaggerate the danger ol any general movement,
with a view to induce the more prompt A effective
intervention of the Government, to gel rid of the
refractory spirits engaged in instigating rebellion.
By the latest accounts, however, it would appear,
that the whole province is in a alate of alarm. A
numbsi of the Banks of Montreal have despatched
a large quantity of specie to Quebec, ss a
measu a of necessary precaution in the event
of an attack upon the foimer city. “Little
as may betne real danger,” says the Courier
ol tlie 27th ulii no, “of anything like a suciess
t'ul attack upon Montreal tiiis winter, the piecau
non is one which nobody can blame.”
A report, indeed, was current in Montreal on
Hunday night last growmgoul oflne well known
preparations of the week previous, and the stale
client that a grand meeting of the malcontents
was to beheld early on that day.in the county of
theffwo Mountains —that an attack upon the city
was to be apprehended during the night. Strong
guards of the volunteer Imtralion —which now
number more than 2000 men—were accordingly
posted on every avenue leading to the city. The
rumor proved lo be groundless, but its currency
indicates that there must have been good giounde
for apprehension.
We notice in the Montreal papers a card under
date of the 24th instant, calling a general meet
ingonthe 28th ull. of all Ihe inh.bitanta of
Montreal and its vicinity of American orgin. The
occasion of this call is the existence of a belief
among the disaffected of Canada, that the attempt
to shake offlhe authority of Her Majesty’s Gov
ernment meets whit Ihe sympathies and is likely
to receive the support ol the people ol the United
Slates. The purpose of the signers is to exp ess
ihcir conviction that the report alluded lo is uu
foundeJ, and lo declare the determination of lend
ing their aid in support of Her Majesty’s Govern
ment, and the inainlaiiianee of tuc laws. To this
call are appended about eighty names.
We are disposed lo consider ibis affair of a I
more serious nature than we at first imagined.
The insurrection seems to be general among the
French Canadians. Many reports and rumors
are in circulation, and in consequence of the de
struction of the bridges, and the cutting off ofthe
usual means of communication, there seems to
have been great difficulty in obtaining at Montre
al intelligence that cunld he relied on as authentic.
Lieut. Weir, of the 32d, is said to have been
captured by Ihe in urgenla and shot in altempl
ing to escape. Captain Marsham of the 32d,
received four wounds in the affair at St. Dennis,
and was brought up to Montreal on tha evening
•f Friday the 24th; he is now considered out of
danger.
Montreal papers confirm the accounts received
by the way of Burlington, of Ihe late affair of St.
Dennis. To this we have now to add, the tak
ing of Bt. Charlea. It wouM appear that both
the villages. Si. Dennis and St. Charlea have
lieen destroyed. We annex particular of the
taking of St. Charles—being the Islesl intelli
gence from Canada —copied from the Montreal
Courier of Monday the 27th ult.
DESTRUCTION OF THE VILLAGE OF
BT. CHARLES.
Satuboat, Not. 26.
In the above narrative, we have noticed only
Ihe movements in the direction of Sorel. On
Wednesday night, aa we stated in our last, Lieut.
Col. Witherall left Ohamlily for St. Charles at
Ihe same hour at which Col. Gore left Soiel.—
The force under his command consisted of mui
companies of the Royals, and one or two compa
niss of the 66th, with two pieces of artillery under
Captain Glasgow, and about 20 Cavalry undo
Captain David. Immediately on their crossing
the basin to the east side of the river, blue lights
fired by the rebels gave notice of their march li
the lower town. Tha troops proceeded, encoun
tering the worst of weather and roads, through
the night, and through the forenoon of Thursday
till on arriving at Kouville, seme six or seven
miles from St. Charles, they found a bridge ot
considerable size removed, and were forced to bi
vouac (here fur the night.
The next day appears to have been spent in
getting up a new bridge, refreshing the troops,
and obtaining information. Major Ward with
the Grenedirr Company of the Royals from St.
John’s, also joined toe main body—we believe,
during that day. Major W. bad reached the
Chamhly too lata to j-un in the march, and had
thereupon taken the caution to procure scows and
batteaux for the conveyance of Ins company
down the River In Rouville, by which means they
arrived at that place, fresh and well prepared fur
service.
During the whole of this lime, tke communica
tion by despatches with Chambly and Montreal,
was extremely irregular, most of those -enl out
towards Rouville being driven hack, and little or
no news being brought in from that quarter. All
sorts of reports, of course, prevailed by turns. —
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. M’Gillis of the Mon
treal Cavalry, who had carried out despatches to
Chambly the day before, returned lo town with
intelligence received there just before he left.—
From this it appears on what we have reason to
believe the heat authority, that on Sai unlay af
ternoon, about 2 I*. M. Lieut, Col. Woiheiall
reached and took Kit. Charles, with little or no
toss to hia own force, hut with a loss of 100 or
more killed, and above 200 prisoners to its defen.
dots. Among the killed or taken, the names of
Mr. T. 8. Brown and • 'harlta Drolel are men
tioned, but ihis statement wo believe, rests as ye 1
only on oral testimony, and perhaps requires cun.
finnation.
We understand that the capture was effected
with great ease. Mr. Brown had formed lines of
defence on three sides of the village, viz: along
the river, and in the directions of Chambly and
St. Dennis. On the fourth side was riling ground,
which ha had reserved for occupation by a body
of his om mot), in ejw> of neeev-Uy, and tvfckh
commanded the village. Cel. Wetherall having
i learned something of his preparations, msdw a
detour lo the right, and coming in from this un.
> peeled quarter, look immediate possession o
ihis ground, acting from which heal once sue'
ceedi-d >n dislodging tha rebels from their sup'
pose nlro igliold.
Toe village of St. Charles in stated t«
have been totally destroyed in the attack, the
houses and barns generally having been tireu
by the discharge, we presume, ol rockets or
hot shot from the artillery. A blight ligtr
seen last night in that direction, from the ci
ty, and also from the deck of the British Ame
rica sou c distance dawn the r.ve < un her way
up, strongly confirms ttie r. port, though in
deed it is hardly one that require* confirma
tion.
Os the course taken by Col. W. tiller this
affair, we have no certain information. Up
to a late hour last night, we believe mi U»
patches had been received direct from him,
tael easily accounted for by the disturbed
s.ste of the country, w'vch renders then
transmission extremely difficult. Tha report
brill’ in via Ullambly; we believe, Mated that
the main body ofthe fugitives had taken the
direction of St Hilaire, followed, as we un
derstood, by Col. Wetherall. To this report,
so far as the former are concerned, we can see
no objection, on the score of probability.
The route to St. Hilaire was open to
them, and the reported presence of a large
body of their adherents si Point Oliviee,
still nearer Chambly, may have induced them
to take it. o tar us tint Colonel is concer
ned, we are half inclined to question it A
bright lig t was seen last evening in the di
reelion of St. Denis, between 7 and 8 o'-
clock. would seem to raise the presumption
that that village was then suffering the same
fate with Bt. Charles, and doubtless front the
same hands. A short time will determine
ihe correctness or incorrectness of the sur
mise.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The return of killed and wounded in the
affair of St. Ddms, we understand to be as
follws ; 1 seigeantnnd 1 private of the 24th,
3 privates of Ihe 3‘Jd, and we believe two
privates of the 66th I tiled ; 5 men ot toe 320
and 24th wounded, one of them dangerously.
VVe believe the above cat-male of the woim’
ted does not include Capl, Markham, nor yet
those who are sl'glt ly hurt.

known lo he much greater. Report places

FROM LOWER CANADA.
The Montreal Herald of Tuesday, lira 28th
mal.ia receiv d. VVa ban find in it no confirm
ation of, or even allusion to, any such affair as is
spoken of in the riloniing papc.s of Ihis day, on
the authority of letters from B|. Albans, Vcimont,
and in which the British troops are said to have
been defeated at Bt. Charles, un Sal unlay night.
It any such affair had taken place, it would sure
ly be known in Montreal on Monday night.
A peis'un who left till Charles on Monday
morning: slates that he saw 125 bodies of the in
surgents buried on Saturday nig it, and there
wers many remainlhg unburied; many bodies
vere burned in tha conflagration of the build
ings.
Tha number of woumlsd among thk insurgents
is said to lie 300.
Os the troops three were killed and eighteen
wounded—ten ol diem severely.
The Herald elates that the number of insur
gents killed it estimated at 1000.
Col, Wetherall was obliged to release hie pris
oners, having no provisions for them.
The in-urgent force is stated la have been- be
tween 3 and 4000.
Lieutenant Weir, of the 32nd regim nl, who
wa< taken pri-oncr by Hie insurgents before the
battle ofSl. Clnnles, was alterward killed at 81.
Dennis,and his head was set upon a pole.
Mr. Papii.au was at Bt. Marc, on the other
side of the river, duri ig the engagement at 81.
Charles, and is believed to have made his escape.
It is evident that the accounts from St. Albans
cannot lip true. They stale,
1. That the information was obtained fmin
. passengers who lefi Montreal on Monday even
ing. But we have ihe Montreal papers of Tues
day morning, giving no such information.
2. That lira "rumor’ of ihe defeat of the in
auigcnts at Bt. Charles has proved untrue. Bui
we have the official despatches of Colonel Welh
erall, showing thai it istiue, with all the parti
culatt.
3. That lira British troops attacked the insur
gents at St. Charles on Saturday night, at 11
o’clock, and were repulsed, Ihe action continuing
until 6 o’clock on Bunday morning. But we
know that die attack was made at about 11
o'clock on Saturday morning— that before 3
o’clock that afternoon St. Charles was destroyed,
the insurgents had retreated upon St. Dennis—
and the British troops, alter the engagement, had
withdrawn leisurely to Rouville, the point from
which they advanced upon St. Charles. More
over, we have the testimony of a person who an
at St. Chailes on Monday morning, when noth
ing of the kind had taken place.
We make the billowing extracts from the Mon
treal Courier extra, date half past levsn f*. M.
Monday. October 27.
The interment of the dead was Ihe work of the
victorious troops. The leaders who had br.-ught
hese misguided men into the snaia in which
hey were thus taken, were not Ihe men who
oertormed the fast riles es humanity fur the re
trains of ihcir unhappy victims.
About sixty prisoners we understand to have
ncen taken; but few or nona among thtm are of
note. —T. S. Brown is thought to have fled in
iha direction of Si. Denis,
The occupation of the village of Si. Charles
was, as has been already staled, complete. Its
defenders were all placed hors da combat-, those
not killed or taken seeking refuge in flignt. On
Sunday, Col. W; fell back leisurely upon Rou
ville The reports relative lo St. Denis and St.
Ours, wnich have licen current during the day,
are therefore unfounded,
The spirit with which the defenders of the
village fired upon the troops in the first instance
may he gathered from the fact that Col. Wellrai
all, Major Ward, and Capt. David’s horses were
all wounded, and we believe disabled.
We have authority lo slate that all eligible
persons wishing to volunteer lor six months'
military service, will receive Is. per day «nd
rations—applica'ion to lie made to the command
ing officers of the volunteer corps. All men who
want work also, by applying to the same officer,
will lie employed in funning harriers, upon being
approved of by ihe engineer officer.
VVe understand that a force of a thousand vol
unteers is on the point of lieing raised in Quebec,
for the defence of the city, in order to allow of the
departure of more troops from the garrison for
se vice in the dial u -lied districts. Tie officers
are slated to ha already appointed. This ia well.
Montreal raises mure than doable lira number,
however.

Direct vrom Sr. Charlk*.—A very intelli
gent gentleman who left Swanton this morning,
bring u- newt direct from St Charles lo 10
o clmk A, M. and from Bt. Mary’s, 14 miles froa
St. tha..es, to 5 o'clock P. M. on Saiuiday. Up
to Ihe hour he left St. Charles no attack had been
made on that post, nor was any cannonading
heard at St. Mary’s at 6 o’clock. The patrioi
fore* on Saturday was known to be 4000 at St.
Charles, and 1600 at St. Denis, with houry ac
quisitions of men and munitions. The govern
nient force, supposed to be 700 strong, then lay
between St. Charles and St. Denis. This is un
doubtedly the first detachment that lefi Montreal.
In regard lo the second delachmen , our informant
saya a report wai current that they (landed at
Longuntl, with the intention of reaching St.
Charles by land; but that they were assailed by
the inhabitants from the bush and road side, and
finally driven hack to Lnngueil. This, however,
he gives as report only. But, certain it is thst
this detschment had not been hesid of in the
vicinity of St. Charles. T. S. Brown irommsnds
the pslriot forcss in person, and is said to he in
high spirits.
Our informant also gives ns the official patriot
report of Ihe St. Denis engagement, which varies
from our former report only in this; that the loy
alists lost about Jlfty in killed and wounded, and
the Canadians hut seven. The loyalists left be.
hind them, thiiteen wounded, two piecds rtf can
non, 100 cannon balls, and a considerable quanti
ty of other munitions. It seems the attack was
unexpectedly made upon the troops, from the
windows and doors of Ihe housCv, with most
deadly effect ; and hardly had they brought their
guns to bear upon the enemy in front, before
thev were aUaeked in the rear, and finally com
pelled to retreat in great confusion. Several of
Ihe soldiers slain it is said were thrown into lira
liver, and were afterward found by lira patriots
with ihcir accoutrements upon them. This is
the patriot version at St. Charles.
Onr informant is a very intelligent gentleman,
who lias good means of information, and who,
we heliete, has stated to us truly what he believes
to he the facts; —from all which it would appear
that the loyalists have placed themselves iff a
false position, and if they ever return to Mon
treal again, they will, lo say lira least, he very
fortunate.
We understand that most or all the roads on
the line are guarded by loyal militia and that ev
ery person who passes is closely scrutinized.
Several persons have been refused permission lo
cross the line with Ihcir projwity; and some have
come without it.

We have just received tbs following txtra from

Sentinel Orncx, J
Burlington, Nov. 20th, 1537. 5
Our Canadian correspondent, in a letter dated
at Montreal, Nov 27, saya—
“The Canadians are rallying. There ia very
little faith to be put in the government papers—
lying is now their peculiar parogative—since lira
opposition papers are stopped. The Canadians
are said lo he rising in various parts.
••The city is under arms—soklieis patrolling ths
streets, inti business at a stand. No one talks of
guy thing sa«s ‘the news f.oia the seat of war.’ ”
Still later ran* tKb scene ot War ir
Canada.
Ae far aa we can hear from all quarters and on
Imth s des of Ihe question, there lies not as yet
any decided advantage been gained hy the royal
ists, nut on the contrary a letter had been received
ai Swanton, dated Monday morning 27th inst.
fr "in Gen. Brown, in which he says that they
Were attacked by the troops on Saturday, and
were nnnnentardy repulsed, but lira Patriots ral
lied «nd concentrated upon the point snacked, and
compelled tbe royal troops lo retreat.
The patriots followed here advantage, and the
result was that the troops were driven in great
confusion to the woods, with the loss of many
killed and wounded. It appears from all wo can
learn thst the news in the Montreal Morning
Coulter, is much exaggerated, if not wholly un
true as it regards the sflair of Saturday, indeed
such it their insulted condition that il is not lo
be wondered at.
In the letter from Gen. Brown lo Dr. Cota at
Swanton, the plan for tha future operations of
lira patriots, was, for the troops under the Com
mind of Dr. Cote, lo march immediately for
Montreal, in the esse the patriots wars victorious
at St. Charles, and the probability is, that Mon
treal, if nut already, will within 48 hours fall into
Ihe hand* of the patriots.

SECOND POBTCRIPT.
Ws are indebted lo the editors of tits Ameri
can for tha subjoined slip from the Burlington
Free Press, our own not having arrived. As be
fore, wa give it for what il is worth—but it ia
certainly very extraordinary that such events
should happen at St. Charles on Sunday Morn
ing, and lo lie entirely unknown at Montreal on
Monday night. Surely some few ofthe flying
troops must have reached the city—their obvious
place of refuge—hy that time—a distance of leas
than 30 miles.

therefore adopt it lor the present occasion.
"Dear Sir—The glorious news has just arrived
here, which may ho implicitly credited, that at
11 o’clock on the evening of the 26th insl. the
regular ami volunteer British fo.ccs, 1200 strung,
made an unexpected assault upon the fort at St.
Charles, abou 35 miles from Montreal.
The assault was urged and resisted with the
greatest obstinacy and must determined resolu
tion on both sides until near morning, when the
British were suddenly attacked in the rear hy
alsiut 1600 patriots from St. Mathias, 14 miles
distant, who, hearing the cannonading, reached
lo ihe rescue, and eame up just in time to save
tb<- fort which was about being captured.
The royalists immediately fled in all directions
into he woods, with the patriots at tneir heels,
and will prooahly nearly all lie killed or taken
prisoners, as the patriots under the orders of Gen.
Brown had previously cut oil'all msansol retreat
or escape, by destroying the boat* in the river

When the express left St. Charles at 7 A. M.

t 200 men in killed and wounded. The loss of the

Many ofthem, ih advance of the British forces,
threw into the river oil tbetr furniture and pro

Thy noble heart at length lies cold in death;
For Death alone had power to qusnoh its fire;
Thy friAtds were dear to thee as vital breath, —

The needy, ne'er, unaided, passed thy door,—
The welcomed stranger found a horns with thss;
With all thou shard’s! thy hoapilshls stmt,
And blight content's sbodt thiho accrued to bs.

October 31—u(!( 85S
13s the Augusta Ciiiuinclc and Henliuel of the
6th insl. Reddun J. Camion has the effrontery
to address the public in vindication of an act
coiniiii led by him, which is regarded by the laws
ul till country at theft, hy instituting charges
against me iirulcvunt to the mallet in dispute!
and wholly untrue in fact. 1 will briefly detail
tlio facts as they occurred, and leavo the pohUit
to draw their ow n inference.
An agreement was entered into between
Simeon K Cannon and myself, for the keeping
of two horses and the h aiding of two drivers*
at thirty six dollars par month. At the time the
difficulties (alluded to in bis address) occu red o<t
the line, 1 was indebted to Simeon K. Canoed
for four months stabling and board, la the sum,
ol one hundred and forty four dollars, and wrote
lo him to take tare of the horses until my arrival,
when I would pay him his demand. But Redden
J, Cannon, regardless of these assurance to Ills
lather, and without any authoriiylrom any per.ou
empowered to dispose of tho property, together
with tho driver Wilson, look (he two horses stand
ing at his fathers, and two kept at Minor’s, tbu
four valued at five bundled and lifiy dollars, cor
ned thorn through tho lower part ol'Huulli Caro
lina offering them for sale, and actually did sell
them, falsely avoiing, iltal he had purchu-cd them
from a North Carolina Wagoner. Now, was R
nut an unwarrantable, dishonest acl, thus to take
property aucrcllv and at night convey it to a tlt*-
I a nee, and, under an assumed fictitious name,
represent it as his cr.n, dispone ol it as such, and
appropriate the proceeds lo his own use I By
wlmt other and mote appropriate name shall I
designate it, than hy that of thcf.l which, il 1 mu
rightly informed, is the felonious taking and cur
rying away the personal goods of another- The
taking and catrying away he atlmiis, mid lb#
secret manner in wiiicli it was done, his assuming
a fictitious name together with other circumstan
ces fix ilic felonious intent upon him. If he hail
demands against me, why did he not appeal Id
the laws •! the country which have doubtlessly
lully provided for such cases 1 Tho legal remedy
of attachment wss open to him; why did ho cot
avail himself ol it' 1 The reason is evident. He
thought, that amidst Ihc general scramble for the
properly of Mr. Longstreel, lie could with impu
nity, inidsr the plea of securing a dehl, steal away
my property, dispose of it, pocket the proceeds,
and being an irresponsible person in point of pci.
cunliiry liablility, set mo at defiance.
Wilson, Ilia driver, for whom this honcet gcu
■ Inman puis up so doietul u lamentation, is a bird
of the same feather. He had defrauded mo of
more than sixty dollars, and being detected, to
quiet tho matter, gave mo his ;i romissoty nolee
fin tho amount thus dishonest y appropiated by
him, which I now hold. Tuo statement that t
left tho city of Augusta secretly, lo avoid the ap
plications of creditors, anil that 1 concealed my
self in the stage coach at stopping places for a likes
purpose, is a base and wanton fabrication, 1 lell
Augusta in the public mail coach, in the epeii
day, and sought no concealment. But these
falsehoods are no doubt,derived from (ho vcriialdv
honest Mr. Wilson, the friend and accomplice in
his villainy, to whose assertions, from the infamy
of his character, no credit is lo be given.
He further says, that ‘•mere was no alternative
to secure payment for services as driver, and for
hoard and (torso feed, but t> eeiie on property
which executions had not yet found, and which
I had not yet seen*” I was not aware that there
were any executions or even judgments against
me or Longstreel is South Carolina, nor do I
how know that there are any t hut, I certainly
known to the contrary, and so does he. But this
is only a plea whici jhe now to-otls to, toecrceoo
himself from the odium which his nefarious con
duct necessarily brings upon him. Bui, il will
avail him little, when Ihe facts no spread before
the tribunal at which he may be arraigned lo ans
wer for his violation iff the known laws of hia
country; there if he piovo himself guiltless, I*
him do il : a public gazette is not the proper pise*
for such a discussion, and theiefore I shall notien „ mrn
him in this manner no further. , .
In relation to the threat of personal chastise
ment with which he concludes his budget of lies,
I have only to say, that Hint end Jiluct ofirri
make covanlt bold.
