few days will inform us ; and this evening’s
boat will probably bring a pretty decisive in
dication.
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 outrage.
From ihc Montreal Herald— Extra.
Monday Morning, November 5,1838.
The events we have so often predicted are
now matter of history—the Canadians have
again risen in o|K n rebellion, evidently under
more efficient organization, and martial law
was yesterday proclaimed in the province for
"the second time in tha short space of twelve
mouths. Most alarming intelligence reached
town yesterday forenoon, that the whole coun
try was in a state of insurrection, and that ma
ny loyalists have been murdered in cold blood
in the county of Acadie. Further accounts
but too painfully corroborated the previous ru
mor, and a considerable body of troops was
despatched to that county.
The steamer Princess Victoria, which took
over a detachment of the Royal Artillery on
Saturday afternoon to Laparaire, 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 no
tice to leave the village, and getting on board
the steamer Britania, they have arrived in town
in safety. Yesterday morning about two o’-
clock, a party of 3000 rebels attacked the
house of Mr. L. Brown at Beauharnoie —and,
after about 20 minutes fighting, Mr. Brown,
Mr. Ellice, Junior M.P., Mr.Norval, Mr.Ross
and the other Constitutionalists surrendered
themselves prisoners, and nothing more is at
present known oftheir fate. Mrs.Ellice, Miss
Balfour, and the other females in the house at
the time, took lefuge in the cellar during the
engagement. Messrs. Brown and Ross are
both wounded.
Yesterday forenoon, an Indian woman at
the village ofCaughnawaga, who was seeking
for a stray cow, discovered a large body of
armed men in the woods, and gave informa
tion of the circumstance to the Indians, who
were then assembled at Church. They imme
diately seized what arms they could procure,
such as muskets, tomahawks and pitchforks,
and, giving the warwhoop, charged their foes,
who scampered off as fast as they could, throw,
ing down their arms as they fled. Seventy
five were taken prisoners, and brought into
towm. handcuffed, by the Lachine cavalry.—
A considerable number of arrests were made
yesterday, among whom are L. M. Viger, the
President of the Peoples’ Bank ; I). B. Viger,
an ex-LegislativeCouncillor; Charles Mende
let, 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 sus
pected house in the city and suburbs foranns,
and they brought in a considerable supply.—
It was remarked that in Canadian houses,there
were very few men to be seen, and it is sup
posed they are not far off. The gates at the
different barricades were closed, and strong
pickets placed to guard them. Reinforcements
of troops were sent to various quarters of the
District. At B mnharnoisthe rebels took pos
session of the steamer Brougham, on he' way
to Lachine with the mail on board. It is cur
rently reported that during the engagement,
Mr. John McDonald, while leading on a par
ty of Dragoons against the rebels, was shot
dead, five bullets having pierced his body.

STAGE-COACH RECOLLECTIONS.
NO. X.
Troy, (.iV. F.) September, 1838.
To the Editor of the Southern Past:
Dear Sir :—A smooth Lake, and pleasant voyage,
brought us down Lake Erie to Buffalo, on the morning
of the second day after leaving Sandusky; stopping in
Buffalo only long enough to get a good breakfast at
‘‘the American,” one of the finest houses in western
New-York—a memento of the enterprize of the notor
ious “ Rathbun ” We left in the Rail-Road cars for
Lewiston, to take our way down Lake Ontario to Os
wego.
Lewiston, and its vicinity, was the scene of many
interesting incidents in the history of the late war. In
full view, on tlfo opposite heights of Queenston, was
fought the celebrated battle in which fell General Brock,
the British Commander, to whose memory a beautiful
monument is erected, which may be ascended by a
spiral stair case, giving an extensive view of the sur
rounding country.
We left Lewiston in the steam-boat, at a late hour in
the afternoon, and were soon down to the mouth of the
river entering Lake Ontario, with Fort Niagara on one
side, distinguished by the glorious stars and stripes at
the flag-staff, floating in the breeze—and on the other
shore, the small village of Niagara, with a few soldiers
lazily lingering about the docks, and a small black look
ing steam-boat armed with a single row of teeth, ready
to pounce upon any rebellious expedition which may
be fitted out against her Majesty’s leige subjects along
shore.
We were at Oswego before sunrise next morning,
and soon on our way to Utica, which we reached by
stage-coach the same evening—the country being gen
erally uninteresting; thence, by Rail-Road, we reach
ed this city.
Having a desire to brush up my recollections of the
interesting incidents connected with the battle of Still
water, and subsequent surrender of Burgoyne, at Sara
toga ; after resting a short time, I took stage up the riv
er to pass over the locality of those incidents. Nearly
all those w r ho were eye-witnesses or participants in the
scenes have passed away, and rtie unwritten and most
interesting details, and legends of the neighborhood, as
the actors disappear, become less authentic wlten con
veyed at second hands. The ground occupied by th?
battle, the retreat, and surrender, extend about eleven
miles up the river, commencing a short distance above
Stillwater village. On the top of the heights may be
traced some slight remains of a breast-work ; a little
farther North is the spot where General Frazier, fell un
der the unerring aim of “ Morgan's men ;” from here
he was carried some miles to the “ Old Red House,”
still standing, where he died. A minute description of
this house, as well as a most interesting account of his
death and burial is given by Lady Harriet Ackland,
who attended his last moments. A gentleman now
resident at Schuylorsville, told tne he hnd a few years
*go met with a soldier who belonged to a Hessian reg
iment in the British service, and who stood within a few
feet of Frasier when he fell. He said that a few mo
ments before he received his wound, General Burgoyne
and himself rode together on the heighths, and were
standing looking at the Americansl>e|ow, when a can-
non shot passed between, and very near them : Bur
goyne turned to Frasier and remarked, “ Frasier, thi a
it no place for us," and immediately rode off; a few
minutes after which Frasier received his death wound.
The same gentleman who related this anecdote, told
me of another soldier, (an American,) who a few years
since was present at the excavating of the turnpike
road, turning a considerable hill, who remarked to the
laborers, “ You will soon find the bones of old Love
less,” a spy who was executed and buried on this hill.
Soon afterwards, the bones fell out of the hill-side, and
were trampled in the road until they became as dust
scattered to the four winds: so should perish every ves
tage of the betrayer of his country.
A few rods below Schuylersville, on the plain near
the river bank, is the place where Burgoyne surrender
ed ; there is some little difference of opinion as to the
precise spot w r here the sword was delivered to our
Commander, but no material difference as to where
the American and enemy’s lines were drawn when the
British troops stacked their arms —the ground is now
oo"upied by a corn field, and in full view from the Ho
tel, where they retain many interesting relics—such as
ol 1 swords, pieces of shells, arms, Ac. picked up in
plowing the adjacent fields.
At Fort EM ward, about fifteen miles farther north, oc
curred the murder of Jenie McCrea, one of the most in
teresting and exciting incidents of our revolutionary
history. The spot where she fell, cloven to the brain
by the murderous tomahawk of one of the Indians, sent
after her by a British officer, is still pointed out, on the
top of the hill above the village. Her remains were in
terred about three miles below, and were a few years
since removed and re-interred in the village burying
ground, where a simple stone, with the words “ Jemie
McCrea,” now mark their resting place.
As it is probable, with this short excursion has closed
my stage travelling, for the present, here, too, must
close these “ Recollections.” If any of your readers
have followed me through the incidents which I have
so hastily and so imperfectly recorded, with any toler
able share of patience, I shall feel more than repaid for
the little time they have consumed—and to such, to all,
I beg a kindly farewell. X.
DEATH OF BISHOP JOLLY.
Onr readers have been already apprised, by
the correspondent who latoly wrote to us from
Edinburg, ot the decease of venerable Bishop
Jolly, the father of the Scottish Episcopal
Church. The following deeply interesting
particul irs of his death we transcribe from a
a foreign journal. He was reading the night
before a beautiful old work, called “Disce
Mori,” Learn to die, which he was very anx
ious to finish. He continued reading till a
late hour, when he dismissed his servant. In
the morning he was found not 01 ly dead, but
.actually laid out for burial by himself. He
He had closed his eyes with his own hand,
and drawn a napkin over his face, and folded j
his arms over his breast in the form of a cross,
to show the faith in which he died. Thus j
closed a life of primitive simplicity, piety and
self-dedial, worthy of the purest ages of the
church. New-Yark Churchman. !

There is a most unwelcome report about
to-day, nothing less than that the late Collec
tor of this port, Samuel Swartwout, Esq. who
is now in Europe, has left his accounts defi
cient some million and a quaiter.
It is undoubtedly true that a Treasury Clerk
is here from Washington, in consequence of
apparent difficulties in the Custom House
Books, and as things appear, there is a defal
cation like that above stated. Mr. Swart
wout, we understand, claimed to retain a con
siderable amount in his h- - nds on account of
suits against him for overpaid duties and other
unsettled matters, but nothing like the amount
now apparently minus.
Suspension o f Specie payments lyihe Bank's

been a heavy run for specie upon the Banks
of Montreal, which has issued in the suspen

LATER.
OiT The issue of our paper of to-day being
unavoidably delayed until a late hour, we avail
ourselves of the opportunity of giving some
later intelligence of importance, from the
North, by this evening’s Express Mail.
The following bundle of news we have ga
thered and condensed from the Herald slips,,
of the 13th, in relation to Canada ; the repor
ted default of Swartwout, Custom House offi
cer ; the fears for the safety of the steam ships
Liverpool and Great Western, both of which
have been out beyond the usual time, &c.&c. !
A circular has been issued in New-York for
the purpose of inducing subscriptions in aid of
the Canada cause. The Herald says, some
of them were praying, some drunk, and some
mending their breeches—preparatory—and
Mackenzie is preparing an Oration ; admit
tance, six and a quarter cents. There has;
been one battle fought near L’Acadie in which
the Patriots were defeated, having 8 killed and
a large number wounded. They were a de
tachment conveying a piece of artillery and a
quantity of arms to their Head Quarters ; the
artillery and 200 muskets were !o‘t. Loss on
the other side not known. The Patriots fought
with great bravery, but against overwhelming
! odds. Another battle is ex’tected hourly.—
The Patriots seem not disheartened. This
battle was fought about 27 miles from Platts
i l, urg.
There are many rumors in relation to the
amount Swartwout is deficient, some say 1,-
400,000 others 130,000. A great excitement
|is the consequence of this failure. Mr. Swart
wont’s friends believe on investigation that
lie will be found no defaulter. So does the
Herald. But that there is a great deficiency
all agree, and to a large amount.
“The greater rogue any ntan may lie, the
greater a favorite he is with all classes of so
cietv, financies, clergymen, politicians, and
j etqteciallv with pretty woman. Roguery—
neat, elegant roguery is talent—and talent is
roguery. Indeed we are not sure but respec
ble roguery, clotlied in purple and fine linen, is
the best substitute for learning, philosophy and
piety—and that no man can expect to get
to heaven, or to save his soul in holy pickle,
except he be one of the most unquestioned and
unquestionable rascals that can crawl between
flowery earth and sunny heaven.”
Is them yoursentim‘tits Mr. Herald? Per
haps that’s the reason a sight at your paper and
yourself is so much sought.
Later accounts from the elections still show
a gain for the Whigs.
Again we have to record the non-arrival of
the Steam boats, long since due from Liver
pool. This unusual tardiness begins to wear
a serious aspect. The Great Western left
Bristol, on her fifth voyage across the Atlan
tic, on the 27th ultimo, and has now been out
seventeen days, which is over one day long*#
than any voyage she has yet made.
The continued absence of the Liverpool be
comes matter of anxiety to the public at large,
as well as those immediately interested, she
having sailed seven days before the Great
Western.
