      HIIJT 1 A GESEBATi ORDER . ^ BiiEaMeHencytiLe laentenant-Governor has receiTed certain information that an extensive conspiracy hasbeenformedbynrnnerou * unprincipled and Tapataons inhabitants of the neig-hboDiing friendly States , with a view to force upon the proyincethe aominafion of the said conspirators , and to visit the loyal inhabitants of this province with lawless war . ' plnnder , and devastation . * - The Lieutenant-Governdrj in anticipation of an adequate e ^ dbitian of force and activity on the part of the government of th « United States , who contmue to declare a most friendly disposition towards GreatJJriiain , has forborne to call npon the loyal inhabitants oi Upper Canada to pTepare to defend in arms their institutions , their families , and the-r homes ; bnt the Iieutenant-GoTernor now conceives

      that the time is come when it would be unjust to her Majesty ' s loyal people to risk the consequences of a Julure on the part of the most friendly foreign government to preserve peaceable relations towards these colonies ; and , therefore , for the purpose of preventing the apprehension * which might naturally anse amongst a peaceable population in the vicinity of a rapacious enemy , the Iaentenant-Goternpr is isaaQed . ^ to eaU out once mom a portion of the gallant militia t > f Upper Canada , as a volunteer force , in the full confidence and certainty that the wicked and lawless designs of thepnbHc enemy will be met by a corresponding exhibition of the loyal and gallant feeling which has always distiognished Upper Canada , when ^ engaged in regular war , as well as when threatened with aggression from pirates and brigands .

      . The Lieutenant-GoTernqr will , therefore , forthwith issue order ? to rome . distinguished officers to call ° ^« a P 0 ^ 01 * of ihe mDitia of the prorince . _ The lieutenant-GovernoT assures the loyal inhabitants of the province that he is . in full possession of the designs of the enemy , who have -nominally amongst them many who have not foreotten their allegiance to herMaje * Qr or their daty to theirCana-< San Breihivn , and only appear in the mnks of the onjands at present to save themselves from insult mm violence .

Captain - "Whitney , of the steamer Great Britain , bas informed the proprietors of steamers in Upper Canada that in eonsequence of secret meetings being held at Oswego in tayour of the rebelsit will not

      , be prudent for them to allow their vessels to land at that port . It is probable that similaT meetJBgs are held ail along the frontier . Fifty stand of arms , with five hundred rounds of ball cartrid ge , hare been given to the volunteers at Prescott , and a further supply of both is daily expected . In each district of both provinces there is to be one volunteer eompany on permanent duty , while the others are to be drilled once a week , each man receiving a suit of clothes , and half a dollar every day he goes out to drill , the same as the volunteers in this city , composing asedentary force ready to act at a moment ' s notice . —Jkf unireal Herald .

"We observe that a corps of 400 strong is to be raised at Carillon , and another 200 strong at TaudreuiL Captain Mayne , of the Royals , is charged with the organization of these corps . The Montreal Herald of Wednesday gays , " We understand that Louis Perrault , one of the proscribed rebels who returned to town a few days ago has proceeded to Quebec for the purpose of applying for indemnification for the destruction of the F « u £ - cator office , of which he was the proprietor . "

      ^ ( From the Montreal Courier . ) We are glad to see Sir George Arthur taking the field at one and the same time as an anti-alarmist and as a proTident Governor , nsing due precaution againstpossible contingencies . He acts differentl y from his predecessor who sought to make Upper Canada a mere stage for himself to play the hero on . Sir George has addressed the following sensible letter to Coionel Young , of BrockviUe . Preseott , Oct . 13 , 1838 .

      It is my own opinion that the patriots will not make any se r ous attempt to invade this province , but that excitement -srill be kept up by mean * oi exaggerated romou .-s . J particularly wish , however that confidence should be given to every part of the province . Wj th this view , it is my particular desire that you will forthwith put yon-self in commnnieation with the colonels of all the Tnfhtia regiments in the Johnstown district ; and ascertain what number of men capable of being useful can be depended npon being assembled at a short nooce , and especially how many could within a few hours be collected at Prescott .

      "It is a great object to get the militia in the best possible state , and there is no info'mation connected with this force , or with the military resou'ees of the Johnstown -district , that you could convey t © me that would not be acceptable . " " I have no doubt that the colonels of all the regiments would readily assemble them for your inppect ' on . ( Signed ) " GEORGE ABTHUH . "

      ( From various American papers . ) The New York elections ^ those for Congress , as well as the State Legislature , were proceeding unfavourably for the Government ; and the opponent * of the President deemed his re-election to the presidential chair by no means secure . But though comparatively unsuccessful in the city , as well in the state of New York , his popularity in districts less affected by financial operations was undiminis&ed , if not'inereasing . ¦ - Mrs . Charles Matthews and her hnsband took a benefit at the Park Theatre on the 8 th of November , previous to their departure for Europe . They will . probably arrive here by the Great Western , wluen may be looied for bv the end of next wees .

      The latest dates from England were to the 3 rd of October . The steamer , Liverpool , was most anxionsly looked for , and this anxiety would be increased when the Great Western arrived out , because the latter vessel was unacquainted with the retnrn of the Liverpool to Cork , and would report that she sailed from this town seven days before the Great Western left for Bristol . £ dward Ellice , jnn ., E ? q . M . P ., who has been on a visit to the Earl of Durham , left Quebec yesterday , for Moiitreial and Beauharnois . It is stated that he will sail from New York for England about the 24 th of November . —Quebec Gazette .

      Mexico . —A correspondence is published between Captain DJGvTafragtit , of the United States navy , and Captain . Bazoene , coramanding the naval blockade on the coast of Mexico . Captain FaTagut writes to ask , whether the report he has heard is ^ correct—that v ^ sels appearing on the coast of Mpxico will no longer be warned off by the French cruisers , T > ut . will be at once captured . Captain Bazoche , in reply , says , " The vessels that presented themselves before the ports of the Gulf before the notification were-warned off , but now that the notification has been made to your Government , and is known at the port * of the Union , it is evident that all vessels that present themselves have the intention to force tbe blockade , and in such case will be detained nntil the decision of the

      Government be knovm . By the packet ship St . Andrew , which sailed from New York on the 16 th ultimo , and arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning , American papers up to that date , and Canadian papers to the 13 th ,. were received in tows ibid morning : —

      CANADA . _ We receiyed : yesterday Montreal papers to the date of Monday last . Thepatiotism and courage of the invaders , who bad assembled at Napierville , seems to have : fled , if they ever had any , before even the appearance of British troops . Two coJumns , one under the immediate command of Sir John Colhorne , from St . John ' s , and tbe other under that of Colonel Love , from St . "V alentine , reached Napierville on Saturday morning at the same moment , and found

      the place deserted by no less than 4 , 000 men who had collected there—probably twice the number of ? beir enemy who now sought them . The two affairs -which have alreaay been mentioned by onr correspondent at "Whitehall would seem to have been of more importance than Mb letters led us to expect . In both the attacks of tbe insurgents they were repulsed by the militia of the province alone . For the accounts ; frem other parts of Lower Canada , we refer to our extracts .

      ThefoUowing lettere were received yesterday : — ; " L'AcadU , Nov . 12 , 1838 .

      "I have the honour to be , Sir , your most obedient humble servant , "L . Carmichael , Col . P . S . " Major Hill , Assistant Quartermaster , Gene-al . " ( From the Montreal Courier of the lZthinst . ) By a private letter received yesterday we regret to ltarn that Mr . George Hay , a respectable farmer on the banks of the Richelieu , about six miles above St . Valentine , bas been robbed by the rebels of all his moveable property , including his valuable stock of horses cattle , she ^ -p , pigs&c ., and that all the

      , loyal inhabitants on that side of tbe river have experienced similar treatment . Mr . Hay ' s house had beennsed as a barrack for several « » ays by about 200 of the rebels . The letter also stated that about 100 of them have advanced about a quarter of a mile over the lines on the opposite side of the river , and take their stand at a place called Beech Ride , near Alborgh . Besides being well armed , they have three- pieces of cannon . The loyal inhabitants in that quarter are worn out with fatigue , and harassed with constant alarms .

      The Chamhly mail carrier who arrived yesterday aftefDoon , reports that tbe volunteers had been fired ppon by the rebels , and that Mr . Dixon , the post-master , had been obliged to fly to the fort for proteet oH . Nine prisoners who have been arrested in the neighbourhood of St . John ' * were brought to town yesterday afternoon by the Princess Victoria . Among these are two noted rebels , one named Mongeon the other Richard ; E . R . Eabre , and Doctor Lpsi gnan have also been arrested .

      Through the whole of yesterday very large volumes of smoke were visible in the direction of the Chateauguay , and last night a large portion of the heavens was illuminated by an extensive blaze , which was visible in the direction of St . John ' s , supposed to be St . Athanase . . The Brougham steamer , which was captured by the rebels , is a good deal crippled in her machinery , And was towed down to Lachine yesterday . The mail bag f--o " m Upper Canada that was on board of her remained undiscovered and unopened , although it * contents were valuable ; it was brought into town yesterday .

      Considerable sensation was created in town yesterday by the arrival of Messrs . Ellice , L . G . Brown , R . H . Norval , John Macdonald , John L . Grant , John Bryson , John Ross - —Houndslow David Norman , Dr . Surveyor , and another whose name we did not learn , about whose safety some apprehensions bad been entertaiBed . It appears that after their capture at Beauharnois , they were , as was supposed here , conveyed to Chrtteauguay , where they were confined in aroom from which day light was carefully excluded , but they were allowed to have a candle burning . Dur « n ? this time thev -were well treated

      by the cure and the nuns , who were permitted to send them a profusion of luxuries from their larder and cellars . They were also allowed to send money for any thing they wanted from the village . They were bving coaveyed ia ca / tsonSatu-day , as they believed , to Napierville , and bad reached La Pigaounier , in the seigniory . St . George , when their e . « eorc hearing of the evacuation of Napierville , left them and fled . They were altowed to proceed in the saKie carts to Laprairie , and were even advisad , it is said , by some of tbe older rebe ^ , which road to take as the * safest They reached Laprairie about two o ' clock vesterday mornipg , and this city about ten .

      Horrible Murder . —A man named Matthew Smith , murdered his wife in Way land , in this State , a short time ago , in a most shocking manner . Smith had a family of seven children ; his conduct was so bad that they were separated , and the oldest son took a tenement for his mother where she resided with her youngest child , aged five years . Smith had frequently threatened to take his wife ' s life , and she hail procured a warrant for his arrest in case he molested her . He was apprised of this , and went to her house on the fatal ni ght for the purpose of compelling her to surrender the warrant . He was refused admittance , wiier ^ upoh he forced in a window and thus effected an entrance . As soon as he had gained admission , he seized his wife and stabbed her twice in the neck , near her ear ; he then threw her

      upon the bed where the little child layjkft the house , travelled some distance into a field , and cut his own throat . After bleeding profusely , he faintedj but finally recovered sufficiently to go back to hia wife ' s house , where he fell upon the floor , and was found in an almost insensible state in the morning . Means were immediately used to restore him , and in a short time he acquired sufiicient stiength to undergo an examiuation before a magistrate , when he made the above displosures . He is too feeble to be moved to Concord jail at present , but will undoubtedly recover from his wounds . The first person who discovered the awful scene was one of his sons whose notice was attracted by the appearance of the broken window , as he was passing ' the house on Saturday morning . — Boston Post .

A DeAth-bed Confession of a Mubuer —About forty years ago a great sensation was created in Liverpool by the murder of a gentleman of high respectability . The body was found by a watchman , in an upright position , supported by railing < which fenced a : shipwright ' s yard , on land now forming part of the east quay of the Prince ' s-dock . Onexami ationit was discovered that the deceased

      had met with his death by a fracture of the skull j executed with a blunt instrument . A reward was oflered by the then mayor and , in consequence , information was given to the police that the deceased gentleman was in the habit of visiting a female in the neighbourhood of the place where the body-was found , and on the apprehension of that female a watch was taken from her persoH which was proved to be the property of the deceased , arid so satisfactory was thi * fact , with some corroborant circumstances , that the prisoner was committed for trial . A stablekeeper or groom , who was in the habit of going , by the deceased ' s orders , to fetch his watch , which he had

      on some occasions forgotten or purposely left with the pri * oner , having casually read in a newspaper that part of the evidence respecting the watch , gave such infi'rmation to the magistrates that the prisoner was released , the constables were on the continual look out to discover the murderer , but wirhout effect ; and from that time to this the friends of the deceased , who are now of the first standing in Liverpool in point of wealth and respectability , are ignorant of the cause of the murder and of tie name of the murderer . The person who confessed the murder was the widow of the murderer , who had been then dead many years . The confession was to the following effect : —That she was standing at the

      door of her houseyand the deceased passing by , being in a state of intoxication , caught hojd of her ; she ran into the front parlour , and he with her ; she called out , and her husband , who was a pilot , happening to come in at the moment , took up the poker and killed the deceased at one blow ; when he saw the dreadful effect of the act , he wept most bitterly . In the course of an hour he apd his wife began to think how the body should be disposed of , when the wife hit upon the plan of taking the body onr between twelve and one at nightj being very dark , and rearing it against the railings , where it was found by the watchman . She lifted the Corpse on her husband ' s back , and he carried it a distance of

      200 . or 300 yards . They put out all the li ghts in the house immediately , und went to bed , but , from the agitated state of their feelings , neither could sleep on that nor for many nights afterward ? . The police examiried all the houses about , arid on one occasion theirs , but fortunately , she said , her busband was out on duty in the pilot-boat , otherwise she thinks , as his terror was so great , he would have discovered his guilt by his agitated manner . She Often determined , after her husband died , to confess all the circumstances to the relations of the def eas » ed ^ who was a single man , but she wa s afraid she would be deemed a principal in the murder ,, arid put upon her trial . She died on the same day she related these facts . —Liverpool Standard .

      "FROM ALL SEDITION , PRIVY CONSPIRACY , AND REBELLION , GOOD LORD DELIVER US , " A more flagrant , malicious heartless , and diabolical conspiracy was never yet hatched by fiend from hell , than that in which King and Feather , as Whig instruments , have been comforted , aided , and abetted , to carry the Poor Law Amendment Act into effect at Todmqrden . We have beforo taken some pains to caution our political opponents against the direct interest which some of their

      leading journals have in perpetuating the ill-feeling which exists between the middle and the lower classes of society . Those journals are the tools , not merely of a political party , but of an advertising community , to whose views , feelings , and supposed interests , they pander , and to whose folly and i gnorance they would consign , and for ever sacrifice " , ever } -working man in the state . That a triumph over Mr . Fielden would accomplish more for the conspirators than victory in many pitched battles j is matter well understood . The faction dread the

      honestl independence of one of their own order , and tremble at the manly exposure of a brother capU talisr . Mr . FiEtDEN ' s willingnegs ^ to surrender , to the labourer that which belongs to the labourer , in an hostility more deadly and invincible than all the theories of ancient and modern agitators , even though they be professors of physical force . To such champions as the Mercury and the Guardian , purveyors for . local tyrants , sycophants to local authorities , and panderers to local abuses , the Whigs in a great measure owe their present

      hopeless , hapless and unenviable position . A « channels of information , the Government should expect honest and unbiassed opinions from leaders and expounders of provincial politics , while , if they have aught of penetration , they must have observed an inclination upon the part of those tyrq northern destructives , to support present , rule by force , rather than by the slightest surrender to justice and existing circumsta . uces . These two journals are the key bugles by which the . penny trumpets of ^^ the Whigs are tuned , and even the imore high souBding ones blush not now and then to join in the chorus . In the last attempt , however , we

      have been made the humble instrument , under Providence to release the victims from the hawks and the falconers , We have had 8 om > little trouble , arid have bestowed much pains in tracing the conspiracy to Us source , and we ^ all leave it to that tribunai whose duty it is to award punishment to . the-guilty . . The boast of the Guardian of being the first ; herald to arouse the sleepy energies t of Gbvernment , . ( which , . although challenged by the letter of ; Mr .

      assertion made b y one who is so much bettei acquainted with the gentleman , Here we close our case , having developed so muchi of the transaction as should be kriqwH for the present ; and now . foran observation or two . Nothing is more necessary than that , in suchi cases , evidence should be correct ; and yet we find the Mercury and the Guardictn , though each trying to heighten the outrage as much as possible , at complete

      variance upon the most material points : one has the horse in the cart whiTe it was on fire , while the other disposes of him in a field . The Guardian « ftiiB of one of the constables having been greatly bruised byia large stone , which was thrown upon his breast / andthatboth wereseribusly injured , and both stripped of every stitch except their stockings * Feather , ( says the Mercury ) was a good deal bruisedj being beaten vith a pair of handcuffs which he carried in

      his pocket . The Guardian says , that the horse and cart w ere upget at the same time , and Feather along with them , at which time a person dashed a stone with great force upon his bteast . Now let the reader contrast this statement with that of the censtabie ' a to Mr . Radcliffe , and with Mr . Rad-GLiFPE ' d own declaration , namely , that " they had not a scratch upon them . " While the officers were in the house certain factory bells in the iieighbourhood were rurig , says ihe Mercury .,, ( wit at the usual hour . ) Nowitaliciscdasthoselastfivewprdsarevcan

      perjured themselves , or they have told a wilful and a voluntary lie to M ^ Ratcliffe , and the conclusion to which we naturall y come is , that the constables , as emissaries of the Grovernment , and the local authorities , have been made instruments to justify a recourse to extreme measures , in order to frighten the people into obedience to Ihe Devil ' s Jaw ;' ' ^ : " are : Teady . to ''' censure and condemn the coarse pursued by the people , while we cannot withhold the expression of bur opinion , that every man who Centered Mr .

      Fielden ' s mill , withqut either sworn informatioris or a reasonable and well-folinded suspicion against persons who w ere known tohave ^ been parties in the riot , were trespassers and [ viplatbra o ! the peace ; wehaveno rjght to presume ^ ^ at sudh . rea ^ oriable grounds for suspicion didC exist , Oas the Guardiiih > ays that the con 3 tables being strangers could not name individual offenders , many of \ vhbm are suriw posed to be strangers working ;' at the raiiWay ; so for lack of individual offenders ' v ' th > cpncerh ia lumped , Mr .
