The Lieutenant General Commanding desires, that O.Ticers commanding Military Stations, will circulate as widely as possible the accompanying copies of an Address from the Magistrates of Montreal, to the Ilabitans of the Montreal District ; and that they will take every opportunity of impressing upon the minds of the Peasanlry, that troops have been collected solely lor the protection of the lives and property of the loyal inhabitants ; and that ail those who remain quietly and peaceably in their houses, will be protected and secured in the full enjoyment of their homes, but that every man found in Arms, without authority, or offering resistance to the due execution of the laws, will be treated with the utmost rigour* JOHN EDEN, Lt. Col. DU Adjt Gel v- K V ■^1 N ■v. < A\ ^\ lution. To the InhahitanU oj the District of Montreal. As Magistrates and conservators of the peace of Her most gracious Majesty in tl.is District, we conceive it to be our doty to anticipate the serious events which threaten the public tranquillity, and. in a fatherly feeling, to warn you of the danger you will mcu if you allow yourselves to be longer deceived, as well as of the punishment that may fall upr-n you if you continue a contest as parricidal as it is unlawful. The officers of justice have been fired upon in the performance ol their pamlul duty, prisoners who had been lawfully arrested that they might be tried by the tribunals of their country have been liberated. These are grave offences and draw, after them, the most severe punishment upon those who have been guilty of their commission. It is not you, inhabitants of the country, naturally peaceable in your habits who have voluntarily opposed yourselves to justice , but it is those perfidious men who have pushed on some isolated individuals to commit these acts unworthy of those who know how to respect the public peace and the laws. We exhort you not only against all violent proceedings ; but also to return quietly to your own hearths and to your family in whose bosom you will be free from molesta- tion It is by committing yourselves to the protection of the Law and the Bnt.sU Government, that you will succeed in bringing back peace and prosperity to your country. Already are we informed that several parishes which had gone astray have returned from their wandering and repented of their error. If onr voices were not well known, if there was a reluctance to listen to reason, still it would, nevertheless, be our duty to warn you that neither the military force, nor the civil authorities can be assailed with impunity, and that the vengance ol the Law will be as prompt as it will be terrible. The aggressors will become the victnns o their temerity, and they will owe the misfortunes which will fall upon their heads only to their own obstinacy. Those who urge you to these excesses are not yo.r true friends. They have already abandoned you, and will again abandon you in the moment of danger whilst we who would recall you to the paths of peace believe ourselves to be the most devoted servants of our country.

Le Lieatenant Gen6ral Commandant desire, que les Officiers qui ont le comman- dement des Postes Militaires, fassent circuler aussi abondamment que possible les copies ci-jointes d'line Adresse des Magistrals de Montreal parmi les habitans du District de Montreal ; et qu'iis fassent tout en leur pouvoir pour persuader les paysans, que des Troupes ont 6te r6unies uniquement pour prote'ger la vie et les biens des loyaux habi- tans, ct que tons ceux qui resteront paisibles dans leurs maisons seront prot^g6s et assu- res de la jouissance enti^re de leurs propriet^s, mais que tout homme armd sans auto- rite, ou re'sistant a la due execution des lois, sera trait6 de la mani^re la plus rigou- reuse.
