 The Senate had the same bill under consideration. which was before the Senate yesterday, and part ot Thursday. It is odious hl and gave rise, both yesterday and to-day to highly ensra'nhg hgy asens

 LOWER CANADA.

 We have Montreal papers of the 13th.- We have no doubt, that the reported victory of the Patriots at the Lake fthe Two Monn- tains, is incorrect. Sir John Colborne was about to march with 1900 Regulars upon the Lake of the Two Mountains; and it will be very remarkable if he is not successful a. gainst the Patriots there, who are almost un- armed. The troops have been recalled from St. Denis. Montreal is without alarm. The Montreal papers are full of the particulars of the burial of Lieut. Weir. The interment took place in the Military Burying Ground on the Victoria Road, till lately called the Pa- pineau Road!! Bouchette, the Editor of the Quehec Liberal, will, without much doubt, be shot. Twenty-Five more prisoners have been brought into Montreal. The Montreal Gazette says the Canadians are a conquered people, and yet mocks them for rebellion!
