We are informed that he was taken yesterday, in the town-

were at once brought into town. They «V3re making the
best of their way to the States, under the guidance of an In-

We subjoin all that we find of interest in Kingston Chroni-
cle.

We learn from Cobourg, that Ebenezer Perry and hit
brother, Peter Perry, Esq. together with Wilson S. Conger,
Esq. have already proceeded with a strong volunteer party to
Toronto, to join the Royal Standard. Those gentlemen have
bten long known as reformers of the first water. It is now
gratifying to observe, that notwithstanding their reforming
notions they are true and loyal men.

Detence of Kjnuston.— On Wednesday last on the arrival
of the startling intelligence from the seat of Government, that
Toronto was in danger of being attacked by the rebels — the
Magistrates convened in the Court House where a larg* con-
course of the inhabitants assembled, and prompt meawrMwere
adopted for the protection of Kingston. The town was divided
into four sections, and a strong patrole headed by a Magistrate
perambulr'.ed during the night— these precautionary steps have
since been continued -and we are now happy to inform the
public that the Block Houses, Nos. 3 and 4 are to be placed
immediately in a state of defence by the Commandant of the
Garrison, and placed forthwith under the care of Lieutt.

Extracts from a Letter dated Cobourg, Dec, 7.

*' On Tuesday niglit a Courier arrived here post haste from
Toronto, with orders for the Volunteers to proceed iminediatly
thither. Aljout £00 fioiii this place, Port Hope, and the ad-
joining county, left this day fur active service. The last ac<
counts from Toronto, are by the Bteanier Traveller, which
arrivtd here last night, on her way to Kingston for stores,
aims, artillery, &c. Last ni(.Lt the Western mail was taken
as It was going into Toronto, and destroyed by Mackenzie ;
aid the mail made up at Turonto for below, was also taken,
a lew miles below that city.

■' All the leading refunuers of Toronto, Bidwell, Baldwin,
&c. are under Rrms with the Government |)«rty.

•> Two Schooners with about 200 men have arrived at Xj-
runto, from Niagara and Hamilton.

" Mackenzie's party is variously ttated, it is said that he
has 500 blacks, besides a large nnmbcr of Indians." [So
much for rumor.]

*' Since the Volunteers left this to-day, accounts have been
received by two fanners that numbers of Mackenzie's party
are in ambush between this place and Turonto, waiting for
them, and that this infuriuation was given to the volunteers
when they met them, so that they luicht be on their guard.
This, 1 have no doubt is the case, at the last stage that arrived
