the tiiLw to regard, in a true light, the effeot 
 that an adverse issae of the sharp contest then 
 waged would have produced. Our position, 
 at the above mentioned eventful period, is 
 well described in the following extract from 
 an address delivered by the late Hon. Wm. 
 Hamilton Merritt| on the occasion of laying 
 the foundation stone of Brock's Monument, 
 on the 13th October, 1853 : 
 
 '* It will be in the recollection of many now 
 
 " present^ that in the commencement of the 
 
 ** war of 1812, only one regiment of British 
 
 ^^ "troops, the^(<rih, was left to defend Upper 
 
 ** Canada, from Kingston to Michilimackinao, 
 
 ** a distance of one thousand miles, and dur- 
 ** ing the whole campaign, only two oompa- 
 
 ^ ^ '* nies of the 46th could be spared on this 
 
 ^ <* frontier.* Although this fact is one of the 
 
 "most striking events connected with that 
 
 * Eecruiting and drilliDg were being briskly ear- 
 ried on about Quebec and Montreal. Some troops be- 
 gan to arrive, about the beginning of March,1813, from 
 the Lower Piovinces. The 104th Regiment had ar- 
 rived overland from Frederickton in New Brunswick, 
 by the valley of the St. John's river, through an im- 
 penetrable forest, for hundreds of miles, to Lake Tem- 
 iscouta, and from thence to Reviere-du-Loup, pro- 
 ceeding upwards along the south shore of the St. 
 Lawrence.— i2o^«r«' History of Canada. 
 
*' war, it has never yet been brought promi- 
 ^'nently before the public; yet it clearly 
 ''proves that the defence of Canada, then 
 ** rested with its inhabitants. We find that 
 " though they consisted principally of the old 
 "U. E. Loyalists and their descendants, the 
 ^ native indians who had been dispossessed 
 "of their possessions in the United States, 
 ** and their descendants, together with resi- 
 '< dents from the United States— emigration 
 <* from the Mother country not having been 
 « commenced to any extent,— a population 
 <Uhus composed, not exceeding in Upper 
 ''Canada, at most 90,000, without troops, 
 " without munitions of war, without resour- 
 *' ces, and without the least eixpectation of any 
 " timely aid from the mother country, with a 
 ** few troops, unable to contend against a 
 "powerful nation, numbering about 8,000,000 
 *' with munitions of war, and resources with- 
 "out limit, within a comparatively short dis- 
 '* tanoe from maratime cities, also numerous 
 '* forces at command, of which they were not 
 (*b1ow of apprising us, in the proolamations 
 ^* oiroulated from time to timei^it was under 
 
 /^c. s/ // 
 
** those circumstances that the character aod 
 ** ability of Sir Isaac Brock wcro brought to 
 '* light. Well knowing on whom he had to 
 *^ depend for the defence of tho country, he 
 '* directed his personal attention to the doth* 
 ** ingy arms, equipment* moss, and personal 
 <t comfort of the militia, and took every op- 
 *'portunity of gaining the good will of the 
 "Indians." - 
 
 Of the Provincial troops^ the Glengary 
 Ki giment of Infantry took perhaps the most 
 active part. At the age of 15, Jonathan Phil- 
 Hns enlisted in this corps, then being raised 
 ' roughout Oannda. The urgent necessity 
 . for recruits inducing the authorities to accept 
 youths even of that tender age. The story 
 will best bo told, as nearly as may be, in the 
 veteran's own words. ** I was born in Ducbeaa 
 County, State of New York, in the year 1796 ; 
 my father came from Devonshire, England* 
 and my mother from Edinburgh, Scotland. — 
 In 1809 my parents removed to Oanada and 
 settled in Fredericksburgh, Oouniy of Lennox 
 <& Addington. In January, 1812* I was work- 
 ing for Mr. — Ohapman, in Fredericksburgh,

 getting out square pine, oak, and Btavea; 
 whilst thus employ edy Oapt. Judkins, forroer* 
 ly of the 104th Regiment of the Line, asked me 
 to enHaty and I joined the Glengarysi and in a 
 hw days after was sent to Kingston with 
 about twenty other recruits from Fredericks- 
 burgh, Richmond, and Ernestown. We re- 
 mained in Kingston till navigation opened, 
 when the recruits astrembled at that place, 
 about 200 in all, descended the St. Lawrence 
 in batteaux to Three Rivers, where we re, 
 ceived uniformsy arms and accoutrements, and 
 commenced to learn our drill. The corps now 
 numbered about 800. 
 
 Towards autumn we were ordered to Que- 
 becy in charge of about 1000 prisoners from 
 General fluirs army, captured In the West, 
 We remained at Quebec a month or six weeks. 
 In Octobery 1812, we were ordered to the 
 -West, (the season is recalled from the reeol- 
 lectio!! that as they marched from Quebec the 
 farmers were busy catting wheat on the hill- 
 eidesy and the snow was falling at the time.) 
 The march was by the North shore road to 
 Montreal Here we remained all winter^ ex- 
 
6 
 
 peotiog the Americans to attack that city.— 
 the month of March, before the sleighing 
 was gone, the regiment was ordered to King- 
 on, taking with them several pieces of can- 
 notty which were drawn by oxen. The men 
 marched. The cattle that drew the cannon 
 and baggage, were slaughtered at Kingston 
 for provisions. We remained a month at 
 Kingston, and then passed up the Bay of 
 i^ulate l0)the Garry log Place in batteauz. The 
 baggage and batteauz were transported across 
 the isthmus into Lake Ontario, and we re-em- 
 barked for York. On our arrival at York we 
 were forwarded with all despatch to Burling- 
 ton Bay. We first met the Yankees at Stoney 
 Greek, and then pushed on towards Fort 
 George. We halted at the village of St. 
 Davids^and eneamped at the cross-roads. — 
 The Yankees held Fort Qeorge : when they 
 4ifloovered we were so near them they retreat* 
 ed upott Slack Greek. We followed them up, 
 and had a battle with them at Lundy's Lan«, 
 on 25th July, 1813. In this afifair I was in 
 the advance guard, or reoonnoitering party. 
 The eneoiy retreated upon Fort Erie, and we 
 
 11 
 
 
 I 
 
pursued them and bad atveral BkirmiBhes with 
 them. They blew up the Fort and evacuated 
 Canada. In the fall of the year we marched 
 back to York; there we embarked in bat- 
 teaux and came to the Oarryiog-Place— thence 
 we oroBsed into the Bay of Quinte and thence 
 by batteauz to Kingston. From Kingston we 
 marched to Adolphuetown Court House, and 
 
 were billeted upon the farmers in that vicinity 
 during the ensuing winter. There were from 
 
 eight to ten men in each house. Whilst here 
 we assembled every day at the Court House, 
 at 10 A.M., for drill,— we were at least 800 
 strong.* 
 
 On the 28rd March, 1814, all the three 
 years' men were paraded at the Court House 
 paid off, and discharged. iBach man so dfa- 
 charged drew 100 acres of land in Upper 
 Canada, farming utensils, and a year's pro- 
 
 * Our nniform was of bottle green coloared oloth, 
 withitbree rows of white metal bell-buttons on tbe 
 coat. The buttons bote as arms the rose, shamrock 
 and thistle, and the words " Canadian Light Infantry 
 Fencibles, R- G." In the sammer we wore bucket^ 
 shaped hats, with peaks and a green cockade. In 
 winter we wore fur caps, with a long green cloth 
 thangiog from the top over the left shoulder, and at 
 the end of this green doth a green tassel. J.F.
