with them to La
Chine, where they arrived about two o'clock on Sunday
afternoon. At La Chine, Captains Richardson and Ogilvie, with
their companies of Montreal militia, and a company of the
king's from Lower Chine, commanded by Captain Blackmore,
formed the escort till they were met by Colonel Auldjo, with
the remainder of the flank companies of the militia, upon
which Captain Blackmore's company fell out and presented arms
as the general and line passed, and then returned to La Chine,
leaving the prisoners of war to be guarded by the militia
alone. The line of march then proceeded to the town in the
following order, viz:

1. Band of the king's regiment.

2. The first division of the escort.

3. General Hull in a carriage, accompanied by Captain Gray.
Captain Hull and Major Shekleton followed in the second, and
some wounded officers occupied four others.

4. The American officers.

5. The non-commissioned officers and soldiers.

6. The second division of the escort.

It unfortunately proved rather late in the evening for the
vast concourse of spectators assembled to experience that
gratification they so anxiously looked for. This inconvenience
was, however, in a great measure remedied by the illuminations
of the streets through which the line of march passed. When
they arrived at the general's house, the general was conducted
in, and presented to his excellency Sir George Prevost, and
was received with the greatest politeness, and invited to take
up his residence there during his stay at Montreal. The other
officers were accommodated at Holmes' hotel, and the soldiers
lodged in the Quebec barracks. The general appears to be about
sixty years of age, and is a good looking man, and we are
informed by those who have had frequent opportunities of
conversing with him, that he is a man of general information.
He is communicative, and seems to bear his misfortunes with a
degree of philosophical resignation that but few men in
similar circumstances are gifted with. On Thursday last
General Hull, with eight American officers, left this city for
the United States, on their parole.
