is noteworthy that Sir 'John 001 -
borne,, Who'had- been Van Rgmonds
friend and. at Waterloo
wps at the trine Van' Remand was
leading the' rebels' att Montgomery
Tavern, commanding the iteoops
that in Lower Canada were putting
down the insurrection that Pepins
eau had stirred up.
Threatened to• Shoot his General.
Colonel 'Van Egmbnd consented
to be titre militia; chief,) of sthe re-
bellion and to lead the insurgents
against Toronto which. it was ex-
pected, could be taken almost
without a struggle. Faithful to iris
undertaking, the old soldier reach•
ed the insurgent camp at Monte
gomery's Tavern early, in the morn
ing of Thursday December 7. A
council was at once held, attend-'
ed by Van Egmond, Mackenzie,
Lount, Gibson and a few others.
Mackenzie proposed that an imme-
diate advance should he made upon
the city, although it was known
that the force defending the city
had recently been reinforced by
militia that Sir Adam MacNab had
brought across the lake from ifIam-
ifton. The force at the disposal
of the Government was now great-
ly superior in number to that of
the insurgents, which, owing to
repeated desertions, was 'note re -i
duced to about five hundred. The
proposal to make an immediate at-
tackwas, therefore. vehemently op
posed by Van Egmonde who. char-
acterized it as "stark madness."
This so -enraged Mackenzie that he
threatened to shoot his general.
This threat naturally angered Van
Esmond, but he was pacified by
Lount and either leaders, who ins
formed him of the condition of
Mackenzie's nerves. At any rate,
the outcome of the council of war
was that an advance on the city
should not be made until the in
surgent force had received rein-
•forcements,
Instead of a'tftacking the city,
the insurgents soon found them.,
selves attacked. During the fore-
noon news was received! that the
militia was about to advance
against Montgemerys' Tavern, and
shortly before noon a scout came
in with the- information that the
militia were moving noirtfnvard
from the Parliament building. A
few minutest latter the glitter of
their , bayonets could be seen as
they poured over the brow of Gal-
lows, Hill. Mackenzie and Van Eg-
mond mounted each a horse , and
rode southward a short distance to
reconnoitre, The militia were now
in full view and the martial strains
of the band could be distinctly
heard. It was evident that the
decisive moment had come, and
the two rode back to the tavern
arid begun preparing for the fight.
Militia Arrived at the Farm.
About a hundred and fifty, men
were posted in a belt of woods a
short distance to the west of
lYonge street and half a mile south
of the tavern r sixty or seventy
took their, stand in the field to the
east, while the refit of the insur-
gents, having no arms, could do
nothing but look on,, some stand-
ing near the tavern, ,others takiiig
refuge within it. Having advanced
to within striking distance, the
'troops placed their two cannon
in position and opened fire, which
was returned by the insurgents
Just then the west wing of the mili
tia force came up and speedily
drove the insurgents from( the
wood, and they fled;' to the \north,
The cannon were advanced and
two shots were sent through the
tavern, causing the insurgents col-
lected there to pour out and flee
in all directions. All was now prac
tically over except the pursuit of
the fleeing insurgents, most of
whom tried to escape to the north,'
ward. -
Several of the leaders met a short
distance from the scene of their
defeat and exchanged views as to
whether it would be best to fly to
gether or separately.
Van Egnnond rode up and joined
the group. While they were talks
