THE ORANGEMEN AT MONTREAL, CANA- PA, have decided to parade on the 12th of July. The mayor's letter informing them thai they would only receive the protection of private Individuals was severely criti- cised. Six hundred participants in the pa- rade are expected from Brockville, 100 from Morrisburg, 300 from the eastern townships, aud large nombers from other points. They will parade in regalia and have bands, but not carry banners. The mayor, in his 1 .ter, pointed out that the association was not le- gaily constituted, and they bad no right to claim asa body further protection than that to which every citizen was individually en- | titled. Jn view of the many threatening ru- mors which had recently reached him he said he most earnestly and confidently en- treated the Orangemen to reconsider their decision,.and ax good, loyal citizens to avoid in their celebration any outside demonstra- tion which might on eoen & conflict, the evil conse juencesof which could not but be most deplorable.
