The 12th of July, 1812, witnessed the first invasion of" Canada by a ioreign nation since the American Revolution, when General Hull, in command of a force of 2,000 men, inarched from the Ohio to Michigan, and with several field pieces, cros- sed the Detroit River near Sana- wich. Theré he issued his famous proc- lamation, marked by a tone of sure conquest, offering protection to the people who weré' neutral, to "'eman- 'ipate them from tyranny and op- pression, and to be restored to the dignifled station of freedom." iqually dire threats were issued in 4se¢ of opposition or reprisals, es- pecially if the Indians weré to take sides with the Canadians, "It 1s not possible to conceive a ountiry less prepared to enter war They call the outstanding episodes of the | eT ---- ------ PAGER | i | . .

With 4 population of less than half a mil- lion in Upper and Lower Canada, vith an exposed - frontier of _haif al million miles, from Quebec to Sand- | wich, with a fightin force of only »,UUU regulars and with an almost | *mpty public treasury, Canada was | 'emingly ill-prepared indeed for a | Var cither defensive or offensive. :L.was, on the other hand, opposed ¥Y a country of nearly gix millions | vhites, backed by a war credit of | ¢leven millions. The odds were cer- | ainly against Canada, and Madi- | sons expressed belief that Hull | vould have "an easy and victorious | rogress" would seem to have some | oundation, when" the fighting re ources of the two countries were ompared. And yet the actual outbreak of 10stilities did not surprise General Jrock, for he had looked upon it 48 Inevitable. Nor did the announ- | cient of the armistice deter. him | viagara, of summoning an extra | 'ession "of the legisiature, and - of | establishing his own headquarters at fort George, but any energetic measures planned by the general in| vemumand were in large measure | aullified by the attitude of Prevost, de governor-general, who believed | 4 declaration of war impossible, or, | «f declared, that offensive measures b would not soon be taken. This in che face of the fact that Hull had already started for Detroit, there (0 plan his Canadian invasion. Then we came to the 17th of July, | one hundred years ago to-day, when de first victory of the struggle fell 0 a small British and Canadian force, in the capture of one of the :nemy's forts, and that without the discharge { of a single combatant! This led to tae i t of a musket or tae death | of the war drama which were laid in | opening scenes the west, as it then was. A little group of islands in the northern end | )f Lake Huron were destined to be the theatre of this initial episode, | and though it occupies but a few | tes fa the history of the war, the | capture of Michilimachinac {nfiu- enced any undecided Indians to! throw in their lot with the British | side, and spread a much-needed con- | fidence through the alarmed pro- | vince of Upper Canada. In the centre of Mackinaw Island | to-day, a few earthworks are aill that remain of the American fort! of 1812. A miniature garrison of | ouly sixty-one regulars held posses- | striking distance, and therefore un- | prepared for defence. | On the adjoining island of Saint Joseph, Captain Roberts held a min- iature garrison to protect the ac- casional traders that made their way to and from Lake Superior. On the 16th of July a fleet of small craft sailed from their barracks, creep- ing close to Huron's northern shore until the Straits of Mackinaw were reached. Not very formidable must the limited force have appeared; only 33 men of the Royal 10th ve- | teran battalion, and 160 Canadian voyageurs armed with muskets and fowling pieces, and for other arma- ment two three-pounders. A few hundred half-breeds - and Iladians joined them. AH through the night the expedi- tion made its silent way over the | silent waters, and as a new day was about to dawn, the little. army of | Lake Huron beached their craft on | the shores of Michilimaehinac, lined | up in brave array under and before the rude ford, and, in true fighting surrender. And he did! The odds were the other way, though on such a small scale, and the first capture was made of a handful of men, a guan- tity of military stores and several bales of valuable furs.
