.... , ,...q. ,~-- . ..L:_ . - - Teeters hold him up as t he cause •of these difficulties, which in every Session of Parliament are made a ground. of irritation and the obslreiii t t of the public business. By these means, and sra g him in a paper sup ported by Papineau, the late Speaker of the House, Vize, and abdot ten others, they expect to get him recalled, and a more pliant character sent out ; but it will be a most difficult, if not an impossible task for.any man that has a regard for his duty to please them ; nor is it likely that they will keep on good terms with him beyond the first Session. In the Resolutions passed by the House last Spring was discovered too plainly their fixed design of insulting the Governor so as to oblige him to prorogue them ; and then to charge him with a wanton abuse of his prerogative. The Canadians as a body are totally ignorant of the real difference between the parties ; but are told that the Governor wishes to tax them for the purpose of providing for Placemen and Pensioners! and that no account is rendered by him of the public money thus said co be squandered away on his creatures. These falsehoods (mixed up with feats for their religion and property) attach all the Canadians to this junto: and to a man they will side with them. I do not mean that they would be disloyal in case of any emergency, but they will always return Members to Parliament whose principles are such as I have described. The English Population is unrepresented, an I must be so until the Provinces are united, and the Townships represented. You will learn that the English portion of the com munity in this district are about addressing the Governor on the occasion of the refusal of Mr. Papineau, as Speaker of the Lower House. The Address will be very generally signed, except by the Canadians, and some Irish Catholics. On the other hand, the latter are preparing a meeting to decide upon sending home . Deputies to the Kittg and Parliament, with a Petit;on on the subject of their grievances, so that our diffi culties must be noticed. If lam correctly informed, they do not mean to state the Act of the 14th of George the Third as one of their grievances, nor do they mean to complain of the Governor's refusal of Mr. Papineau as Speaker, though the former is the cause of our Legislative differences, and the latter has prohibited the Session of our Parliament. These are delicate points that will bring them into contact with the Imperial Parliament, which it is their policy to avoid. I believe, that among their grievances are the defalcation of the late Receiver Ge neral, and Mr. Percival's exaction of fees un warranted by law, and the Trade Act ; with all which the Governor has nothing to do ; and if these deputies have not other causes of complaint, they may as well stay at home. In two or three days their views will be explained, and a collection of 2,0001. attempted to defray the expenses of the Deputies to England. I think Government must and will come to some decision about the Financial Question, till when there cannot be harmony in our Legislature; nor would an angel, if sent as Go vernor, give them satisfaction. They will get as many crosses as they please to any petition they may draw up, and reckon on the overwhelming force they can bring into the field, as also on some good intentioned attached friends, they say they possess in your capital. It is my sincere' opinion that there is scarcely an Englishman in the country who would not unite wish them in obtaining redress of real grievances, but we feel none; we ate the happiest and freest people on earth, and cannot be brought to the opinion that our blessings will be augmented by French do-, mination and ascendency. Tt.e French Habitants themselves. were they not tamperei with by the Junto, would be among the first to appreciate and acknowledge the benefits they derive from their con nection with Great Britain; with all their ignorance they are not so blind as not to see that it is to this connexion that they owe their freedom from taxa tion, and a market for the produce of their industry. After all it must be acknowledged, that the higher parts of a free legislative government were given to them before they were (as a people) sufficiently enlight ened to deserve it, and it is a misfortune that the old French institutions tend to perpetuate this moral dark ness. MONTREAL, Dye. 17. It is to be hoped that the Colonial* Secretary WI. not hastily decide on any measure deeply affecting the intere.ts of the Colony on underhand, interested, end partial representations of private individuals. We have increased confidence here since Mr. Stan ley's appointment ; for in the short time he was with us, the little he said is reported to have shewn sound views of Colonial matters, and to have evinced great interest in our prosperity. Such policy as I have seen and heard recommended would be the ruin of the country ; at the same time many changes could and must he made for the better. Some acts of Lord Dal housie's may ce►tainly be disapproved of; some have had t►.e appearance of resentment, which have made trim unpopular among the Canadians, and have been subjects of regret among his friends; still I must say. l that he is an excellent, benevolent, kind-hearted man ; ho sincerely wishes for and endeavours to promote the happiness and welfare of the people over whom he has been sent to govern ; but hbhas a difficult game to play, he cannot, he dare not, without authority Irom borne, allow the encroachments and pretensions of the House of Assembly. Now although he has sufficient firmness to maintain his own dignity, and what ate considered the unques tionable rights of the Crown, it may be thought that a Hale more r , f the Courtier might not depreciate the firmness of the Soldier : in short, that the ' , JO/liter in re" might be made compatible with the 44 suaviter hal wodo, he may possibly have occasionally identified too much the politician with the individual. A cris:s however has arrived; the British Parliament must interfere, and decide, and settle the point in dis pute ; and on that decision will depend whether this superb Colony is for ever to preserve the French fea tures (in some respects obsolete and ill-suited to the intelligence of the era) in Laws, Customs, Religion, Principles, and Language, or to become the aboc'e of British feelings, British principles, British jurisprudence, and the enterprize and intelligence which cry where fallow them. 1 here is to be a great assembly of Canadian Notables to.morrow, to pass resolutions which will be solliciently severe against the Governor, and to appoint Delegates to carry a list of their grievances, real and itssaginary rl to the foot of the Throne; the concluding prayer ee l which will be to recall the Noble Lord, to give wit, sicci.unt of bis stewardship, and to appoint another. am reedy to pray for the same event also, unless the' un.on of the Provinces is determined on; for so bitter is the House of Assembly against him, that nothing but anarchy and confusion will reign +whilst he remains among us, notwithstanding his high honour and inde fatigable exertions for the good of the Colony. When a fresh Governor is appointed, I shall be glad that he be a Civilian, of high character, good fleshes, and good talents; free from prejudice and party, and one whdl thoroughly understanes the theory and practice of the British Constitution. In such case, respect would be paid to his opiwous. THE EV ENING_STARS LOND(111T• WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2S, MS. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

As soon as they had taken their seats, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod proceeded to summon the attendance of the House of Commons to their Lordship? Bar. Mr. Rickman, one of the Clerks attended by several other Officers of the House of Com. mons, made his appearance in a few minutes, when the Royal Proclamation authorising the Lords Commis sioners to prorogue the Parliament to Tuesday next, the 29th of January, was read by one of the Clerks. The LORD CHANCELLOR then, in the usual form, de clared the Parliament to be prorogued to that day. The Dumber of visitors assembled below the bar to witness the ceremony, was unusually great, and not a little surprise was excited among them by the circum stance of the Proclamation distinguishing several Peers, Members of the late Administration, by their official titles ; this course was departed from only in the instances of Viscount Goderich and Lord Bexley, and it would appear from this fact that these two were the only Peers whose resignation of office had been accepted by his Majesty up to the day on which the Royal Proclamation was dated. Yesterday the Duke of WELLitmEox, as First Lord of the Treasury ; Mr. PEEL, as Principal Sr. cretary of State for the Home Department ; Mr. Gout-RI/RN, as Chancellor of the Exchequer ; Earl BATHURST, as President of the Council; and Lord MELVILLE, as President of the Board of Controul, received their several appointments in due form from the KING, at Windsor. The Marquis of LANSDOWN. the Earl of CARLISLE, Lord BxxLEE, and Mr. HERRIES, had previously resigned into his MATES. Ey's hands the Seals of their respective offices. The new Ministerial Appointments did not take place in sufficient time for the publication of the Gazelle; but on Friday the whole of them, including the Board of Treasury, will be officially announced. The minor appointments, it is expected, will also have taken place by that time. This day Earl BATHURST, the Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord ELLENROROUGH, and other Noble Lords, visited the Foreign Office, in Downing•street, in consequence of their new appointments. Mr. GOULBURN had an interview with Mr. HERMES, by way of initiation, as his successor in the office of Chancellor of the Egchequer. We received last night the Paris Papers of Monday : they are neatly destitute of news. In an article from the Dwina, it is stated that the execution of the measures agreed upon to be employerd against Turkey by land was to be entrusted to Russia, as being best calculated for it from her position, her interest, the attitude she has assumed, and, above all, from the -moneration to which she was pledged. " He alone," we are told, " oho chooses to be blinded in spite of evidence, can impute to Russia projects of aggrandizement. The Quotidienne in a letter from Madrid, ,announces the intention of the Spanish Government to equip another expedition for the reconquest of South America, and assures us th at the Emperor of RUSSIA joins his CATHOLIC MAJESTY in the enterprize. We have extracted from these Papers, and given in another column an account of the present state of the French Navy, which shews that in the silence and ap• parent repose of the last few years, the naval power of France has grown to a degree which surpasses that of every other nation, England excepted. She has now 45 first rate ships of the line, besides 19 on the stocks, and 214 frigates and small vessels. Ascouats received from Park, state, that the King of Faawca has passed a new law against the Jesuits, which is expected in London to-morrow. Letters fiom Havannah state that the rains had been frequent and heavy, in consequence of which the Coffee crop had suffered much. LOWER CANADA.—The British brig King Fisher was detained by Governor DALHOUSIE until the result of the affair with the Provincial Parliament could be for warded to London, with official documents.

The marriage of the Princess Faotsciaz with the Prince of Ho 'mums LAUGENBOURCI is fixed for the 18th of February. It wil l be solemnized privately, at Kensington. Palace. His MAJESTY will give the bride away. The Duchess of is ENT has entertained several parties at dinner lately, to meet the Prince of HOHEI4LOIII LACGINSOURO; and her Royal Highness will give a grand assembly previous to the marriage. Yesterday morning the Duke of CLARENCt milted at the Admi ralty from Bushy Park. His Royal Highness continued to transact business during the day, and in the evening returned to Bushy Park. Yesterday morph% the Marquis of Lexspowx, the Earl of Cats- Lista, Mr. BERRIES, Lord Bzxtiv, /cc. proceeded to the Royal Lodg« in Windsor Park. Shortly after their arrival they had audiences of his MAJESTY, when they respectively resigned their seals of office. The Duke of Wittutrovou, Mr. Pau, Mr. Goutsuan, Viscount Mxt-viLts, Eat I BATHURST, and others of the new Ministers, were afterwards introduced to his Msaesry to kits hands upon their 2p. pnintment, and those to whose official situations seals of office are attached received them. It is not, however, expected that the new Ministers will act in their capacity until they have been sworn in, or declared before the KING in Council, which proceeding has always hitherto been considered necessary. Mr. Gairetur, one of the Clerks of the Privy Council, was in constant attendance yesterday till a late hour, expecting a Council to be summoned. The Duke of Wruniatort gave a grand dinner yestetdey at his residence in Piccadilly, to the members of the new Administration. Among those present were the LORD CHANcotsoa, Mr. Husuissox, Mr. Gout.susiu, Earl DUDLEY,ViSCOWIt PALMERSTON, Mr.Pzu., &c. Yesterday the Prussian Minister, the Ambassador from the King of the Netherland., and the French Charge d'Afaires, tran sacted business with Earl DUDLEY at the Foreign Office, in Down ing-street. Mr. Cott:lt:mono, the Minister from the Hans Towns, transacted business at the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonial De- • partmeut.

The Singapore Chronicle of August 30, says—We regret Lion the total loss of a very fine ship, the Loretto, which let port on the 22d of last month, bound for London. She proceeded safely on her voyage till the nth of this month, when at 4 r. - were abreast of an island, described as lying off the east Carimata, and which at six P.M. bore S.W. by W. W soundings of ten, eleven, and twelve fathoms, and continuii eoutse, at half-past nine the vessel grounded on a shoal, the above-mentioned bearing from it N.W.

All endeavours to gets he vessel off fruitless. For the first three days she made little or no oral on the fourth she began rapidly to fill, owing, as was suppi the starting of a plank. The pumps were of course set but with so little erect, that she had soon thirteen feet w.stf well. Her situation being now desperate; all hands took boats, which were well provided with water, provisions, and and in about a quarter of an hour from quitting the ship, f o r her taken possession of by five or six pirate prams which in hovering around for two or three days before, like vultures log for a dying prey. The boats made the best of their this port, and arrived here on the 20th inst. all well. Gamortice, Jaw. 18.—Wednesday, the 16th instant, the brig, Captain Munroe, bound for Demerara, and the Jane I. a large brig, 550 toms register, fur Calcutta, and the rlladai also a large vessel, outward bound, together with several smaller vessels, sailed from this pot., the wind blowing hard from S.E. During the night, the wind increased to a heavy gale, with. snow and sleet, and the Hawk having been beat out as far as Lam lash, was compelled, by the violence of the storm, to put back, and. in attempting to weather the GarruchHead, the southernmost point of the Isle of Bute, struck, and almost immediately went to pieces; and on the following morning not a vestige of her was to be seen. The crew with great difficulty got on shore ; but owing to the in elemency of the night two of the hands perished in the snow; the rest arrived here this evening, totally destitute, they having saved nothing but what was on their persons. Great fears are entertained for the safety of the other vessels, as the Henry BM steam-packer, on her way from Liverpool, while passing the ruck of Ailsa yes terday at noon, during the continuance of the gale, descried four men descending the rock, showing signals of distress. They its vain endeavoured to launch a ship's boat then upon the beach ; they seemed unable to move it, in consequence of the heavy surge. From the stoic of the weather, the - Henry Bell could render therm no assistance. The owners of the Jane Haddow sai ed this alter. noon a the Samson steam-boat, to ascertain the fate of those poor sufferers, whoever they might he. The Jane Haddow had on board a cargo valued at 80,0004 About two o'clock on Monday se'nnight, the Helena and Maria. 1150 tons, Bartholomew Karstens, master, from Amsterdam for Rio Janeiro, was towed into Falmouth in a most distressing situa tion, by his Majesty's packet Plover, Lieut. Jennings. She left Amsterdam on the 4th of January, with 350 passengers, men, wo- men, and children, Oldeoburgers, Prussians, Am emigrating to Rio Janeiro. Oe Saturday night and Sunday she encountered a tre mendous gale about 40 miles N.N.E. of the Lizard, the sea all the time breaking furiously over her. The hatches were obliged to be left open to save the passengers from suffocation. when there being seven feet water in the hold, all their dry provision spoiled, and every thing swept from the deck—the Captain, to ease the vessel, deemed it prudent to cut away the mainmast and foretopmast. In this dreadful situation she remained till Monday morning, when nearing the Lizard lights, she made signals of distress, by firing guns, &c. At 11 o'clock she was boarded by a fishing-boat, and by her landed a man who was sent express overland to Falmouth for a pilot, wbo reached her about 12 o'clock. Soon after the Plover packet hove in sight, when Lieut. Jennings tendered his assistance and towed her into Falmouth harbour at two o'clock on Monday afternoon. The scene of misery exhibited in the streets of Fal mouth is truly distressing ; and the unfortunate passengers deprived of all they possessed, are objects of the utmost conitniseration. A meeting is to be called fur the relief of the unfortunate sufferers.— Ehriswell Genetic FRENCH NAVY. 7110111 ?MS PHARE DU HARE.

ALWAYS HAPPY. An Italian Bishop struggled through great difficulties without repining, and met with much opposition is discharge of his episcopal functions, without betraying the least impatience. One of his intimate friends, who highly admired those vir tues which he thought it impossible to imitate, one day asked the Prelate If he could communicate the secret of being always easy?—" Yes," replied the old man, 64 I can teach you my secret, and with great facility ; it consists in nothing more than making a right use of my eyes." His friend begged of him to explain him self.—" Most willingly, returned the &shop: "in whatever state I am, I first of all look up to Heaven, and remember that my principal business here is toget there : I then look down upon the earth, and call to mind how small a space I shall occupy in it when I come to be interred ; I then look abroad into the world, and observe what multitudes there are who are in all respects more unhappy than myself. Thus I learn where true happiness is placed, where all our cares must end, and what little reason I have to repine or to complain, LIST. r Secretary to the his dice in the b e t y other Olken, mom of Foot has Oast.
