"The vote was now for 30,0001. but behind it there was mother for 900,0001. and when this was Rained there would come a vote for ;L900.0001. exclusive of the vote of 500,0001. for the Rideau Canal. Thirty thousand pounds was the only jam now demanded by the Right Honourable Gentle was the sum the House by that man; but 2,300,0001. rote was called on to pledge itself for. He had last year :voted 41,0001. for the Rideau Canal.; he said that to his shame, or rather to the shame cf the qovernmFot, which had brought forward the vote in such a Trey alto make him think that great commercial and military advan tages could beobtained for a comparatively small sum. Mr. Clowes had omitted many expenses necessary for, the execution of the project, as well as many item under the head of contingencies. Yet this was the only estimate on which Ministers, in the last Session, called upon Parliament to pledge themselves to a vote for 41,0001. ai covering one-fourth of an intended expen diture, which pow amounted to 527,000/. The House was called upon to vote this sum, apd were told, if they ' did not do so, all the immense sums already expended would be sacrificed and lost. Lieutenant Colonel Bye bad pledged the honour of the Government to contracts to the amount of 100,0001 besides other expenses to the extent of 61,0001. If lie wanted any proof of the military propensities,notions and habits of Ministers,what stronger evidence could he have than their conduct on this occa sion ? For the first time, on the 4th July, the House heard of a supplementary estimate of 31,0001. and were called upon to vote that sum on the next day. This vote pledged the House to a farther expenditure of tivilinitlions, and that at a time when the Fi ii anceCons mittee wash ppointed, on account of the extremely low and desperate state of the finances--(Hear). By 'the lowest showing of the Right Hon. Gentleman, the expenditure would be 2.5;;0.0001. and this was to be spent upon a country • hich they were told it would be so difficult tb retain— (Hear). But had the Treasury Benches forgot that another Committee was Oren sitting upon the Govern. ment, or rather mis government of Cauada—to ascertain how far. Ministers had alienated the affections of the Pe9Ole, who were the greatest safety, the only fortifica tions which the Mother Country could depend upon E..: the nreseriration of the Colony? It might be a subject of inquiry ivheiherifwere notwise to transfer to the Colonists themselves the management of their own affairs. With respect to the works themselves, the two were inge niously selected by the Right Hon. Gentleman, so as to render it difficult to disprove his arguments. The Right Honourable Gentleman bad talked of the event of an invasion, of being attacked by an enemy who had the- Commend at sea, who might turn the works of Nova Scotia, and attack the country. Why, Sir, were this to he the case, not all the works in the world would defend the colony. As to Kingston, what was the event of the naval battles of the last war? lie would ask, Wat were the Americans doing at Sacker ' s Harbour ? ere they indulging in any great scale of expendi tire like this country? No; the Americans were dis- Mantling their fortifications —they were reducing their expensei—they were reserving their resources ; .lot-they well knew that the sinews of war were to be strengthened only by the economy of peace. The Duke of Wellington, in his examination before the Commit. tee, had preferred the postponement of those works which the Right Hon. Gentleman was now pressing on the House as the first to be executed. In the late war, the Colonists, unsupported, successfully defended theist selves from the Americans. When he knew the diffi culty that the United States felt in maintaining their troops foi invasion, and that they depended on their Militia, which were excellent troops for self-defence, hot not for foreign aggression ; when he knew that the greatest Statesmen of America, so far from wanting an linftfase Of territory , already felt their possessions to be tossfarg! ; *ben he knew that the United States had no itsclinattoa to iova . de Canada, except to annoy Great 'lliitain, he could put avoid seeing that this expenditure *as wanton apd uncalled for by any real necessity. Sir E. OWEN would not enter into the discursive opinions which the Hon. Member had uttered, but be would maintain ;hat the greatest difficulty was felt daring last war, from the want of the means of tramp faring men and stores to the point of attack ; almost halt OM stores were lost in the transport, and the remainder Weft conveyed with great difficulty, with many impti dimeots, and at a great expense. -The proposed works : mould obviate all such difficulties. How great the ad. vantage would be if the requisite stores, and if a regi. mem of soldiers could be put on board of a steam boat, and, by mean; of this canal, be copveyed in four or five days so the point at which their services might be re ! qehired. A fortification at the commencement of the works was necessary to secure their operation, and such fortifications would. in general, be useful as depots of slims, c and for the purpose of forming the militia. The less of the naval supremacy in Lake Erie, during the last war, was the consequence of the initerruptimt which the canal would remove. Great Britain had pre. served the supetiority on Lake Ontario, and Lake Champlain had nothing to do with the contest. The 'great importance of Canada to England, in a corn mercial point of view, would justify the expenditure which the House was called upon to vote. Mr. MABERLY thought it necessary to know the whole amount of the ettronMe, before the House voted the stun required. The etpesile that had been incurred was 436,7261 s and it was intended to complete the iv& peovements at a further expense of 1,334,0001. making a total of 1,771,0001. This alluded to the first class of expenditure, but with the second and third classes, the total' atistruilLetobld be not less than 2,833,0001. The total eeptilirritre ' with the works at Halifax, would be 3,000,0001. The ' Duke • of Wellington had said, that whin those works were coMplete, the country might be defended with ten thousand troops. Other MiNntry men had thought that double that number would be requisite; and .certainly the defence and oct caption of the Proposed works would require a great body of troop,. If the works were not well occupied, they would be taken by the enemy. The Government had alienated the affection' of the people of Canada, sand it would not bt`pessible to retain the country long. With respect to the trade with Canada, he believed if a debtor and creditor account could be produced it would be tonna that, in a commercial point of view, the co lony pas a disadvantage rather than a benefit 'to the mother country. England could buy timber much cheaper than from the Canadians. . Mr. ROBINSON should support the grant, for he !denied that the vote would pledge the House to grant .ing any further sums. - Mr. STANLEY said, that the Right Hon. Gentleman had confessed,th4 the present vote was only part of what he inteodedio 4 A from Parliament. Sir H. HARDINGE said, be roust correct thenotion lestAis Hon. Friend behind him (Mr. Robinson). Al} be could say was,•that when the further grunts were asked rold ti m Parliament, Members would have ample means a ded of making up their minds on the subject. T. STANLEY was convinced it was intended m filllow up the vote to its full extent, and if this we're the case, the Right lion. Gentleman ought, in candour and fairness, to declare it. _ Sir H. H A RDINGE said that the improttementef the.. Colony would be so great, by the present vote, that he should consider a great deal was done for its defence...` He could not, for a moment, :4, that if 900,000/. Wert spent instead of 530,0001. the defence would not he more perfect ; but he would assert. that the dOenee itself was an object of such importance, that inr1.1526 heretrived ql7p:siLloati"t orde r s to and"the only reapfin why. trn hey Sie t e the f by o o t w t i r p ) d e works t D i u i k e e r in 6' o l o not brought for ward was die Doke of t beini seat upon a special mission - to st, Petersburgh. In the FfitanceCommiftee he had biought forward.the subje ct , • without any appearance of concealment. In selecting the two points ofilalifix and Kingston, he had merely followed up the plan which had been assented to in 1826. The present vote would not involve more than 330,0004 Mr. ROBINSON . said, that with every dispositinn to support the vote, he could not possibly do so after the explanations given by th- Right Hon. Gentleman. Lord JOHN RUSSELliesaid he regretted that.* Finance Com mittee haid`pietely given the whole amount, itrithnidany account eft partitUlars, or any Other state ment ofevidinee en'tile subject. He could not but . i. trait this enormous expense of 2 500,0001. and it manner in which the House was treated, with the conduct of tdr.Pitt upon an . analogous occasion. Whin Mr. Pitt vias'at the head of the country, he withed to forward the views of the Duke of R chmond, in forti s fying Plymouth and Portsmouth, at an expense or .0000(11: which was afterwards to be increased to 700,0001. He obtained a vote of 20,0004 but finding that the House was inclined against the measure, he did 0,4 Spend that suns, but referred the whole qoestioreto Board of Military and Naval Officers, who repotted upon the subject. Nest year he wishei to have the works undertaken after the Board had made .tieir port. • Mr. Pitt - made one of the best 'pm/ie. on the subject he ever uttered, but the House was so nosily bal *need in opinion, that there was an equal division, and the Speaker gave his casting vote. He could not but contrast this with the precipitancy el the present • measure. He at least expected from ;the Right Honourable and Q4llant Gentleman .(the cretary of State) some little explanation why they had been induced to take this extraordinary sstep. It was now, too, proposed for the first time to undertake the defence of our Colonies by a laud tsar, and to trans port an army across the globe for the purpose of defend ing them. To the commencement of a system of that kind he decidedly objected; and when he considered the slender thread by which those Colonies were bound 'to this country, and the smallness of the trade which this country carried on with them, he certainly thought it would be wiser to wait another year, and until they Made more extended inquiries, Ir fore they cOnsentedzo the expenditure of so large a sum in fortifications. It was said that there fortifications were necessary to se cure the Canadas to this country, and to provideforthe safety of all its West India pos essions ; but he.could tell them that a piece of parchment of barely ten lines containing the name of Ireland, would do more to se cure the safety of England at,d her possessions, than the expenditure of all her millions--(Hear, hear.) Mr. M. FITZGERALD complained of .the method of treating the question of the Colonies as a matter-of pounds, shillings and pence. If Parliament was deter mined to have Colonies, it was their duty to preserve them, and he could tell them that Halifax was one of the finest harbours in the world, and that as long se they held it, and had a-canal to carry up stores intoithe Interior, the Americans would never again venture/a attack us upon Lake Ontario . , or disturb that commerce which we carried on with the inhabitants cf the distant settlements. Looking, therefore, at the importance at preserving Canada, and at the importance of being pr a. tided with a proper defence in he event of war, lefelt bound to vote against his friends around him, and saps port the grant-.-(Hear. hear). Mr. LABOUCHERE thought that it was the yeti worst species of economy to leave the Canadas mites tested; and when he considered the vast expense •te which the country was put doting the last war, wheel we were found unprepared, he was compelled to wow for the grant, unless he heard that they were prepared for the alternative that it was determined not to defend Canada in the event of its being invaded. It was wrong to bold out Canada in a defenceless state, as a tempts-. tion to America, and to the disturbance of that state of harmony which be wished to preserve. He gave hit vote therefore for the grant, on one condition. that the Government would apply itself honestly and energetiii cally to a redress of the grievances of the Canadas, and to the prosecution of that system of conciliation which could alone preserve that feeling of loyalty and affection to the mother country which had been.so conspicuous on every occaeieu—(Hear, hear). Mr. BARING thought that the House ought not no consider the question of money too rigidly, if the sAtits were, as had been stated, one which involved the tan of this country. At the same time they must net coo sider that two and a half millions would be the limit of the expense of these works. Of this they must be satisfied when they recollected the manner in which building, et tiarated at 150,0001. had swelled to 500,0001. They must also recollect the enormous cost of the Caledonian Csai beyond the original estimate, and other under takris :a this couetry,which,not w i th stand ing they-were conduced under our own eyes, far exceeded the expectations of she projectors. By this observation he meant not to imp:Ac any thing wilful or negligent to the persons who had e"' timated the'works in Canada. It was invariably theme in such undertakings, and he could only say thnt he should be very sorry to belong to any company which 0 0014 undertake to execute these works for doable or eve's treble the amount named. Under these circumstance , . as it was manifest they were now called upon to embark in a scheme which would entail an enormous expeD upon them, it became them setiously to consider to what end they were proceeding. The object was the retention and defence of the Canadas, and they me to inquire whether that particular colony watone why ' they were likely to be able to anoexpermaneptly to tbio country. For hie own part, he believedthatii wawa one of a nature destined to be permanently attached;" any European State—(Hear.:hear). The histtii yof 0 own country for the l as t fi fty years powe r tu i ly tende d to that conclusion, and experience ought to give t wisdom as to the future.
