ik_v)t\N" vlded the experiment bc made under the limits and precautioes you havn k alstifly suggested. Sir Howard Douglas had been goo enough to send forward to - * Chatham, for the purpose of notifying my intention of visiting that place, and requesting that every informa -lion and assistance might be afforded me. No sooner, therefore, was' my arrival made known, than all the' -Gentlemen of the neighbourhood did me the kindness of calling to offer me their services; and before 1 left Chatham, I really believe I had seen every person in any lay acquainted with the quality of the land for fifty miles round. In such 14 mass of information, it is in no way sur prising that statements somewhat contradictory were cc • carionally made. To have taken them all down in writing • would have filled a large volume, and tended perhaps rather to contuse than expl Ain. Sufficient will, however, be found noted in the general Remar k Book, and other ac companying memoranda, ro show that though the lands immediately fronting on the gulf shore, and through • which the new line of road has for the present been opened, at* of unequal quality, yet those in rear of the • road, and in a.dirett line between Richibuctoo and Pe tecoudiac, are generally considered good and fit for settlement. It is in this latter direction that the great line of communic ition towards LI% er Canada must ultimately be laid out, so as to cross the rivers and atreatns where bridges can easily be thrown over them, reduce the distance nearly one-third of its present ex tent, and, by passing through a fir e hard wood tract, avoid the low lands, swamps, and barren., described a. occasionally occurring in the front. Although du i t C nine days I remained at Chatham, I was each day • more strongly confirmed in the belief that the tract between Petecoudiac and Miramichi, generally speak ing, wa• of a description to anstrer the purposes of emigration, I still felt that nothing ought to be left to „chance on so vital a point, and Inure particularly as it . 'concerned a part of the Colonies which it was of such Arcknowledged importance to the whole to have settled ; therefore determined on send rig surveyors through . the wood; pointing out the coutse which each was t" take ; and directing them to adopt every means for . ascertaining with the greatest possible accuracy, the quality ot the lands they passed through; and to meet me again at Kichibuctoo, with 'their several reports. The severity ot weather which subsequently took place, unprecedented at so late a period of the.spring, mate rially impeded the accomplishment of this part of my -..l . tarranigensents, and the receipt of some of the reports '''!'ctiXtrattlirom the whole of which are herewith trans ites.Ciansequently delayed till after my arrival . tin•NovitSiotia. . " • • ,* On the4th of May I left Chatham, but owing to contrary Triads and bad weather, did not reach Richi bactoo moil the night of the 9th, though the distance • by -land is only forty-five miles. The latter place, • though byiho- means so populous as the former, is well settled, and I received from' the inhabitants everypos ,., ...Able assistance and attention. Letters were wattiiig my arrival from Mr. Maclaughlan, detailing the d.fb culties occasioned by the bad weather, and stating, that as the ,toveyors had been driven to seek shelter am o,l s • the settlements, he was fearful I should have left Richi buctoo hetcoe the services required in the wooda.ceuld be completed, and had therefore directed Mr. Beckwith apJ Mr. J,ruett, after completing their surveys . . to re turn direct to their haloes, and 'send their reports frt.in . thence to await my arrival at [tibiae. Of this ahem a nion I by no mane approved; however, all I.could dd was so make the best arrangements within my mach for remedying the evil. • • - On the itch of May I went up the Richiisectoe rives • as far as it is navigable, stepping to obtain infotmattion at different places where settlements had been effected ;• and a finer water communication fur its extent lona saw. On the 140 h of May I left Richibuctoo, and "on the 16th reached Shediae, from whence . I proceeded to the Petecoudiac River, over the first road practicable for sehe:ls which I had seen since leaving Fredericton.- The land about'' The Bend" (for so the place is called) was . Tor a long titre considered of inferior quality, and was thereby prevented from being settled as soon and as thickly as might otherwise have been expected. The importance of the situation, however, at last brought it into repine; and dievoil now proves to be as produc tive as any in the province. The numbpl., of houses which have lately been erected give it the atlfillweence of a town ; and although no re- Oar village his ikon laid out, there is already some difficulty, and mush expense, in precuring a space sufficient for a building lot. This place stands on the isthmus through Which the land communication be tient Nova Scotia and all parts of New Brunswick and the Canadas does and must continue to pass. The . distance from it to the Gulf of St. Lawrence at Shediac is 'cooly sixteen miles; to the Bay of Fundy, either by I end or water, about twenty; the river being navigable .• solar up for schooners of the largest class ; and the read to Halifax good for carriages of any description the whole way. With such advantages of situation, the Stud of Fetecoudiac cannot fail ot rapidly increas ing in population and importance ; and I have been more detailed in describing it, on account of its imme diate vicinity to the new townships now laying our. At Petecoadiac I was met by Mr. Smith, who had left me at Chatham, and to whom I had entrusted the ex ploring that part of the vacant lands between Richi buctoo and Petecoudiu, situated to the rear of the settlements on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Notwithstand ing all obstructions of wind and weather, this Gentle man had performed the service allotted to bins in a masterly manner; and his plan and report were so cleat and explanatory, as to warrant every confidence in the favourable accounts which they detailed. Daring my stay at the Bend, I received information of retract of vacant land on the other side ot the liver, siiirto amount to two or three hundied - thousand acres, and to be throughout of fir,t-rate quality ; and as this new tract was in the immediate vicinity of the lands to which my attention had been so .strongly directed, I did not hesitate again to avail myself of the services or Mr. Smith, and directed him to - proceed toithwith to :etplote it, and having done so, to Meet me with his plan and report at Truro. On the 18th of May I left Peteceudia,s, and pro ! seeded to Dorchester, passing .over roads and Ahrough 'settlements that would do credit to any country. On the 19th I reached Westcock, the tesidetice of Mr. Jus tice Botsford, a Gentleman whosegeneral koowlege ot the topography, capabilities, and interests of the pro . Vince, it is admitted, cannot be excelled, and to whom bit Howard Douglas had wri tt e n , stating the probable time at which I should pass through his neighbourhood (the parish of Sacksille), and requesting him to afford sue every information andipsistance in his power. To • - a person of whom such kaput and favourable mention had been made to me, I was most anxious of becoming lumina and, oncbtaining that advantage, did not fail to inter with 61111•21Obt fully on the various points Con* iliff4,Cd with my mission, and. to seek hit, candid °pintail and advice thereon. The result was in every way most fratisfactory, far in no one instance have 1 met with a person more coneersant ort - the subject, or more snit• pine as to the great and general advantages to be derived frous an extensive and welt regulated system of emigration. His approval of the situation selected for commenc ing on'.tva)Afcc ided and unqualified ; and of such high impottanect• the security and welfare ci British North America einerally, bur more particularly to New Brunswick, does he consider the opening the new proposed great line of communication towards the Canadas, that he offered, during the intervals of official occupation, his personal assistance in laying it out, or in any manner connected With it, wherein he could be made useful. Amongst 'other papers herewith trans mitted, you will find a. letter from Mr. Botsford, ad dressed to me some time after I had left him, and in which, after time for further consideration, you will perceive he recapitulates the same opinions. His ob servations respecting the consequences which have arisen from the very extensive and unrestricted choice of soil, hitherto allowed to persons obt iining lands in the Co lonies, ate highly valuable, and repeated proofs of their accuracy have come within my own knowledge. - - - - On the 20th of May; accompanied by Mr. Botsford, I left Westcesk for Bay Verte, a harbour for small vessels on the,dulf of St. Lawrence, and one side of which is in New Brunswick, the other in Nova Scotia. One of the objeAs of this visit was to see an old esta blished and very respectable settler of the name of Chapple, of whose pirictical knowledge in every point connected with new 'settlements Mr.Botsford had a high opinion. Tiom both Mr. Chapple and his son much useful information was obtained ; and here again I had the gratification of finding my previous opinions and calculations fully confirmed. On the 21st of May, we left .Day Verte, and after pasting through a beautiful country, reached Amherst, in N rya Scotia, where I took leave of my excellent and serOirs frieuel the Judge, and proceeded the same even ing on my route to Truro. After leaving Amherst, the country became less settled until I had passed the cobequid Mont-11in ; but on entetin; the township of Loncondetry, I again found myself in t' se midst of flout ishing settlements; and the same favourable ap pearanee may, generally speaking, be said to have prevailed doling the remainder of my tour in N..va Scotia. On arriving at Truro, on the 22 I of May, I received your letter of.the 9th of March. Or the 23J, I was employed making inquiries respecting the vacant lands in the township; the only person, however, who proved qualified to give information on the subject, was Mr. Miliet,the deputy surveyor of the district, by whose account it appears that the quantity still remaining to be dispo.ed of is inconsiderable. On the 24th, Mr. Maclauchlan and Mr. Smith ar rived, 'and I was much gratified at receiving most encouraging accounts of the lands they had been em ployed to expldre. Tne Shepody Tract (that which Mr. Smith had last passed through) proved in every respect equal to the very fatourabie accounts received of it at Petecoudiac. Mr. Maclauchlan's account of ' the lands he had passed through was also decidedly good; and this, together with the former Report of Mr. Smith and that of Mt. Layton, received while I was at bVetcticit, and irarioui - orber opinions and testimonies to the sane effect, put me entirely at ease as to the tract lbetween Petetoudiac and Miratnichi being fit for settle are'nr. From Titiro Ms. Smith retained by the Bay of Fundy and St. John's, to Fredericton; and on leaching he latter place, was to commence, under the superin tendence of the sarieyot general, the different maps End pl,ans which I requited to take to EnAla .d, and 4hisy he had an Ago qualdied hit:twit to make out for-! reCtl Your 1,66 of the 7th of February, iiceived at logiirassasbi. Ening enj..ined the putting off as muck' 101 l to as Tate a period as possible, the inturtill any lipase for the special purpose of Emigration during the present year, I was of course most anxious to delay, 'as long as ciicumsrances would safely admit of my so doing, the carr)ing into effe.t that part of my instruc tions, which directed that the necessary measures should be taken fOr having SOO,OOO acres of the waste lands of the Crown - surs eyed, and I therefore gladly availed ofyself cat Mr. Maciauchlatt's voluntary and very handwrite offer to continue with me until 1 reached Halifax, thinking it very pre.bable, on arriving there, I might receivc still later directions from you. On . the _evening of the 24th of May I arrived at Pictnu. On the 25th saw. Mr. Crerar, the deputy sur veyor, whose report ha, already been alluded to, and ascertained that the vacant lands in the district did cut exceed.so.ooo. acres altogether, but tho e were easy of access. In the evening 1 embarked-on board the Go vernment vessel Chebuctoo, which Sir J.tmts Kempt, anxious in every way to facilitate the service 1 was en gaged in, had sent to meet me, with ors.crs to the master to place himself under my directions. .On the 26th of May I reached Prince Edward's Island, where I remained till the 30th, on the evening of which day I again embarked on board the Chebucton, for Cape Breton. During my stay at the Island, I employed each day in visiting different patent it. The climate, soil. and situation are an highly favourable, but the lands remaining at the disposal of the Crown would not amount altogether to upwards of 30,000 or 40,000 acres. Of these, about 15,000 are situated in Township 55, and 12,000 in Township 4. I saw the Surveyor General of the Island, but could obtain ndadditional information from him. On the 4th of June, I landed at Louisburg, formerly the principal esta blishment of the French in the Island of Cape Breton and in those days a place of considerable extent. The harbour is one of the finest in America, and never frozen up. From Louisburg where there are at present but a few fishermen's huts) I proceeded at once to Sydney. The distance is about twenty-five miles, the first twelve: of which are wretched, and through a country which ap peared to be rocky and stony, though producing in some places a growth of hard wood. Previous to my leaving Halifax, Sir James Kempt had written to Captain Crawley, the Surveyor- General of Cape Breton, apprizing hint of the period about which I might be expected to visit the island, and requesting him to obtain every possible information, and have a map, simi lar to those already described, prepared against ray arrival. On reaching Sydney, anti putting myself in communication with the Surveyor-General; I had the satisfaction of finding that the insane tiona of Sir James Keamt bad been in every way fulfilled; and the map of Cape Breton herewith transmitted (compiled and hniNhed by Mr. W. H. Crawley, the Deputy Surveyor-General of the Island) may, I have no doubt, be entirely relied on, and cer tair.ly is a document to do credit to any office. The climate and pituation of thi► island are much on a par with Prince Edward's. The soil, though or different description, and not of the same even quality throughout, may in many plates be considered equally pro. ductree. The vacant labds are more extensive, and may alto g ether certainly be estimated at 500,000 acres; of these the tracts ex tending trona the St. Denys River to the road leading from Port Hood to Wbykukamah Basin, and containing about 50,000 acres, and that below or to the southward of the St. Denys, and extend. ing to the road leading from Hawksbury to St. George's Channel, and containing a bout 60,000 acresonay be considered among the best. These tracts are merely divided by the River St. Denys and the meow line of settlements established on its banks. The tract extending from the sources of the Aliray River to St. Peter's Bay, and lying between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bras d'Or Lake, ' also contains from 50,000 to 110,000 acres of land, generally speak , ing, supposed fit fur settlement. The above make up but a small proportion of the disposable lands; but I have quoted them as being better known, and very generally spoken of aa good. The lands on the shores of the Bras d'Or Lake have nearly all been granted. On the 6th June, having obtained all the information which could be required at and in the neighbourhood of Sydney, I set out for St. Preter:s Bay, taking the route by the Portage and Bras d'Or Lake. Tbo total distance is about fifty miles , thirty.five of which were by means of this most beautiful of all water communications. At St. Peter's, I obtained muck model information from the 14 ,, e. Mr. 11.49 d, the Catholic Clergyman, and from Mr. Kasen b Member of the Provincial PaellaMent, and one of the • Oita and most respectable inhabitants of Cape Breton. On the evening of the 7th of June, I again embarked an Ipord the Chebuttoo, and on the sth reached Ariehat, a beautiful hatbnue is Lisle Madame, where I saw Mr. Lime, a deputy surveyor. who had been mentioned to me by CaptaloCrawley and others„ as particularly well qualified to give accurate information respecting the lands In the Southern district, and as, mere w er. priessinr . much general Information respecting the wh ole Island. Mr. Lute's statemsenss were decidedly favourable respecting the lands, and his opinion. equally so respecting immigration. This Gentleman ap peered to be quite master of the subject, and from his zeal, intel ligence, and experiende, fully to deserts the favourable mention I bad frequently heard made of Min. • On the eveniig of the 9th I arrived at Guytborough, in Nova Saida, one of be meat beautiful places I ever saw, and where I had a long Intervirir with Mr. 'Wentworth Taylor, the Deputy Surveyor fbr the county; whose information and reports have already been referred to. • On the 11th of June I rationed to Halifax.

The Hoot of Ccmlions did not meet, in consequt nce of only 119 Members being present at four o'clock, when a ballet was to take place for the Dover blection Committee, which requires I Oct Members. The motions on the journals yesterday were of considerable importance, especially Mr. WILMOT.HORTON'S, on Emigration ; which, from the press of other business, it will net be easy to discuss at the length to which it is entitled to-night, as by tar the most important question is the second reading of the Corpo ration and Test Acts. It has been confidently stated that the dispatches received by Prince Likvers express an intention, on the part of the Russian Government, not only to answer the Turkish Manifesto by immediate war, but to con sider that war as one of its own, to be carried on by its individual means and armies, whatever might be the decision of its pi event Allies, or the wishes of the other European Powers. The Russian Proclamation, in its tone most firm and determined to carry its übject into ultimate execution, rests, we understand, principally (prominently rather) upon the numerous violations of the Treaty of Akermann. To those grievances is added, the sueceseut attempt of Turkey to provoke the late hostilities between Russia and Persia, and to prevent pacification ; together with the avowed intention, on the part of the Porte, that she never meant to observe the Treaty of Akermann ! On those grounds the war takes place: therefore no guarantee fur the future can be admitted. The expenses of the war, it is threatened, must ultimately come from Turkey. The Greek Treaty is not given up, but persevered in singly or jointly, as the two other Powers choose. The war takes place wow upon Russian grounds—Rossian grievances : she will lay dowil her arms when, and only when, they are redressed. ..a . _ The Proclamation to the Russian troops is daily asPectesk . . . . At a late hour this morning we receiveck.by carless, the Gazette de France, dated yesterday.% 'rid' 1 4. rtich Budget has been laid before the Chamber. of iteputies by the Minister of Finance.

This dt ficit is to be eoveied bi a Credit on t the l l i Spanish Government to the amount ci. 31,600, 1 1 francs ; the extraordinary expenses for 1828, which y r • be rendered necessary, according to the situatio of affairs in the Bast, America, or Spain, are to belr of vided tor by the ordinary revenues of the stare. The reports in Paris, on the departure of the Ex press, were all of a warlike description, and it is said that the French Government had received advices from Sr. Petersburgh, stating the determination of ltussia to commence immed;ate hostilities against Turkey. The Austrian Observer contains some remarks on the TurkishManifesto,which it considers as a rhapsody, and not entitled to the character of a diplomatic note, affirm ing that it has never been printed in Turkey—as a proof of which, the d fferent copies sent to the Ayans of the provinces are none of them similar. The EEIS EF FENDI is stated to have declared numerous passages in this document to be either disfigured or forged. We received this forenoon Lisbon Gazettes to the 2d inst.
