CROKER. brought with them ; and I can speak of a whole settle. ment of Irish, about fifteen miles from York, who came , entirely from the United States in a body, and who had been in the United States several years; they came to us because they preferred ours, I believe, to the Atneti• can Government, after having had experience of the lat- ter, and because land was much cheaper, and the taxes much lower, and the country more healthy. • that the cavalry of the Paella of Negropont had reaon• noitred the gates of Athens, and descended as far as the sea, burning the houses and monasteries built by the Greeks near the site of their ancient port. It does not appear, however, that the Turks occupied any place which could secure the lasting possession of the country, or that they could derive any important advantage from this unresisted incursion. According to some private accounts, the Greeks bad attacked and retaken Mist*. !onglii, or rather its ruins whilst the Mainotes had cut to pieces in the Morea two thousand of Ibrahim's best soldiers The recapture of Missolonghl, however, was strongly doubted, but more credit was attached to the reported defeat of the Egyptians. From the violence of a cannonade heard in the •icinity of Samos, it was supposed that the Captain PAcha's Let had made an attack en that island, but withour success. GEORGE MARKLAND, Examined.

T EAKE'S GENUINE PILLS, justly famous for curing, in all its stages, the•VRNERBAL DISEASIt.— Orie small Pill is a dose, and the taking of one Box, in a recent ease, will soon convincelhe patient of the certainty of his 'speedy . recovery. Nothing can be better contrived, more safe, or more convenient than this Remedy, for such as are obliged to go journies or to sea, as it needs no confinement nor restraint of Diet; and sixty years experience (in an extensive practice) has proved that it will Effect a Cure when repeated Salivation and all other methods avail nothing. For the Scurvy and other Chronical Disorders, this Medicine has not its parallel.

MINUTES OF EVIDENCE BEFORE SELECT COMMITTEE ON EMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM. Lana, 20 0 die Mardi, 1826. R. J. WILMOT HORTON, Escarrax, ter 11111 mum. HENRY JOHN BOULTON, Examined. Yon are Solicitor General for Upper Canada?—l am. Have you reason to believe that emigration has an swered completely, with the exception of a few persons who have gone off to the States think decidedly so. I have no doubt of it. I believe they are all perfectly satisfied with their situation, with the exception of pro bably fifteen or twenty worthless people, who were al ways so; they were mostly young men, who had no [particular ties to induce them to remain, and they ran away shortly after they came to the settlement, particu larly when they found they were likely to be punished for the disturbances they had been engaged in; but, with those exceptions, I believe them to be perfectly satisfied in all respects, and to be doing well. Are you of opinion than an emigrant, from any part of this country, and located, would be enabled to pay, at the expiration of seven years, without prejudice to his general possession, a quit-rent. of 41. per annum for his land, taking that land to be 150 acres, of which 100 should be located, and the other 50 attached as a re serve ?—I think, without any doubt, he would. Are you prepared to state in detail, in what manner he would acquire property enough to make that pay ment, and how he would obtain the money for it ?—ln the first place, if he is tolerably industrious (and I will here say, that the Irish make equally good settlers after a short time, and readily acquire the use of the axe), an American will, in the course of a week, chop down tie timber upon an acre of land. It is commonly consi- 1 dered a week's work for an able bodied labourer to chop the timber off in acre of land. I am nut prepared to say bow long it would take him to burn it, it could not take him that length of time ; but I may say gene rally, that an able bodied man can, without over work. ing himself, clear, fence, and put into crop, ten aces of land in the course of a twelvemonth. ....... •• I have known many persons in Upper Canada who came there without a farthing, who, in the course of fifteen or twenty years have become men of considerable property, and filling in that country the d'gnified situation that the Gentlemen I address do here. I have known such per sons to become Members of the Colonial Legislature, and people of considerable importAnce in the colony. Magistrates, and forming a part of the aristocracy of the country. Can you conceive the possibility of a man of common industry, having a hundred acres of ground after seven years, being unable to pay a quit rent of 41. a year ?—I do not think such a tLing is possible. Is the country generally !webby /4—Generally speaking, I consi- der it so; myself and my family have been there elm 1816, and we have not found it unhealthy. Are there banks in the country ?—There Is one in Upper Canada, and. there are three banks in Lower Canada. Do tberissue paper?—Yes. How low do they Issue?-4s low as ss. or 4s. 6d. sterling. Nothing lower than a dollar ?-o..Nodsing lower than a dollar. Would one of the old settlers having a hundred and fi fty acres of led about him, fi nd any difeculty in paying a quit rent of If. lea. per annum T—Not the slightest. Are there not considerable prejudices against renting land Tel ; land does net let well, and the reason is very obvious, a man, by sonnnan industry, can easily acquire a piece of land as his own. Would not an annual payment of Si. lOs. upon a farm of 150 acres, be considered as a rent 3—lf it were a perpetual rent I think it would be, but as it may be ecdeented at any time, I think it otherwise. But the amount would be sufficient to create that prejudice, if it were not that k is not perpetual ?—if it were a perpetual rent, I think people would dislike it, but as it is I think they would not; they would like it much better if it were put in ether words, not at all altering the substance of the thing. If it were called interest of money, reckoned at four per cent, they paying commonly six per cent. I think they would regard it as a very advantageous mode. Have you ever known an instance of the relations of emigrants coming out to them ?—lt is very common for them to save a little money for that purpose. I have known emigrants save 101. or 121. and remit it home to their friends, in the hope of their coming out to join them. Of the settlers that have gone out since the peace, have any great number left you, and gone over to the United States? I think a great many of them go to the United States ; and the reason, I think, is this, that in the United States they find more readily immediate employment, at ready money wages; the United States being so much more populous, and there being there a number of large towns, they naturally reort to the place whet e they can get the quickest return in money for their labour, to answer their immediate wants, and particularly as the Ameticans are oaten looking out for them as they go up the river Sr. Lawrence, when we take no means to retain them ; and many go them from a possibly groundless ptedlection for their Guvern men• : but I have known many instances of their corn• ing back again, when they have been there tWoar three years, and bare - spent what little money they might have Are you a Canadian by bitch ?—I am. Are you of opinion that a very general impression exists in Upper Canada, that an access of population would be of the greatest advantage to the province ? There is no que,tion about the opinion of the advantage which it must derive from an accession of population, it is almost the only thing it requires. The land is excellent and the climate admirable; it only wants people. Colonel John Ready examined.---You are ;Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward's Island Nw.l aril. Wha is the state of the settlements wads by Lord Selkirk I-- Rope of then. are very liouriebins. Can you supply the Committee erWasy details upon that sub- Jett 7—ilk great proportion of Lord Pdlerk's tenants are Low pro prietors. RICHARD JOHN UNIACKE, Examined. Do you mean to convey an opinion, that persons in tro.lnced into Nova Scotia at their own expense, can be provided for there without any further expense neces sarily being incurred?-1 have no doubt but what the province of Nova Scotia would absorb every year at least from 1,200 to 1,500 emigrants, taking them as they run, young and• old, and provide ample subsis tence for them, so that they should not be in want of any kind of necessary, when they were landed on shore. A statement of a transaction that took place in the last year and the year before, may give perhaps some insight with respect to the island of Cape Breton I Sir James Kempf made an allotment of land there, he appointed a Land Committee to allot the land to the settlers; u soon as it was known in Scotland that there was an allotment of land made in the island of Cape Breton, a number of poor people in the North of Scotland,where the Custom-house regulations are not so strictly en forced, found the way to embark in three or four vessels; and there have, in the years 1824 and 1825, upon a moderate calculation, at least SOO settlers come from the North,of Scotland, whose passage did not cost them mote than fifty shillings or three pounds; for those people provide for themselves; all that the master of the vessel looks to, is to see that they have a pound of oatmeal for every day he calculates the passage to Inn, ,irniniour to five weeks ; and every man brings a pound of oatmeal for every day, and half that quantity for a child, with perhaps about half a pint of molasses, a little butter, and a few eggs; and he provides them with water in the passage, Viey paying about thirty to thirty-five shillings. Those settlers came oat thereupon their own expense; there was not a mouthful of prowl sions or any thing given to them by Government; they 'settled themselves upon the land that Sir James KeLpt allotted to them, and 1 doubt whether there is in Scot. land so happy a set of people as those. They have got their log huts erected. The custom of settlers there is, that they cut down the trees that are just round, and put up a log hut, and the bark of those trees makes the covering ; so that, in point of fact, he is under covet and housed in a few hours. As compared with England or Ireland, do you con sider that there is any great disadvantage and uncer tainty of climate in Nova Scotia? The reverse; we can utile Indian corn in Nova Scotia, which you cannot raise in England; our summer is hotter. Is not your winter colder?—Our winter is not so cold as in England; the frost is harder, but it is not hard frost that makes cold; I have been an agricul turist now for thirty-five or thirty.* years, and I began to show what was practicable in that country, by g mg into the roughest part of it, and there making a seitlearrnt ; I cut the first trees down upon the place I had immediately in occupation from the original forest; I have cultivated it, and shown the people that what they called bad land is capable of improvement ; I cleared from the original forest upwards of IMO acres of land. that I have now settled down under grass, and originally under grain. Are you not of opinion that if the policy of this coun try were to encourage emigration to those provinces, and to give due developement to their natural resources by the introduction of capital, the increase of the pros. peaty of those Colonies, in a short period of time, would be sufficient to pay ten times the amount of expense of their present civil governments? I consider that British America is nearly equal in population, and nearly equal in shipping and in trade, to what the United States was at the commencement of the Revolution in 1774; and I am satisfied that the British provinces in America will very soon pay the expense not only of their civil esta ' blishment, but of their military establishment, and that they will become a very important market for the con sumption of the commodities of Great Britain. Every man in any part of British America will at least consume three pounds worth of something that he does not pos sess himself, and therefore every man that is added to that country will increase the market for the productions of England. FRENCH PAPERS. The Etoiles of Friday and Saturday state that the copy of the Treaty between France and Brazil, pub lished on Thursday, having been translated from a Pop. tuguese Gazette, contained some expressions which were not in the original. It was not, in consequence. to be given in the Moniteur till the arrival of M. de Chabrol from Rio Janeiro, with the authentic document, should ensure a correct insertion. The Drapean Blanc and other Papers having asserted that Ferdinand had changed his Ministers, with the exception of the Duke de Plnfan tado, the E.toile contradicts the rumour, as to the indi viduals mentioned, but seems to allow that some altera tions had been made in the Spanish Cabinet. It also denies the existence of a conspiracy said to have been discovered by Mr. Recacho (the Minister of Police,) the object of which was to prevent the King's return to Huh id. The intelligence from Constantinople is of an older date than that brought by the Allgentehte Zeitung, but an article from Metelia says, that the Turks were masters of the oink country in Western Greece, and BRAZIL PAPERS. RIO JANEIRO, JANEIRO, Jan 10. Arrived. today the Datch schooner Alliance, from Monte-Video, with letters from that province to' the 28th of May, which state that news h .d been received there from Colonia by. land. of the entire destruction of the naval force of the united provinces of Rio de la Plata by oar squadron is sight of that fortress. We do not know the particulars or this action., nor whither our Government has received them ; hut, considering the respectability of the house Wt has the letter to which we refer, we do trot tti credit this agree' able news. The battle was 4egati by the brave Adrisiral Pinto Guedes: Vice-Admiral Lobo was abOard a ship at Monte-Video, hot daring to land, it is said. for 'fear of being insulted by the populace. Ile was endeavouy ing to obtain leave tor to Rio G - rinde for his health, but it was thought he would be sent hither to answer for his conduct. We are informedthat Admiral Pinto Guedes sends six officers and cottimanchrs, who hare been made prisoners, to this thy. t 12th.-,-The Diari. commences the publication of the debates of the Chamber of Deputies; the editors soy they have not been able to procure a reporter for the proceedings of the other Chambers. In the sittings of the Sh of June, a report was read from the committee of commerce, agricuttine, manu factures, and navigation, rejecting the proposal pre sented by Senhor Cunha Maws, to oblige the Govern ment and the religious bodies to consume articles ma nufactured in the empire. Alter an animated debate, the opinion of the committee was approved, and the project of Senhor Mottos rejected. iStb.—Tbe Diarie contains the treaty between Prance and &awl 10th.—A long debate arose on a motion of Senhor Lino Coutinha, that when any reglementary law was discussed, the debate should be continued three hOurs without interruption, and thot there should be two ex traordinary sittings every week. - Many members thought the fatigue would- be too great 'if the propoial were adopted, and various modifications were proposed : others said, that the deputies were sent there to labour for the public good, and not to consult their own con venience. It was resolved that these should not be any regular extraordinary sittings, but that the ordinary sittings should be lengthened an hour daily, and con. tame from nine to twelves that there might be an ex traordinary sitting if a member of the Chamber should require it. 12th.—A great debate took place in consequence of a message from the Minister of the Interior to one which the Chamberhad sent to him, desiring to have a statement of the affairs of this department. He replied, that according to the constitution he thought he was not obliged to give those accounts except on the death of the Sovereign or the vacancy of tire throne. The corn mime appointed to report on this answer are of opinion that the Minkt-r should be informed the Chamber did not want to examine the past administration, but only asked a general account of his department, to be able to deliberate for the public goo.': The subject was continued on the sitting of the 14th of June, in which Venguiero proposed that Ministers should be .t.ked for information on various subjects—agi iculture, popula tion, internal and foreign commerce, manufactures, public works, &c. whether the constitution had been strictly observed ; if individual guarantees had been suspended; the measures taken by the Ministers incon sequence of the suspensions, tee. The proposal was re ferred to the committee of the constitution, with Aut. dons to report, if possible, the same day. : 16th.—Senhor Mottos said he had received inform& don of the scandalous atrocities practised towards the militia in the province of Minas Geraes, that they had been summoned to attend the procession of Corpus Christi, and in the act itself had been seized and put in irons, and in this manner came to Rio de Janeiro. It was resolved to send a message to the Government on the subject. In the following sitting an answer from the Minister of War informed the Chamber, that he bad already dispatched orders to inquire into so great an ' abuse, in order to communicate the result to the Chamber. Demerara Papers have been received to the Ist of July inclusive ; their contents are wholly unimportant, except that a forgery to a considerable extent has been committed in that colony on the colonial paper. The Barbadoes Paper, the Colonise, asserts, that the Spanish Island of Porto Rico is garrisoned by French troops, and that a great proportion of the troops at Cuba are also French. We have received private letters from Monte Video of the 15th of June. His Majesty's ship Doan re. turned there on the 11th from a cruise of sixteen days off the mouth of that river. The commercial accounts speak of the advantages derived by the Treaty between England and Rio by the English merchants over those of America. who paid a higher duty, arid consequently the British trader was enabled to undersell his rival very considerably. The Tyrolese, in one of their insurrections, in 18,09, took fifteen Bavarian horses, they mounted dr m wi t h as many of their men ; but in a rencontre with the Re. giment of Buhenhoven, when thrbe horses heard the trumpet, and recognised the uniform of the Regius:or, they set off at full gallop. and carried their riders, in ,pate of all their efforts, Into the Bavarian rank., where they Were soon made prisoners.
