aree heads :—The first related to the Act of 31st George 111. commonly called the Catarrhs Act, and went to alter, in a certain degree, the constitu lien that was then granted to those provinces— the second pert was merely anxiliory to the Bill introduced by the Board of Trade for the Regu. lotion of the Colonial Trade—and the sit part related !o the appropriation of the duties between the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, and the consolidation of the Legislatures of the two rovinces. The peculiar situation in which those !olonies were placed in regard to their reve- Jes, hid led to the necessity of some remedial measure on the part of the Government of this Country. From the conquest of Canada till 1774 the whole was governed by • Governor and Eaten. re Council. The criminal law of England was established in the first instance ; but the civil law of France was retained, which formed a very anomalous code of law. In 1774 an alteration was Niade, whereby the Colony was placed under the administration of a Governor and Executive 17ouncil, and • Legislative Assembly, with the power of raising local taxes for local purposes. At that time the province was known by the statue of Upper Canada, was inhabited chiefly by American loyalists sod refugees, who resorted there as considerable numbers. In the course of time the population greatly increased, and at length it Iteeime a subject of great objection to them, as Soglialessen, accustomed to English laws and Eng. Ti4k habits, to be subject to the French laws, which thin prevailed in Lower Cansds. In 1791, there we. an Act was passed, separating the Admioistra too of the two provinces, and giving • constitu .roetalGoverument with a separateLegialature to each. The only access to the province of Upper Coned* '-tre the sea was by the port of Quebec, which was tsated in the Lower Province, and is the whole the duties on imports were therefore collected there, it was agreed that the proportion of these links that should be given to Upper Canada should one-eighth, that being the supposed proportion of populatiou to that of the other province. That appropriation, however, proving unsatisfactory, in 797 a plan was adopted of examination by mesas i Custom-house officers stationed on the bounde ies of the two provinces, to ascertain by the iantity of the articles imported, that passed into le Upper Province for the consumption of its popss• two, the amount of the duties to which it was en. 'ltd. That plot', however, was found to be attend. I with great inconveniences, and the Custom-house , fficers being withdrawn, it was determined to pey to . .7pper Caned, one fifth of the duties as its share. Afterwards a Commission was appointed to make a more perfect arrangement for an equitable appro. , niation of the revenues between the Provinces, stitch, however, reported its inability to devise any satisfactory plan for removing the difficulties that stood in the way of an amicable arrange ,eat ; and the province of Upper Canada had irr siuce been deprived of its fair proportion if the duties. The object of the Bill now un-. fee consideration was, to secure It due udmini itratiou of the revenues by means of a fair and equitable system of arbitration. The Honour able Gentleman then referred to the Report of the Commissioners of Lower Canticle, from which it opesred that no principle of arbitration could be :tied by them which would be satisfactory to both rpviacer ; so that those two provinces, which ought to twe, hat one common interest, seemed to be placed irreconcilable opposition to each other. That state things had led the Government to consider tether some arrangement could not be adopted the appropriation of the duties which would ring the provinces into a closer relation to each other ; and the most natural means of effecting that lbjert appeared to be to consolidate the Legislatures of both provinces, from the union of which other coosidtrable advautages might be expected to be derived. In answer to any objection that might be 'aurided on the supposition that the constitution establ , shed by the Act of 1791 was intended as permanent measure, or was so regarded at the late, he referred those who entertained such an ~.itiioci to the debate on the Bill, on the Bth Aped; 1791, in which the anion of the two wovinces was strongly contended fur by Mr. and the Act then under consideration ex pressly recognised both by him and by Mr. Pitt es open to future revision by Parliament. In *alterations proposed in the present Bill there ins nothing to affect or diminish the right of vot ing, or any other of the privileges possessed by any individual in either of the {internees under the pre sent law. It had been deemed necessary to este 'ish a qualification for those who were elected, rich had been omitted before; bat the rate of that ialiacation would not be fixed so high as to rep ,r it in any degree exceptionable. With respect , the clauses relating to the trade of the Colony, ;hey merely went to apply the principle of the Colonial Trade Bill to these provinces. A draw back would also be allowed on the re-exportation rum, of the amount of the duty imposed on its rportation from our West India bland.; and the tarot duties would be continued to 1823, which was *apposed would allow time for the adap tor' of such regulations by the new Legisla ire as might be deemed advisable. NVith re ioect to the settlement of the proportion of lanes betweeq the two provinces, a mode of arbi- iretioi was proposed. to which he could not expect any opposition would be altered. He anticipated hat this measure would lead to the progressive is ,)roveepent of the provinces. • boon which they bad well merited by the loyalty and attachment to the ',other Country which they conStantly displayed. Zsen pains had been taken in the framing of the /All to give the fullest consideration to the Cana. lian interests. and to procure the fullest information on the suhject of those interests; and the Pleasure wow sanctioned by the unqualified approbatiosu of all those whose experience and information quali fied them to judge of its effects *ion the interests of the provinces. He concluded by moving That She Speaker do now leave the Chair." Sir J. WitatuTosu said, that but little good was tpeeted, or bet little evil anticipated, as the result this measure_ was evident, if he was to judge rear the state of the House—and he shoukl indeed lairs felt but little comfort in being called upon to discuss, for the Brit time, on the lath of July, the question of a total change in the Legislature of taro meat provinces--if the oftentimes be thou saw of Members in that House, epos so important a dia. minim. did not smuts him of the little probability of its producing any of those alarming results which had followed from • former attempt of the same kind. The part of the immure to the immediate •dopiion of which alone he objected, was that, which related to the union of the two Le. gislatures ; and the argument which had been put with so mach force and effect by the Right Hon. Member for Chichester (Mr. fluskisson) to induce his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) not to forward at this period of the Session a measure which affected the property of a great body of individuals, might, he thought, be applied with still more farce to prevent the bringing for ward of a measure affecting not merely the pro petty, but the rights, the privileges, the opinions, the feelings, and the prejudices of the whole popu lation of two large provinces, who had no means of expressing their assent or dissent, but would be taken by surprise, and find their Legislature wholly changed without the opportunity being afforded them of expressing their sentiments or opinions on the subject. He guarded him►elf against being •opposed to ground hie opposition on ally abstract notion of the right of a people to be consulted on the form of its Government, or on a doubt of the power of the Parliament of this country to make this alteration without previous consultation with the Colony. He maiutanted that Parliament had the power, but he thought that of all powers that was the one which ought to be exercised with the greatest forbearance and cau tion, and with the most scrupulous regard to the interests of those whom it so deeply affected. To pars this Bill without having given full notice to the people of Canada, in order that they might have an opportunity of expressing their feelings on the subject, was unwise and impolitic, whether they had a right to be consulted or not. He did not mean to impugn the terms of this measure, sloe the inteutiont of those who brought it forward ; but he much questioned its effects on the people of the Colonies, and the effects of its example upon the general principles of our coloniul legis lation. He begged it to be observed, that this was the first time in the existence of English Colo. nies that the English Parliament had ever passed an Act to unite two Colonies in one, or to lake away the Legislature of any single Colony, except the never-to-lse-forgotten Massachussett's Act, a hich gave rise to that commotion by which the whole Con tinent of America was severed from our dominion. They were now required on uo information, but on the mere assertion that some individuals unnamed had approved of the measure, to take away the per. litical arid legal renitence of two provinces without the observance even of the common formalities, without which they would not presume to interfere its any measure affecting the rights of the most ob. •cure corporation in Roieland. No ageuts for the Colonies, no counsel in their behalf had been heard, no witnesses had been examined at the bar.— And he would ask, saying nothing of the policy, the expediency, or the propriety of the enactments of the Bill, whether it was not rash in the extreme to refuse to pay the price of a delay of six month', for the purchase of full information on these point*, in order to prevent them from legislating in the dark, as they were now doing, as to the feelings and opinions of the people of Canada on the sub ject of this union. He ■aid they were bound to consult these feelings for two reasous—became it was essential to the happiness of the people that they should be consulted, and because it was necessary, in order to secure the existence of the authority of this Government over them. He urged the delay of the measure on no abstract question of right; lie would support it by no reasoning which might not be safely urged in the Cabinet of any absolute Monarch of common understanding, if such an one were to be found. He was actuated by respect fpr the principles of British legislation in opposing the enactment in the last week of the Sea. 'ion, of a Bill to abolish two Legislatures, and substitute a third in the place of both, in such • hurry as to look as if they were afraid to learo the opinion of the people of Canada before the Act shall be fully passed. He had heard no thing from the Honouruble Gentleman who moved the Bill, applicable to the question of the ur gency of this measure, or the necessity for insole. &suety pressing it, which was the only question they had now to consider. He was at a loss, therefore, to conceive whet could be the reason for pursuing a course respecting a measure affect ing the rights, liberties, and property of the whole populatiou of two large provinces, which they would never think of ou the most ordinary quer Lion of a right of way or a right of common. The peculiar situation of the Colonies, having no agent or counsel here to support their interests. debarred perhaps by nature front actual representation in that House, rendered it incumbent on them to give the snore particular consideration to those interests, and to prove the real value of the virtual representatiou io the British Parliament of all the interests of our widely extended empire. To proceed with that part of the Bill relating to the union of the two provinces, without allowing the interval of six months to obtain information as to the feelings of the people of those provinces on the subject, he thought was not befitting the character of that House, and the honour of British legislation. He therefore moved, as an amendment— " That it be en iestroclion to the Committee to separate the Bill into two parts; the one to contain the clatters relat ing to the incorporation of the two provinces, and the tither these relating to the commercial and financial arrangements of the said provinces." Mr. ELLICE said he admitted without hesitation all the general principles staled by his lion. and Learned Friend ; and if he did not think the par ticular case under consideration an exception, and that the Bill before them applied in a most particular meanie le that case, he should have thought the la* period of the Session opposed • great objection to proceeding with it at prestos. The object of the Bill was not to take from any of the inhabitants of either of the provinces any pri vilege which they enjoyed under the Act 31 Geo. 111 but to extend to all what was •t present only en joyed by a part. A case had arisen which gave rise to the stecemity for the interference of the Legislature of this country, and the only ques tion wait, whethev that interference should be narrowed to the one or two point• contained in the application from the Upper Proviiscr, or whe. ther t►i• opportunity should be. taken of introdu cies • general measure for Ow caaamon interest of both. 'll'he Legislatore of the Lerner Province ►ad rendered the speedy adoption of some met sure of this kind imperative, by actually de ciding that they would not go any further into the qUestion of the differences between the two provinces until some naeavre should be saved by the Legislature of this country on the subject. It was curious to observe how the very difficulties which Mr. Fox predicted had occurred. The Hon. Member here read an extract from the speech of Mr. Fox, on the introduction of the Bill for the Government of Canada in Mk; he also referred to the speech of Lord Grenville on the same oc casion, in winch his Lordship spoke of the measure as an experiment. The grievances predicted had occurred, and it was to remedy those grievances that the present measure was introduced. In the House of Assembly of the Lower Province, there were forty-five French and five English members. The grievance of this was, that a French party was found acting oo mistaken principles of legislation, which had got complete possession of Lower Ca nada, and from the geographical position of that province, it extended its influence over the population of both provinces. From every thing which he had heard from persons in this country connected with- Canada, he was per suaded that the people of Canada were favourable to the measure. In Upper Canada the people were in general well educated, whilst in the Lower Province there was not one in a hundred of the population that could read or write. If, therefore, this measure were to be suspended, jealousies and prejudices would be crested against it ; whereas, on the other hand, if the measore once received the sanction of the House,• it would be received with content by the population in general, and would lay the foundatiou of general happiness.— He could not help pressing it on his Majesty's Ministers to give to Canada every advantage in trade which they possibly could, by treating it as one of our own counties, or as Ireland was treated, and to look upon it as one of those colonies to which our surplus population might with great advantage be directed, sod he could not but regret that by the operation of the Corn Bill, great part of the produce of Canada was prevented from com ing to this country, by which, of course, they were prevented from taking our manufactures in return. Mr. CaLcIAIPT said, he should think the forcing upon the Canadians a change in their representative system, such as the present Bill would produce, was the most likely means to create discord and confusion. His Hon. Friend had quoted the opi nions of Mr. Fox and Lord Grenville, but did he think they would have been prepared to follow them up by sores!, a change in the constitution of the pro. vinces ? The House either presu rut d on the weakness of the provinces, or the wisdom of the measure. The first was a ground which no one would be disposed to take, and if they were assured of the beneficial effects of the measure; why press it•with such un necessary haste. All that he asked was that the House would wait six months, in order that the par ties to whom it applied might have notice of it. The Report to which allusion had been made was dated in December hint, so that there had been time enough to have consulted the Legislatures and people of the Cauadas; and he most say it was matter of suspicion that it had not been done. He believed he was now addressing, numerically speaking, a House—he thought there were forty Members present—to legislate for the two Canadeo; but he put it to the confidential advisers of his Majesty, whether they would at this period of the Session (when, according to their own admission, no measure of importance could be expected to be gone into, and, above all. without notice to the parties interested) go on with the Bill. Mr. BaiGhT, although he acknowledged the power of the Legislature here to interfere with the Legislative Assemblies of Canada, yet he denied that the present measure was either well timed or well considered. He objected to the measure, which took as it were by surprise the constitution from the people of Canada, which had been deliberately given to them by. the Act of the 31st of the late King. This was entirely an Upper Canada Bill. and was intended to give Upper Caned' an iliflueoct io the House of Representatives in the Lower Province which they did not at present possess. He would not enter into any new metaphysical distinction., and did not pretend to deny the supremacy if the Mother Country ; but the palpable inexpediency of the measure was what he considered the greatest abjection to it. He challenged any gentleman to produce one instance in cotuuial legislation where the Mother Country had interfered with the consti tution of the Colonies, because they refused to come into the views of the Mother Country. lie did not imagine the case of the charters in Charles ft.'s time would be relied upon by any Gentleman as a pre cedent, and excepting those, there was no instance bearing any analogy to the present. Itidepeudent of his objection to the principles of the Bill, the period of the Session at which it was brought for ward, when the gentlemen of the law had gone upon their circuits, was an additional reason fur its post ponement. Mr. GotiLatittW defended the Bill, the object of which had been much misunderstood by some Hon. Members. There was oo infringement, as the Hon. Member for Wareham (Mr. Caleraft) had supposed, of the right of the people to return their representatives; oothiog which could bear the colour of changing from a free to an aibitrary go vernment. He admitted that there was a change effected by the Bill, but it did not attach to the representative system of the colony. It was pro. posed to merge the Assemblies of the two provinces in one, but leaving the same means as were now possessed, for the inhabitants to send such representatives as they might select. The Bill had been opposed on three grounds :—lt was questioned, first, whether Parliament had a right thus to interfere; secondly, if Parliament had the tight, whether it were expedient to exercise it; slid lastly (and to this point the opposition of the Hon. Member for Knaresborough was principally directed), whether this was the proper period at which Parliament ought to exercise the right. No one had. he believed, denied the right of Perim- Aleut thus to interfere. The Government and Con stitation of Canada rested. indeed on the provisions of an Act of Parliament ; it certainly, therefore, was competent to Parliament to consider the changes which from time to time took place s and alter or mo dify accordingly. .That Act of parliament which gave separate Legislatures to the two promuces,dis. tiuctly looked forward to distant periods at which alterations might become necessary. The nom Gentleman here referred to the Act which pro vided that his Majesty might make alter ations by and with the advice sod consent of tne Legislative Assemblies."—(Hear, hear, hear.) — He considered that one of the strongest arguments in favour of the expediency of the measure we., that dissentions had for a considerable time existed between two neighbouring countries, which, from their close approximation, should have been united. He considered the Colonies in the greater danger from their close situation to an ambitions, because a republican state. He was, therefore, disposed to give his assent to a measure which went to conso lidate the power of the Colonies. and to protect them from the danger with which they were sur rounded ; and he could not consent, from any Cr. gument founded on the inexpediency as to time, to sacrifice a measure essential to their interests and the security of the empire. Mr. DENMAN rose fur the purpose of offering himself personally ris an argument in favour of postponing the question, fur up to this moment he was in perfect ignorance as to the extensive sod im portant alterations contemplated by this Bill. The Bill hid passed through various Ptages, and this was the first night on which any Member of the Government had condescended to open the ques tion to the House. He conceived it to be irritat ing, provoking, and dangerous to inflict upon •ny of the Colonies such extensivrchanges without their consent ; and he thought his Hon. Friend (Mr. Bright) perfectly justified in the strong opposition to this measure which lie threatened to give. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that the principal objection offered to this important mea sure was the late ;ivied of the Session; but he did not think that this could be considered a very sub stantial argument against • measure calculated to produce so much practical good. Besides, his Honourable Friend (Mr. Wilmot) had been pre pared long since to bring the subject before the House, but was unable to do so from the great conflict of public business. He considered the Colonies interested by this Bill entitled to the greatest liberality, both on account of their gene ral connexions and shipping interests. Ile con tended, that if the Government of the country did not feel that the measure would receive the approbation of the interests which it affected, it never would have been introduced, and he believed it would be received by the Cansdas with general satisfaction, notwithstanding the efforts made on the opposite side to represent it as a measure of oppression. He still trusted that Gentlemen op posite would withdraw their oppositiou,aod allow the Bill to go to a Committee. Mr. BERNAL opposed the wooer., bat said he was not influenced by any party motive, but by a feeling that we should not proceed without ample information. Mr. Tuouas WILSON fully concurred in the opinion that this should not be considered a party question. It appeared to him to be a measure cal culated to produce much evil, but he should ab stain from entering into any disco►sion, as all the arguments which he had entertained on the subject had been already anticipated. Mr. WILMOT replied. The House then divided : the numbers were-- For the Amendment l4 For the Committee .... Majority 34 The Bill was then committed, and the Repoli or dered to be received on Tuesday next. On the third reading of the Irish Police Bill— Mr.illAwrtri moved. as an amendment, a clause, empowering the Lord Lieutenant to appoint sti pendiary Magistrates in certain cases. After some discussion the amendment was with drawn, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion for the third reading of the Royal Scotch Burghs Bill— Mr. Hosts opposed the motion. The gallery was cleared, but there Were only 24 Member. present, and the House adjuulutd at Two o'CLocK. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS PAPERS.
