_ ....~ ; ~~ t TOE LONDON JOURNALS. January 16, 1823. trmACTs rnoN Tug DAILY MORNING rApERV, [MORNING eosr.] We are enabled to lay before our readers a translation of the Speech which has been expected with so much anxiety, and which was•delivered to the French Chambers on Tuesday afternoon, tt is 4 very warlike, though it does not absolutely say that war is declared. After describing the internal state of Franco as improved in conse quence of the verdicts found and the executions effected last autuntn, it announces that a new Convention has been formed with the Pope to circumscribe the . newly established Dioceses. It 'represents the state of the Finances as flourishing. and all the expences incurred by the late military preparations' as having already been. paid.- -ft states that France ,gives an example of pros -perity, order, anti true liberty to Europe; but that being exposed to the dangers which the dis cords of a neighbouring nation' produce, every thing has been done to guarantee the security of the people, and to preserve Spain herself from, extreme misfortunes. It declares that the infa tuation which caused the representations sent to Madrid to be rejected, ":leaves little !Ripe of preserving peace :" that the French Antbas sailor in *Spain has been recalled, and that. 100,000 French, commended by the Duke or Angouleme, " are ready to march,- invoking the Co , ' of St. Louis to preserve the throne of Spain to a descendant of Henry the Fourth." It de tails the measures which are to be adopted to, protect the coasts and trade of France; and pro !irises, "If war be inevitable," not only to use tine care to narrow its limits and to shorten its durtition, but to put an end to it the moment that " Ferdinand Vll.,shall be free to give Ids people . the institutions which they can receive only from him ;" that is to say, the Inquisition, and every thing connected with despotic authority on the part of the Sovereign, and degraded•slavery on that of the people. [NEW TIMES.) We yesterday received, by express, Paris Papers of Tuesday evening, with an accurate trnnscript of the Speech, of the King of France, on opening the Session. The substance of the Speech had been previously, published, but we now give it verbatim. It is decidedly warlike ;, more so, indeed, than we had ventured to anti eipate. The object of the. French interven tion in the affairs of Spain is, not (as has been pertinaciously asserted) to re-establish a , Government of tyranny and oppression, but it i, that Ferdinand the Seventh should be free to give to his country institutions which they cutout beneficially receive but from him. " From that moment," says the King's Speech, ".all hostilities shall cease." Let us then fairly consider the grounds on which the French Go vernment stands in its, contest with the faction predominant at Madrid. France comes forward', in the name of the whole Continent, to stifle. a . revolutionary movement, which is not more dangerous to her own safety than to that of the surrounding nations. [mu rim ritcss.) The present state of Ireland cannot fail to be a leading subject of deliberation in the ensuing Session of Parliament. We l►ad hoped that, ere this, the furious spirit of the Orange faction would have somewhat subsided ; but, in common with all who feel for the real and permanent welf►re of the Sister Ki►T;dom., we have been disappointed, not but that our hope was mingled from the first with much of fearful distrust. We know well the conditio►r of Irelant4 and, know ing this, we could not be very sanguine in ex pecting that the leaders of this faction would readily become the instruments of any equitable and sober arrangement, or be reconciled -to any state of' order which curtailed their personal in fluence, or entrenched upon their n►onopoly of offic, Cblo RN 1:1 4 1G CHRONICLE. j At length the Speech of the French King has arrived, —and all , uncertainty respecting war or peace is at end. The Speech, accor?;ng to the report, wits received with loud demonstrations of applause by the Chamber. And the Duke d'Augoulerne, that worthy descendant of. Henry the Fourth, to whom lie bears so striking a re-. semblance, when he was alluded to as the Prince whom the heart of old' Louis deli g hted to can his son, and as the destined leader of the 100,000 Frenchmen, who are to march and invoke the God of St. Louis to vreserte the Throne of Spain to another worthy descendant of Henry IV. • —the Duke assumed a valiant air, and theatri. cally dapt his .band on the hilt of his sword.— Thus then the sword is fairly unsheathed. One of the most unprovoked aggressions the world ever witnessed is about to be committed against the Peninsula.---We hope for the hest. it would ill in coma us, however, with our imperfect infor• matikm as to the state of things in France, to pro nOtin( how far the French army is or is not to be tolied on in this unholy and unprincipled at tempt. We would fain persuade ourselves that the brave Spaniards will find brethren' instead of enemies in its ranks, and that the arms commis• slotted to rivet the chains of the Peninsula may aid in restoring. France itself to liberty. [VIE TIMES.] Weithis day present the most important do. , cuwent which has been laid before the public since the close of Buonaparte's career of iniquity. ft is the opening of another career—we hope of . shorter duration ; but, if we may judge from this first kpecimen, not less iniquitous, not less won,. 46'00 and detestable. Well might that tyrant say, that the Bourbons " had forgotten nothing, " and- had learned nothing, dutint4 their ba. " nishment." The document to which we refer, will prove even more, this against them ; for it will prove,, that they hate in.. deed forgotten nothing, but that they have learned that of which it were better they had rep rnained in ignorance,—that they have learned those principles which justly expelled the halo Usurper from his throne, but which they can neither support with his talents, nor illustrate with his glory. The document which we are describing is the King of France's Speech on the opening of the Session of the two Chambers. We sincerely participate with the British nation in the indignation, we might rather say the horror, which this composition will excite. It in effect declares war against Spain, without imputing to that country, or its Government, the slightest offence given to France. It ordains that Fer dinand VII. shall be free,—that is, absolute, — in order that " he may give to his people " those institutions which they have no right "to have, but from him." How long, we ask, has he been returned to Spain after he had given up his kingdom to Buonaparte, and his person into captivity ? Has he not had time, during up wards of eight years, to give his people the insti tutions of which this other Bourbon speaks, if he had been so inclined ? Gracious Heaven ! The people of Spain no right to political institutions, but those which they receive from the hands of Ferdinand VII. ! ,From whom were they to hold them, then, when be was in the prison of Nelettgay, basely soliciting a bride of the House Of Buonaparte ? [MORNING itattALita The great problem is at length proved. We have received the King of France's Speech on opening the Session of the Chambers: It is to 'all intents a declaration of war. Ills most Chris tian Majesty says—" I have ordered the recall of .stvy Minister, and ole hundred thousand Frenchmen, commanded by a Prince of my family —by him whom it delights my heart to call my son--are about to march and invoke the God of . St. Louis to preserve the Throne of Spain to a , descendant of Henry I V., to preserve that fine kingdom from ruin, and to reconcile her to Europe." This removes all doubt—yet the re is a juggling "If" follows in a subsequent para graph :-- 44 If war be inevitable, I will 'make every effort to confine its circle, and limit its duration," &c. The reader will judge what likelihood there is that war can be other than inevitable, when the condition of avoiding it is, that the Spaniards should place their necks, under the foot of King Ferdinand—or rather under the axe of his inquisitors and executioners. The mockery of "'the solemn engagement" at , the close, is unworthy of the King of France, in his personal character. But he is merely the vehicle. It belongs to, and it bears the impress of that dominant party, which blends fanaticism with imposture, and the edge of whose hatred cuts the keener for itf smoothness. THE COLONIES. ON THE UNION OF THE TWO CANAHAS '• • ••• ( From the Montreal Herald.) . • • TO THE. INUADITANTS 01' UPPER: CA.NAD,t. The difficulties which arose between the Provinces of Lower and Upper Canada, upon the subject of revenue from duties imposed on Goods imported from sea into the Port of QUebec for the common consumption of both Provineu, at length prod duced Representatives from your Logi...haute to hie 111 . nicaty'a MinikaersAatteribingthe grievance are i,Jatliciaa'tg 11 remedy. -, That remedy was only to he had through the intervention of theimperial Legislature which has applied one to the 'existing grievance ; but security against its recurrence is also necesiary; as well as provisions to meet other difficulties and points of col. lision which may arise. The.proceedings of the ifotise / of Assembly of this Province', hate been of a nature to force thbir consideration also upon Ministers, and to produce by consequence the interposition :of Parliament, it having become quite evident that the provin. eial Government and dependent" institutions must be dissolved and anarchy ensue, if measures were not speedily devised for preventing the continuance or recurrence of such proceedings, and for the restoration of harmony between the Provinces, as also for amalgamating the population of both, and promoting such feelings and characteristics as ought to. distinguish British subjects throught the Empire. A great variety of informations respecting the Canadas, be. fore the Ministry, likewise proved that their industry languish ed, that their commercial resources were not drawn forth, and that the present state of affairs aflbrded not the most distant prospect of those countries becoming less hurtheniome to the finances, or less embarrassing to the Government of Great Britain. - Upon a full consideration of the whole subject, it was clear that temporary expedients would be unavailing, and that sorn e powerful measure, embracing: the interests of the Mother COUntry and of the Cariadits, as British Provinces, as well in respect to their future solo their present situation was in dispensable. • . Acting therefore upon enlightened and prospective policy, his Majesty's Minister, during last Session, intrnatteed into the Imperial Parliament " A Bill to snake snore effectual firovisions for the Government Of the Provinces of Canada, to regulate •the trade thereof, and for other purposes ;elating thereto." The principle of redeeming past errors by re-uniting the Provinces forming a prominent feature of the Bill, was fully ' approved of, by both sides of tho House of Commons ; but objections .were started, betattse the Bill was introduced late in the session, and time was not given fur its being known to those on whom it was meant to cperate, and because it coinprisad po litical, commercial and finimebil enactments To those se condary objections, the Miniatry at length .gave way, and Consented to divide the measure; and having, out of its com ponent parts, formed two Bills, they obtained the passage of oue of them without opposition, entitled the Canada Trade MU, now in force, and 'carried the other called the Canada Governritent pill, to a second reading and recommitment, after . which it was printed and postponed till a new Session of the inverts! Parliament It is not .my intention to examine the details of the mea sure; the same havipg been long commented upon in the pub. lie prints ; but taking it general point of view, fam fully satisfied that the last-mentioned Bill is calculated to pro duce a salutary Change, is Well in the relations of the One Province with the other, as in their relations with the Unite 4 Kingdom.. The expediency and the extensive utility of the measure are --- r inewcil soi evidixtt to intelligent and unprejudiced ttliraiti, that it might not have been deemed necessary to make any attempt tip combine the sentintentspf individuals, throughout both Pro vincesin its favour, if its friends inui . not becn in a manner compe,lKto, sucks course by. the exertions of the enemies oi the measure, wbo may be too suercssful in exciting in the ig i ; natant majority of their countrymen a spirit of mistrust and alarm In the hope of defeating the beneficent intentions of the British Government. This disposition of the adverse party is tile more clear from their violent clamours against that Clause in the Biil,;which prescribes English as the Language of the - Acts and proeeedings of the joint Legislature, which enactment would tend to cherish British characteristics in the popular brine'h of the Legislature of this British Colony. For it is only . the Legislative use of the same tongue, that can operate as a permanerit cause of removing animosities and prejudices in a mixed population, by preventing mutual misunderstandings, and that can unite all, as one people, by enabling all to draw their knowledge from the sources of a common country. in such circumstances and with such prospects before us, I deem it my duty, to communicate my ideas on the important interest -which your Province may be proved to hold' in the accomplishMent of that- measure, and on the expediency of supporting it in the British Legislature by Petitions from your Districts, Counties, and otherwise as you may deem ad visable, and, I sincerely hope, that you will take in good part the present address as proceeding from a friend of Re union, who 'consider' his Welfare as identified with yours at the present crisis, which appears to demand the closest connec tion, and most cordial co-operation of all individuals through out the Canadas, distinguished by similarity of origin,language, and other sources of mutual sympathy. While Lower Canada remains in its present situation with its foreign aspect, the British Government, and the British nation may be row* less willing to - make those sacrifices of time, attention, and national revenue, which would benefit both' Provinces. And it is impossible to devise any general measure so well Calculated to restore confidence, and improve the rela. firms between the Canada and the Mother-country as the re. .union of Upper to Lower Canada. For that measure is not recommendable merely as a security against the recur rence of financial difficulties, but it is likewise recommended by many physical and moral circumstances of a permanent and progressive description. Thus the geographical situation, the face, of the country, and - the course of its principal river, all suggest the propriety of one Legislature. The variation in climate throughout the settlements' is not so great as to cause any important difference in the character and habits of the po pulation ;; and frnm Lake Erie to the Gulph of the St. Law rence, the current of waters generally descends in a Northeast directiOn, while the left bank of the river and the left shores of the Lakes, so far as yet settled, : are chiefly plain or gentle ac. divides ; and neither large rivers; norchains ofhigh mountains cross the country to afford lines of demarcation,. or natural boun daries ; sci that this comparatively open communication and want of defensible barriers strongly recommend concentration both of military and civil power. Thin` in separating these Provinces, the indications of na tural: position were neglected, anti the impolitic division was persisted in, notwithstanding the evils which were then pre dicted, and which have been since experienced. Indeed the principal objects, assigned by the celebrated author of the separation (the lite Mr. Pitt) forpersisting in it, namely, that it would produce unanimity in Lower Canada, and by the ex. ample of a neighbouring Province, prospering under British Laws anti Characteristics, prevail upon the French Canadians voluntarily to improve their feudal and anti-commercial code, have so 'completely failed, that were he now alive, his great mind would acknowledge. tite errOr and repair it, as far as pot- Able, by Re-union, lie wouiChave learned that the division of Canada. produtted.ar divialOn' of intsrest.s, and that many per. sons attached to BritishLars.aad Guetoros abandoning the ad, vantages of 'proximity to the. ommercial. outlet by sea, .were thus drawn to an inland situation. where their mintil,worPed I.;Y:. • , local interests,•were inevitably disengage() from that warm Par" ticipation in the wants and wishes of their brethren, which had previously existed. , 'lle would have learned, that the English party in the Lower Province, thus weakened, have been ens gaged in an inetreethal struggle during43o years to obtain from the FreneliCanadiantnajority in the House of Assembly various salutary Laws for the protection of commerce 4 the security of property, and the improvement of the country, and the manifold sins of omission and commission of the present Legislature have gradually produced such a state of affairs, that the English part of the population are in danger of being sacrificed to the ambi tion of a few agitators, who will cherish to the last,: as the fotrn - dation of their power, the hurtful prejudices of the French , Canadians. In fine, that illustrious Statesman must have come to the decision of his enlightened successor, namely, that the Re-union of Upper to Lower Canada is the only line of policy which can insure to the English Population that weight in the Country, which is highly expedient for the improvement of both provinces and for the interest of the Empire at large. That these Provinces have common interests,. which cannot be provided for by 'separate legislation, said local expedient, is indisputable. They have only one direct channel of communi. cation with the Mother Country by sea, through which the sup. plies of their wants and the exports of their surplus produce can pass, for the benefit 'of British Commerce. Whichever Province his the key of that communication, keeps the other Substantially in its power. 'Lower Canada holds that key; it is in the hands of the French party, of persons anticommercial in habits, foreign in origin, and, inheriting antipathies to all who differ from them in those characteristics. And those are likewise the habits and antipathies which they desire to be en abled to preserve, by remaining a separate people. But this principle in suchcircumstances, so incompatible with your in. wrests and with those of yout posterity, 'can nevot be sanction. ed ; for, from the geographical position of this Province, and the advantages incident thereto, it must, if established, event ually tempt, if not compel.yourselves, and, your descendants to become essentially French, If the inhabitants of Lower Canada were all of British origin, end those of Upper CatradiiFreneb, there would be less danger to national reputation and interest, in allowing the strange anomaly of a people in a British Province, avowing their wish to remain foreign in character and distinct in situation t but, in existing circumstances, if the Provinces continue separate, you must, politieally speaking, be at the mercy'of those who have feelings and sympathies Uncongenial with yours. Should any . persona. be so weak as to think that the Ca nada Trade Bill, containing provisions for the arbitration and settlemeni of the present differences between the provinces, on the subject of neVenue, and for a kind of consent in future, on the part of your Legislature, respecting the 'imposition or cessation of Import Dutiei,is a sufficient remedy or preven tive of financi a l gr i evances , th e y gro ss ly deceive themselves. The consent only implies a negative of douliful utility ; for your Legislature can neither initiate,, nor alter a duty, nor in terfere in its collection ; but all propositions and regulations for those purposeSmust originate in the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, Whose general dispoiltion yeti have 'reason to know and to:distrust. If therefore the enactment aforesaid be not speedily followed by the Legislative Union, the breach will only be widened ; :tit} Ilk-union Incoming every year more necessary, will be found, every year more difficult to be effected, and the present time is peculiarly proper for the great work of Consolidating th e Canadian Provinces, when the Brltis4 nation, at peace with the whole world, and the British Government chiefly occupied with Legislative measures for internal improvement, can best extend their views anti attention to Colonial affairs and amelio rations interesting to British Commerce. The measure of Re-union is not only of urgent , necessity as the only effectual remedy for financial grievances; but it is also imperiously required to preient those legislative coll. sions between the Provinces, on other subjects connected with ,tlieir future progress in population and settlement.— FOr improvement of internal navigaion by canals, and by re ' moving obstructions in riven, are justly to be viewed as objects of joint utility though of separate locality ; but can we con ceive that, with distinct Legislatures, the two Provinces could ever agree upon the apportionment of the expellee to be de frayed by each in accomplishing such works ? Other improve ments of equal importance may likewise represent themselves to your minds, as exposed to the same difficulty; -and the broba ble consequence of discord on all such matters, will be, that every improvement in your Province, beyond the means af forded by local assessment, will be left unattempted, and if combination and co.operation be found unpracticable, for improving internal communications by land and by water, and for directing your commerce, by every facility, to the outlet of the Saint Lawrence, (thus securing to Montreal and Quebec, the supply of your wants, and the Export of your produce), the most fertile interests of your Province will be driven to obtain a commercial outlet for their produce, and an exchange of it for different kinds of goods and manufactures. by forming connections with the States of New York and Penn sylvania. And ought not such, the inevitable results of a con tinuance of the present situation of the two Provinces, to alarm every loyal subject, and induce him to support the cause of Re• union, as a relief from present evils as well as a harbinger of future good ? But small would be the alleviation which com. mercial connections with foreign States and Merchants would bring ; for the geographical position of Upper Canada in a se parate State, dooms it to a dependence on LOwer Canada ; and let me suppose, that the House of Assembly of the latter Pro vince, for the purpose of forcing you into an acceptance of such a proportion of Import Revenue, as it thought proper, should hold in the Treasury the monies ariaing from such share of revenue, where then would be your remedy ? None could be found but in the authority of the Imperial Parliament ; and is it possible seriously to contemplate the perpetuation of a system of separate legislation, which would, inevitably, from time to time, render it necessary to harrass the. Supreme Le. gislature with Colonial quarrels and complaint. To illustrate farther the various occasions of distention which a protracted separation will prnduce let me remark, the difference between your mode of taxation and that pursued by the French party in this Province ; their ways and means have always consisted of taxes on imports of goods, not ex cepting British manufactures, for the common consumption of both Provinces and the produce of those taxes is partly employed for the building of Court Houses, and Goals and for the support of other local establishments, objects, which you provide for by county rates. Thus you have been subject to taxation, without representation, which is to be considered a grievance even though you should receive a share of the pro, duce in proportion to your consumption of dutiable articles. And in the progress of various disputes and jealousies, already in existence, is it not only a possible but a probable result, that hostilities may actually take place betweim the Provinces, par. ' ticularly in some extreme cases, arising out of old quarrels, where the irritation of the moment may prevent one party from waiting the remit of 'arefereoce W the supreme Govern. tricot at a distance of three thousand rates ? Before I conclude the present iuldress, permit me to dwell a few mornents--with plcasing anticipation, upon the pro. gressire effects of that mild alterative remedy which has been prescribed for our relief by the paternal Covertunem of his aj es ty.— The redress of the grievances, and removal of the disadvan. tages under which both provinces, and many individuals, of different classes within the same now labour, wilt be obtained either immediately, from the enactments of the Union Bill, or, in process of time, from the spirit of improvement, the . energY,and enlarged political dlseussions which nr4y be ex pected from a Legislature sufficiently numerous to give a fair chance of its containing men of talent capable of conci liating and controuling those local and personal interests, which h"ave hitherto so notoriously impeded the dove lopenieni of the resources of the Canadas, and prevented them from becoming a valuable appendage to the British Empire. Fronisuch a Legislature thus calculated to acquire the re. spect and confidence of the great majority of the Colonial po. pularion, you might expect important ameliorations in the do. mastic economy of your province ; and • it would not be - surprising, if under, such auspices, the internal communica. dons, by land and by water, should in a few years, be so much improved that your surplus produce might be delivered at Montreal in half the time, and at half the expence, which are now required ; while your purchases of goods 'in those Markets might be laid down in your stores with an equal saving of time and money. Prom such a Legislature you might expect decisih en. couragement to agriculture, and unceasing eWorts to obtain in external Market, through the Po r t of Q ue b ec , f or the vari. oas fniits of your industry, securing at the same time, as far as consistent with the interests of Commerce, a preference to the native products of your soil for consumption within the province. • By the petitions of Such a Legislature, calculated to acquire the regag and confidence of the British Government, You might expect, from the parent state, many conunerdal favours which would he denied to petty assemblies, that have too often been found devoid of liberality and incapable of conciliat. iii, the interest" of the Colonies with those of the Mother. country. Prom such a Legislature you might expect well digested measures for the edailnistration of Justice, the protection-of Commerce and the security . of property throughout the Cana. das, which would attract British capital, raising the value of lands and houses, introducing new kinds of industry, and en_ abling the Colony to establish, on a permanent foundation, those various public institutions which support and adorn civi. lized Society. When you meet with objections to the union, I entreat you not only to analyze and investigute them severely, but likewise to consider the individuals or associations who make them so that the peculiarities of their situation and character may throw light upon their real motives. In this manner should the various objections brought by Quebec and York be sem. tinised, and you will find it extremely . difficult to account' for the encreasing clamours of the majority of the inhabitants of those places except by ascribing to them the hope of continuing to profit by the present abuses or the fear of a depredation of t h e i r property by the'probable removal of the seat of the Legis. lature to Montreal. But if:you find your suspicions confirmed by the proposed investigation, you may well represent to the .Parliament that " the demount of selfish individuals who are never satisfied with a due share of the general advan. tage,' should neither prevent nor retard the wise and season« able -measure in question, which is eqUally requisite far the la good of the Colony, and , for the interest o f t h e E mp i re, at rge.- In my humble any' measure it is b e y on d t h e power of human wis. dons to devise any maasttre 'calculated to deliver the Canada* from existing evils, to enable them to enjoy their natural ad. vantages, and to insure their lasting and beneficial dependence u p on t he parent State, except the re.unian of those . provinces. This Would remove ail discord, change envy into manly emu. lation,"extinpish national prejudices, and amalgamate their whole population into one h omogeneous mass, animated by the same views for the public interest, and by die same sentiment, of royalty tewards their Co4llllpll.
