THE COLONIES. • THE CANADAS. (Continue from THE S.utt of yesterday.] IS:nos - row, (U. C.) JULY 27.—The weather during the aiesent month leas been remarkably cool for the season, and ineiced few days have passed when the heat of the mid day sun could. properly be termed oppressive. In the course of the last two weeks we have had very abundant showers of rain, which have served to keep the ground moist and promote vegetation in a remarkable degree. We understand that the crops of lye, bailey, oats, Indian corn, and spring sown wheat have a very promising aPpearance; and though the fall sowings were ge nerarly injured by the alternate frosts and thaws of the winter, and in some instances so totally destroyed as to induce the far mer to plough up the ground and put a spring crop, the field's' which were allowed to remain untouched now promise to yield a fat Mare abundant harvest to the farmer than he had antici , Fated. Potatoes, turnips, and all sorts cf esculent plants are gacarlag luxuriantly. Every where the orchards promise an . abarndene? of fine fruit. The crops of hay are generally light, the moss of the timothy and clover having like the wheat,. been tae:tireyed by exposure to the winter frost without the usual quantity of scow to protect them from the weather ; besides the long thought in Aril and May was rather unfavourable to the meadows, and the rains of this and the preceding month have come too /ate tq be of much service to them. Yesterday and to day the weather has been fine for mowing, and_ it will be greatly in favour of both the hay and wheat harvest if it eon tiaae dry for a few weeks. In some parts of Ameliasburgh Aaalphustown, we understand that the Hessian fly has z.ze .ts appearance. nizaanane.„ LT tor 14.—8 y a paragraph in this day's paper it will be seen that a cut down the mountain in the land which Areas the fall at Niagara, is about being performed in the cauree cf the summer: a little more fail, perhaps 23 feet, . wo auks, aall bring the canal on a level with Lake Ontario ; this we presume will be done by these enterprising people, and will thas connect the navigation of Lakes Erie and Ontario, 'on that vie of the rivera-thie will, however, be only navigable with a:1;01dd the good people of that province make a cut on this side, we hope it will be upon a scalelarge enough to carry vesaels that can navigate both lakes, which will give this a de- caned advantage. Should the people of this province have spirit sufEcient to peeaarm this useful piece Of navigation, the Erie canal 'will be of vast benefit to the people settled on both sales of the Lake Erie;- the low price of produce, and the expensive conveyance, renders the labour of the husbandman . almost use -11 's in thoce fertile regions, except for home consumption.— 'The great utility of a canal from the waters of the Niaaara river above the falls, to thatbelow, cannot be doubted ; but we repeat what we have said before, that unless it is on a scale large enough to carry vessels that can navigate both lakes, the labour will be in a great measure lost-siX feet water would be suffi cient, we believe, for that purpose, eight feet, however, would be much better. It would be a great benefit to this part of the country, particularly to this town, if part of thewatere above the falls be carried over the heights of Queenston, it would produce an inexhaustible supply of water for any kind of ma chinery ; which, in this fertile country, at a future day, might be of great benefit—a cut from the head waters of the Chip- pawa Creek to the still waters of the Grand River, would not only form an easy, safe inland navigation to Lake Erie, and would shorten the dangerous navigation of :that Lake, but it would open an inland navigation through the richest part of this proyince, to the head waters of that noble river, a distance not much less than 200 miles. Thus far (we believe) scows and lefts might be brought in the spring of the year.—(Niag. Gleaner.) Q VEBE.C, JULY 30, 1321.—The annual Cattle Show for the county of Quebec was holden on Thursday lust, at the church of Si. Ambrose, conformably to the public advertisement of the WI-March last.—The mares, geldings, bulls, and much cows, were numerous, and several of them ofa superior quality. Some good sheep were exhibited, and many of the swine were wo,r thy of attention, as being of the best sort of the Canadian breed. Na agricultural implements were produced. Some entries, we uracrstand, were made for the premium °flared for the farm in the be. order, a kind of competitian which embraces every thing that contributes to the profit and comfort of the farmer.

The warm and dry weather which prevailed at the close of the,iast month, was succeeded by showers, light rains, and eeld night , .., which continued at intervals from the 4th to the middle u, the uaoath. The latter part has been warm, with a few al lowers. On the .3tlr and 31st the Thermometer stood for. se veral hours at upwards of 9D" in the shade, with a moist and verroportasive atmosphere. The spring wheat came in ear alanut the 15th of the month, full 'eight days later than the aye rrulae of anumbcr of successive years. The crop is now luxu riant, and ii,t not, as yet, met with any accident.. The ears, in • some fields, already begin to fill and change colour. Winter whait is now out of danger from blight or rust. Barley is well advanced to riptnesS and is a fair average crop. Early sown oat; are forward and luxuriant. Large quantities of this gram. arr. however late, the sowing having been retarded by the rains in May. Some early field peas arc nearly ripe, and the crop in general of this useful and important article of culture, pro mises to be abundant. The potato( crops have also a favours appearance, particularly where the ground has been well wrcught, and (leaned before planting, and a distance of about two and a half feet beer. reserved between the rows to allow of their being kept clean and th e pl an t s we ll earthed up. We have observed only but a few fields of turnips in the vicinity of Qnebee, and the culture spreads bet slowly throughout the bia triet. Although there have been several matarices of their suc cessful cultivation on the same farm during four years, without one failure, the farmers, notwithstanding teat they begin to perceive the advantages to be derived from this crop as fool for cattle during the winter, are still deterred from attempting it on a largo scale by a want of knowledge of the suitable time of sowing the seed .and made of cultivating the plant, and the want of the proper implements for abridging the work, which, properly managed, is not greater than that required for pota toes. There is still reason to believe that the culture of this root is gaining ground, and that perseverance and example will in time fully introduce it ; without which the improved system of• British husbandry can hardly be expected to succeed in this province ; viz. the cleaning and manuring the land by fallow crops, followed in successive years by grain, hay, pasture, and . grain, thus rendering the soil fully productive every year, instead of its producing perhaps not half a crop every other year, as is the case tinder the present management.—The hay crops prove ge h n 'rally thin and short, excepting on very rich land, naving been stinted by the dry weather in June, and also partially injured by the grasshoppers, and other insects, which have been unu sually numerous this Season. The quantity, upon the whole, will not probably • exceed that of - last year, but the difference will, this seasOn, be better supplied by straw, which will be in much greater ikuantity than last year.—The pastures - have suf fered from The same =set as the meadows, and live stock of all kinds consequatlye ecreainues lean and low priced, while - fat cattle bring very '',sigh prices. The orchards promise, at least, the usual queetity - ef 4ples and plums; cherries have entirely failed, but the smaller' fruit bushes have given abundant crops where the leaves havenot been destroyed by the caterpillers and grasshoppers. The gardens are less productive than usual.— ;Upon the whole, so far, we have reason to be thankful that the earth promises to yield its fruit in abundance and in good season.. Trade and the oth er b ranc h es o f mechanical industry are fail ing away daily, and . previous habits, formed. by many years of commercial prospenty,. make the-evil to be severely felt by all claises ; yet our lot is fa e from being the worst. We are neither weighed down by the payment of the interest of an enormous I.public•debt, nor by heavy direct taxes and assessments for the support of an immense expenditure and innumerable paupers. 'rite soil isstill pretty equally divided amongst us a vast and unoccupied continent will long protect us - against the exactions of large- proprietors in the shape of rents. If the embarrass .,tneritS of the - mother country, want of information, or inatten tion, on the part of her„Government, should even occasion the entire destruction of our trade, .by 'retrenching superfinous and unnecessary Ferpenditureethe hulk of our population, at least, can live within theMselves till the return of better times.—Que.- bec, 31st .

We understand that on the night of the' 28th instant, at the .Lake of the Two Mountains, the family of Jaupout, a chief of the Alonquin tribe, consisting of eighteen persons, retired to rest, leaving a candle burning, stuck in the wall directly over basket containing five pounds of powder, two in a leathern bag -and three wrapped in paper, which he had bought during the day : in the course of the night the candle tell from the wall into the basket among the powder, the three pounds of which exploded, completely rendering the house. asunder, and 'scat tering its inmates to different parts of the adjoining ground ; the bag of powder was blown into the air without taking fire ; • The members of the family were all in some manner injured, excepting an infant child, which was however nearer to the powder than any other person of the family. ' CANANDAIGUA, JULY h.—Messrs. Holley and &ick, Canal Commissioners, left this place in Friday's stage for Al bany, where Governor Clinton had summoned the Board to meet. Messrs. H. and B. on Tuesday and Wednesday last let out many jobs on the Canal, from Genesee river west, on terms very advantageous to the State ; in some instances excavation o w:is taken as low ss four cents per cubic yard. The aqueduct to cross Genesee river was contracted some time since—the dif ficult passage over the Ironduquot, near Mann's mills, is exe cuting ; and it may be said that nearly the whole line of the Canal, from Erie to the Hudson, is now under contract. By October next, it is probable . that boats can pass - from Little Falls, in flerkinier county, to the Ironduquot, in Mouroe county. The Lake Erie steam-boat Walk-in-the-Water, which was to have sailed tor Detroit, Alichilimackinac and Green Bay on the •tli inst., has suspended that trip until the 27th July, the troops and public property to be cor.veyod in her, not hav ing arrived in season—meantime she makes a trip to - Detroit as usual. A late New England paper states, that.the Legislature of Connecticut has passed a law to prevent the spreading of Canada Thistles.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW Morning, 19 minutes after 11. 1 Evening, 4& minutc:i after 11. THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERB PALSUi I.AUDE.4T LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1821. We received the Paris Journals of. Monday and Tuesday, which contain not a word of intel ligence respecting . the present state of the rela tions between Russia and Turkey. It would appear, however, from the substance of the note sent by the Porte, in answer to the Russian ultimet;in, that all the demands of Russia have not been acceded to, for the Porte declines to withdraw its forces from Moldavia and Walachia until the insurrection is entirely suppressed; the evacuation of which Provinces by the Turks, was one of the conditions insisted on by the Russian Government. The following is the copy of this note, as 'Cis:circulated at Vienna The 'Porte has always respected its 'treaties with other powers, and especially- with Russia ; the energetic and extraordinary "measures pur sued against the Greeks have , been 'direeted against rebellious subjects ; every Government has the right, and is imperiously called on, to punish traitors, and all those who disturb the public peace. The. Ottoman Government disap proves of the excesses which the populace com , . - mitted, but the people had taken up arms to de fend their religion and their lawful thronee- , -- Walachia and :Moldavia cannot be evacuated . until the - insurrOtion is entirely suppressed, and peace and order restored. The detention of the corn vessels in the Bosphorus and at Constantino ple, was absolutely necessary for the provisioning of the capital ; besides, this measure was resorted to by .the local authorities with o ut th e or d e r s o f the Government, and the Christians rendered it indispensable, because their privateers blockad ed the Dardanelles. The Porte moreover is ready to grant indemnities to such of the subjects of Russia as shall have sustained any loss by this measure. The free navigation of the straits shall be re-established. The Porte never intended to punish any but the guilty; all faithful and peace able subjects shall continue •to enjoy the pro tection of the laws, and not be 'molested in the exercise of their religious worship." The f, Rasps SEIGNidn has addressed a finnan 'to all the Public. Authorities in - Anatotia and Romelia, informing ,them he has heard of Many instances or Cruelty and oppression exercised by them against peaceable subjects not implicated in the present insurcections in those Provinces, and enjoining. them, under pain of dreadful punish ment, riot to molest, but to afford protection to all peaceable and innocent subjects. The letters from Constantinople come down to the 18th of August, at which date that capital was very quiet. - From Frankfort we learn that the arrival of I Prince DEMETRIUS YPSILANTI, and. Prince C. T4CVZENA, in the Moron, has produced a great sensation, and that many. individuals, from all countries, especially from France, of distinguit,h. ed military talents, arrive daily in the Pelopon nesus, and enter the armies of the insurgents, who have since obtained several advantages. The Maiuotes act separately, and have almost delivered their country from the Turkish yoke. At sea the Greek fleet, conSisting of one huddred sail, has met with decided success. in Macedon, ODYS SEUS (i r LYssts) is at the head of 26,000 men, and opposed to about 20,000 Turks, A great battle was expected, which would determine the fate of Salonica. Et seems that ALI PACHA has at length concluded a • treaty with the Greeks, by which he agrees to surrender up to them the castle of ioannina, and to pay them two millions of piastres. The Suliotes, 011 their part, have given him for his personal safety a corps of 7000 men, besides which about 12,000 Albanians have joined him. According to letters received at Pest, in Hungary, from undoubted authority, Prince ALEXANDER YP , ULANTI has been released from confinement in the Austrian fortress of - Munkatsch, and is on his way to Trieste under a.borrowed name. It is said he obtained his freedom at the intercession 'of ussi#. The intelligence from Madrid come:, down to the 7th instant. The state of the public mind in that capital was at . the height of irritation, yet the public peace had not bet disturbed, though a crisis seems inevitable. The KING is still at St. Ildefonso, and in .reply to the addresses of the permanent deputation of the Cortes, and the Municipality of Madrid, requestingTETs - MA: JETTY to return to his capital, has informed them that he sees no immediate necessity for his return; but that he. will do so as soon as the state of his health permits. At the same time the KING ordered two battalions of the Guards to occupy La Granga,and sent orders, it is said, to Montr,Lo to re-assume immediately the military command of the province and the town of Madrid. The KING has refused to accept the resignations of his Mi nisters, and, it is reported, is resolved not to return to Madrid until the 28th, at the open-. ing of the Cortes. The regular troops and militia are kept constantly under arms. • . The conspiracy of Saragossa is the subject of general conversation.. MINA is suspected to have participated in the plot of Itmoo ; but this is scarcely credible, as no disturbances have taken place in Galicia, of which province the for mer is Captain General. it appears that the conspiracy at Saragossa was discovered by an officer of high distinction, and who was very active in restoring the constitution in 1820, lie woes solicited by the conspirators to join them, and pretended to accede to their wishes, with the design of gaining a knowledge of the parti on:ars of the plot. As soca as he had accotn• plished this object, he communicated the pilrti culars to the Public Authorities, and thus discon certed the plans of the conspirators.

It appears the mur derer's wife -first' revealed the. atrocious deed, being herself threatened by him and her life in danger; he was then apprehended, and lodged in this gaol, but . his trial -was deferred for want of evidence. An answer was returned them' that their demand could not be granted.; that the prisoner having been delivered into our custody, must be tried according, to our laws, The In dians agreed to the justice of our reasoning, and having received presents, returned home well plea3ed with the reception they met with froth his Excellency." --:-- The extract which we yesterday, took from the Quebec Gazette, contained a just, dispassionate, and convincing representation, of the severe in ,jury inflicted on our American Colonies, by the two-fold operation of - our Navigation and Corn Laws. Of the former (the , Navigation Laws) the Quebec Gazette has . too much sound sense, •and' accurate, knowledge of political economy, to complain. They are evidently •essential to the prosperity and power of the whole 'Empire, and the interests of the Colonies,.therefore, are equally involved with those of- the Mother Coun.. try in their preservation. But the same defence cannot be advanced. for the policy of the Corn Laws, as affecting the Colonies. However wise or necessary it may have. been thought to make the attempt, by prohibitory restrictions, of giving ample protection to the British farmer against foreign competition, the same principle cannot be applied, either on maxims of justice, or with views of liberal and sound policy, to our own Colonies. We have a right .. to 'protect our own interests from the injurious competition of foreigners. We have no _right to make an abso lute sacrifice of the interelts of one portion of the subjects of the Empire, in order. to promote the interests of another portion. What would be thought, if, during a temporary depression of the agricultural markets, a law were passed pro hibiting any corn to be furnished to the_London market, from Ste more fertile counties of Eng land' in order that the cultivators of the inferior . . . . , soils, by manopoiizing tire supply of the Mefrefr polls, might be enabled to command a remaget rating price for their produce ? Such a measure would be as unjust in principle as it would be impolitic and iejurime; in its effects. I t would not diminish, in the slightest. degree, th e aggregate amount of difficulty or - distress ; f ( o r though it would 'undoubtedly prevent the evil from falling upon the owners of the less fertile lands, it would throw the whole of the calamitYl with considerable aggravation,. upop. the holder s of the best soils, and upon the inhabitants of th e metropolis, compelled, by such a law, to paY much higher price for articles of consumptio n than those articles would otherwise have ob tained. The operation of the present Corn Laws . upon, the - Canadas, is precisely of this deserir Lien ; and the application of them to th e Colonies is exactly the same in principle' arid produces exactly the same results' as .if the distinction were between differen t counties in England. And surely thie is . L I principle on which the Landowners cannot wish that the British:Government shodld continue to act. These are results of which the Colonisj. s have good reason' t o com pl a i n , an d w hi c h th.e people of ,England must, f or t h e i nter e st o f there selves, was ell as of their fellow- su bj ec t s abroad.; desire to see remedied. lf, as respects Englco alone, the interests of the whole people were, only to be considered, there could Pe very little difficulty with the question. sidered as one body, it is obviously the in' terest of the British people that their eustenefic if its permanent supply, can be depended Or!' should be obtained at the lowest price which ' s possible. By taking a large portion of it fro l as t ' our fine Coloni e s, we s h ou ld di rect l y benefi t the Mother Country by the increased- ab uliv dance and the cheapness of food,' and b° stimulating the. increase of population in threse remoter parts Of the Empire, capabl e of sustaining a hundred •millions- of i n habi" tants, and thus opening a vast mart for 6 ° r manufactures. The argument in favour of re' strictions, that.

With our superiority at sea, th e ' harvests of our American Colonies can be brogh t to our ports with the same safety during war 0 during peace. But unhappily the supposed 41 : terests of a portion of the people are too oftel oppo*d, and with a fatal success, to the IA interests of the whole. To keep up the reirt. s ; ° land in England, at an unnatural elevation, the i' 1 ; 1 terests of the Colonies are sacrificed, the gra' cl i j i , vents for oar manufactures contracted and fina- : closed, our home population rendered idle arid d i ''; contented, and inadequately supplied with foot-L b a ,.. an exorbitant price: The necessary result mast 5 a diminished population, and the fall of P''' ce m and rents, in spite of every futile attempt support them, after the channels of our prosper it y f shall have been dried up, and the po,ver of England withered in her grasp. By promatil nu. the prosperity of the Colonies, on the other ha we should directly increase the employrrie r V wealth, and happiness of our own people ; these are the only permanent means of ireeP".) up the value of land.
