Dr. Bowring then expressed an opinion that it would be very desirable that a general publicity should be given by means of the press to these questions, in which opinion the Chair man coincided. lie also reported that the Committee had not as yet been able to frame the questions for the Agriculturists, and he therefore asked leave to delay the presentation of these ques tions until Monday next.

" The correspondence between Bettine and Goethe is really a curiosity, and furnishes a valuable subject for the study of human nature in some of its strangest unfoldings. It is so original, so undesigning, so characteristic, and often so eloquent, that even the cold English reader will be captivated." — Monthly Review. London Longman, Orme, and Co. By order J. F. BELL, Secretary. Mr. EWART said he perhai-4, might 4 ibe allowed to express the pleasure he felt at seeing so increased a number of Members of Parliament present—(l - leer, hear)—and also upon the force of that support which the cause had gained in the Press.—( Hear.) He was rejoioal to find that that long-tried advocate of a repeal of the Corn-laws, Earl Fitzwilliam, had again come into the field, and had ' Published a third admonitory letter to the landowners of England— would to Heaven it were not in vain 2—(Hear.) That there were some enlightened landowners, he (Mr. Ewart) rejoiced ; but he wished the number was smaller of those Beetien 'Squires, upon whose intellects it was vain to attempt any impression.—(Hear, hear, hear.) hie trusted, however, that the cause would have advocates not only In the House of Commons, but in the House of Lords, where,besides Earl Fitzwilliam, it would have the aid of the splendid talents of Lord Brougham.—(Hear.) And he hoped that the same bold announcement which had been made in the House of Commons,by Mr. Villiers, would be made in the House of Peers; and that in both Houses the hearing of evidence at the bar would be demanded.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Mr. Ewart then corrected an error which crept into the report of yesterday's proceedings, in which he was represented to have said that the present Lord Auckland had made the motion to hear evi dence against the Orders in Council, in 1808: whereas, though he had by mistake said so at first, he immediately corrected himself, and stated that it was not the present Lord Auckland. He proceeded to say that he hoped on a question of such great national Importance, the wishes of the people would not be attempted to be thwarted by technical objections.—(Hear.) It had been represented that the precedent which he had cited of the hearing of evidence against the Orders in Council, was not in point, because the Orders in Council might be reversed by the Sovereign alone, whereas the repeal of the Corn laws could only be gained by the intervention of all three branches of the Legislature; but that appeared to him to be in reality a stronger case for the hearing of evidence. — (Hear, hear, hear.) Again, he had heard that another of the sophistical technical objections of lawyers against the hearing of evidence was, that when evidence was heard against the Orders in Council, a Bill on that subject was before the House of Commons. But it was recorded on the Journals of the House, that the petitioners applied to be heard, not as against the Bill, but as against the Orders its Council. Though he believed, however, that even on the ground of precedent, he was right, yet he did think that on such a great national question as the repeal of the Corn-laws, even if there were the shadow of a suspicion that prece dent was altogether with them, the demands of justice should overpower the dry technicalities of lawyers.—(Hear.) He under stood that whatever motion was made by the opponents of the Corn-laws, it would be resisted by the agricultural interest in the House of Commons. In so acting, doubtless the gentlemen sup porting that interest, honestly believed they were doing their duty; COMFORT, CLEANLINESS, AND ECONOMY.

Well, then, if the opponents of the Corn.laws could show to Sir Robert Peel that they were prejudicial to the prosperity of trade and manufactures, he must support their abolition.—(Hear, hear.) Again, in the same year, 1836, the Right Honourable Baronet said, " I am perfectly satisfied that the agricultural interests must even. tually rest on their own exertions, and I should advise them to look o the farmers of Scotland, and endeavour to work out some plan of Pm: lioration, and consequently of relief, for themrelves."—(Hear.)

CORN-LAWS.-REPEAL OF THE UNION.-At the meeting of the Precursor Society, last Saturday, O'Con nell took occasion to correct an error in the report of one of his speeches. He was made to say that he would vote in fa vour of Corn-laws, and of a fixed duty. Now what he said was, that he would vote in favour of the repeal of these laws ; and as to a fixed duty, ho considered it a fixed injustice. He added, that he had the pleasure of an nouncing that his son had the permission of the people of Meath, although it was an agricultural county, to vote for a repeal of the Corn-laws. The-Learned Gentleman, speaking of the course he intended to adopt, said he would leave the measure of municipal reform in the hands of Ministers, who were pledged to bring it in. His first proposition would be a simple one—one which could not he mystified—a Bill for the equalisation of the franchise. Upon this he would take his stand; and if the proposition were rejected, he should feel that the business of the Precursor Society was at an end ; that it should cease its exertions with a view to obtain justice for Ireland; and that its members should stand forth to associate for a re peal of the legislative union. He did not desire to be misunderstood. FRENCH OPINIONS upon BRITISH STATES MEN. — We extract the following flattering tribute to the merits of the two most distinguished Members of our Ca binet from one of the best Parisian periodicals:—" If all, Gur Ministers, past, present, and future, be sickly, infirm gouty, and asthm atic, the En g lish Mi n i s t ers , on th e con trary,are distinguished for their gracefulness and fine health. The other night, at Lord who had just arrived from London, the company dwelt upon the elegance and refined dandyism of Lord Palmerston and Lord Mel bourne, who in order to please, within the limits of constitutional propriety, a young Queen o f ni ne t een years, take, it is said , daily lessons from the Lion of Fashion—him whom all Europe knows as the Blare d'Orsay. Lord Palmerston delayed for four hours the signing of the treaty of the twenty-f our articles, though, God knows, it had been delayed enough, because he was detained at home waiting for a new coat; and Count d'Orsay, who was present at his toilette, had remarked that his cravat was not well tied, and his rouge not well applied, for it is owing to his Lord ship improving his complexion, with the assistance of the finest carmine, that he is known at Court by the name of Cupid. Lord Melbourne, on the other hand, is not less fashionable—he has the honour of accompanying the Queen wherever she goes ; he has established around her a sort of blockade which nobody can pass without his permission ; he has settled permanently at Court, and dines no m ore a t home. It is said that his cook has just written to him, begging that his place may not be included among the sinecures to be abolished in next session— seeing that from the little he has to do it might be in oludvd in the class of useless places."—MornillY Pose. of the Corn-laws at Blanchester?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Ewart went on to say he regretted that certain persons should consider that be cause the manufacturing interest had somewhat advanced, therefore the repeal of the Corn-laws was not required.—(Hear.) If it were provost that the advance of our manufactures was sloe er than that of foreign manufactures, there was still a case made out for the repeal.—(Hear.) And was it not better at once to remove the ma. lady, than to allow the patient to linger and pine away under a slow atrophy!—(Hour.) The supporters of the Corn laws would not allow the manufacturers of their own country to run a lair race of competition with the foreign manufacturers ; on the contrary, they had to run that race in fetters ; and how could they be expected to win f'—(Hear.) Was it not to be na. turally anticipated, as was the fact, that foreign manufactures should rapidly gain ground upon upon us t--(Hear.) And If the remedy of free trade were not applied ei e long, it would come only in the hour of Enetand's ruin. —(Hear, hear.) Dr. BOWRING said he had seen it stated that in France there were no Corn laws ; and that yet her manufacturers were often distressed. The truth was just the reverse; for, unhappily, France had followed our bad example in rcspect to the establishment of a Corn law, and the result was, frequent distress and insurrection took place in the manufacturing districts.—(Hear.) The Learned Doctor then remarked that he did not think sufficient attention was always paid to the probable result of following up the principles of free trade on the Continent ; which would be, to improve the condition of the inhabitants of the Continental States, and a consequent increase of consumption, so that the exportation of corn from those States would therefore be leas than was anticipated.—(Hear.) In whatever way the question was regarded the evils of a repeal of the Corn-laws would be much less than was represented by the agricultu rists ; as, on the other hand, the benefits of that repeal would be greater than even its advocates expected.—(Hear.) The CHAIRNIAN announced that it had been resolved in Notting ham to send a succession of Delegates to the central body, as long as it continued its sittings. Towards the close of the proceedings, Earl Fitzwilliam entered the room, and coversed familiarly with several of the Delegates. The following is a copy of the circular and questions alluded to by Dr. Bowring in presenting the Report of the Evidence of the Committee of the Anti-Corn-law Delegation : SlR,—The Deputies fur obtaining the Repeal of the Corn.laws request your answers to such of the following queries, as your sources of information may enable you to furnish, in aid of their important object,—a Legislative Repeal of the Duties and Restric tions en the import of all articles of food. 1- Have the existing laws, which interfere with the free importa tion of articles of food, any and what effect on the Foreign Trade of Great Britain and Ireland, in limiting our Exports of Manufactures or other articles of commerce? 2.

Brown's Hotel, New PAlace-yetti, Weitatinster, lob, 1839, The follovving is the conclusion of this Report : " I have now brought under review the most promi nent features of the condition and institutions of the British Colonies in North America. It has been my painful task to exhibit a state of things which cannot be contemplated without grief by all who value the well being of our colonial fellow-countrymen and the inte grity of the British empire. I have described the operation of those causes of division which unhappily exist in the very composition of society ; the disorder produced by the working of an ill-contrived constitu tional system, and the practical mismanagement which these fundamental defects have generated in every de partment of Government. " It is not necessary that I should take any pains to prove that this is a state of things which should not, which cannot continue. Neither the political nor the social existence of any community can bear much longer the operation of those causes which have in Lower Canada already produced a long practical cessation of the regular course of Constitutional government, which have occasioned the violation and necessitated the abso lute suspension of the Provincial Constitution, and which have resulted in two insurrections, two substi tutions of martial for cisil law, and two periods of a general abeyance of every guarantee that is considered essential for the protection of a Bri tish subject's rights. I have already described the state of feeling which prevails emong each of the con tending parties, or rather races ; their all-pervading and irreconcilable enmity to each other ; the entire and irremediable disaffection of the whole French popu lation, as well as the suspicion with which the English regard the Imperial Government ; and the determina tion of the French, together with the tendency of the English, to seek for a redress of their intolerable present evils in the chances of a separation from Great Britain. The disorders of Lower Canada admit of no delay ; the existing form of Government is but a temporary and forcible subjugation. The recent Constitution is one of which neither party would tolerate the re-establishment, and of which the bad working has been such, that no friend to liberty or to order could desire to see the pro vince again subjected to its mischievous influence. What ever may be the difficulty of discovering a remedy, its urgency is certain and obvious. " Nor do I believe that the necessity for adopting some extensive and decisive measure for the pacification of Upper Canada is at all less imperative. From the account which I have given of the causes of disorder in that province, it will be seen that I do not consider them by any means of such a nature as to be irremedi able, or even to be susceptible of no remedy, that shall not effect an organic change in the existing Constitution. It cannot be denied, indeed, that the continuance of the many practical grievances which I have described as subjects of complaint, and, above all, the deter mined resistance to such a system of responsible government as would give the people a real con troul over its own destinies, have, together with the irritation caused by the late insurrection, induced a large portion of the population to look with envy at the material prosperity of their neighbours in the United States, under a perfectly free and emi nently responsible Government ; and, in despair of ob taining such benefits under their present institutions, to desire the adoption of a republican Constitution, or even an incorporation with the American Union. But I am inclined to think that such feelings have made no formidable or irreparable progress ; on the contrary, I believe that all the discontented parties, and especially the Reformers of Upper Canada, look with considerable confidence to the result of my mission. The different parties believe that when the case is once fairly put before the mother country, the desired changes in the policy of their government will be readily granted : they are now tranquil, and I believe loyal ; determined to abide the decision of the Home Government, and to defend their property and their country against rebellion and invasion ; but I cannot but express my belief that this is the last effort of their almost ex hausted patience, and that the disappointment of their hopes on the present occasion will destroy for ever their expectation of good resulting from British connection. I do not mean to say that they will renew the rebellion, much less do I imagine that they will array themselves in such force as will be able to tear the Government of their country from the hands of the great military power which Great Britain can bring against them. If now frustrated in their expectations, and kept in hopeless subjection to rulers irresponsible to the people, they will at best only await in sullen prudence the contingen cies which may render the preservation of the province dependent on the devoted loyalty of the great mass of its population. " With respect to the other North American pro vinces, I will not speak of such evils as imminent, be cause I firmly believe that, whatever discontent there may be, no irritation subsists which in any way weakens the strong feeling of attachment to the British Crown and empire. Indeed, throughout the whole of the North American provinces there prevails among the British po pulation an affection for the mother country, and a pre ference for its institutions, which a wise and firm policy on the part of the Imperial Government may make the foundation of a safe, honourable, and enduring connexion. But even this feeling may be impaired, and I must warn those in'; whose bands the disposal of their destinies rests, that a blind reliance on the all-enduring loyalty of our countrymen may be carried too far. It is not politic. to waste and cramp their resources, and to allow the backwardness of the British provinces everywhere to present a melancholy contrast to the progress and pro sperity of the United States. Throughout the course of the preceding pages I have constantly had occasion to refer to this contrast. I hsse.3 not hesitated to do so, though no man's just pride in his country, and firm at tachment to its institutions, can be more deeply shocked by the mortifying admission of inferiority. But I should ill discharge my duty to your Majesty, I should give but an imperfect iew of the real condition of these pro vinces, were Ito detail mere statistical facts without de scribing the feelings which they generate in those who observe them daily, and daily experience their influenceon their own fortunes. The contrast which I have described is the theme of every travel'er who visits these countries, and who observes on one side of the line the abundance, and on the other the scarcity, of every sign of material prosperity which thriving agriculture and flourishing cities indicate, and of that civilization which schools and churches testify even to the outward senses. While it excites the exultation of the enemies of British institutions, its reality is more strongly evinced by the reluctant admission of your Majesty most attached subjects. It is no true loyalty to hide from your Majes ty's knowledge the existence of an evil which it is in your Majesty's power, as it is your Majesty's benevo lent pleasure, to remove ; for the possibility of re form is yet afforded by the patient and fervent attachment which your Majesty's English subjects in all these provinces still feel to their allegiance and their mother country. Calm reflection and loyal con fidence have retained these feelings unimpaired, even by the fearful drawback of the general belief that every man's property is of less value on the British than on the opposite of the boundary. It is time to reward this noble confidence by showing that men have not indulged in vain the hope that there is a power in Bri tish institutions to rectify existing evils, and to produce in their place a well-being which no other dominion could give. It is not in the terrors of the lave, nor in the might of our armies, that the secure and honour able bond of connection is to be found. It exists in the beneficial operation of those British institutions which link the utmost development of freedom and civi lization with the stable authority of an hereditary mo narchy, and which, if rightly organized and fairly admi nistered in the colonies, as in Great Britain, would ren der a change of institutions only an additional evil to the loss of the protection and commerce of the British empire. But while I count thus confidently on the possibility of a permanent and advantageous retention of our con nection with these important colonies, I must not dis guise the mischief and danger of holding them in their present state of disorder. I rate the chances of suc cessful rebellion as the least danger in prospect. Ido not doubt that the British Government can, if it choose to retain these dependencies at any cost, ac complish its purpose. I believe that it has the means of enlisting one part of the population against the other, and of garrisoning the Canadas with regular troops s ufficient to awe all internal enemies. But even this will not be done without great expense and hazard. The experience of the last two years fur nishes only a foretaste of the cost to which such a system of g overnment will subject us. On the lowest calculation, the addition of 1,000,000/. a-year to our an nual colonial e xpenditure will barely enable us to at tain this end. Without a change in our system of go vernment, the discontent which now prevails, will spread and advance. As the cost of retaining these colonies increases, their value will rapidly diminish; and if by such means the British nation shall be content to re tain a barren and injurious sovereignty, it will but tempt the chances of foreign aggression, by keeping continually exposed to a powerful and ambitious neighbour a distant dependency, in which an invader would find no resist ance, but might rather reckon on active co operation from a portion of the resident population. " I am far from presenting this risk in a manner calculated to irritate the just pride which would shrink from the thoughts of yielding to the menaces of a rival nation. Because, important als I consider the foreign relations of this question, I do not believe that there is now any very proximate danger of a collision with the United States, in consequence of that power desiring to take advantage of the disturbed state of the Canadas. In the despatch of the 9th of August I have described my impression of the state of the feeling with respect to the Lower Canadian insurrection, which had existed, and was then in existence, in the United States. Besides the causes of hostile feeling which originate in the mere juxta position of that power to our North American pro vinces, I described the influence which had undc,ubtedly been exercised by that mistaken political sympathy with the insurgents of Lower Canada, which the inhabitants of the United States were induced to entertain. There is no people in the world so little likely as that of the United States to sympathize with the real feelings and policy of the French Canadians ; no people so little likely to share in their anxiety to preserve ancient and barbarous laws, and to check the industry and improve ment of their country, in order to gratify some idle and narrow notion of a petty and visionary nationality. The Americans who have visited Lower Canada perfectly understand the real truth of the case ; they see that the quarrel is a quarrel of races ; and they certainly show very little inclination to take part with the French Canadians and their institutions. Of the great number of American travellers, coming from all parts of the union, who visited Quebec during my residence there, and whose society I, together with the gentlemen attached to my mission, had the advantage of enjoying, not one ever expressed to any of us any approbation of what may be termed the national objects of the French Canadians, while many did not conceal a strong aversion from them. There is no people in the world to whom the French Canadian institutions arc more intolerable when circum stances compel submission to them. But the mass of the American people had judged of the quarrel from a distance ; they had been obliged to form their judg ment on the apparent grounds of the controversy ; and were thus deceived, as all those arc apt to be who judge under such circumstances and on such grounds. The contest bore some resemblance to that great struggle of their own forefathers, which they regard with the highest pride. Like that, they believed it to be a contest of a colony against the empire whose misconduct alienated their own country ; they considered it to be a contest undertaken by a people professing to seek inde pendence of distant controul, and extension of popular privileges ; and finally, a contest of which the first blow was struck in consequence of a violation of a colonial Constitution, and the appropriation of the colonial reve nues without the consent of the colonists. It need not surprise us that such apparently probable and sufficient causes were generally taken by the people of the United States as completely accounting for the whole dispute ; that the analogy between the Canadian insurrection and the war of independence was considered to be satisfac torily made out ; and that a free and high-spirited people eagerly demonstrated its sympathy with those whom it regarded as gallantly attempting, with unequal means, to assert that glorious cause which its own fathers had triumphantly upheld. " In the case of Upper Canada, I believe the sympa thy to have been much more strong and durable ; and, though the occasion of the contest was apparently less marked, I have no doubt that this was more than com pensated by the similarity of language and manners, which enabled the rebels of the Upper Province to pre sent their case much more easily and forcibly to those whose sympathy and aid they sought. The incidents of any struggle of a large proportion of a people with its Government aro sure, at some time or another, to elicit some sympathy with those who appear, to the careless view of a foreign nation, only as martyrs to the popular cause, and as victims of a Government conducted on prin ciples differing from its own ; and I have no- doubt that if the internal struggle be renewed,the sympathy from without will, at some time or another, reassume its former strength. " For it must be recollected that the natural ties of sympathy between the English population of the Cana des and the inhabitants of the frontier States of the Union are peculiarly strong. Not only do they speak the same language, live under laws having the same ori gin, and preserve the same customs and habits, but there is a positive alternation, if I may so express it, of the populations of the two countries. While large tracts of the British territory are peopled by American citi zens, who still keep up a constant connection with their kindred and friends, the neighbouring States are filled with emigrants from Great Britain, some of whom have quitted Canada aft& unavailing efforts tofind there a profit able return for their capital and labour and many of whom have settled in the United States, while other mem ' hers of their families, and the companions of their youth, have taken up their abode on the other side of the fron tier. I had no means of ascertaining the exact degree of truth in some statements which I have heard respect ing the number of Irish settled in the State of New York ; but it is commonly asserted that there are no less than 40,000 Irish in the militia of that State. The intercourse between these two divisions of what is, in fact, an identical population, is constant and universal. The border townships of Lower Canada are separated from the United States by an imaginary line ; a great part of the frontier of Upper Canada by rivers, which are crossed in ten minutes ; and the rest by lakes, which interpose hardly a six hours' passage between the inhabitants of each side. Every man's daily connec tions bring him in contact with his neighbours on the other side of the line ; the daily wants of one country are supplied by the produce of the other ; and the population of each is in some degree de pendent on the state of trade and the demands of the other. Such common wants beget an interest in the politics of each country among the citizens of the other. The newspapers circulate in some places almost equally on the different sides of the line, and men discover that their welfare is frequently as much involved in the poli tical condition of their neighbours as of their own countrymen. " The danger of any serious mischief from this cause appears to the to be less at the present moment than for some time past. The events of the last year, and the circulation of more correct information respecting the real causes of contention, have apparently operated very suc cessfully against the progress or continuance of this species of sympathy ; and I have the satisfaction of be lieving that the policy which was pursued during my administration of the Government was very efficient in removing it. The almost complete unanimity of the press of the United States, as well as the assurances of indivi duals conversant with the state of public opinion in that country, convince mo that the measures which I adopted metwith a concurrence that completely turned the tide of feeling in favour of the British Government. Nor can I doubt, from the unvarying evidence that I have re ceived from all persons who have recently travelled through the frontier states of the Union, that there hardly exists at the present moment the slightest feel ing which can properly be cal led sympathy. Whatever aid the insurgents have recently received from citizens of the United States may either be attributed to those national animosities which are the too sure result of past wars, or to those undisguised projects of conquest and rapine which, since the invasion of Texas, find but too much favour among the daring population of the frontiers. Judging from the character and beha viour of the Americans most prominent in the recent aggressions on Upper Canada, they seem to have been produced mainly by the latter cause ; nor does any cause appear to have secured to the insurgents of Lower Canada any very extensive aid, except that in money and munitions of war, of which the source cannot very clearly be traced. Hardly any Americans took part in the recent disturbances in Lower Canada. Last year the outbreak was the signal for numerous public meetings in all the great cities of the frontier state, from Buffalo to New York. At these the most entire sympathy with the insurgents was openly avowed ; large subscriptions were raised, and volunteers invited to join. Since the last outl roak no such mani festations have taken place ; the meeting which the Nelsons and others have' attempted in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and elsewhere, have ended in complete failure ; and at the present moment there does not exist the slightest indication of an y sympathy with the objects of the Lower Canadian insurgents, or of any desire to co-operate with them for political pur poses. The danger, however, which may be appre hended from the mere desire to repeat the scenes of Texas in the Canadas is a danger from which we can not be secure while the disaffection of any consider able portion of the population continues to give an ap pearance of weakness to our Government. It is in vain to expect that such attempts can wholly be repressed by the Federal Government, or that they could even be effectually counteracted by the utmost exertions of its v thority, if any sudden turn of affairs should again re vie a strong and general sympathy with insurrection in Canada. Without dwelling on the necessary weakness_ of a merely Federal Government—without adverting to the difficulty which authoritie s de p endent for their very existence on the popular will, find i n fee n s uccessfully resisting a general manifes tation of publil impossibility which any Government would find in re• straining a population like that which dwells along th e thousand miles of this frontier must be obvious to all who reflect on the difficulty of maintaining the police of a dispersed community. " Nor is this danger itself unproductive of feelings which are in their turn calculated to produce yet fur ther mischief. The loyal people of Canada, indignant at the constant damage and terror occasioned by incur sions from the opposite shore, naturally turn their hos tility against the nation and the Government which per mit, and which they accuse even of conniving at, the violation of international law and justice. Mutual re criminations arc bandied about from one side to the other ; .and the very facilities of intercourse which keep al iv© the sympathy between portioof of the tae populations, afford at the same time occasions r i / for the collision of angry passions and national anti- 9 1 7 - The violent party papers on each side, and re. pathics. the various bodies whose pecuniary interests a war would • promote, foment the strife. A large portion of each population endeavours to incite its own Government to •••.- , war, and at the same tim e labours to produce tne same eti result by irritating the national feelings of the rival 1 • --- community. Rumours are diligently circulated by the Canadian press, and every friendly act of the American people or Government appears to be systematically sub jected to the most unfavourable construction. It is not only to be apprehended that this state of mutual sus picion and dislike may be brought to a head by acts of mutual reprisals, but that the officers of the respective Governments, in despair of preserving peace, may take little care to prevent the actual commencement o f war. " Though I do not believe that there ever was a time in which the specific relations of the two countries rendered it less likely that the United States would imagine that a war with England could promote their own interests, yet it cannot be doubted that the dis turbed state of the Canadas is a serious drawback on the prosperity of a great part of the Union. Instead of presenting an additional field for their commercial enterprise, these provinces, in their present state of disorder, arc rather a barrier to their industrial energies. The present state of things also occasiors gre,,t expense to the Federal Government, which hes been under the necessity of largely augmenting its small army, on account chiefly of the troubles of Canada. " Nor must we forget, that whatever assurances and proofs of amicable feeling we may receive from the Go vernment of the United States, however strong may be the ties of mutual pacific interests that bind the two nations together, there are subjects of dispute which may produce less friendly feelings. National interests are in question between us, of which the immediate adjustment is demanded by every motive of policy. These interests connot be sup ported with the necessary vigour while disaffection in a most important part of our North American possessions appears to give an enemy a certain means of inflicting injury and humiliation on the empire. But the chances of rebellion or foreign invasion are not those which I regard as either the most probable or the most injurious. The experience of the last two years suggests the occurrence of a much more spzedy and dis astrous result. I dread, in fact, the completion of the sad work of depopulation and impoverishment which is now rapidly going on. The present evil is not merely, that improvement is stayed and that the wealth and popula tion of these colonies do not increase according to the rapid scale of American progress. No accession of population takes place by immigration, and no capital is brought into the country. On the contrary, both the people and the capital seem to be quitting these distracted provinces. From the French portion of Lower Canada there has, for a long time, been a large annual emigration of young men to the Northern States of the American Union, in which they are highly valued as labourers, and gain good wages, with their savings from which they generally return to their homes in a few months or years. Ido not believe that the usual amount of this emigration has been increased during the last year, except by a few persons prominently, compromised in the insurrection, who have sold their pro perty and made up their minds to a perpetual exile ; but I think there is some reason to believe that, among the class of habitual emigrants whom I have described, a great many now take up their permanent residence in the United States. But the stationary habits and local attachments of the French Canadians render it little likely that they will quit their country in great num bers. lem not aware that there is any diminution of the British population from such a cause. The employ ment of British capital in the Province is not materially checked in the principal branch of trade, and the main evils are ties withdrawal of enterprising British capitalists from the French portion of the country, the diminished em ployment of the capital now in the province, and the entire stoppage of all increase of the popula tion by means of immigration. But from Upper Canada the withdrawal both of capital and of population has been very considerable. I have received accounts front most respectable sources of a very nu merous emigration from the whole of the western and London districts. It was said by persons who professed to have witnessed it, that considerable numbers had for a long time daily passed over from Amherstburgh and Sandwich to Detroit ; and a. most respectable informant stated that he had seen in one of the districts which I have mentioned no less than 15 vacant farms to gether on the roadside. A body of the reforming party have avowed, in the most open manner, their intention of emigrating from political motives, and pub licly invited all who might be influenced by similar feel ines to join in their enterprise. For this the Missis sippi Emigration Society has been formed with the pur pose of facilating emigration from Upper Canada to the new territory of the Union, called lowa, on the west bank of the Upper Mississippi. The prospectus of the undertaking, acid the report of the deputies who were sent to examine the country in question, were given in the public press, and the advantages of the new co lony strongly enforced by the Reformers, and depreciat ingly discussed by the friends of the Government. The number of persons who have thus emigrated is not, however, I have reason to believe, as great as it has often been represented. Many who might be disposed to take such a step cannot sell their farms on fair terms ; and though some, relying on the ease with which land is ob tained in the United States, have been content to remove merely their stock and their chattles, yet there are others again who cannot at the last make the sacrifices which a forced sale would necessitate, and who continue, even under their present state of alarm, to remain in hopes of better times. In the districts which border on the St. Lawrence little has, in fact, come of the determination to emigrate which was loudly expressed at one time. And some even of those who actually left the country arc said with to have returned. But the instance s whi ch have come to my knowledge induce me too means attach evenagree more i m p or tance to the class than to the alleged number of the emigrants ; and I can by no some of the dominant party, that the persons who thus leave the country are disaffected subjects, whose removal is a great advantage to loyal and peaceable men. In a country like Upper Canadal where the introduction of population and capital is above all things needful for its prosperity, and almost for its continued existence, it would be more prudent, as well as just, more the interest as well as the duty of Government to remove the cause of dis affection, than to drive out the disaffected. But there is no ground for asserting that all the Reformers wh o have thus quitted the country are disloyal and turbulent men ; nor indeed is it very clear that all of them are Reformers, and that the increasing insecurity of person and property have not, without distinction of politics, driven out some of the most valuable settlers of the pro vince. A great impression has been lately made by the removal of one of the largest proprietors of the province, a gentleman who arrived there not many years ago from Trinidad ; who has taken no prominent, and certainly no violent part in politics ; and who was now transferred himself and his property to the United States, simply because in Upper Canada he can find no secu re invest ment for the latter, and no tranquil enjoyment of life I beard of another English g entleman, who, having: resided in the country for six or seven years, and in vested large sums in bringing over a superior breed of cattle and sheep, was, while I was there, selling o ff his stock and implements , with a view of settling in Illinois. I was informed of an individual who, thirty years ago, bad gone into the forest with his axe on his shoulder, and, with no capital at starting, had, by dint of patient labour, acquired a farm and stock which he bad sold for 2,0001., with which he went into the United States. This man, I was assured, was only a specimen of a numerous class, to whose unwearied industry the growth and prosperity of the colony are mainly to be ascribed. They arc now driven from it, on account of the present insecurity of all who, having in former times been iden tified in politics with some of those who subsequently appeared as prominent actors in the revolt, are regarded and treated as rebels, though they had held themselve s completely aloof from all participation in schemes or acts of rebellion. Considerable alarm also exist s as to the general disposition to quit the country, which was said to have been produced by some late measures of the authorities among that mild and indus trious, but peculiar race of descendants of the Dutch, against who inhabit sucii a r t e l e t b e parta l c a k me nt a lamentable the res u N i t s i a o g f a r t a h e d i p s o t r h i t e i t c . al an d social evils which have so long agitated the eanada, and such is their condition, that at the present moment wdaenagreerseasloledaioarnifitiongtaknes itmhomseedoiafteropbreel%unt,iofnosreigni n vision, and utter exhaustion .sciownaisnntkitudo fromei constitutions, oa l e a nn t and i p o pi n na .. rtehn N et V vp l e rre n y.
