CHRISTIAN SLAVERY. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM TITITIS, DATED OCT. 21. " On the 17th inst. arrived here the Sardinian 'brig Geacio, Captain Antonia Luiza Niale, from 'Smyrna, in 20 days, with soldiers ; also the blaltese brig Due Cugini, Captain Chissuro, from Constantinople and Smyrna—from the latter place in 20 days, with silk manufacturers, &c. — Both these vessels bring a number of unfortunate Greek slaves ! principally young girls, destined as presents to the Bardo, and boys, all under 10 years of age, who have been circumcised. What appears most extraordinary is, that this nefarious traffic in Christian blood is not only carried on under the flags of the Holy Aliance, but the two vessels in question were actually escorted from Smyrna to Cape Passaro by an Austrian ship of war. _ _ " On the sth inst., the Bey of Tunis laid an embargo on all shipping in this Regency until his two new frigates the Mansura and Husania (built at Marse.ilfes), and a large sciambecco, should be ready for sea : those vessels sailed on the 16th inst. for the Levant ; the frigates hav ing each 44 guns and 400-men ; the sciambecco 6 guns and 125 men. " P.S. A large Swedish brig has just come in from Sweden, with presents to this Government." NEW SOUTH WALES. Gazettes from Hobart's Town to the 30th o Jnne were received yesterday at the New Eng - - -land Coffee-house. They furnish little of im portance, beyond the direct and striking ev dence they contain of the improvement of tha colony, particularly in the manufacture, growth, -or discovery of the articles most essential to its own wants, and for which'the colony has hither to been 'principally indebted to Europe. Among these may be mentioned coarse cloth, glue., parch ment, and leather ; printer's ink, mill-stones, equal in every respect to the French burrs, to bacco, beer, hops, &c.; coals and slate are also found, with timber fit for ship-building, and other valuable purposes. Free settlers continued to ar rive, and were composed generally of persons in a more respectable rank in life. The number of persons arriving in Van Diernan's , Land, for the 12 months preceding, who at their departure from England had received grants of land, consisted of 500, of whom one-third were accompanied by their families, and had also brought out servants. The following account of the state of New Zea land and the missions there, is extracted from the Sidney Gazelle, May 31 :—" By the Woodlark, a letter has been received from the Rev.M r.Williams, of the London Missionary Society, stating the safe arrival of the brig Queen Charlotte, Capt. Henry, at the Bay of Islands, on her way to the Society Islands. The Rev. Gentleman says, that the vessel narrowly escaped being cut off at the North Cape ; the natives in the vicinity being very unfriendly and barbarous. By another channel we learn, that Missionary efforts are rendered fruitless, and suspended pro tempore, owing to the state of confusion and warfare into which the whole island by this time may be plunged. Shunghee, that aspiring and enlightened chief, who has but lately returned from England, dreams and talks of nothing less than the total subjugation of the whole island to his sway. All his views are directed to that-one object ; and be has actually issued a mandate to some of the gentlemen of the Missionary body, prohibiting their departure from the present place of re sidence on pain of the consequences, being determined to class the friend with the foe who shall dare to impede or obstruct his measures ; and he will give no passport of safe conduct, therefore the Christian arms are, in this instance, for a time unavoidably grounded. This Chief has profited considerably by his visit to England ; having thence obtained a vast expan sion of mind, and imbibed incalculable know ledge. His observation upon Europeans, and their customs, has been so particularly close, that there is as much distinction, in point of mental endowment, between the other Chiefs and he that now contends for the New Zealand crown, as exists, comparatively speaking, between the Christian and the infidel. His quickness of per ,ception is none of the least of his acquired qualities, which, joined to unusual strength .of mind, and a determination to conquer, renders him very formidable. As to ability to effect the intended enslavement, when the 'Woodlark left, he had one of the best armies that New Zealand ever witnesi'ed : it consisted of 2,000 picked men, and those were daily being joined by others,who seemed to wish Mr. Shunghee to be their King. This force, headed by Shunghee in person, was on the eve of setting out for the river Thames, intending to exterminate all the refractory in that vicinity, and thus strike terror into the hearts of all. It is thought that fie will accomplish his vast undertaking ; but how his `New Zealand Majesty will be able to retain his blood-bought dignity, and suppress the envy of the numerous Chiefs who govern the mighty `tribes, is a ,problem which time alone can solve. At all events, King Shunghee will be renowned in the annals of his country. No other informa tion comes by this opportunity that is further important ; at least, nothing that we can venture tb report upon, without further and the most un equivocal testimony."

[From the Montreal Herald, October 16, 1822.] We present our readers with the important proceedings of the Meeting for devising means for effecting a re-union of the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, to which we beg to direct the particular attention of our Readers. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the Friends of the Re-union of Upper and Lower Canada, took place on Monday last, 14th instant, at the Exchange in St. Joseph street, to devise measures for the promotion of that desirable object; and the Hon. Joint RICHARDSON' was unanimously chosen Chairman, and Mr. JoirN FLEMING Secretary. The business of the day was opened by the Honourable Chairman, whose name is intimately connected with the Con stitutional history of this province, who observed that they had been called together to consider of the best means of promoting the re-Union of the Provinces of Lower and Upper Canada.— This was a question of great moment to themselves, but infi nitely greater to their posterity ; for upon its decision might depend whether inducements would not be held out to them, to become Foreigners in a British Colony ; or, for the Inhabitants of foreign origin to become British. When the Bill for the re union was lately introduced into the Imperial Parliament, it was opposed by a few Members, at the head of whor i n was Sir James M‘lntosh ; a systematic opponent of Government, who opposed it as being one of their measures.—Whereas had it been an opposition measure it would certainly have had his support : as it was, he (Sir James) did not disapprove of the prin ciple of the measure; and had, to the knowledge of the Hon. Chairman, founded his opposition upon misinformation; he had said that the present constitution of the two Provinces had been two years known to the inhabitants before its adoption—it was not so. The Hon. Chairman was in London in the winter of 1790- 91, at the time the Bill was introduced into Parliament which, to the astonishment of every one not in the secret, separated the province of Quebec into two. Part of the population,French as well as English, had petitioned for a representative govern ment, with a House of Assembly, and Mr. Adam Lyrnburner, an old merchant of Canada, was appointed Agent of the peti tioners to forward their obeject. He, and every person from Canada then in London, whereof the Hon. Chairman was one, and every London merchant con nected with Canada, petitioned against the separation, and were heard by Counsel at the bar of the House of Commons. The Hon. Speaker was examined at the Bar of that House against the separation, and his sentiments thereon during 30 years had not changed, as the anticipated baneful effects of the separation had become practically manifest. The Minister persisted in the measure, and it passed into a Law, before it was known in Canada that the division of the then Province of Quebec into two had been made. Could it be possible to conceive any system more devoid of good to this country than two separate Governments ? was it in the nature of things, while Lower Canada had the possession of the seaport of the Provinces, and while the present unhappy differences subsisted between the two countries, that without some great change in the Government, those differences could be satisfactorily settled, or that any essential improvements could take place in the administration of our political and commercial affairs ?—Upper Canada complained for want of a due propor tion of the import duties, while Lower Canada, on the contrary, maintained that her Sister Province asked too much. Here, of itself, was a great source of disagreement, and a reference of the consequent disputes to the decision of arbitration was the only remedy that could be applied. But whatever might be the propriety and justice of such a remedy, he was convinced in his own mind, that no measure could be permanently efficient for adjusting the present unfortunate division, but a re-union of the Provinces. Something should be done, and that was the only step, that appeared to him to be quite suitable. Lower Canada held unquestionable possession of the commercial key to the provinces, and a majority of the House of Asssembly of the Province was anti-commercial . ; was it proper that this key should be allowed to remain in the sole possession, and under the sole controul of the Lower Province, while it was so well understood that Upper Canada had an equal right to its pos- session. Suppose two families to occupy one house, with only one outer door of entrance and exit, they might indeed agree for a short space of time regarding the opening and shutting of the door, but would it be for a moment questioned, that when any difficulty arose, the one family had not as just a right to the controul of the common door as the other ? Could Lower Canada contrive any system of revenue that would not be de structive of harmony ? Unhappily not; for, upon almost every subject, the pople of Lower Canada were divided according to their origin, which has given birth to ideas as far apart as the Antipodes. It could not be supposed that Canada could ever prosper in its present divided shape ; we were now in that situation that all dissimulation must be entirely laid aside ; and it was his individual opinion that the measure of the re-union, so loudly called for, would benefit its opponents as largely as its promo ters ; and he felt sincere pleasure in that opinion, because he had always ardently desired to see his Majesty's subjects of French origin assimilating themselves to those of British origin, and thus becoming daily more capable of enjoying themselves, and of transmitting to their posterity the beneficial consequences of the proposed union, which he hoped no sophistry or artful display of difficulties could induce the British Government to give up. lie felt indeed at a loss to account for the alarm of some timid individuals. The Canadians of French descent had their Religion se cured to them by the highest authority on earth ; their property was also secured, and what were they afraid of ? Let them look to the conduct pursued by the Romans on such subjects. When that great people admitted a conquered nation to the rights of Roman citizens, the language of the Empire be- Icame the official language of the new country which they had adopted. The Hon. Chairman concluded an' animated and argu mentative speech, by expressing himself perfectly satisfied, that the cause which he advocated would prevail ; if not he had only to say, that himself and those around him must sub mit, as became good and loyal subjects, to the decision of the supreme Legislature;—but, added he, as our cause must pre vail, let us then one and all hold forth the hand of good fel lowship to our opponents, and, forgetting all that is passed, embrace them as brethren of the great British Family. JAMES STUART, Esq. began by observing, that in dis charging the duty imposed on him of submitting some resolu tions to the consideration of the meeting, he regretted that the shortness of the notice he had received that this duty was ex pected from him, had precluded him from applying that atten tion to the subject which he would otherwise have done. He must, therefore, bespeak the indulgence of the meeting for the manner of acquitting himself on the occasion. He deemed, however, any want of preparation on his part of the less importance, as the subject under consideration was so plain and simple, as to require no tedious process of reasoning to establish the conclusions to be adopted by the meeting ; and, he was satisfied that none of the respectable persons then pre sent, required tube convinced, that the Union of the two Pro- vinces was of indispensable necessity. Indeed, this was a measure of which the Policy was so pal pably evident, that he did not think any of the opponents of it could so resist its adoption on any of the general considerations applicable to the subject. It would he invidious and unnecessary on the present occa sion to point out with particularity the motives for their hosti lity to the measure ; but he might with propriety observe, that if examined they might be distinctly traced to one or other of three sources. National prejudices, which ought to be extir pated, and local and personal interests, which ought to be dis carded from the consideration of the question. The explanations which had been ably given by the Honour able Chairman, he observed, had exhibited the prominent con siderations affecting the question, and would render it less ne cessary for him to occupy the attention of the Meeting by any prolixity of statement. Among the circumstances requiring the proposed Union, those produced by the hand of nature itself furnished irresistible argu ments for the adoption of that measure. The Canadas were united by local situation ; Upper Canada could not conveniently receive her supplies from the mother, or other Countries, nor could she export her surplus produce and commodities, except through Canada, which was her natural highway for that purpose. Hence a dependence on the part of Upper Canada on Lower Canada, which neither time nor circumstances could destroy. Hence the necessity of subjecting the two Canadas to one Le gislature, by which a free ingress and egress would be secured to Upper Canada, and the interests of both, necessarily inter woven with each other, be adequately regulated and promoted. Without the adoption of this measure Upper Canada must be at the mercy of Lower Canada. Palliative remedies of du bious policy, and infringing the constitutional rights, of the Lower Province might be applied by the superintending power of the Mother Country, but these would be found ineffectual, and must give rise to great dissatisfaction in the minds of one or other of the parties concerned, and be ultimately abandoned as inadequate for the purpose intended. In the meantime a progressive increase of population in the two Provinces, conjoined with political circumstances might urge them to terminate their differences by a resort to violent measures, and it was not too much to anticipate that, without a union, growing causes of animosity between them might render the exercise of the just and natural claims of Upper Canada dependant on a successful exertion of her physi cal force. This he observed was the natural view of the ques tion as it respected Upper Canada, at the time of the division of the late Province of Quebec took place, and the differences which had recently occurred between the two countries on the score of duties at the Port of Quebec, were only a practical ex hibition of part of the evils growing out of the measures. It was foreign from the matter under consideration to advert to the remedies which it was said had been lately applied to this evil by the Imperial Parliament. It was to be presumed that they were intended as a temporary expedient ad interim only, and to be superseded by the Union. They must, if continued for any time, be found absolutely intolerable by the Lower Province ; but he should forbear to make any observations on them, under the supposition that their operation would be of short continuance. In addition to the powerful considerations he had already urged in favour of a Union, he thought the strongest auxiliary arguments were to be derived from the beneficial consequences to result from that measure affecting the internal government of the Provinces. He might, he believed, take upon himself to say, that the Colonial administrations of neither had given sa tisfaction to the Country in regulating their internal and ex ternal concerns, and, considering the present composition of the separate Legislatures, there was no speedy prospect of meliora tion. There was a want of efficiency which was not likely to be soon remedied, while two distinct Legislatures continued to sub sist, and the effects arising from this cause could not perhaps be more strikingly exemplified than by contrasting the state of im provement in these Provinces with that to be observed in the neigh bouring country, the vast superiority exhibited in the latter clearly prove the existence of great inherent defects in the present sys tem. He felt satisfied, however, that under such a Govern ment as the Union would produce, the advantages would all be in the side of British subjects inhabiting these Provinces.— With an exemption from public burthens that lessen the profits of Industry in the United States, they would have the benefits resulting from a better form of government, and from the fos tering protection of the Mother Country.—lt was in Lower Canada, however, he observed, that the evils arising from a di vision of the Provinces were strikingly conspicuous. Here the powers of Government had been paralysed, and all improvement obstructed, by the ever recurring differences be tween the several branches of the Colonial Legislature ; which no doubt had in some instances been promoted by individuals who have found in them causes of personal aggrandisement and importance. But, it was sufficient to assert the existence of the evil on the present occasion, without investigating the concurring causes that produce it. To any person conversant with the history of the Province it must be evident, that in Lower Canada the po litical evils, of which the existence and inveteracy will be ad mitted on all hands, can find a remedy in the proposed union only. Mr. Stuart observed, that convinced as he was of the expe diency and necessity of the Union, and entertaining an anxious wish to see it realised, he had observed, with much regret, thata part of the population of this Province appeared to be under the most erroneons impressions with respect• to this measure ; and it seemed to him that these impressions must have been produced by misrepresentation. The part of the population to which he alluded, had been led to imagine that the Union would operate injuriously to their peculiar rights, and endanger their religion and their laws.— There was not, he observed, the slightest foundation for any apprehension on this score. The Roman Catholic Religion, by the Act of 1774, was not merely tolerated, but put on the footing of an Established Religion in this Province. Nothing more could be desired than the provisions of this law, notwith standing the Union should continue inviolate, and an adequate security on this head could no doubt by any Bill further the Union which might pass, be afforded. With respect to the laws which prevail in the Province, they stood on the same firm basis—the statute to which he had alluded. They comprise an excellent system of municipal law, derived principally from a French source, requiring only some enactments to adapt them to the use of a Commercial People, and such additions to them as circumstances may require. With the administration of those laws the country had long been familiar, arid was satisfied with them, and no change, he believed, was meditated or expected by any part of die community. Upper Canada, it was to be presumed, would be equally jea lous of its laws, but in neither of the Provinces Was apprehen sion to be entertained on this head, as the systems of law, pecu. liar to each, with their respective systems of judicature, would after the Union remain in statu quo ; and what would be prin cipally required in both Provinces, would be such legislative enactments as the interest common to both would from time to time require. He would, he observed, indulge an expectation that the part of the population to which he alluded would, on further consi derations, see cause to relinquish their opposition to a Union of the Provinces, founded on considerations of policy and justice : and he was satisfied, that, after this measure had gone into operation, they would have reason to congratulate themselves on its adoption. Every part of both Provinces would soon exhibit the benefi cial effects of the Union, and the inhabitants, of whatsoever na tional origin, or whatever religious creed, would equally feel its improving influence. Mr. Stuart, afte: apologizing for occupying the attention of the meeting so long, observed, that he would have the honour of submitting to their consideration several Resolutions in unison with the sentiments he had expressed, and which he hoped would receive the concurrence of the meeting. He then proposed the following Resolutions, which were una nimously adopted :- Ist—Resolved, That in the opinion of this Meeting the geographical situation of the two Canadas in respect of each other, and the relations which nature has established between them, render their union under one Legislature indispensably requisite for the continuance of a friendly and mutually benefi cial intercourse, and for the prosperity of both. 2d—Resolved, That the experience of thirty years, which have elapsed since the division of the late Province of Quebec into two Provinces, with separate Legislatures, has confirmed the inexpediency and impolicy of that measure, which, besides occasioning politial evils of great magnitude, has most injurious ly retarded the development of the resources of both Provinces. 3—Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the pre tentions of Upper Canada, in respect of duties on importations at the port of Quebec, and the difficulties to which they have given rise, are a direct consequence of the establishment of dis tinct Legislatures in the two Provinces, and only one of the many evils of which that measure has already been productive, and which, without, an adequate remedy, must be succeeded by still greater. 4th—Resolved, That without the benefit of a Union, there can be no prospect that the differences between the Provinces, respecting Revenue, will be effectually removed ; and the re medial measares applied for that purpose will only exasperate the growing animosity between the two countries, and operate prejudicially to the interests of the Mother Country. sth—Resolved, That among the many beneficial conse quences to result from a Union, this meeting consider, as one of the most important, the effect it will have in extinguishing the national prejudices and hostility of feelings, derived from difference of origin, that now prevail to the infinite injury of the community, and in consolidating the population of both Pro vinces into one homogeneous mass, animatedby the same views for the public interest, and the same sentiments of loyalty to wards their common Sovereign. 6th— Resolved, That in the opinion of this Meeting, the pro posed measure of uniting the Provinces under one Legislation, is essentially necessary for ensuring the continuance of their connexion with the Mother Country, and rendering lasting their dependence on it. 7th—Resolved, That this meeting has observed, with the greatest satisfaction, and respectful gratitude, the attention which has been bestowed by His Majesty's Government on the proposed measure of a Union of the Provinces, and cannot but hope with confidence that, at this period of tranquility, when measures for confirming the strength and advancing the com mercial prosperity of the Empire, may be most advantageously canvassed and adopted, the great and important purpose of uniting the Canadas under one Legislature will be accom plished. fith—Resolved, That Petitions to both Houses of the Impe rial Parliament, from all those interested in the prosperity of the Provinces, and ambitious of transmitting the character of British subjects to their posterity, ought to be presented, ex pressive of their anxious desire that the proposed Union may take place. 9th—Resolved,That a Committee of eleven be now appointed to prepare a Petition from the persons resident in the City and County of Montreal, who are desirous that the proposed measure may be realized, to correspond with our fellow sub jects in the Townships and other parts of the Province, and in Upper Canada, and adopt such other steps as may appear ad visable, with a view to promote the success of the measure. 10th—Resolved, That the Committee be composed of The Hon. John Richardson, Hon. Charles William Grant ; and James Stuart, Samuel Gerrard, George Garden, Frederick William Ermatinger, Samuel Gale, George Moffatt, John Molson, Peter Mac Gill, John Fleming, Esqrs. It was then Resolved, That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Hon. John Richardson, for his able conduct in the Chair. Resolved-That the thanks of this Meeting be given to Jas. Stuart, Esq. for his excellent Speech and Resolutions, in sup. poet of the important business of the day. THE MURDER AT AYLESBURY.—Yesterday James Richards, a stout athletic countryman, was brought before EDMUND GRIFFITHs, Esq., the sitting Magistrate at Mary-le-bone Office, charged on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of 'an aged couple, who kept the toll-gate at Ashton Clinton, a mile or two on this side of Aylesbury, on Tuesday night last.—The only evidence adduced to criminate the prisoner was that of Levy, a Jew, who stated, that lie was sit ting in a public-house, the,sign of the Lord Thor ley, in Nottingham-street,Mary-le-bone, at break fast; prisoner was also there; a man was reading aloud the account of the atrocious murder at Aylesbury ; the prisoner changed colour, and appeared agitated, and asked instantly in a very hurried manner where the murder was committed ? The prisoner sat for some minutes, and asked his way to Fleet-street.'The witness, in consequence of the agitation the prisoner displayed, thought he might have been concerned in the murder, or some other act, therefore he gave information to this of fice, and he was taken into custody . .—The prisoner in his defence said he was an Oxfordshire man, and had come from North Wales to Salisbury, and from thence to Southampton and to Guild ford, across the country, and, finally, arrived in town. As to the murder he was totally ignorant ; lie never heard of it until the person had read the account, He also said he had two brothers in town, but had not seen them since last spring, and he knew not where they lived. The prisoner was detained until inquiry can be made.—ln formation of the atrocious act was lodged at the office, and inquiries in the country are ordered to be instituted.
