Quebec., 14th June, .1822. THE COLONIES—(CoNTiraTED.) [From the Montreal Paper.] COMMTJ NICATION. It is one of the anomalies of our situation, that the Official Newspaper should be enabled, by an imprudent law, occasion ally to raise the standard of defiance against the Ministry ; and that that establishment, which, in a well organiszd Government, is its:naturar advocate, should here often fly in the face of the Administration. This subject requires some attention in order to prevent the injurious inferences which might be drawn, by the reading public, in all quarters, frontseeing promulgated in the Quebec Gazette of 13th inst., sentiments calculated to destroy the con fidence of his Majesty's Canadian subjects, in the wisdom of measures now in preparation by the British Government, for effecting the Union of the Provinces of Lower and Upper Ca nada, and thus strengthening them against internal and exter nal foes. The law of the land to which we allude establishes the Que bec Gazette as the only legitimate medium for advertising those Sheriff's Sales of real Property throughout the Province, which the present infirm state of Canadian laws may be said to ren der the only means of conferring a tolerably safe tiff: upon a new possessor: Under this law ;he Editors of the Quebec Gazette are said .to obtain for advertisements from the Sheriffs of the four dis.: triets of Lower Provinces nearly Two Thousand Pounds per annum ; and those advertisements, so interesting to all pro prietors, give that paper so wide a circulation,. that not only the Executive Government, but also numerous individuals, have been induced to resc.t exclusively to its columns, making it one of the most lucrative publications on this Continent. 'the late Editor has thus been enabled to retire with a.fortune, and to introduce his son and a connection of his family into the same road to wealth and presumption: In the course of his professional labours, the late Editor per ceived that the present Constitution is eminently calculated to' bring into the House of Assembly such a mixture of many ig norant dupes with a few demagogues, as promised to him ad vancement in that branch of the Legislature. He obtained a seat; and events haVe justified his discernment; for, during several Sessions of that House, he has been suffered to take the lead in embarrassing or opposing the other branches of the Provincial Government; and we have actually - seen this Go vernment Printer, at the head of nine-tenths of the House of Assembly, straining every nerve for the purpose of stopping the wheels of that Government, which originated, and daily aug mented his fortune. Having thus explained the interest of the present Editors of the Quebec Gazette, and of their predecessor and patron in the continuance of a disjointed state of affairs so favourable to mo nopoly and abuse, we hope that their sentiments on the sub ject of the Union of the Canades will be received by the pub lic with distrust. In the confusion of mind which disappointed ambition and avidity produce, the Editors interlard their rhapsody with some incoherent questions which may call forth replies at a fu ture day ; unless such a mixture of ignorance, gratuitous asser tion and indecent arrogance, as they have ventured to publish, should be deemed, on reflection, unworthy of farther notice. Meantime, let us hope that all loyal and well informed sub jects will vigorously support the Legislative Union of the Cana des, which, while it will rescue the Upper Province froth the degrading alternative of becoming virtually dependent on the United States, or on Lower Canada, will naturally produce an intelligent and respectable Legislature, capable of deVeloping the commercial resources of this great country, and of thus en abling it to afford, those legitimate advantages to the Parent State, which are con' iplated in the establishment and defence of all Colonies. While we keep tl ; great objects in view, let us all be on the . alert,.never fort ing that measures most seasonable and most wise have been often retarded or prevented by the secret intrigues and misrepresentations of a few selfish and prejudiced individuals.

The Colombian aimed schooner Aga/11a, Commodtire Daniels, arrived at Norfolk on Sunday afternoon from La Guayra.— The Commodore himself arrived in this city this morning by the steam-boat from Norfolk, in excellent health and high spirits. By the Aguilla, letters and papers have been received in town, furnishing very satisfactory intelligence from the Republic of Colombia, among which we leave the pleasure to announce a fresh triumph of the Republican Arms before Porto Cabello—no less a triumph than the surrender of the PRINCIPAL FORT ON THE MAIN LAND, which gives the in= dependent army a commanding position to bombard the island in the harbour, which is now the last hold of the Spaniards. They cannot obtain any succour or support of any kind, except what they may chance to get by sea, and of this resource they will soon be deprived. The following is the capitulation alluded to :—. TRANSLATION Of the Capitulation of the Military Vigio, called Mirador de Solano, which completely commands the Town and Castle of Porto Cabello. CAPITULATION Proposed to the General-in Chief (Paez) of the Venezuelian Armies by the Captain-Comniandant of the Fort of the Vigio of Porto Cabello, : • Article 1. The garrison of this fort will march out by the Rastrillo to the right, with their armsshoulderecl, arid by the sound of the trumpet, each soldier permitted to take ten rounds of cartridges. Art. 2. The officers, serjeants, and soldiers to keep their arms, clothing, money, baggage, and their private furniture and utensils, as well as all their useful papers and orders. Art. 3. The garrison shall be transported, at the expense of the Republic, to Porto Rico, signifying to the Chief of the blockading squadron the course they ought to take, and the day of embarkation. Art. 4. The besiegers are to receive the sick and wounded, provided they are unable, or do not wish to embark. They are properly to be taken care of, and when recovered to be sent to the same destination, and in the same manner as the garrison to which they belong. Art. 5. The serjeants and soldiers are tá deliver up their arms on arriving at the point of meeting, and are to continue without them so long as they remain at the port occupied by the besiegers, and also during their passage by sea; but on landing at any port belonging tb Spain, their arms and trum pets are to be returned to them., Art. 6. The whole detachment shall be provisioned by the Columbian Government, so long as it remains in its territories, or under its commands, with the same rations which are fur nished to the besiegers. Art. 7. The assistant-surgeon, or practitioners and factor, shall be entitled to the same considerations as the troops oF this detachment. Art. 8. The fort shall remain in the same state as it actually is this day, without suffering any injury or detriment. Art. 9. Should any doubt exist or arise in relation to the im port of any of these articles, it shall be interpreted in favour of those who surrender. Vigo, May 17, 1822. Head-quarters, in front of Porto Cabello, May-17, 1822. All the articles comprised in the above Capitulation are agreed to, and the surrender of the fort, with all its armament and munitions not embraced in its articles, must be carried into execution this afternoon and delivered up to the Commandant Of Artillery. P.AEZ. • Santiago Mambo. (A-true copy.)—WOODBERRY. Forty of, the officers and men who surrendered as above were put on hoard the Aguila, then about to sail for the United States, with orders to the Commodore to land .them at Porto Rico. She sailed from La Guayra on 28th May, but springing her mast was obliged to put into St. Thomas's, and it is with much satisfaction. we have perused the following letter, so creditable to the understanding and good feeling of Commodore Daniels:— ST.

Question of Whether the same_ Horses returning with another Carriage arc liable to Doable Tolt. FEARNLEY AND 15 OTHERS V. MORLEY, GENT. &C. This was an action of assumpsit, brought by the Plaintiffs against the Defendants, to recover the surn of 771. 16s. 9d. who had pleaded the general issue, and thereupon issue was joined. Mr. Sergeant FRERE stated the case to the Jury.. Ile com menced by .stating that the case involved a question of law, and though of great importance to the parties, would occupy but little time. The plaintiffs, for whom he appeared, were proprietors of a stage called the Rockingham, which ran from London to Leeds; and the defendant, who is a respectable attorney in that county, was a nominal defendant for a re spectable body of Gentlemen, trustees of the turnpike roads between Alconbury and l%ransford. The question the Jury bad to try was ; whether the plaintiffs were liable to pay double toll on horses which passed through certain gates on that trust, more than once in 24 hours ? It appeared that the horses belonging to the plaintiffs accom- , panied the downward coach to Stilton, where they changed— and in the course of the same day the same horses were em, ployed one stage on the road towards London, returning through the gates they had passed before the hour of twelve at night, and the defendants had insisted on and had received double tell to the amount sought. The Learned Sergeant referred . to the Act passed 38th Geo. 111. which imposed a duty on the vehicle, and not on the horses ; but that Act was materially altered and amended by thelast Act ; which passed in the 59th of his late Majesty.-- One of the alterations which bore on the case was, that the toil was removed from the carriage and placed on the horses. Therefore under the old Act, the trustees of roads might as well have demanded - toll for the same carriage passing and repass ing on the same day, as they had claimed and exacted double 'toll for the horses of his client. _ _ Several authorities were cited, and acts referred to, and much discussion took place between Mr. Sergeant Mr. SToaxs (for the defendants), and the Learned Judge, who gave it as his opinion that it would be the best way, as there appeared at firSt some ambiguity in the meaning of the act, to let the plain tiffi have a verdict, subject to a nonspit. Mr. Serjeant. FItERE• acceded to his Lordship's•proposition. Mr. STonxs.--You mean, - .to take only nominal damages, I presume, Mr. Serjeant? Mr. Sergeant IHERE.-0, no ; we have paid 841., and we can prove the payment of 771. 16s. 9d. by witnesses in Court. Mr. ST o itss contended that ought not to be, and cited a casey thnphrey v. Maclean, to be found in East's Reports. The COURT thought if the money had been demanded, and one of the horses distrainecl, the case would have been different, —" What is your demand, brother Frere ?" Mr. Serjeant FRERE.—My Lord, 771. 16s. 9d., out of which we have paid 381. 6s. within six months. CounT.—Let the verdict be for the whole sum, and I will make a note of it. It must come before another Court for con sideration. The Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found for the plaintiff—damages, 771. 16s. 9d., costs, 40s.—subject to a non suit being entered. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, JULY 22, 1322. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. . . KENDAL V. RUOKE. Mr. BROUGHAM opened the case. This was an action of damages for breach of promise of marriage, accompanied by the aggravated circumstances of the seduction of an innocent young woman, and the birth of a female child. The plaintiff, Margaret Kendal, lined servant with a Mr. Cooper, in the city of York. The defendant, Mark Roake ' lodged in the. same house ; and in the years 1816, 1817, and 1818, continued to keep up an intimacy with the plaintiff; of the character of honourable courtship, and ultimate promise of marriage. ^, The Learned Counsel trusted he should no/ hear a whisper escape the Jury about the menial situation of his client. She was the daughter of creditable parents, her father having fanned his own land. The defendant was an innkeeper, in the city of York, of somewhat libertine principles, but of good fortune; and after repeated promises of marriage, he accomplished his dishonourable purpose, of which the consequence was a female child. The defendant *continued his system of deception, and in conversation with the brother and sisters of the plaintiff; after her delivery, still avowed his intention of marrying her, averring he could never think of marrying another woman. The promise of marriage, however, was not proved by the evidence ; and the Jury in consequence found a verdict for the defendant. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—SALISBURY, JULY 23. SPORTING ACTION FOR DEFAMATION OF A STALLION. SWEATMAN V. GLASEPY:-.-SPECIAL JURY. Mr. SELWYN stated the case. The plaintiff and defendant travelled about the country with horses. His client possessed one (a stallion) of a very superior kind, whose good fame the defendant had scandalously traduced, for which he had brought this action, with a view to obtain compensation in damages for the injury done the character of his stallion, who is called Florian. Mr. P. WILLIAMS followed on the same side, and ex patiated largely on the beauty of Florian, who would, he said, be proved to be as good as he was handsome ; and that the de fendant had published throughout the country, in the most pub lic manner, that he could buy the progeny of this valuable creature at 161. per head; and concluded his address to the Jury by saying, that the action was brought both on legal and moral principles. Several witnesses were called, when Mr. Serjeant PELL said—Gentlemen I shall trouble you with no-witnesses in this absurd cause. It is not an action fo: slanderous words made use of by the defendant against tee plaintiff., whereby speckil damages can be obtained. What was said to the 'prejudice of a horse cannot affect the character of a man ; and if any damages are to be given, they can only be fbr two guineas, which Perris (the witness called, on the part of the plaintiff) had said he should have given if he had not heard the bad account spoken of the horse by the defendant. Mr. Justice Riciimensos observed to the Jury, that this was not like an action of slander against the reputation anei character of a man, but for words as charged in the declaration as .being false, scandalous, and malicious, published of and concerning the plaintiff's horse Florian, which only affected the plaintiff by traducing the animal in the estimation of others; special damages, therefore, must be stated in the record, and proved, before they could be sustained ; but it had been stated in evidence that the defendant had travelled about the country, speaking against the plaintiff's horse, from which he had been. prevented from receiving the sum of two guineas of Penis. If they believed this, they would find ibr the amount. The Jury consulted a short time, and brought in a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages 2/. 2s. „ I iP al° v'
