LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8.

On the 28th of September last we published the
correspondence which took place between the Se-
cretary of State for the Colonies and Mr. MINCNI,
the principal member of the administration of Canada,
on the subject of the Clergy Reserves. We now
And our contemporaries re-directing public attention
to the documents; and, in truth, the subject has a
deep and painful interest for all who value the main-
tenanoe of feelings of mutual respect and confidence,
between this country and her remote dependencies.
The mail that reached Southampton yesterday
brings uews of fresh agitation on the subject in the
peov ince. and tells of a new petition from the Colo-
mists to the Qum:4.
For many years the condition of the property de-
voted by act of Parliament toccelesiasticaljnirposes in
Canada has been the constantly recurring source of
dissatisfaction anti dispute. Parliament, in the pleni-
tude of imperial ignorance, took upon itself, while
the country was yet unpeopled, to decree that when-
ever a population should find i.s way thither, it
should discover standing in the way of improvement
large sections of land devoted to the purposes of "the
Church as by law established." So long as the forest
stood unfelled, and the Only dwellers by the shores
of the " inland seas " were the e 'Need or four-footed
aborigines of the wild, the sagacity of this marvel-
lous statute was not gainsayed. But from the day
when the axe of the emigrant began to be laid
to the root of her primeval trees, Canada became
conscious of her right to what the Rhode Islanders
had loved to term their soul-liberty;" and where-
soever in the cleared apace or by the river's bask two
or three score- families from Scotland, Ireland, or the
north of England, rested from their hard labour on
the Seventh Day—there was the spirit of non-
confurniity found to be in the inidst of them. That
it expressed its fervent hopes and prayers in different
shapes and in accordance with a great variety of
sectarian traditions brought from the old country,
was only natural. In sine cases out of ten it was not
the children of the favoured chinch at home who had
sought new settlements beyond the wave. Covenan-
ters, uprooted from Scottish ground to make room
for my lord to shoot undisturbed, or Catholics,
evicted from the Celtic soil by the Irish squires,
bore with them to Canada no particular prejudice in
favour of the Anglican ritual or tenets. And as this
miuglei race of emigrants grew and multiplied, it is
not to be wondered at that the old feelings and con-
victions gathered strength in their new state of im-
munity and independence. The law remained
unaltered which had fore-ordained that Canada
should be a spiritual fief of Canterbury holding large
blocks of public land ; but the people, as fast as they
struck root in the land, practically refused to recor
sine the presumptuous imposture.
As early as the year 1831 Lord RIPON, then a
Liberal, and a member of Lord GALT'S administra-
tion, saw the folly and mischief of affecting to adhere
to the obsolete policy of the last century; and in one
of his despatches as Colonial Minister promised that
a bill should be brought into parliament enabling the
provincial legislature to dispose of the ecclesiastical
lands as tiny might see fit for the common benefit of
the whole community. In the struggles of party at
home, and the disturbances caused by more urgent
questions in the colony, this just and releasable
pledge was suffixed to be unredeemed. Lord Rn'on
turned Toc7. Lord DERBY, who succeeded him, was
bent on driving the colonists to madness upon politi-
cal matters, to which unhappily he ea .cw,e. Lord
OLENELO was too incldent, and Lord lowa Resew.
too mach hampered by the results of his honest efforts
at Church temporalities reform in Ireland during the
MELBOURNE administration, to take up the subject
in a legislative form; and when Lard DERBY re-'
sinned the seals of the Colonial Department under
Sir R. PEEL, there was nothing effectual attempted.
The attention of his successor was called by the ad-
visers of Lord ELGIN to the need of doing something
towards a satisfactory adjustment; and—to do him
justice—Lord OREN appears to have been fully pre-
pared to concede unconditionally that entire con-
trol over the clergy reserves which Mr. Secre-
tary MINCKII and his colleagues demand on behalf
of the Colonial Assembly. It was understood
Indeed that a bill renouncing on the part of the Im-
perial Legislature the power to deal with the rode-
elastic:al lands of the province was to have been
brought in last session, had the late Government
renamed to oftlee.

Resting his claim upon this admiesion and ex-
rintention on the part of Lord GIIZT, Mr.
cets addressed himself, in the wrath of May last,
to Sir JOHN PAHINOTON, and premed lie ease reite-
ration of the asseronoe already given is the abject

were present at se' rat dinner parties .given with as
such ilorZr7 as possible. A &mieilasiey visit was
made at the kailfb of one of their hosts, M. de St.
Fermi, vim was mayor of Brionde in lt4B, and
papers were found which led to his arrest. I am
now informed that he will be tried at Aix, upon the
charge of being implicated in the conspiracy. The
house of M. Hada!, an ex-inspector of primary schools
at Pay and Agcn, was also searched, and papers were
seized, the contents of which have not transpired. M.
Dadra was dismissed from his inspectorship by M. de
Falloux in 1t449, on account of his socialist
opinions. lie was absent from his house at the time
of the search, and I am nut aware whether a war-
rant has been issued to arrest him. Among the
persons arresred in the department is M. Audiard-
&met, formerly editor of the socialist journal
L'At•ii du People.
The imperialist movement in Paris and the sub-
urbs has been commenced by the Municipal Council
of Montrouge, which has just voted an address to
the Prince President, expressing profound indigna-
tion at the monstrous plot agsinst his "august per-
son," and supplicating him to accept the impeimperial
crown as a means of for ever destroying the criminal
hopes of faction.
The following telegraphic despatches are in the
Illoniteur :

Toulouse, Oct. 6, half-past two a us,
The Prim has just pared is review the numerous de-
patriots* of the depiorinsint of the Haute Garonne, and of
the neighbouring departments, midst the warmest oaths-
Masn. Never has scab a manifestation been witnessed
in the Haute Garonne. The number of persons assembled
at the Polygon* u estimated at 200,000. The Prince in
going and returning was covered with flowers. Criss of
" VIVO PEsuperene were everywhere raised on his pas-
Me Prince Pmident left Toulouse to-shy for Agee.
The inksbitants were trembled on every part of his road,
and hailed bin with enthusiastic cries of Vise Louis
Napoleon," " Vise PEnspereur," " Vice Napoleon."
spatches received to-day state that the Presi-
dent arrived at Agon at five o'clock yesterday after-
noon. lle entered the town under a triumphal arch
and was received by the authorities. He then passed
in review a number of deputations from communes
of the Lot-et-Garonne. bearing flags and crying
Vive l'Empereur. At eight this morning the Prince
went on board a steamer on the Garonne, to proceed
by water to Bordeaux, crowds cheering him on the
way. Ile arrived at Bordeaux at four o'clock.
Preparations are already making for the Presi-
dent's triumphal entry into Paris. The minicipal
commission has opened a credit of 40,000 fr. for the
construction of a triumphal arch at the entrance of
the bridge of Austerlitz opposite the principal en-
trance of the Jardin dee Plantes. M. Visconti is to
have the management of this decoration. The Prince
will make his entry on horseback, at the head of
32 squadrons of cavalry of the first military division.
All the infantry of the garrison will be under arms,
to form the line of procession, in conformity with
the decree on the honours to be rendered to the chief
of the state when he re-enters the capital.
It is possible that the President may not return
to Paris till the 17th. At Nismes he was waited
upon by a deputation from Blois, to invite him to
visit that town. A definitive answer was promised
on the Bth of October, and, should it be in the af-
firmative, a supplemental programme will be
published.
The following is the reply of the Prince Pre-
sident to the Bishop of Montpellier, who termi-
nated his address by an appeal to the Prime%
clemency
