BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.
Lard WHARNOLIFIR shrew &Mention to the territory
=rile Om& and the Rooky Mountehrs, hewn as
River Bettlanist, and asked what course the go-
verment propmed to take respeoting it. Two methods bad
ingriaM—samely, that it should be united to Canada
or masted into a separate colony. His own idea was that
it wield be unwise to unite this large tract of land, which
wee one le espabis of improvement, to Canada, and that the
heel come wield be to mot A into an independent settle-
met
Earl OR.ANVILLE-1 ass assure the noble lard that he
hod no need to apologise for having introduced the subject,
yr for the statement wbiob be has mde—(bear, Imar)—
more paMenlarly as the noble lord, from his travels and or
aidence in that country, and the interest he has takes is it,
has made himself complete muter of the littt. I am
afraid that my answer to the question of the noble lord will
not be in all respects math/factory to him. There is no doubt
whatever of the truth of the noble lord's state-
ment as to the great impartaace of some image-
mans being made in raped to these Maharani.
After the committee which sat in the Hare of
Orman in 1837, thee* we • eorrespoodenee with
Ganda upon that subject. le 1863 the Hudron's Bay Com-
pany themselves admiand to the government the insporturis
*I asteblishiag a settled boundary, and the company made a
aepoeal to her Majesty's goverment for that end. Al,
, the aceeptause all the proposal would have in-
volved en mermen Marge upon the home treasury, it was
notate that Mr goverment could Mop,. The gave mon%
subsequestly imam eouater proposal, by which an lam-
nity to the osamery would be obtained, not by & positive
charge upon the Treasury, but by the sale of hal is the
p poteorryy ceded. The fludeoes Bay Company declined the
eal Bred* the negoMaties aWreatice was mode to
the OaMdian governmeat. Bolting t6haemm to join in the ar-
m:gement, but that they did not think proper to do. More
resently the Hudson's Bay Company made another proposal,
and that proposal the Sernstary of State sent out to
Canada, urging upon the government there to take part in
settling the boundary between the territory of the Hoboes
Bay Company and its owe, sad thig to the Canadian
governmest to make some pt its own part. No
mower to this comminicatios has been received, but I
think, notwithstanding what the noble lord has stated,
that, considering the present state of the negotiation foe
federation of our different *Maim in North Amulet, is
would be impossiblefor her Majesty's government to advise
the establishment of • purely separate jurisdiction by the
motion of the territory alluded to into a crown a:boy.
The Earl of S •WAFIWBURY tendered hie thanks to
the noble lord for bringing forward this interesting and im-
portant subject, and *spree:eel a hope that her Majesty's
government would give attention to Ms noble friend's state-
ments. He trusted that the primer members of the house
would follow the example of his noble friend, and inaugu-
rate or take part in dirousioes on important tomes. If
they did so, he believed they would add greatly to the
credit end sigamey of that home. (Hear, hear.)
The Earl of AIRLIE trusted that steps would be taken
for the purpose of drawing a definite dins between Quads
sod the north wester. Matery, and between that terri-
tory and the United States ; also that the land would be
thrown open to settlers, and moorragernent given to emi-
gration. Her Majesty's government should, however, very
seriously consider the proposition of tlo noble lord before
they adopted it, because by its adoption this country would
los pledged to the defence of the colony in time of war. So
keg as the colonists were prepand to stand by us we
should stand by them, but that very consideration should
wader on careful how we incurred an obligation of that
nature, particularly in the case of • territory itoad as
this wee, which presented the greatest ditficeltim for the
await of troops and munitions of war from this country.
(Hear, hear.)
The subject then dropped.
Their lordships adjourned at tea minutes to 6 o'clock.
