In the Parliament of Upper Canada the alienMosrrneat question has g:lrtr,
rise to n very lengthened discussion, which ended in the rejt.et,c.c
of the Bell by a majority of fifteen, and an amendment, of which
we make the following extracts, substituted :
" A very large portion of the inhabitants of this province :I
composed of persons who have come fmm the United States of
America. and who were either natural-born British subjects then,.
selves, or children of natural-born British subjects: which said
persons have, with the knowledge, approbation, and encourage.
went, and, in many cases, in consequence of the invitations of his
Majesty's Government, come into, settled, and been received into
this province, and been treated and considered u natural-born
British subjects, and entitled to all the privileges. &c., and bawl
also been liable to all duties, !Lc. at natural-bsn British subjects.
And whereas doubts have lately been manifested, whether they arc
entitled to the rights, &c. of British subjects.
It is therefore declared, &c. that all persons who were born, or
whose fathers or paternal grandfathers were horn in his 31sjesty's
dominions, and who have since been resident in this province (not.
withstanding they may have resided in, or been citizens of the said
United States of America, at or since the period when the inde-
pendence of the said States was recognised and acknowledged by
his Majesty's Government) are, and shall be considered to have
been, to all intents, &c. as natural.born British subjects, and en-
titled (subject to any qualifications which the legislature of this
province has from time to time thought it expedient to impose) to
all rights, &c. of natural-born British subjects."—Nrw York
