LONDON.
TUESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 12, 1837.

We have received by express from Liverpool, Que-
bec and Montreal papers, with the speech delivered by
Lord GOSFORD, Governor-in-Chief, on opening the
Provincial Parliament of Lower Canada on the 18th
of August. This speech, which will be found at full
length in another part of The Sun, is too vague to sa-
tisfy any party. It betrays a weak, vacillating policy,
in which the Canadians will discover neither a redemp-
tion of the Reform pledges of the Government, nor an
energy requisite to maintain existing abuses. The ob-
ject of the Government, as expressed in the speech, is to
put the House of Assembly again on its trial—to try
what effect the resolutions passed by the late Imperial
Parliament will have upon the Papincau party. " The
chief object," says his Excellency, addressing the
Members of the House of Assembly, " for which you
are now called together is to afford you an opportunity
of granting the requisite supplies—of rendering unne-
cessary on the part of the Imperial Parliament any
further action of the eighth of the series of resolutions
to which I have alluded ; and it will, I can assure you,
be to me a matter of unmixed satisfaction should you
resolve to concede to the united voice of the British
people, as expressed through the several branches of
their Legislature, that which you have not thought it
expedient to yield to the solicitations of the Executive
Government alone." Stripped of the official verbiage
in which it is conceived, this extract from the Gover-
nor-in-Chief's speech—or rather, . the speech taken
altogether—embodies the following, unvarnished decla-
ration :—" I again call upon yon for money ; armed
with the power of the British empire to punish your
refusal, and offering in rcquiAal as a redress of your
grievances—nothing. The odds against you are fear-
ful in the extreme ; but you may still avert the
doom that awaits vou, by instantly conceding all
that I before demanded, and you refused. You have
insisted that the measures of reform about which you
made so ',ouch noise, and raised such a needless and
indecerit clamour in the last Session, should accom-
pany any call upon you for supplies. The death of
the late Sovereign necessarily prevented Ministers
from maturely considering your wants, though it has
not at all diminished their eagerness to see the Execu-
tive in the receipt of your money. But your claims have
not been altogether overlooked. Let the supplies be
forthcoming, and have patience, and you will be
gitonished at what I shall accomplish in your favour.
A plan for purifying the two councils is in progress
—so you see we want not to be too harsh with you.
I have called you together now, that your final reso-
lution may be known to Ministets before the opening
of the Imperial Parliament in October next, in order
that your conduct may form the subject of a paragraph
in the Royal Speech." This in point of fact is
the sum and substance of the Governor-in-Chief's
address. Its effect upon the House of Assembly may
he anticipated with a tolerable degree of certainty.
It will be regarded as an insulting menace by the de-
mocratic party—the supplies will, in consequence, be
again refused—and there will be another dissolu-
tion of the Assembly in the course of a few days.
Ministers will retaliate by passing a coercion Bill,
founded on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S luckless Reso-
lutions, and then will begin a struggle which may
lead to a Papineau declaration of independence. How
very easily might the Government prevent the possi-
bility of such a train of events happenib; within the
life-time of the present generation I What could be
simpler than to make the redress of the admitted
grievances of the Canadians precede a demand
for supplies ? Are we ashamed to have it
thought that England is more just than powerful ?
Why seek to mortify the Canadians by reminding
them that they are merely colonists, and therefore that
t heir first duty is obedience to the will of the mother
coumry ? And yet such a pitifni policy as this is the
occasion of all the heart-Itl-slings of the Canadians,
and may eventually drive them to have recourse to
arms, to put an end to their CwinCCtiOP with Great
Britain.

to assail is the reverse. They have no other means nt
taming the good-will of their patrons; ink' be i;le
inference what it may-,---.-IWWe'Ver honourable to the
persons attatkett--•—these means they must use. Such
beik:g the ease, we can hardly look, or indeed wish) fot
'Any amendment. All that we hor fzir—it would be a
treat—:s a little, v4.firty. The jingling of a bell occa-
sionallr krt do not object to ; but it is more that;
human patience car► endure to hear a whole teatik
jingling the same bells clay after dav and hour afte hour.
Ministers wont go out—Ministers Wont resign—
is the burden of the song, Then comes the stated
array of reasons to prove that, according to. tkli. the
rules of logic, they ought to deliver up the Go-
vernment of the country to the Tories. " They (the
Ministers) cannot reckon on a greater majority than
forty," cries one ; " and what a miserable majority is
that to carry on the business of this great country
with," responds another wise man. " The majority
too is exclusively Irish, and therefore no majority at
all," bawls a third animal—waving his cars at the same
time, as if he had felt himself tittering something
approaching to the rational.

We agree with these enlightened quill-drivers, that it
would be a most deArable thing for the Tories if the
MEL BOUR NE .A.dministration would resign their places
to the lea:lers of that faction. But we think—speak-
ing candidly—they are bound to advance some better
reasons than they have hitherto done fur a proceeding of
so much importance. 'When they pretend to depre-
ciate a majority because it does not exceed forty, they
ought to recollect that when it was more than
double that number, there was no desire manifested on
the part of that portion of the legislative machine
• where the lock has existed for some years—and where
they say it is expected to exist again—to give way. May
it not be possible too to make up for the want of num-
bers by other circumstances ? Is it not imaginable that
the SOVEREIGN, by embracing cordially the political
views of the Administration—by, in fact, identifying
herself with her Ministers, may make them infinitely
more. powerful than they were when they had a
greater proportion of the representatives on their
side, but were known to be at variance with the
Crown. We put this as a question worthy of
consideration by those sanguine spirits who give
out that Ministers must be weak—must come
short of the expectations of their friends—must do
this, that, and the other thing, which their ene-
mies much desire that they should do because
they have a majority of only forty ; reminding them,
parenthetically, that there was a Tory Statesman in
power not long ago—certainly not for a long time--
who not only had not a majority of 40—who not only
had no majority at all, but who actually clung to his
seat for a while with a majority of thirty-five against
him

We would illustrate our position in the following
way. It is too well known that Militar) Commanders,
Lords Lieutenant, Magistrates, and others, have
plumed themselves upon impunity for their doings
against the liberal system of government acted upon
by Ministers, trusting that, do what they might, their
removal would never be sanctioned by the Highest
Authority. Should her MAJESTY'S Ministers re-
present to her the necessity of a different mode
of dealing with these personages, is it not likely
that their services might be dispensed with, and
men better affected to the principles which her MA-
JESTY has given abundant proofs that she entertains
in common with the vast majority of the people, sub-
stituted in their room ? May not her MAJESTY
refuse her sanction to the appointment of cle-
rical Magistrates without calling in question her
attachment to the Church ; and may not the patronage
of the army be put on a different footing from that on
which it has stood for some time past ? We merely
put these cases to chew that there are ez-mstitutional
means of adding to the strength of an Administration
not less effectual perhaps than the number of its sup-
ters in Parliament.

By the Delight packet, which sailed from the Tagus
on the 30th ult., and arrived at Falmouth on Sunday,
we have received advices from Lisbon to the moment
of her departure inclusive. General BACON conti-
nued a prisoner in the castle, the Government only
consenting to release him on the condition of his quit-
ting Portugal. This he refused to do without a pre-
vious settlement of his claims, alleging that he had
committed no crime, and was entitled to the privileges
extended to British subjects. Lord HOWARD DE
WA LDEN appears not to have exerted any great de-
gree of influence to obtain his release. We have had
too much reason to complain of the apathy of our
Minister at the Court of Lisbon since the accession
of Queen Donns MARIA. The noble Lord pre-
siding at that Court, either from habitual indolence,
or an excessive and culpable tenderness for the Portu-
guese Government, has permitted outrages to be
offered to British subjects, and to the British flag,
which no representative of a British Sovereign ought
to have tolerated. Is England to be insulted in the
persons of her merchants, her soldiers, and her sailors,
because she generously volunteered to deliver Por-
tugal front the tyranny of Dom :MIGUEL ?
land saved Portugal, and yet a Ministry affecting a
remembrance of our services and sacrifices—calling
itself Constitutional—first swindles, or endeavours to
swindle, a British officer of high rank ; to accom-
plish which piece of villainy, he is first imprisoned
on a charge of corresponding with traitors, and only
offered his release on condition that he quit the king-
dom. To rob him with convenience, recourse is had
to the destruction of his character—to branding him
with the imputation of a convicted, banished traitor
If General BACON have committed any crime, it is
the din) of the British Minister to insist on having,
him brought to trial—not to countenance a proceed-
ing, which, if once sanctioned, would certainly lead to
the worst abuses.

We have no intelligence upon the accuracy of
which we can rely respecting the movements of the
rebels. The Duke of TERCEIRA was at Torres
Vedras, where he (lady receives fresh accessions of
st,r:ugth, by desertions from the constitutional army.
lhe Cortes were devisincz bubble securities for a new
loan. Where is the money to come from ? The anti-
commercial system of the Cortes will close against
them the coffers of British capitalists.

The news from Madrid is nut of a later date than
the accounts received yesterday. M. MENDIZABAL
has published a letter in answer to the attack made
upon him by General ESPARTERO. We give both
documents in another part of The Sun.

It must be believed that the faults committed by this

General Count Pagol forget the letters which he has writ-
ten in his favour, and in favour-of his establishment, as
well as the servitTs which Colonel Ameros has rendered to
France and to humanity, by founding an institution which
has gained a prize from the Academy of Sciences, and the
approbation of all the learned of Europe. It is affirmed
that Colonel Ameros has called for an inquiry. This ri-
gorous measure afflicts a great number of respectable fa-
milies, who appreciate the benefits which the children en-
trusted to Colonel Ameros derive from him. However,
the establishment which he directs with so much success
will not suffer by the short absence of their chie.f.—Le

CO3IMERCIAL IN'l ELLLGLf:

(THIS DAY.)

We have French Harnburgh, and Lisbon mails in this
morning, auk of voi,lllis of any.
commercial importance gill be found extracted beiov. There
is also an arrival from Newt York, by the Virginia, with ad-
vices and intelligence four days later than those yesterday by
Westiliitster. ~ She brings two hundred and fifty thous7nd
NCrl'antlY, ttittHl as last quoted.
Cotten is much sought after by speculators.
The list of imports at the port of London continues rather
scanty. The most prominent items in it are American Cot-
ton, Cdlonlal aid dilitir WO!, Foperm Oil, Turpentine, and
Irish Tobacco. There are also arrived 2,4148 casks of !Ash
Butter.

There have been some considerable additions made since
yesterday to the amount of- Colonial produce adverti,:icd fur
sale during the present week, raftlettlativ In Mauritio; and
Foreign Sugar and Colonial Wool. For to.tia, the Aver-
tiaments were not heavy, and were marked by an absetitM of
Coffee.

SunAft.---The hurricane In the West Indies, intelligence of
which was Conitnttnieated yesterday, excited considerable in-
terest tn.day In the Sugar Market. Although the devastation
occasioned by it was chiefly amongst the shipping, still most of
the Sugar was on board. All kinds of Sugar were, therefore,
held to-day at ail Oarly hour for is, to Is. 63. per cwt. ad-
Vallee ; but the &mad was Vet'y languid, The fact also of a
deficiency in the stuck, to the extent of 11,000 casks, Induces
importers to hold back. There can, however, be no consi-
derable rise whilst the Refined trade is so dull and the price of
Foreign Sugar so low.
Woon.—The eublic sales which commenced last evening
were well attended both by town and Country buyers, and went
off with spirit; 4,000 bales hare passed the hammer, and sold
at Id. to 2d. per lb. advance on low descriptions; middling
for combers fetched much the prices of last sale, and as yet no
fine Wool has been offered. The sales are progressing, and
fine Wool is expected to realize an advance.
INDICIO: Yesterday an advance of 61. to 91 per lb. was
secured by East India Indigo on the prices of the last sale.
This commodity appears to have received a very strong impulse
from the recent t'lrrt in the money market, and to participate
largely in that considerable improvement, which has been rea-
lised but by few articles at present.
TEA.—At this second day of the merchants' sale in Min-
cing-lane, the sale is progressing briskly, and fully the ad-
vanced prices of the Company's late sale are maintained ;
and, in some instances, Congou secures prices a shade higher.
There was a numerous attendance at the sale.

AlETats.—The only matter worth notice is that Spelter
has fallen to 141. 10s. per ton.
TALLOW.—P. Y. C. to.day was 40s. on the spot and for
delivery.

FOREIGN.—We have received letters and papers from St.
Petersburgh to the 2d of September. The want of ships is
still felt, and high freights in consequence paid. The ship-
ments this year fall generally short in comparison to last sea.
son, and the falling off is principally apparent in the exports
to the United States. Tallow continued in demand, and
large purchases had been made at rather better and more
even prices than those of last week, the quotations for first
quality varying from 103 to 106 rubles ; of second marks some
sales were effected at 100 rubles. The exports of Tallow are
above last year. The accounts from the interior of Russia and from
Riga state, that the crop of Flax promises to be abundant, and
it was generally expected, that if no unusual demand should
appear from England, the holders would accept lower prices
than the current. At Petersburgh considerable transactions
had been done and were doing in Olive Oil, and prices advan-
cing. Linseed was in demand, but the offers lower than the
quotations, which prevented any business of moment. The
imports of Twist have been very extensive, and the article
enjoys a fair request at firm and improving prices.
The arrivals of Vessels at Cronatadt, including August the
30th, amount to 866, and the departures to 012. Freights to
London, 525. 6d. per ton, Hemp ; bs. per quarter, Linseed ;
and 7Ss. 6d. per standard, Deals. To Hull, per ton Tal-
low, 305.; Hemp, 505.; Linseed, 4s. 9i.•' Deals, 703.; to
Liverpool, Tallow, 32a.; Hemp, 555.; Deals, 80s.
The accounts from France report a good business doing in
Sugar and Coffee, at firm rates; at Havre and Nantes an un-
provement in the former is quoted, and the stocks of French
Colonial Sugar at both places are considerably below those of
last year, and so much so that it has engaged the attention of
the Refiners, who have bought rather largely. The total
stock in France on the Ist inst. amounted to 40,000 Mids.,
against 32,000 at the same period last year. The late ad-
vance in Cochineal here on the spot has had some influence
on the markets at Bourdeaux and Hamburg, and higher prices
were demanded, and the holders had at both places raised
their quotations. The low prices lately paid for Hides, have
attracted the notice of the buyers at several important Hide
markets on the Continent, and large sales have been made at
Hamburg, Antwerp, and Havre at full and improving prices.
Lead continues in demand, and a supply of Spanish received
at Havre was taken immediately on its arrival for Rouen, but
the price, which is said to be high, has not transpired.
The latest accounts from Charleston, reporting the stock of
Rice for shipping rather short, and the markets in the interior
very firm, has caused some movement at Havre, the stock there
of Carolina being only 500 tierces against 3,200 last year,
and an improvement is looked for.
HOPS.--When we went to press the duty was 200,000/. ;
but it was expected to advance to 210,0001.
A thalf.past one o'clock All kinds of Raw Sugar were held
for an advance of 1 per cent. Refined Sugar was also held
for an advance.

No sales of Coffee of the slightest importance.
Saltpetre and Cloves were put up to-day at public sale, but
withdrawn at prices which is no criterion for the market.
Rice sold briskly and extensively at Ils. to 13a. 6d. per
cwt. for good white Bengal, which prices are about 6d. per
cwt. higher. The general feeling in the Colonial Market is
much as it was last week, and every quotation is firm.
We have accounts from Valence, in France, of the sth of
September, which describe the fairs for Silk in the South of
France to have gone off worse than was expected, and the
sales at Tournon, Romans, and Aubenas, were very languid ;
and a general complaint prevailed that the manufacturers from
Lyons offered lower rates than the state of the manufacturing
market, however bad it is, admitted of. The finest filatures
attracted more attention.
