QUEBEC, Feb. 24.

The Legislative Council have got through very
rapidly with the debate on the Confederation scheme,
having closed the discussion of that measure on
Monday night, when the motion in favour thereof
was carried by a vote of 45 to 15. Although it was
considered that the Upper Chamber would have a
majority in favour of the Government, few were
sanguine enough to believe that the " contents"
would have been so numerous.

The discussion of the proposed new Constitu-
tion still continues nightly in the Lower House,
and is likely to last one or two weeks longer.
In the Legislative Assembly on the 17th inst.,
Mr. Galt, the Finance Minister, moved that the
report on the supplementary estimates for the fron-
tier volunteer force and the St. Alban's Bank
money be received.

Mr. Holton, while he did not oppose the principle
of the first resolution, questioned whether the best
method had been adopted by the Government, who,
he contended, were responsible for bringing about
the state of things which rendered such expenditure
necessary. After considerable discussion, the ques-
tion was then put, when the Government resolution
was carried by a majority of 71, only 15 votes being
in favour of the amendment.

The next question on the item for $50,000 to
make good the money improperly surrendered in
the St. Albans' raiders case, then came before the
house. A warm debate followed, in which the Go-
vernment was severely criticised.
Mr. J. A. M'Donald, in reply, observed that the
Government did not pretend to decide to whom this
money belonged ; all they desired was to place it in
precisely the same position as if it had not been sur-
rendered by the ex-Chief of Police. He remarked
that if unwillingness were shown in this matter, the
United States would not make any demand upon
Canada, inasmuch as they could not deal with this
country. They would at once make a representation
to the Imperial Government, who would pay the
money, and then this country would have to pay.it
back to England.
After some further discussion the resolution was
then put to the vote and carried on a short division.

The Civil War in Mexico,

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

The following is the text of the address of Juarez
to the Mexicans :

resolved, as on the first day, to go on defending our
independence and liberty against despotism. It is
true that we have been unfortunate ; fortune has
often been adverse to us, but the cause of M • exico,
which is the cause of right and justice,
,has not suc-
cumbed, and will never succumb, because there are
yet true Mexicans left in whose bosoms the sacred
fire of patriotism burns on. In whatever section of
the Republic they may take up arms to defend our
flag, there our country will live on, and there, as
here, the earnest and energetic • protest of right
against wrong will be ever heard. Let the unwise
man who has accepted the sad mission of being the
instrument to enslave a free people understand and
remember that treason, the breach of the faith
pledged in the preliminaries of Soledad, and the
recognition and adherence, dictated by the foreign
bayonets which support him, are the only titles he
is able to present in his pretensions to rule ; that
his throne cannot rely upon the free will of the
nation, since it is built with the blood of thou-
sands of Mexicans he has slaughtered for no other
reason than because they were defending their
liberties and rights ; that the traitors who called
him and those who under the pressure of force
bear his fatal influence or submit to his rules wil
have to remember that they are Mexicans, who can-
not leave to their children an inheritance of infamy ;
and during 11 years of cruel and unrelenting war
against a far stronger enemy we have learnt to re-
conquer our independence, and shall accomplish it by
employing the same elements that were at the dis-
posal of our oppressors of old. The usurper does not
like, perhaps, to think of his awkward position, and
instead of accepting the truths of our words, will re-
ject them with scorn and contempt. Conscience, that
never forgets nor forgives, will avenge us. In the
midst of the bustle of his Court, in the dead silence
of night, in the banquets. and even in the intimacy
of home, always and everywhere it will haunt and
importune him with remembrance of his crime, 'with-
out allowing him a moment of peace to enjoy the
fruits of his misdeeds. The hour of atonement will
strike, and the disappointment and remorse of the
tyrant, of the traitors, and of all those who mock us,
revelling at the vicissitudes of our country, will be
unavailing, for the national judgment will be inflexible
and stern. Mexicans 1 that hour will come, do not
doubt, as it did come in the year 1821 for our old
oppressors. Let us hope, then ; but let hope, acting
with the same heroic resolution of Hidalgo and Zara-
goza, with the activity of Merolos and with the con-
stancy and self-denial of Guerrero, kindle and increase
the sacred fire which shall bring forth the conflag-
ration which shall destroy the tyrants and traitors
that dishonour our land. Mexicans! Those of you
compelled by misfortune to live under the power of
usurpation should not submit to the load of shame that
overwhelms you. Do not suffer yourselves to be de-
ceived by the perfidious insinuations of the partisans
of accomplished facts, for they are, and ever have
been, the partisans of despotism. The existence of
arbitrary power is a permanent violence against
right and justice, which neither time nor the pressure
of arms will ever justify, and which we must destroy
for the honour of Mexico and of mankind. Such is
our task. Help us, if you would not deserve the
name of craven slaves of a foreign tyrant ! And you
Mexican 4 who in thew time of common danger are
